Mr. Watson has faith in Geor
gia land, and it is said to be his
ambition to own McDuffie county,
if money can buy it. He has spent
$50,000 buying lands during the
past two years.

that Mr. Watson expects to quit
Hio law business as soon as he gets
through with his present legal en
gagements, but I have positive
proof that he has other big cases
in hand and is listed with the at-
tornies for two or three years

Mr. Watson is easily disturbed,
and some time ago one of the
neighbor’s children owned a noisy
little flee dog, which was eternally
interrupting him during his writ
ing hours. Finally, one day, the
literateur-lawyer, driven to the
last stage of endurance, dashed his
pen aside, walked out of his study
and over to where the lad who

daughters, and it was on his death
bed that he handed the money to
his old-time friend, Colonel W, Sv
Eden, proprietor of the Gre&fc

ately delivered by Mr. Eden to
Miss Dikemau, but the matter did
not become public. It was known
that Miss Dikemau was to have
married Mr. Bibber, and, in fact,
hastened to Mercy hospital during
his illness that the ceremcny
might be performed before he
passed away. When at last she
arrived, accompanied by Mr. Eden
and a clergyman, Mr. Bipper was
dead. Miss Dikeman, who -is 35
years of age, was the niece of Mrs.
