NEW N AN FRIDAY, DEC. 31.
I mp0i / iant Litigation Settled.
T»e miller Newrmn friends of Hon.
Lavender Hf. Hay and wife, of Atlanta,
are much justified to learn that a long-
pending: litigation involving the title to
soma valuable property in that eity has
been setted in '.heir favor and the suit
withdrawn, leaving them in full pos
session of the property. Since tho set
tlement we understand that 450 feet on
Fourteenth street has been sold for
$20,500 cash, which gives a fair idea of
the value of the property lately in dis
pute. Speaking of the termination of
this famous litigation the Atlanta Con
stitution of Friday last says—
“The litigation which has been pend
ing for several years between Clifford
L. Anderson, as administrator of
Btnma C. Pease on one side, and Lav
«ider R. Ray and his wife, Mrs. Annie
Felder Ray. on the other side, was yes
terday Bettled to the satisfaction of all
parties, Mrs. Ray paying $19,610.32 in
oasb and getting a clear title to land
lying on West Peachtree and Four
teenth streets, which is said to be
worth $70,000. This land fronts West
Peachtree street 650 feet, Thirteenth
street 672 feet r- 1 Fourteenth street
1,144 feet. Dutfng the litigation this
case has been to the Supreme Court
several times, and is now pending in
the Court of Appeals. The cuse will
now be withdrawn."

Death of Mrs. Jas. Stacy.
After a wasting illness of many
months Mrs. Jas. Stacy breathed her
last at an early hour Wednesday morn
ing. Mews of the death of this saintly
woman cast a deep gloom over the
community, for she was universally be
loved — not only in Newnan, where
most of her life had been spent, but
wherever she was known. She had
been an invalid for several years, and
for two or three years prior to her
death was bedridden, yet through all
the weary months of suffering she
bore her afflictions with rare fortitude.
She .died as she had lived—honored,
trusted and loved. She reared her own
monument in the hearts of all who
knew her. Her life was completed, if
work well done constitutes comple
tion. From its beginning to its close
- her Christian life was beautiful, and
through all the sorrows and vicissi
tudes that shadowed her pathway her
faith in .God never wavered. To-day
the grave hideB from our sight all that
is mortal of a true and noble woman.
Mra. Stacy was 72 years of age.
She is survived by her aged husband,
who is himself bowed down by a se
rious affliction, rendered doubly sad
by this great sorrow which has
come to darken the few remaining
years of his life. Other relatives are
left to mourn her death also, all of
whom have the heartfelt sympathy of
the community in their bereavement.
The funeral took place yesterday af
ternoon at 2 o’clock, from the Pres
byterian church, services being con
ducted by Rev. J. E. Hannah, assisted
by all the ministers of tbe city.

Success Magazine,
A traveling man who stutters spent
all the afternoon in trying to sell a
grouchy business man a bill of goods,
and was not very successful.
As the salesman was locking up his
grip the grouch was impolite enough to
observe in the presence of his clerks:
“You must find that impediment in
your speech very inconvenient."
“Oh, n-no," replied the salesman.
"Everyone has his p-poculiarity. S-
S-stammering is mine. What’s
y-youra?"
,“I am not aware that I have any,”
repftpd the merchant.
"D-a&P.you stir y-your coffee with
your ri-:right hand?’’ asked the sales
man.
“Why, yes. of course,” replied the
merchant.
"W-Well,” went on the salesman,

“Dear.” said t-he tremblingly, as she
nestled against him on tne first night
of their honeymoon, ‘‘I nave a secret
to tell you.”
’’What is it?” he hissed, tragically.
“Can y«u ever forgive me for deceiv

“Oh,” he murumed, with a sigh of
relief; "don’t sav any more, dearest ;

