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
ing terms w’ith a whole lot of peo
ple.''
Then he called the names of some
of those he wanted to hear about and
his companion-—they were at one of
the clubs—gave him this-information :
“Jakie” Harris, who used to repre
sent Uncle Remus’ Magazine a 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 ^ 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 mo how those
fellows scatter about the country.
Bui I guess I needn't say a word. I’m
in the same boat.”

New Crop of Fishing
Stories Is About Due.
‘Til bet,” said the business man,
“that stores in Atlanta which sell
fishing tackle are doing a gr it trade
at the present time. I’ve seen more
people ‘going fishing’ in the last few
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
river, creek or lake for the sole pur
pose of landing a minnow or two.
“A fellow passed my place of busi
ness yesterdAy and he had a fi- iingj
pole about fifteen feet long. And, be
lieve me. he was having sonv* trouble
navigating with that pole.- It was so j
long it was constantly getting tangled
up in signs along the sidewalk, ai:
when he wanted to get on a strew cari
the conductor said he’d have to leave |
the stick. Well, you know he'd have l
left his head in preference to desert- j
ing that precious fishing pole, so tin j
last I saw of him he was beating it j
up Peachtree Street, pole in hand andj
dodging signs and people like a good j
fellow.
“And speaking of fishing reminds'
me that several days ago I met a freak j
—a positive freak, it was a man who
had gone fishing and admitted he
hadn’t caught a fish ten feet long and s
that weighed 100 pounds. You may j
say what you like about exagg-*r-|
ation being the besetting sin of fish
ermen. 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 fi-herran
it’s all off. You can’t hold ’em down
to earth, not for a minute. They are
just bound to tell you about t u V-g
one they hooked and came very near
landing, etc., etc.
“This is no comic page steer; it’s
the truth. These Izaak Waltons sure
can pull a long bow. I know some oi
’em.’'
Mule Struck Twice
By Lightning Unhurt
EATONTON, GA., June 3.—Accord

mule being worked by the Putnam
County Commissioners in road con

to be the authority for the report.
Almost as real as the real thing
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
ding march, to the solemn pronounce
ment by tne emoryo clergyman of the
diminutive couple as man and wife,
the ceremony was flawless.
The large auditorium was crowded
with round-eyed, open-mouthed chil
dren, witnesses of the occasion.
Dainty little Helen Moncrief was
the bride, and she was gowned just
as a bride should be gowned, even to
the flowMng train and orange blossom
wreath. The way in which she rested
on the arm of the bridegroom served
as a good object lesson for brides.
James Kmith 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-
pedge were best man and honored
maid, while Helen Snow and Mildred
Smith were flower girls. Bridesmaids
were Emily Peebles. Marie Garden,
•Frances Clement and Frances. Run
yon, while Charlie Dodge. James Gro
gan, Edwin McGee and John Stephens
were groomsmen. Ray Richards en
acted the minister’s role, appearing in
th»• garb of an Episcopal clergyman.
The Lilliputian wedding was wit-y
ne&eed by an unusually large crowd.

female contingent of the negro Bap
tist congregation here has shown its
weakness for a lovable nature in the
opposite sex and prefers a lazy, lov

of the most benefit to a wife—a lazy,

one?” The “lazy, loving husband”
