FUN IN THE NINTH.
“The race for congress in the
ninth district promises to be un-
usally interesting,” said a promi
nent politician yesterday while
loitering among his friends in the
Kimball lobby.
“The entry of Dr. Watkins from
Gilmer against Carter Tate will
make a third candidate almost a
certainty, and he will probably be
from one of the three big counties
of the district—Hall, Jackson, or
Gwinnett—and i t is said he will
have-some assurance of carrying
all three of them. Dr. Watkm’s
friends say he is sure to carry some
of Carter Tate’s mountain coun
ties. And I believe this will give
a man from our side of the dis
trict a fighting chance to come in
and carry off the plum.”—Atlan

ANOTHER SNOW
For the third time this fall snow
fell here Tuesday afternoon. It
only lasted an hour, and had not
the ground been frozen, it would
have soon disappeared. It is
quite unusal for three different

Christmas. The weather man
says this December is the most
severe of any in many years.
