STATE HAS NO CLAIM 1 ON TALLULAH FALLS State Supreme Court Rules That State Granted Title Legally. Atlanta, Ga., Dee. 13.—1 n a decision handed down today the State Supreme Court has finally settled the litigation over Tallu lah Falls, deciding that good title to the property rests in the Georgia Railway and Power Co. and that the state has no claim to the falls or any of the sur rounding property. This decision brings to an end the long fight made by' Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet of Gaines ville and others in the eliort to take the falls away from the power company in order that they they might be preserved for their natural beauty. The land in dispute covers 258.4 acres of land in Tallulah river gorge lying partly in Habersham and partly in Rabun counties. The Supreme Court holds that the Georgia acts of 1818 and 1819 designated the limits of those counties and legalized the survey of their territory into lots and the granting of those lots. Ideal Christmas Gift. “Out-of doors” with a Stevens is the best developer for a grow ing boy. Learning to shoot well and acquiring qualities of self control, decision and manliness are the invariable results of a Stevens Firearm education. Particular attention is called to Stevens Little Scout, Favorite and Visible Loading Repeating Rifles. Progressive dealers car ry Stevens firearms in stock and can supply individuals at attrac tive prices. Insist on Stevens when purchasing—there are no substitutes. These guns -and rifles are made in all sizes gauge s —c alibres—weights, lengths, etc. Send to the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass., for their new general fire arm catalogue No. 53. This em bodies detailed descriptions and furnishes the most complete number of Christmas suggestions in the firearm line. There is no more suitable or appropriate present than a fa mous Stevens Rifle, Shotgun or Pistol. These well known fire arms have been on the market since 1864, are guaranteed in every way and universally con ceded to be the best at popular prices. Remember—when securing your gifts for the Merry Yule- Tide Season—a Stevens Rifle or Shotgun makes a man of your boy and no mollycoddle. Has Big Hogs. Speaking of hogs, Mr. H. .T. Carson has just killed two that were fine specimens. The two largest weighed respectively 595 and 590 pounds and some of the others was almost as large. The first of these measured 6ft. 10 long, 3 ft. 5 in. high; while the second measured 6 ft. 6 in. long, 3 ft. 2 in. high, 5 ft. 6 in. front girth and 5 ft. 4 in. hind girth.— Monroe Advertiser. A Natural Inference. A School-teacher wa3 reading a story to a class of very small folks, and paused at the words “lay brother,” to explain their meaning. “Does any one know what ‘lay brother’ means?” she asked. For a moment a row of per plexed little faces looked up at her. Then one face brightened suddenly, and a small voice pin ed, “Yes, ma’am—it’s a rooster!” Dental Notes.

The enormous growth of the i apple industry in Washington, Idaho, and other Northwestern states was demonstrated at the j recent convention of the North i Pacific Fruit Distributors at Spokane. One thousand cars of apples for future delivery were sold through the association for a total price of approximately four million dollars. The cars approximated one thousand dol lars each. One car of Wenatchee apples in New York brought two thousand dollars. It consisted of Winter Bananas, Jonathans, King Davids, and Grimes’ Gol dens. All the one thousand-dol lar ears averaged from $1.35 to $2 a box f. o. b. shipping point. The Northwest apple crop for 1913 is estimated at seventy-five hundred cars, or about four mil lion five hundred thousand boxes. W. E.

She says further: “Before 1 began to use Oil Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able Bga to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, Ido all my housework, IwS as well as run a big water mill. 1 wish every suffering woman would give E CARDUI B key The Woman’s Tonic hgjj , a trial. I still use Cardui when 1 feel a little bad, gQf and it always does me good.” pSH Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman- Igf ly trouble.