Opportunity of the Southern Fanner.
Mo con News.
The South is singing hallelujahs over
14 cents cotton, and Europe and New
England are assuming horrified expres
sions at the enormity of it; and yet,
compared with the reigning scale of
high prices for everything, 14 and 15
cents for cotton is not more than fairly
and consistently remunerative returns
for the Southern farmer’s great and in
dispensable staple.
But here is a point that the farmer
should ponder long and deeply, that he
is getting 14 cents for his cotton this
year not because, with wheat selling at
$1.25 a bushel and beef and hog meat
retailing in the markets at 20 to 30
cents a pound, 14 cents is but a fair
price, but because in the providence of
God and through the ravages of the boll
weevil and the elements the growing
cotton was damaged in the fields and
the yield was cut down from a possibl e
crop of twelvo and a half million bales
to little over ten million bales. He
He should consider the fact that al
though the Western fanners produced
this season more com and wheat than
ever before, they are getting higher
prices for these grains than ever before,
while if the Southern farmer had har
vested to the full the crop of cotton for
which he planted he would in all prob
ability have received only 8 or 9 cents
a pound for it. It is estimated that
this season’s short crop of cotton
will cost the consuming world upwards
of one thousand million dollars, more
money than was received before any
cotton crop in the history of the South. >
Now, it is the plain, demonstrated
fact that a short cotton crop means
wealth and prosperity for the South.
Let the Southern people ponder the
significance of this remarkable and un
heard of situation. To every other set
or class of people in the world it is giv
en to reap in accordance as they have
sown. To the cotton farmers alone it
is given to double their money yield by
halving their crop. To them alone it is
permitted to profit in inverse proportion
to their efforts and output.
Is this not a remarkable advantage
to be conferred on a class of people—
but what shall we think of people who,
being possessed of such an advantage,
either cannot or will not make use of
it?
Far be it from The Macon News to
advocate the Southern farmers resort
ing to anything immoral, such as trust
or the unnecessary curtailing of produc
tion in order to roll in wealth at the ex
pense of the needs of tho rest of the
world; but the Southern farmer owes
it to himself to diversify his crops, to
return to the methods of an earlier
time when the farm was self-sustaining,
when the farmer raised all his food
stuffs on his own land and made his own
beef and hogs. For, after all, there is
not much profit in cotton even at pre
sent prices if the cotton farmer has to
buy his com and flour and meat at
prevailing prices.
But consider for a moment what
would be the result if the Southern
farmers should all adopt the policy of
making enough corn and wheat and
hogs to supply all their needs, and,
after this proper provision was made
for their actual wants, then gave their
attention to cotton as a side issue or a
surplus money crop.
It is a situation and an opportunity
without parallel or precedent in the
history of the world, and perhaps no
people except our own Southern farmers
would so long have delayed to take ad
vantage of it.
Toward the close of a recent lawsuit
in Massachusetts, the wife of an emi
nent Harvard professor arose and with
a flaming face timidly addressed the
court.
“Your honor, “said she, “if I had told
you I had made an error in my testimo
ny, would it vitiate all I had said?”
Instantly the lawyers for each side
stirred themselves in excitement, while
his honor gravely regarded her.
“Well, madam,” said the court after
a pause, “that depends entirely on the
nature of your error. What was it,
please?”
“Why, you see,” answered the lady,
more and more red and embarrassed,
“I told the clerk I was 38. I was so
flustered, you know, that when he asked
my age I inadvertently gave him my
bust measurement.”
"My lazy son has at last decided on
a profession that he thinks he’ll like.”
“Good. What has he chosen?”
“He wants to be a lineman for a
wireless telegraph company.”
It must take a pretty good guesser
to be a prescriptioh clerk in a drug
store—judging from the handwriting of
the average physician.
There are two kinds of women’s good
figures—those that dressmakers build
with clothes and those that artists build
without any.
From tho way a man brags around
about bow he put a hook in the clothes
closet you could think it was a flying
machine he built.
Some people are so formal that they
even hesitate when it comes to bowing
to the inevitable without an introduc
tion.

thirds of her time in worrying about

Bui--Hodnett.
One of the most beautiful events of
the season was the marriage of MiRs
Vera C. Bass and Mr. James P. Hod
nett, which took place Wednesday af
ternoon at 8 o’clock at tho beautiful
home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. C. K. Bass, of Hogansville.
The house was beautifully decornted
with Southern smilax. ferns and potted
plants, all the decorations carrying out
the color scheme of green and white.
Mr. John Frank Bass and Miss Ella
Jones received the guests. In the par
lor, where the ceremony was perform
ed, the mantel was banked with ferns
and the walls were festooned with trail
ing vines. A* pyramid of palms and
ferns, over which hung an arch of smilax
with three white bells, formed the back
ground for the bridal party. Just be
fore the ceremony a beautiful solo was
rendered by Miss Waters, of Atlanta.
Then Mr. James G. Wardwell, of North
Dakota, sang a selection. The little
ribbon-bearers, Sara Jones, (niece of
the bride,) and Martha Hodnett, (sister
of the groom,) entered first, wearing
white lingerie dresses and white rib
bons. Next came Mr. James P. Hod
nett with his best man, Mr. Will J.
Hodnett, of Atlanta. Miss Jimmie
Bass, sister of the bride, was maid of
honor, wearing a cream cloth dress and
carrying white carnations and ferns.
The bride entered with her father, car
rying brideB roBes and ferns. Rev. A.
B. Whatley read the impressive ring
ceremony which made the young couple
husband and wife. Delightful fruit-
punch was served by Miss Nellie Pon
der.
The bride’s going-away gown was of
green cloth, with black beaver hat and
a large willow plume.
They left on the 6 p. m, train for
Florida. After Jan. 1 they will be at
home in Montgomery, Ala.
The presents were exceptionally hand
some, attesting the popularity of both
bride and groom.
The out-of-town guests were Miss
Irene Cloclough of Penfield, Mias Annie
Matthews and Mr. Elmo Mann of Gay,
Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Sirps and Miss Beu
lah Warner of West Point, Miss Addie
Young of Newnan, Mr. L. E DeLoach,
