fltrald and JWwrtlser. 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litigation involving the title to soma valuable property in that eity has been setted in '.heir favor and the suit withdrawn, leaving them in full pos session of the property.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.

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. Hew He Got Evsa.

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.

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. The average wife spends fully two- thirds of her time in worrying about wnat to get for the next meal. Tbe woman who knows her husband like a book, u not necessarily satisfied with the knowledge she has acquired. 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.
