The tichest woman in the
world committed matrimony
last week. Her name was
Miss Frauleiu Krupp, and is
worth several hundred mill

On account os the d.unag
aged condition of the cottf”'
seed crop, the cow that eats
meal and hulls this winter will
hate to get a move on herseb
if she pays for her feed.
While the wet weather i
combined with the early frost
cut the cotton crop to a con
siderable extent, they were
the cause of the fleecy staple
bringing a better price. Al¬
most any kind of cotton is
worth eleven cents with a
fair chance of a steady ad -
vanee.
Rev. Sam Jones is dead
ant) there is no one to take
his place. His inimitable way
of doing things is beyond any
other man’s power. He did
a great deal of good—brought
more men to see the folly of
their ways—done more lor
suffering humanity than any
other man who claimed Geor¬
gia as his home, lie is gone
and the world weeps.
Thehk are a few places be
tween Spring Place and Tread
well’s .ipill, on the Dalton
road, that are in a very bad
condition, and if they are not
fixed before winter weather
sets in they are going to give
people trouble. A few dol
lars invested in gravel for
these places would make
them everlastingly good,
while if they are let alone they
will be impassable.

the “Mother of the Confeder¬

York Tuesday. Her death
casts a gloom over the entire#
Southland, the land she loved
so well. No words can ex¬
press the sorrow the old con¬
federate soldiers feel over the
death of this illustrious wo
man. She is gone, after a
life of usefulness, to join the
hosts on the other side, where
some day the old veterans

Danger From the Plaeue.
There’s grave danger from the
plague of Coughs and Golds that
are so prevalent, unless you take
Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Goughs and Golds.

people living in climates where
coughs and colds prevail. I find
it quickly ends them. It pre¬

Dabbs Family Takes Second
Train Ride of Lifetime
With a family Bible in one
arm and a, wicker basket on the
other, Mrs. Ezekiel Dabbs, until
recently of 085 East Fair street,
Atlanta, followed by her hus¬
band, Ezekiel Dabbs, and thir¬
teen little hungry-faced dabs of
c luntry wedded life, crowded
into the union depot shortly be¬
fore 8 o’clock Saturday morning
to take the second railway ride
of their whole lives. The family
were returning to their mountain
farm near Bon Air, Tenn...whence
they had been lured to Atlanta
some three months ago by an
employment bureau agent who,
they declare, was the beginning
of all their trouble.
When Mr. Dabbs was asked
Saturday morning as to the rea
s m for his exodus, Mrs. Dabbs
waved him back and did the
talking.
"We were getting along a!I
right,” die said, "had plenty to
eat and warm beds to sleep in,
when that nasty stranger drove
up one morning just after break
fast and began to tell Zeke how
much money he could make
working in the factories. 1 didn’t
want to come, but Zeke kept
whining and whining, and after
while 1 said all right, just to
keep peace. I knew then what
was ahead of us.”

There is a standing committee of
tiie house on contested election,
and the McIntosh controversy
will doubtless be referred to this
body for consideration and report.
The outcome of the contest will
be watched with interest Titrough
out t he state.
The family gold its mule and
hugs — they vvefe renting the
farm—and landed in Atlanta a
week later. The first day aftei
their arrival Willie Smith Dabbs,
1 years old, was lust on White¬
hall street, and never found his
way hack home until the rest of
the faintly were almost lost itt
hunting for him. Then little
Carrie Dabbs, caught scarlet fe¬
ver and gave* it to four others of
the Dabbs. Instead of the heavy -
flow of wealth the'father expect¬
ed, the weekly income proved
insnffl dent to keep the thirteen
clamoring stomachs half satisfied,
sand each day made Ezekiel lone¬
some r and lonesomer for his stock
and poultry.
Just as the family was on the
brink of despair they were dis
covered by the Associated Cnart
tie#. This organization decided
! that so far at least as the Dabbs
j were concerned, present day im
i migration front the country to
j the city was a social evil. Tick
jets to Bon Air were accordingly
secured for them and hack they
went Saturday morning,
"I hope I’ll never hear a train
whistle again,” said the father,
as he got aboard, and all the lit¬

skirts as if they agreed with him
