A Story With a Moral,
A prominent New York banker
was dilating on the dangers of de
ceit. By way of illustration, he
told of a society woman who saw
in a jeweler’s window a collar of
pearls that she wanted. She in
quired the pnoe and was told $6,
000. She gave her check r or $3,
000, saying she. would send her
husband to see the pearls, but the
jeweler was to tell him they cost
only $8,000. The storekeeper was
familiar with that sort of game
agreed. The husband came to see
the pearls aud that evening told
bis wife he had bought them. His
wife delightedly asked if he had
brought home the oollar, where
upon he replied: "No, dear, I had
it sent to my mother. You know
it is her birthday tomorrow.”
Mrs. Martha Strickland,
Died at the home of her son, Al
derman R. E. Strickland, last
Friday at ITT o’clock a* m. of old
age. She had been gradually de
clining for sometime, and her
death created no surprise, though
it was unusually sad to those to
whom she was near and dear.
Mrs. Strickland was a member of
the Hebron Baptist church,
Clayton county, and was a Chris
tian who believed in doing things
for her Master. The following
children survive her: M. E.
Strickland of South Georgia; W.
W. Strickland of Hall county;
Mrs. M. A. Reed of South Geor
gia; Mrs. Lon B. Moore and Al
derman R. E. Strickland of this
city.
The funeral services were held
at the home of her son, 117 West
Broad street, at 8 o’clock Satur
day afternoon, conducted by Rev.
Lueien Roper, after which the
body was tenderly laid to rest in
Alta Vista cemetery.

she may not change her mind and
want to get on again.”

The Eccentric Depositor. .
H. A. Fuller, toastmaster at the
annual banquet of the Pennsyl
vania bankers’ convention in
Wilkesbarre, last month, introduc
ed with this story the banker who
responded to the toast, “Our De
positors,” declares the Philadel
phia Telegraph.
“A depositor in a neighboring
trust oompany is an eccentrio far
mer of middle age. This farmer,
though he is wealthy, overdrew his
aooount one day to the tune of
$500.
“Notification of the overdraft
was at once Bent to him.
“He replied:
“ ‘You tell me I have overdrawn
my account $500. Well, I know
it, so what is the necessity of both
ering me about it ? \^hy not trust
me as I do you ? Do I go to you
when I have money in your insti-
ution and shout ‘You have $500
of mine? Suoh statements are
superfluous either way.’”
The Tax Officers* Association,of
whioh Oolleotor Amos E. Fuller
and Reoeiver M. MoNeal are mem
bers, will meet in Atlanta Ootober
10th, the day President Roosevelt
visits the State Fair.
‘‘Make Hay While the Sun Shines.”
There is a lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may laBt but a daj and
he prepares for the Bhowers which are
so liable to follow. So it should be
with every household. Dysentery,
diarrhoea and colera morbus may at
tack some member of the home without
warning. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, whioh is the
best known medicine for these diseases,
should always be kept at hand, as im
mediate treatment is necessary, and
delay may prove fatal. For sale by J.
B. George, Druggist, Gainesville, Ga.
