WHITE' MS FOR 250 FROM MILLS New Buildings Ready Soon After January 1, but Leases on Broad Street Houses Continue. A dozen—mayb* thirteen—produce firms are to move off Soufii Broad street goon after the first of the year, and there is a good deal of wonder as to what sort of district that busy sec tion will develop next, after the pro duce men have taken up their new stations along Produce roA\ between Washington street and Central ave nue. The sixteen buildings—three sto ries, elevators, done in concrete— won’t be ready by January 1, it seems. But they will be ready as soon there after as possible, and when they are ready the produce men will have to start paying rent on their reserva tions, whether they move in or not. That rather complicates things. .Some of the leases on the present stands run eight months into 1914. Some of them run longer. Some of the produce men have leases that will run two or three years. Hard to Sublet Stores. Just now they are trying to sublet the stores. “But it’s a tough job." one produce dealer satd Saturday. “These buildings are not in good shape. 1 don’t se£ hat sort of business aside from ours i ould be carried on in them.” There is an idea, fairly prevalent, that the owners of the present pro duce stands will eventually put up handsome and substantial buildings and strive to make South Broad street big retail thoroughfare, on the Whitehall street plan. But whether they will start his work before the present leases expire—that is anoth er question, and one the owners are not disposed to discuss freely. The produce men are engaged just now in trying to settle on a date when they could move in a body. Large Firms Involved. "I understand the new ‘row'’ won’t be ready for occupancy before March 1,” said one dealer. “My idea is that all the boy* ought to go together; there’s no system in splitting up the territory, as would be the case if they moved a few at a time. Personally. I’d rather pay rent at the new place after it is ready and stay on here until the bunch goes. My lease runs until next Vail.” The produce men involved in the prospective move are McCullough Bros., the Williams-Thompson Com pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., th“ Gailmand-Cheves Company. the Barnes-Faiu Company, the Fidelity Fruit and Produce Company, A. Fu- gazzi. the Southern Produce Compa ny, Wigt, Davis & Co., the McMillan Produce Company. Conley & Ennis, Porter Bros, and West Bros. Among the property owners are j Frank Coker. Mrs. John Broomhead, the Murphy estate, John Dickey, Jr., Alverson Bros, and the Gus Ryan es tate. 'Educate Church to Taugo,' Says Girl NEW YORK.

To-day 250 poor children of At lanta are wondering if the “white Christmas” given to them Friday by the children of the First Methodist Church was a dream. But then they have toys and other gifts to testify to its reality. The First Methodist children are correspondingly happy over the suc cess of their novel entertainment, which was the first of its kind in At lanta. Each child was a "personal Santa” to some less fortunate little brother or sister from the mill dis trict, and they enjoyed their roles as much as their guests. The “white Christmas” is symboli cal of an ancient legend in which all the people bring white gifts to the King or Christ Child. The lecture room of the fehurch, in which the en tertainment was given carried out the idea, being decorated in cotton, which gave a snowy effect. Several'Christmas trees were cov- ered with silver tinsel. Incandescent lights among the decorations made the syene brilliant. The children from the Sheltering Arms, the Atlanta Woolen Mills and the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills oc cupied chairs, w hile the Sunday school « hildren sat on the floor. A1 i joined in carols, after which “The Story of Christ” was read by Dr. W. W. Mem- minger, pastor of All Saints Church. The little hosts and hostesses then distributed well-tilled stockings to the poor ’children and served them with refreshments. The “w hite Christmas” lasted from 3 o’clock to 5.

Maybe it was so. She couldn’t remembiir a thing that happened after receiving that mysterious "«ting” in the arm "Let me see your arm," demanded the Recorder. It showed no signs f the "poisoned needle." "I guess you've been reading -he sensational stories about the "need!, men’ in New York.” he said. Inves tigation disclosed that the woman had arrived in Atlanta not on Friday, but several weeks ago.

I was suffering very much. I used — salve and . but they did not seem to help me. This went on for six or seven months. Then I tried Redjnol Ointment and Resinol Soap. I used them one night.
