Tie- Atlanta negp> is going to have his I'hristmas chicken, even if he has to buy it. but buying is his last resort." That's the advice the county police are giving suburban residents as Christ mas approaches. Even as watermelon on the Fourth, of July or as fried fish in the springtime is the smell of chick en gravy at Christmas to the colored contingent. Chicken fanciers who have lost whole coops of prize-winning birds in other pre-holiday seasons are sit ting up with shotguns between their knees. For several years there has nourished in Atlanta and its environs a eilicken fancier known to sheriff and police as Pesky Pope. Pesky is a chicken con noisseur. He can tell a Hun' Orpington cockerel from a barred Wyandotte the minute he tightens his grip around their legs, and he can shut both eyes and distinguish between a Brahma and an Indian Game the instant he sinks his teeth in the drumstick. Some Chicken Eater! Pesky is accustomed to chicken three times a day in the intervals when lie is not sojourning in the stockade, and is known far and wide as a more danger ous pest than the roup, pip and all other chicken epidemics combined. Dating lite last chicken show at the Auditorium. Pesky coaxed a ticket from some one and roamed up and down tile aisles like a cat outside a canary cage, his mouth watering for prize chicken. "That languid colored gentleman, there by the bantam coop, holds the distini tion of having oaten the highest priced meal ever served in Atlanta.” said one of the show directors, point ing out Pesky to a. group of visitors. "New York’s lobster palaces are pikers beside him. Pesky’s $950 Breakfast. "It was just after the first chicken show given in Atlanta. All the prize birds hail been loaded into wagons, ready for the express office, when that negro happened along and took a look. He climbed .aboard a wagon, persuaded the driver to have a ’nigh-beer' or two with him, and finally drove the load of THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.MOM>AY. DECEMBER 9. 1912. chickens into Darktown, chose about a dozen tine young fowls and disappeared. "Next tmorning the police found chicken feathers outside his door and tile remnants of a chicken breakfast on his table. Pesky and ids friends had devoured $9.50 worth of chicken, ac cording to prices offered and refused by the owners. How's timt for one break fast ? "<'ome over here, Pesky.” he called.' The dusty fancier approached, grin-j ning. The Way To Raise Chickens. "Pesky, they tell me you are the best chick* n raiser in Atlanta,” said the di rector. "Tell us how you do it.” "Well, sub,’’ explained Pesky, "De bes’ way to raise chickens is to get a nice wide plank and a tallow candle. When de nights are chilly de chickens’ feet gits cold on de roostses. You slip under de roost and light de candle and warm de end of the plank. Den you slip de plank up in front ob de chicken and touch him on de toes and he’ll step off on it, glad to git his feet warm. Den you let him down easy and put Idm in de sack. Dat’s de bes' way.” A look over the police records shows that Pesky Pope is now at liberty. Warning is therefore issued to all chicken owners to buy a bulldog or take their chickens inside the house. ATLANTA SUFFRAGE WORKERS TO REJOICE OVER GAINS OF CAUSE Atlanta suffragists will hold a love feast and rally of rejoicing Wednesday after noon at 3 o’clock in the Carnegie library, when the recent victories of the votes for women campaign in four states will be celebrated.

McLendon, president of the Georgia Woman Suffrage association, has just returned from the fortieth conven tion of the national organization, and will be one. of the speakers at the rally. Mrs. William H. Felton, of Cartersville, whose active work at an age when most women are in an invalid chair has made her famous; Mrs. Rose Ashby and several others will deliver addresses. The meet ings will be open to the general public. J.M.HIOH COMWY. | PLANS FOR SIOO,OOO CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH COMPLETE Plans are complete for the new Chris tian Science church to be erected at the northeast corm r of Peachtree and Peachtree circle, and the congregation will ask at once for contractors’ bids. The church will cost something near SIOO,OOO and it is expected that work on it will be started not late: than early spring. The lot is fan-shaped and fronts on both P. ai bt. and Peachtree circle. It ' was bought several years tigo for $16.- j 000, and the church lias refused various I offers up to $30.000. The lot is held to 'be worth $.50,000 or $60,000. The church will be built after the fashion of the Baker Street church, now headquarters of the Atlanta Women's club. with colonial pillars and a dome. Its seating capacity will be nearly 1,000. Edward E. Dougherty Is the architect. Local Christian Scientists started their meetings in halls and later had rooms in the Grand building, then the Bake Street church, and still later leased the present quarters on North Broad street, near Peachtree.

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will quickly cure a cold and greatly lessen the danger of contract ing these diseases. This remedy is famous for its cures of colds.

OWEN. Frank Wynne, one of the most popu lar young men in Atlanta, has been elected secretary of the Order of Bees by the board of governors, succeeding B. B. Owen. The position held by Mr. Owen was that of secretary and manager. The two offices were separated, Mr. Wynne being elected secretary and Theodore Fichter manager. This change in officers of the Order of Bees is a very acceptable one to the 750 members of the order, as both Mr. Wynne and Mr. Fichter are very popu lar with the membership. (Advt.) ANDREW CARNEGIE WEARING EMBLEM OF ATLANTA SCOTS Andrew Carnegie, foremost Scotch- American. today wears the button of tile Atlanta Scottish association. When the association was organized the Laird of Skibo was elected its first honorary member, and at a meeting of the At lanta Scots Friday night a message was received from him saying he was wear ing their button proudly. The buttons of the association are of heavy gold and are emblematic of Scotland's, achievements in literature, song and deeds of arms. At the meeting Friday the resigna tion of W. S. Richardson as secretary was received and W. A. Sommerville was chosen to fill the vacancy. Advice to Those Who Have Lun? Trouble Tuberculosis is said to be curable by simply- living in the open air and taking an abundance of fresh eggs and milk. Do all you possibly can to add to strength and increase weight; eat whole some, nourishing food, and breathe the cleanest and purest air. and then, if health and strength do not retnrn, add | the tonic and beneficial effects of Eck- I man’s Alterative. Read what It did in i this case: 405 East Fifth St., Wilmington, Del. "Gentlemen: In January. 1908. I was I taken with hemorrhages of the lungs. My physician, one of the leading practition ers. said that it was lung trouble. I took eggs and milk in quantities, but I got very weak. The doctors said I would not gain in weight as long as 1 stayed in the store; but I kept on working and prayed each day that I might get well. I believe my prayers were answered, for Mr. A Lippincott, my employer (Lip pincott & Co., department store, 306 to 314 Market street, Wilmington, Del.) had learned of a remedy called Eckman's Al terative that had done great gqod, and upon his recommendation I began taking it at once. This was about June, 1908. I continued faithfully, using no other rem edy. and finally noticed the clearing of the lungs. 1 firmly believe Eckman's Al terative saved my life. I sent my spittle later to the state board of health to be examined for tuberculosis bacilli, and none were found. My mother died from consumption when I was about two years old. "I make this statement so that others may learn of the wonderful merits of Eckman’s Alterative. I regard my re covery- as being miraculous.” (Sworn affidavit) JAS. SQUIRES. Eckman's Alterative is effective In bron chitis, asthma, hay fever, throat and lung troubles and in upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisons, opiates or hab it-forming drugs. For sale by- all of Jacobs’ drug stores and other leading druggists. Ask for booklet telling of re coveries and write to Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence. (Advt.)
