Where Some Former
Atlantans Are Now.
“I've been wondering.” said a for
mer Atlantan, who is in town on a
visit, “where all the young fellows
that I used to know here have gone.
I feel sort of lonesome; don’t seem
to know many folks here now, al
though before I left to take a job out
. in Los Angeles I used to be on speak-
I ing terms with a whole lot of peo-
* pie.”
Then he called the names of some
of those he wanted to hear about and
hjs companion—they were at one of
the clubs—gave him this information:
“Jakie" Harris, who used to repre
sent Uncle Remus' Magazine as an
advertising solicitor, is the editor and
proprietor of a paper. The Loudoun
* Mirror, published at Leesburg, Va.
His name, appearing at the mast
head of the paper, reads: Joel C.
Harris.
“Bob" Dean, creator of the “Zot-
wots” and . other art fancies, is in
New York, where he is connected with
the art department of one of the big
papers: Don Marquis .is in charge of
a feature department on The Even
ing Sun in New York; George Mc
Daniel, the singer, is on the Pacific
Coast; Heber McDonald, press agent
and advertising man, is in the theat
rical business in New York; Tilden
Adamson, former journalist, has an
important position in the comp
troller's office in New York; Grattan
Colvin is connected with a big law
office in New.York; Tristram Tupper
has established a law office of his
own in New York, and Marshall
Lane is connected with an advertis
ing agency in Cleveland, Ohio.
‘'Well," said the former Atlantan
when he had absorbed all this in
formation, "it beats me how those
fellows scatter about the country.
But I guess I needn’t say a word. I’m
in the same boat.”
New Crop of-Fishing
Stories Is About Due.
• “I'll • bet." said the business man,
"that stores in Atlanta which sel!
fishing tackle are doing a great trade
at the present' time. I’ve seen more
people 'going fishing' in the last feu-
days than I ever saw before. It looks
to me that every fellow who can get
off for a day and who can find a rod,
line, hook and sinker is hiking out to
'l river, creek or lake for the sole pur
pose of landing a minnow or two.
j "A fellow passed my place of h :si-
t ness yesterday and he had a fishing
i pdie about fifteen feet long. And, be
lieve me, he was having some trouble
navigating with that pole. It was so
long it was constantly getting (angled
up in signs along the sidewalk, and
when he wanted to get on a street car
the conductor said he'd have to leave
the stick. Well, you know he'd have
\ left his head in preference to desert-
*’ ing that precious fishing pole, so the
last I saw of him he was beating it
up Peachtree Street, pole in hand and
dodging signs and people like a good
■fellow.
"And speaking of fishing . reminds
me that several days ago I met a freak
—a .positive freak. H was a man who
had gone fishing and ■ admitted he
hadn’t caught a fish ten feet long' and
that weighed 100 pounds. You may
say what you like 'about exagger
ation being the besetting sirl of fish-
• ermeri. They do exaggerate—at least,
all I ever had dealings with. They'll
be perfectly sane on any other sub
ject, but when they get started tell
ing about their exploits as fishermen
It’s all off. You can’t hold ’em down
to earth, not for a minute. They are
just bound to tell you about that big
one they hooked and came very near
landing, etc., etc.

Almost as real as the real t-hing
was the Lilliputian wedding given by
the first grade A of the William F.
Slaton School Monday afternoon.
From . the entry of the bride and
bridegroom, treading with stately step
to the strains of Mendelssohn’s Wed

ment by tne emoryo clergyman of the
diminutive couple as man and wife,
the ceremony was flawless.
The large auditorium was crowded
with round-eye'd, open-mouthed chil- j
dren, witnesses of the-*occasion. |
Dainty little Helen Moncrief was
the bride, and she was gowned just i
as a bride should be gowned, even *td
the flowing train and orange blossom
wreath. The way in which she rested
on the aim of the bridegroom served
as a good object lesson for brides.
James Smith enacted the role of
bridegroom, and his air of proprietor
ship was. complete. He was attired
in a full dress suit.
Vernon Austin and Evelyn Cop- i

one?" The "lazy loving husband"
