"Rig Roy," who had pulled the big truck tor nearly three years, fell and broke his leg in the stable yard at West End. An examination by th* veterinary surgeon showed that his case was hopeless and a few minutes later a kindly shot put an end to his suffering. "Big Roy" was regarded as one of th* most valuable horses in the serv ice. He had been slightly . latpr for a week and had been sent out to the -table to •recuperate; Th*nin'nsnal rest made him feel like prancing and•ca vorting over the yard. Suddenly as he turned hl? feet -went out from under him and he fell with a crash. "Red" and "Jess,” the other two of th* three who have pulled with "Rig Roy," stand as subdued in their stalls as if they realized that their mate never again would dash with them over the rough streets.

The telegram, Nichols says, was as follows: "Things do not -look good.

COMPTROLLER TO BE GIVEN PRIVILEGE OF A HALF PAY PENSION Legislation agreed upon at a private caucus of the leaders of council will give Comptroller J. H. Goldsmith the privilege to retire on a pension of half pay, but will disbar three-fourths of the city officials now eligijfc for pen sions. The changes, which undoubtedly will be adopted, are that an official must have served thirty years instead of twenty continuously in the city's serv ice; that he must be 65 instead of 60 years old, and that when an official has served 35 years, the last ten at a salary of as much as $l5O per month, he has the right to retire on half pay. The last provision applies only to Comptroller Goldsmith. ’The caticus did not accept the amend ment. urged by some, that the council should have the right to retire any of ficial on a pension,- even against his will. Officials are to be retired only on their own application. $4,000 FIRE AT MARIETTA. MARIETTA, GA., July 17.—-Fire de stroyed the handsome two-story resi dence occupied b\ H. C.

Formerly she had gone away for several weeks each summer and had enjoyed those several weeks immensely, only to return to the city and find that hot weather lasts more than 4 few weeks. So this year she planned differently—planned for comfort able living during the whole long summer season. She made of her porch an at tractive little summer home, where she could sew and read and receive her friends .and ENJOY living. In this connection we wish to empha size the superiority of Crex Furniture. It is ideal, combining the strength that war rants long service and graceful, artistic lines. It may be had in a green finish pr in a soft brown finish. And this brown finish recommends itself as much for liv ing rooms as it does for porches. There are Crex rockers, chairs, settees, tables and swings. Also, we are glad to announce the arrival of more of those remarkable rock maple rockers and chairs at $2.50. They have rattan seats and backs. The swing that we sell for $5.00 is per haps the best value that we have ever shown. It is of oak, with shaped seat, stained in forest green. We will hang it for you free of charge. Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Co. NEW GRIFFIN RESERVOIR.
