Jackson, Miss., Dec. 6.—At a depth

One squadron’of the Twelfth United

woods was found by J. J. Singleton,
a farmer living west of College Park,
Thursday and h} brought.lt t6 the city-
to exhibit to his friends, it was
young'"lronwood,” or a variety of birch,
which showed a peculiar growth. A
limb had sprung from tho trunk and
then turned and grown In again, or at
least that Was the Impression of the
casual observer, A closer Inspection
showed that the growth must have
been that of two limbs from the trunk
which met and grew together. The
buds and the formation on the bark
show growth In opposite directions, but
there Is no mark at the Junction of the
two parts of the limb.
'Tve been In the woods all my life,
and I never saw anything like It,” says
Mr. Singleton, "and none of the'old
residents I’ve shown It to ever saw
such a growth."
FAIR WAS SUCCESS,
AS TICKETS SHOW
Returns are now being made to Sec
retary Frank Weldon of the state fair
by some of the smaller railroads of cou.
pon admission tickets sold with rail
road tickets during the late fair, and
they Indicate that the estimates of the
fair’s success were conservative.
Bo far none of the big trunk lines
with the exception of the Seaboard Air
Line have made any reports, but this
one lg gratifying. Some of the smaller
roads In the state have sent In re
turns and these and the Seaboard's re
port show that many people came to
Atlanta with atlmtsslon tickets to the
fair, but who never presented them at
the gate.
If the other roads Show reports a*
satisfactory, ths returns will Indicate
that the state fair of 1807 was even a
greater success financially than was
shown by ths'gate receipts.
Cotton Moving In Dsestur.
Special to Tbs Georgian.
Decatur, Ala. Dec, 0.—The past few
days have witnessed quite a marked
Improvement In the money conditions
In' Decatur. As a result, much cotton
Is now being bought here. For two
weeks but little cotton was bought
The farmers refused to take checks and
the cotton buyers were unahtc to get

Atlanta will receive approximately
550.000 more from business licenses, tax
defaulters and from wnter works re
ceipts this year than In 1906.
This Is In addition to the 5151.994.65
Increase In the t xes to be received, as
shown by tho report of the books In the
tax assessor's office and the report of
the comptroller general of the state fix
ing the valuation on tho property of the
public utility corporations In the city.
This 550,000 will bring the total In
crease In revenue from these four
sources up to more than 5200,000.
From the city marshal's office. It Is
learned that about 57,000 more will be
collected from defaulters, and from
those who returned their property for
taxation and than foiled to pay, than
was collected from the same sources
last year. In 1906, the total was about
5127,000.
In the water works department, the
books show that the Increase for the
first eleven months at this year over the
flrst'eleven months of last year la 525,
946.(6. The increase for the year will
opproxlmate 530,000.
The receipts for the first eleven
months of 1906 were 5264.021.78,
against 5289,968,44 .for, the first .eleven
months of 1907.
The books of City License Inspector
R. A. Ewing show [hat In city licenses
the Increase for the first eleven months
of 1907 is 511,311.08 over the first
eleven months of 1906. The total In
crease for the year will be approxi
mately 512,000.
The sum collected through Novem
ber, this year, was 5164,810.95, as
against 5142,999.85 for the same length
of time last year.
This Is for general business licenses,
and does not Include drays and hacks
and whisky licenses, which would make

three roads entering the terminal. He
then says:
"In order to leave nothing undone
for the general good, even though wn

with the superintendents of each line
any and a(J cases, where the Informa-
tloned furnished you Is false and mis
leading, when the dispatcher Is, or
should be, In possession of the true
figures so that they may prevent a
repetition of such a case.”
In his letter to Superintendent Cox,
Mr. Wlekersham says:
“I am sure that all of our people are
fully cognizant of the Importance of
the.matter, and the seriousness with
which a violation of Instructions to
post proper Information will bo dealt.
To make assurance doubly safe. I wish
you to acquaint our people with this
communication and see to It that they
do not ever fall to give the various
stations the latest and most-, accurate
Information as to the schedule of trains.
In case whore the train continues to
lose time, tho dispatcher should be par
ticularly careful to correct the infor
mation without delay."
Letters promising every possible fore

received from S. F. Parrott, vice presi-

When the Family Moves.
The moving van Is one of the common
sights of modern life; yet It stirs the Im
aginative mind profoundly. What undream
ed-of changes may follow In Its wake! Tho
moving which was designed merely ns a
measure of convenience, economy or add!-
‘ isl luxuries, rany represent a complete
nsformatlon of the family history. It
means new neighbors, new alliance*, new
environment, new wlvei and husband* for
children, and altogether a new set of life
Influences. We ahould give heed to moving.

Snomt left her Judean home because of
famine. Bhe went In search of bread, and
found a new destiny for heraelf. Her life
waa lifted entirely out of Its old grooves,
nnd fta future completely chnnged. With
her husband and two sona she crossed over
into Moab. There, Ip a heathen land, she
maintained a God-fearing home. When, In
course of time, her two aous married Moab

tragedy, love and sorrow. Rehlnd the Bi
ble's brief record of thla domestic drama In
breaklngly. 1 recall a somewhat similar
scene In the famine district In China, when
I saw two Chinese women walling over the
grave of what had evidently bean the eon of
one and tbe husband of tbe other. Tbe
lonely woman In our modern urban life.
Hitherto she has been almost wholly Ig
nored, or considered only In respect to her
grossest temptation.
There (■ a pathetic light thrown upon this
ancient Idyll by tho contemplation of thu
loneliness of the two women making their
way through the hot. dusty nnd fatiguing
pilgrimage to Bethlehem. It waa a Journey
In which the older woman llveil on the
strength of the younger. Hath had a pas

Naomi was nothing less than royal, ntid

was that she ahould become the mother of
kings.
For so Ruth was rewarded, thla being one
of the stories which has a reward at the
end. Ruth became the great-grandmother of
King David nnd thus the anoestrcaa of
“King David's Greater Son." The obvious
comment Is that the best blessings always

A final observation Is that this atory
