H. A. MANNING.
H. A. Manning, for several years past
president of the Cleveland-Manning Pi
ano Company and one of the best
known piano men in the South, has re
signed as preside n; of the company and
disposed of his interest.
This announcement was made by Mr.
Manning after he had completed his
negotiations. He severs his connection
to carry out other plans upon which he
has been working and which will be an
nounced in the near future. Mr. Man
ning is not only a capable piano man,
but also an adversiting expert. As a re
sult of this combination he has been
very successful.
C. H. Dayton, of Chicago, who is sing
ing at the Montgomery, recently up
set the scientific world by announcing
the presence of a double set of vocal
c P r » s . in his throat. He consulted spe
cialists and was consulted by them. Re
cently. before a large gathering of physi
cians and surgeons, it was found bav
ton possessed two separate and distinct
sets of vocal cords He made the trial,
finding his soprano to be the same dulcet,
liquid voice of his boyhood. It had lost
none 01 Its softness, sweetness or quality
of sympathy. He found, too, that his bass
was of much the same quality—rich, reso
nant, full. A further surprise was in
store lor him, however. After several
weeks, Dayton found himself drifting into
tenor.
THREE WOMEN AREDEAD

SPOKANE, WASH., De.'. 16.—Miss
Jennie Ross, who, witli Mrs. Ralph
Scott and Mrs. William B. Rost, par
took of a bottle of liquor which Mrs.
Ross had procured by sending a mes
senger boy to a saloon, is dead here,
making a list of three deaths from a
cause that so far has baffled the au
thorities. Mrs. Rost died first and then
Mrs. Scott died. An autopsy on the
body of Mrs. Rost revealed no cause
of death, and the coroner has decided to
send the contents of the stomach to
the state chemist at Pullman, Wash.,

Better News of
Small Oriental Rugs
Than We Have Been Privileged To Tell In Some Time
Fortune has favored us and you.
Our Oriental Rug Buyer is just returned from New
York, where he bought from one of the great importers
of fine Oriental Rugs as fine a collection of small pieces
as ever came to Atlanta--and bought them at most ad
vantageous prices, perhaps due to the troubled state of
affairs in the rug countries of the East.
Each rug is a selected piece—rich, colorful, beau
ful, exquisite as Oriental Rugs are.
Priced From $ 15.00 to $35.00
And at these prices they are truly remarkable
val ues.
We consider it a very happy occasion to have these
here in time for Christmas-giving. For they are in all
sizes, and at prices that most people would want for
gifts, and they certainly measure up in beauty of color
ing and pattern, in fineness of weave, to anyone’s high
ideas of Oriental Rugs.

SEARCHERS SEEK
MISSING INVALID
Aged Ohio Man Mysteriously
Disappears in Hills of Hab
ersham County.
CLARKESVILLE. GA., Dec. 16
Searching parties today are scouring
the hill country of Habersham county
around Clarkesville and Demorest for
Crare Heskitt, an aged Ohio man, who
mysteriously disappeared several days
ago. within three hours after he had
arrived at the home of D. H. Heskitt,
his brother, near Demorest. D. H. Hes
kitt, a prominent fruit grower of this
section, has offered a reward of $25 foi
the return of his brother or informa
tion as to his whereabouts. Crare Hes
kitt is 56 years old and has been in
feeble health. It is feared he wandered
away while under a mental delusion.
The missing man was brought South
by another brother in hope that the
change of climate and environment
would be beneficial. It is said that he
has at times shown signs of dementia.
While on a train en route from Ohio the
brothers iieard two other passengers
discussing the escape of a prisoner and
a reward of $25 offered for his capture.
This, it Is said, preyed upon the in
valid's mind until he became imbued
with the delusion that he was the fugi
tive. This is believed to be responsible
for his sudden and mysterious disap
pearance after reaching Demorest.
The only clew thus far obtained as to
his whereabouts came from J. P. Wil
son, a farmer, living near the Heskitt
orchards, who saw a strange man walk
ing in a field on his farm. The de
scription of this man tallies consider
ably with that of the one for whom
search is now being made.

SLAYING CHARGE LAID
TO A SEWING CIRCLE
LOUISVILLE, KT., Dec. 16.—That
the gossip of a church sewing circle
was responsible for rumors that caused
her to be accused of having poisoned
her husband when he died suddenly was
the claim put forth by Mrs. Lucy Grif
fith when she testified at. her trial on
the charge of the murder of her hus
band, Ed Griffith, a wealthy merchant,
by putting strychnine in brandy. Mrs.
Griffith, a pretty young woman, af
