The following article, acccna med by a photograph of the boy question ^appeared in an issue the Atlanta Journal pf Mon- &v: V '. “For a 15-year-old boy to disap- ar in the heart of Atlanta, to be tas completely as though the th had opened and swallowed , seems almost an lmpossibil- , but such has happened and . and Mrs. W.

The family moved re from Gainesville Tuesday and arsday Willie secured a position Conklin’s. Early Friday morn - he left home, taking with him u nch to be eaten at noontime, pwent to the shoe store of J. M. on Marietta street, near •nklin’s, and talked. with Mr. about his new job. He af- a rd left his lunch there and led toward his work.

I don’t know what to do.’ “While relating this story the mother of the missing boy wept freely and appeared greatly dis tressed at the absence of her son. At the time of his disappearance young Robbins wore a black suit of clothes and a black slouch hat. He is 15 years old, rather large for his age, has dark hair and black eyes and weighs about 150 pounds.” The family is known in. this city, having recently moved to At lanta from here.

Bill at first thpught of returning to his Atlanta home, but lktet re considered his determination and notified his parents that he had not lost himself but was safe in his old haunts at Gainesville, where he thought he would con tinue his abode for some time.

Catarrh lias become , such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious Ilian a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system. Salves, washes anti sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because they d<J not reach the seat of th e trouble. S. S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases. . Mr. T. A.

She is Old Enough to be His “Aunt” and. He Wants to ^ f Shake Her Jtfdge Geo. H. Prior, who is pre siding this week in the Hall city court, was appealed to Monday by a very much perplexed mother and a badly frightened son, aetat 14, who wanted legal advice. The mother, whose name is Coker and who for some time past has been a tenant on the farm of Mr. Polk Thompson m Banks’county, pro duced a letter written on the offi cial paper of the ordinary of Banks county, which came to her here— where she has taken up her .resi dence-—citing; her to appear forth with in the Banks county court of ordinary, then and there to have and produce ; in propria person a her son Charlie, the before-men tioned 14-yeaT8-old lad, to show pause, if any either of them had, why said Charlie Coker should not be taught his duties and responsi bilities a9 a “married man.” Charlie is only a scrub of a boy, but be admitted that several weeks ago “the Thompson boys had in duced him, j ust for devilment,” to take upon himself marital obliga tions, the other party to the mat rimonial alliance being a woman old enough to be his mother. The “Thompson boys,” so he says, got the necessary license and he and the woman were “joined” by a local justice of * the peace. After the ceremony the mature bride went her way and the youthful groom returned to his mamma.. Charlie declares that he “didn’t know they were really married,” and the citation from the ordinary to step up to the captain’s office and settle for the hit of “devil ment” has pretty badly frightened him. Judge Prior turned mother and son over- to Col, W- S. Pickerpll, and after examining . the Banks county ordinary’s “habeas Corpus” he informed Mrs. Coker that, as she bad received it by mail, it was no legal service and that she should therefore give the matter no heed. He further advised her;’ however, that in order to escape future an noyance and the possible legal service of such a writ, to employ a member of the Banks County bar fend institute proceedings in di vorce to have the unnatural mar riage tie dissolved. OLDEST. OF BIBLES. The oldest Bible in America today is to be found among a num- her of ancient relics at Tallulah Falls. It was printed at Basel, Switzerland, in Latin by Nicholas Kellers more than a year before the discovery of the new world. The monks of the monastery of La Rediba, where Columbus left his son when he left on the voyage which resulted in the discovery, illumined by hand in many col ors the capital letters used in the printed text. Upon his second voyage Columbus brought the vol ume with him, inscribing upon the first page the following: “Iq this direction alone will we seek,” accompanying the words with a drawing of three ships and a com pass pointing toward ,the west. In the collection is another very interesting book—a native Chinese Bible used by the converts during the seige of the foreign legations at‘Pekin. A third curiosity is a Boer Bible, as used by General Cronje in the Transvaal war, and secured through direct correspond- Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat. ence with this old warrior while he was at St. Helena.
