Miss Mary Lea Davis: 1 can’t think of anything that would appeal to a husband’s bet ter self more than for his wife to remember him on Christmas morning with the Bible as her gift, with its many comforting passages and promises to sustain him the new year She might accompany this with some needy 1 article made with her own hands, and with much love and confi dence wish him Joy and cheer.

Dec. 11.—Mrs. Oullie Martin, an aged woman living in the western part of the city, dropped dead in the streets here last night while en route to visit a friend. Analey Hotel. Everybody is invited. I Mr. Ellery is to reach Atlanta Fri day morning, and will appear at the “Star Matinee” that afternoon at whiofN his band is to play, at the Atlanta Theater in behalf of the Empty Stocking Fund. The famous band is to be heard in a series of concerts at the Auditorium under the auspices of the Music Fes tival Association. As has been an nounced. the school children of At lanta will be admitted free to the matinee concerts on Monday. Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday through admission by tickets distrib- j uted at the various schools. One-third ! of the children will attend on each of the Hrst three days, the fourth matinee being open to the negro school children. The opening concert will take place next Friday night, with tickets on sale at the door. The Music Fes tival Association assures the public that the Ellery engagement is to be one of the notable events of the sea son. In Nashville, in fact, such a furor was created by the wonderful con certs given by the hand that after hearing the series of six perform ances. special permission was extend ed by the city for tjvo more concerts on Sunday, the night concert at 9 o’clock being largely attended by church-goers, who went to the con cert directly from the churches. A SON AND HEIR. Mihm Mary I^ca Davis: I think the most suitable present for the occasion wou’d be for every woman to present her husband a baby boy on Christmas morn, as that is the day of Christ’s birth. One other suggestion is a nice memorandum book for each day in the year. MRS. E. M P. West Point, Ga. Three committees of he kity Council p ill meet Thursday after noon in an effort to take some conclu sive action on matters of far-reach ing importance. The investigating committee hoi** to determine its report on the “graft” charges against City Electrician R. C. Turner. The Aldermanic Board, act ing as a committee, will hold a public hearing on the new traffic ordinance and decide upon a recommendation to c ouncil. The Ordinance Committee will give final consideration to a bill regulating taxicab fares. The taking of testimony in the Tur ner “graft” investigation is complex Turner has admitted receiving $520 and a gold watch from electrical con tractors, but he claims that it was for the purpose of paying off his in debtedness Incurred by his campaign for election. 'The feature of the close of this hearing will be the argument of Attorney Aldine Chambers, who declares that he has proved Turner a grafter.” and who will recite to the committee what he claims to he clear grounds for impeachment. Council Is perplexed over the new traffic law that would stop the park ing of automobiles In the downtown section for more than 20 minutes at a time, and would prohibit pedestrian* from crossing streets except at cor ners Society women who drive their machines and doctors who leave their .*rs n the street during their office hours are vigorous protesters against the parking provision of the law. tnd they are causing considerable trouble to those who want to relieve congest ed conditions. A la\v strictly regulating taxicab charges will be recommended by the < irdinance Committee, but taxicab owners declare that the proposed rates are too low. The committee, will determine these rates at the meeting Thursday afternoon and pass an act requiring them to be posted on the inside of every taxicab and auto mobile that is for rent Under the present law taxicab owners are al lowed to charge what they choose.
