Little Girl Attacked I
By Dogs In Aflanta
Krom Atlanta Journal.l
Leonora Mull, 14 - year - old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W, C.
Mull, of 79 East Harris street,
was attacked by four dogs while
proceeding along Ivy street late
Tuesday afternoon and painfully
bitten upon the calf of the leg.
The child, who is a bright
pupil of Crew street school. left
her home about 6 o’'clock on an
errand. Whileon Ivy between
East Harris and Baker streets,
she suddenly found herself in
the midst of dogs that were
barking and snarling in a vicious i
manner. She screamed for help
at the top of her voice but before
assistance arrived one of the
canines had fastened its sharp
teeth in the flesh just below her
knee. It is supposed that the
cries of the young lady frighten
ed away the dogs, otherwise she
might have received frightful in-
Juries.
Despite her lacerated limb and
the nervous shock incident to the
frightful experience, the child
bravely proceeded to her home
where medical aid was quickly
summoned. It isis not believed
that any of the dogs were mad
and Dr. Coleman, who examined
and dressed the wound, stated
that the ipnjury would heal
speedily, provided no complica
tions develop. -
The anxions parentsare of the
opinion that the city authorities
should take some action, regula
ting the custom of allowing dogs
to run at large over the commun
ity.

William H. Klepper,
Born at Mount Holly Springs,
Pa. Dec. 21st 1872, died at the
Stratford House in this city,
Thursday May 31st.at 9;45 P.
M.
Prof. Klepper had been sick
but a few days and his untimely
death was a shock to the commun
ity in which he bad spent less
than two years and in that time
made many warm friends with
our very best people.
He came here from Pennsyl
vania in September 1904 and had
just finished his second term as
superintendent of public instruc
tion. The graduating exercises
set for Friday evening May 25th.
were postponed on account of his
sickness and in the hope that he
would be able to attend Monday,
but Monday he was much worse
and did not improve during the
week, dying Thursday night,
in spite of the very best atten
tion and medical skill.
Prof. Klepper was known here
as a man of cleanest Christian
character and instructor of tact
and ability, full of energy and
perseverence. .
He had just been elected to the
third term as superintendent and
had planned to prepare himself
more thoroughly for the work{
during his vacation. |
He was a graduate of the State
Normal School of Pennsylvania.‘
afterwards he attended the Uni
versity of Western Virginia and‘
Cornell in New York. He was a
teacher eleven years and honored |
his chosen profession.
But the saddest of his untime
ly end is the widowhood of his
young wife. On June 20th.
1905, nearly a year ago, he was
married to Katrina Wassarman
at her home in Tallapoosa. She
had been a teacher in the schools
and their close association cul
minated in their marriage, and,
as Mrs. Klepper, she continued
her duties as teacher here until
the close of the session coinci
dental with his sudden death.
A beautiful church service was
held at the Central ~Methodist
church Friday afternoon, at
which a throng of people showed
their respect to the dead. After
the service the local lodge of Odd
Fellows took charge of the body
which was sent to Tallapoosa on
the7:ss A. B. & A. train accom
panied by Mrs. Klepper and Dr.
L. S. Osborne, of the scktool
board.
The Enterprise joins the com
munity at large and the many
friends of the family in sympathy
for the widow, the mother, two
brothers and four sisters who
were so sadly bereaved.

to pass out the visitor noticed
some men with familiar faces,
Curiosity turned these men to
the stranger, who immediately
recognized them as the hunters
‘who were seen in tne forest at
the time of the arrival of the
caravans, and who were Bow
numbered among tne city’s
most prominent and prosperous
men.
At this moment the old man
‘was attracted by the various
!noiscs on the street. These
!noises were caused by the pass
ing of traps, automobiles, and
trollty cars. The hunters in
vited .he old settler to join them
in a troliey ride about the city.
Ia a few moments they were
passing through streets that
were swarming, and whirling,
and quivering with the motley
life of an active city.
Soon the car passed an impos
ing building of artificial stone.
“This,” explained the hunters,
»ig the court house of Northen
County.” As the cars sped on
a beautiful park lay before them.
Over the large arch gate that led
into it was the sign, ‘‘Blue and
Gray Park.” Through the
park were spread fair gardens, a
tangle of shade trees and flowers
watered by a score of fountains
and made musical by lanumer
able birds. 2
Passing along the boulevards
ke could see here and there thro
the leafy trecs, beautiful dwell
ings with the outward appearance
of peace and plenty. Coming
toa little eminence where a bird’s
eye view of the city could be
taken, be saw dotted about the
city numerous domes and spires
reaching almost to the sky, and
giving the appearance of piety
and love these were the numer
erous churches of every denomi
nation.
The hunters now told the old
‘man that the two things which
were the pride of the citizens, re
mained yet to be seen.
- The visitors now noticed for
the first time, that a merry river
flowed thro the city, acd he
wondered how it care to be here.
He was told thatin the year of
1908 the courseof the Ocmulgee
river was changed and brought
thro the city in order that there
might be a complete sewerage
system. Small channels running
from all the streets, emptied in
to this river some distance below.
This sweet, merry river flowed
through the wain part of the
city with an abundance of water
which supplied the pool and
spouting fountains.
A few yards in front of them
through the crowded truaks of
trees was a huge gray structure
risiog up and lifiing its top
above the sea of foliage. As
they came nearer and stopped,
the stranger was charmed at the
sight of this marvelous piece of
architecture with its wmassive
artificial stone columns. As he
stood gazing with unspeakable
admiration, clear ringing voices
were heard and immediately
groups of merry children were
seea pouring out of the building
from the front, sides, and back,
and going off in every direction.
This he was told was the Great
Central Public School Building.
This school building said the
huaters, and the magnoificent
system sewerage you bave just
seen, are the wonder of a!l strang
ers and the I:fe and joy of all the
ci'izens. Now my friends I have
given you a glimpse of Fitzrer
ald as it will be in the near future.
If I have overdrawn the picture
time will correct It.
