Pearlman THE LITTLE GEORGIA MAGNET A few days ago, while looking over an old copy of The Times, found on the street here and printed about 27 vears ago, we found this paragraph: All the Georsia towns, both large and small, are developing girls with strange powers sim ilar to those of Lula Hurst. It will soon be that no town will be fashionable which hasn’t its electric girl. The next day we read in one of the Macon papers that Mrs. D. A. Haygood was dead, but the report, so far as it affected her past life, was so far wrong that we did not recognize it as being the ‘Little Georgia Magnet,” whose star of fame far surpassed that of the origi nal |‘electric wonder” referred to in the paragraph above. Still later, in the Milledgeville News, publish ed in the city where she was born and reared, was an account of her funeral, in which it was declared that “during the past 15 years she has appeared before the crowned heads of Europe and Asia,”” and that ‘‘she attracted international attention by her wonderful acting and display of histrionic ability.” All of which reminds us that fame is fleeting indeed. Here is a woman whose picture appeared in every newspaper in Europe and America— who appeared before all of the crowned heads—and yet the paper in the city where she was born does not seem to know that her fame was not founded upon her ‘“‘acting or his trionic abilty,”” but upon some super natural power which defied those who sought to explain it. Her power might have been physical strength in a man, but that could hardly ex plain it in a woman $O frail as the “Little Georgia Magnet.” Her en tertainment of about two hours con sisted in tests of various sort. One of them was that, placing her hands upon a chair, without clinching it, but raising it from the floor, a doz en strong men could not put it on the floor or break her &grasp without twisting or jerking it. She could take a billiard cue between her fin gers and a dozen men could not low er it when she resisted or raise it from the floor when she placed it ENTERTAINMENT NETS A NEAT SUM FOR THE CHURCH.

The peo ple. are practically all inclined to consider the matter favorably. From the Valdosta Times, there. By laying her hands upon a raised umbrella of steel frame the cover would be torn from it as though lightning struck. sShe had many other tests, and in no city ;where she appeared did anyone who witnessed her performances doubt ‘the genuineness of her strange pow ers. “The Little Georgia Magnet” was formerly Miss Dixie Jarratt, and married Chas. E. Haygood (known as ““Pig” on account of being unusu ally stout), and who was killed in Milledgeville while serving as chief of police. Mrs. Haygood was always known as a spiritualist, a good |‘me dium,” and ‘‘spirit rappings’’—talk ing with the dead—were often held at her home, more in amusement than anything else. The night that Lula Hurst, now Mrs. Paul Atkinson of Madison—gave her entertainment as an ‘electric wonder’” Mrs. Hay good attended. Going home she tried the same tricks, and did them so well that-her fame was accomplished after she went on the stage. After mid night that night her husband ran out on the street and called in the neigh bors to see the “performance,” which all regarded as wonderful. Her first entertainment outside of Milledge ville was given for the Atlanta Li brary Association. A few days later her husband was Kkilled and she abandoned thoughts of the stage. Blackshear, of Macon, persuaded her to go on the road. Under his hanagement and. later under the management of a man named Ab bott—to whom she was married— she visited every capital in Europe, played before every court, including the sultan’s harem, and brousht back to America trunks loaded with gifts from royal personages, includ ing a beautiful Morocco lined silver mounted writing desk from the king of Ttaly, similar gifts from Russian noblemen, Germans, French and Englishmen. She gave entertain ments before Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle and had testimonials and gifts from the queen and from the Prince of Wales, who succeeded to the throne as king. Tt is one of the ironies of fate that such a woman should die and even her own generation forget all about her. CREDITORS FAIL IIN ACTION AGAINST BLAKELY CITIZEN, The Claims Aggregated Less Than $l,OOO. Was Represented by a Dawson Attorney. COLUMBUS, Ga.—The involun tary bankruptcy proceeding brousht against D. W. James, of Blakely, was dismissed in federal court today. Some time ago a petition was filed against Mr. James by three local creditors at Blakely, alleging that he had committed an act of bank ruptcy. The claims aggregated less than $l,OOO. The merits of the case were really not entered into in the hearing in the federal court. It was shown that Mr. James' principal income was from tilling the soil and thus, under the provisions of the bankruptcy act this proceeding could not be brought against him. He farmg 10,000 acres, and his employes on his farm, in the bank, warehouse and fertilizer fac tory which he heads asgregate about 'l.OOO in number. He is said to be worth about a hal fmillion dollars. Mr. James contested the bankrupt cy proceedings vigorously, being rep resented at the hearing by Attorney M. J. Yeomans, of Dawson. How’s This?

After .lying undisturbed for 61 years in a Jersey City bank a $73 deposit made in 1854 will bring its owner by inheritance the sum of $1,020. Mrs. Carolyine Waldron, of Jersey City, the will of wh se husband, Thomas Waldron, was filedq January 6, 1879, will receive the sum of the existence, of which she had no idea until several days ago. When Mr. Waldron died he left an estate of $60,000 to his widow and a son, Charles Waldron. The widow was made administratrix and four vears later she filed a certificate with the surrogate, closing the estate. Recently Mrs. Waldron was look ing over some of her husband’s ef fects in an old trunk that had for years been stored in the attic. In the old trunk she discovered a bank book worn with age. The first page show ed a deposit of $73 in the Provident Savings Institution of Jersey City. Immediately after bringing the bank book to light Mrs. Waldron sought a lawyer, who obtained from the surrogate an order on the bank for payment.
