a horn, some two inches in

a curiosity. Nothing like it

Stolen Goods Found
Mr. Chick discovered some pack
a ^ es »“<l«n.oath a cotton seed
house last Mondav morning and
came to town and notified Deputy
.Marshal Bishop. Together they
returned to the house and secured
the packages which proved to be
two or three new coats and a pair
of shoes. The coats were identifi¬
ed as bPonging to Hewlett, Rea¬
gan & Downs and the shoes weie
from the stock of Street & Huff.
Neither of these firms have any
idea as to how t lie goods were se¬
cured from their stores, but it is
evident that some thief got in his
work successfully. Why these ar¬
ticles were left under the cotton
seed house, exposed to view is
k "°"' n “ 1,l 5 r to p° one who left
them them there. there. Fear of detection
perhaps had something to do with
it.
Happy Birthday Dipper.
Mrs. Elias Wooley was 71 years
of age last Saturday and the event
was celebrated by a birthday din¬
ner at her homo near Conyers.
Preparations had been made for
this day and it will be long re¬
membered by the good lady in
whose honor ic was given and by
the G 4 other relatives and friends
whose good fortune it was to be
present and witness the happiness
of the aged lady as she was sur¬
rounded by her children, grand¬
children, great-grand children,and
friends, in celebration of the close
of 71 years of her life and the en¬
trance upon the 72 nd.
This good woman, like all peo¬
ple of .this age in this country,lias
passed through many trials and it
is fitting that the closing years of
her life be filled with all the pleas¬
ures that peace and plenty and the
devoti m of children and friends
can bring. The pleasures of this
day no doubt compensated for sor¬
rows and trials innumerable in the
past and brought 1... Dus aged
heart the sweet assurance that a
life of sacrifice and devotion is not
always forgot by those we love
when age creeps upon us, and that
an even greater reward awaits us
in the hereafter.
This family gathering on this
birthday occasion feasted on many
good things and enjoyed them
well.
When the day was drawing to a
close, those present began to take
their leave, wishing for till aged
mother and friend many happy
returns of her birthday.
We appreciate the kind words
spoken of the Weekly Banker.
They have a tendency to cheer us
on our way, but will you stop long
enough to think that it requires
something more substantial than
“kind expressions” to publish a
paper? If you have never tried
it, let 'is assure you that dollars
alone can keep it going. Kind
words help, but a dollar down for
12 months subscription is worth a
basket full of compliments when
it conioS to paying off the “devil”
and buying bread for the little
on< s. Pay for your paper and
tell us all the news, if you wish to
please us most.
Cotton has begun to open. We
