The circus, as usual drew a large

Tc the Superior Court of said County
The petition of the Trustees of Em¬
ory College, located in said county and

CLERK’S OFFICE SUPERIOR COUB
Newton County, Georgia.
I, John B. Davis, Clerk of the Su¬
perior Court of Newton County, Geor¬
gia, do hereby certify that the above
and foregoing is a true and correct
copy of the original petition of the

One of those dear lady friends of
ours who take a particular Interest
in other people's affairs got on a cai
and sat down beside a quiet looking
man whose face was badly pitted.
“Why, you poor man!” she ex¬
claimed. “How you must have suf¬
fered! How long ago did you have
the smallpox?”
"Madam,’’ was the seriously spoken
reply, “what evidently drew your at¬
tention are not pits of smallpox. I
had these put on by a beauty spe¬
cialist to keep my face from skidding
when I eat watermelon.” — Chicago
Tribune.
Figured In Cold Dollars.
“The value of human life isn’t sup¬
posed to be figured in cold dollars,”
said a builder, “but people don’t gen¬
erally know that in every big build¬
ing erected In New York the price of
human life is a consideration figured
In the estimate.
“In a building of so many stories
and of a certain sort of construction
the contractors figure that a few work¬
men will be killed and there will have
to be settlement with the families.
Maybe no architects or contractors
would admit that this is true, but it’s
A fact nevertheless.”—New York Sun
