Jill ,\ l I jAiN 1 - V UJIjUJIUIAS A^i N EWB. 8EST YEAR FIR GEORGIA SEEN BY BRADSTREET'S ELOPEMENT 10YEARS AGOCELEBRATEDNOW That the new year will be the b guest in the history of the South „ the confident prediction made Monday by J. E. C. Pedder, division hcrintendent for Bradstreet's and an expert on business conditions in tii - section. Mi. Pedder declares that with the nriff and currency bills disposed of and (he banks full of money, nothing stands in the way of 1914 breaking ah records. 'The year 1913, just closing, has scan one of the most complex that ■ be Southeastern States have experi enced in years,” said Mr. Pedder, ••and although crop conditions and prices In this territory have been irood, owing to the disturbing factors nf the tariff bugaboo and the cur rency bill, general conditions during the past summer were not entirely satisfactory, although there was no reasonable explanation. Free From Load of Debt. The marketing of the cotton crop . fail brought the farmers, who i id planted, worked and harvested themselves at a minimum cost, practically free from the load of fit-lil that had accumulated the past two years, which will give them a good start for 1914. The general trade throughout the Madman Shoots Wife And Baby for Having 'Devil’ in Their Eyes CINCINNATI, Dec. 29. "1 killed her because I saw the devil in her (\es. The baby would also have th*^ lit-vil in her eyes, so I killed it, too." This was the explanation given by a man registering in the Hotsjl Wal- tr»n as D. H. Willard, but who later . id he was Robert Munroe Maronev, mod 26. of San Antonio, Texas, for p murder of his wife and 3-year-oid daughter this morning. The mother i <i child were riddled with bullets as iliev slept in a room. After the shooting. Maroney. flour- >.ur.g a revolver ran, half raid, from rho hotel and was pursued by a crowd to the river, where he was caught on • o bridge, He told the police he was a magician, a son of James Willard, and was known as “Willard, the Wiz ard." Coroner Foertmeyer pronounced ihc man violently insane. Southeast has been restricted and repressed, and more in the line of filling in than normal buying, with the result that merchandise stocks at the present time are depleted. “This indicates that the early spring months must show’ a decided increase in orders and sales. In fact, numerous local wholesalers and job bers have already felt this trade im petus in largely increased orders for spring shipment. 1914 To Be Best. “With the tariff and currency bills disposed,of; with our banks full of money; with our farmers in better financial condition than for years; with the faith in ourselves that we have gained by the magnificent for ward strides we have made in the past few years, we can all look for ward with confidence born of our padt successful achievements that 1914 will be the best year ever know n in the South. "I might tell you of the wonderful record we have made here in At lanta, but the world knows that, and statistics are dry reading, anyway; but if w’e all attend to our own knitting, each one striving to make his individual efforts the best, we of the Southland will lead the nation in comparative results."

Webb and pretty Miss Annie Elder secretly planned and gleefully carried out a runaway marriage—to the amazement of their own parents, as well as to the general surprise of their friends and acquaintances—the young bride exacted a promise that they would celebrate the tenth anni versary of their wedding in a manner that would make up for the trick they had played on people by their elope ment. So it conies that there will be a “tin wedding’’ Tuesday evening in the Women’s Clubhouse out at Clarkston. Uach of the elopers w.as 20 years old when, without saying a word to any one, they met by appointment and went to the hoem oC the Rev. Julian S. Rogers, then the assistant of the Rev Len G, Broughton, and made de mand that he then and there make them husband and wife. W th the lapse.of years Mr, Webb, now a sedate and well-established Atlanta business man. had begun to imagine that Mrs. Webb had forgot ten the promise he had made her in the excitement of their elopement. And, with the ordinary man’s not overly enthusiastic liking for social functions, he was not in any haste to remind her. But she remembered. Their home in ClarkRton, to which they moved several years ago, would be too small for the concourse of friends and rela tives, she thought. The Women’s Clubhouse was just the place. Be tween three and four hundred invita tions have been issued to the celebra tion. The. Rev. and Mrs. Julian 5*. Rogers will be among the guests of honor. And then there will be three of the younger generation of Webbs—How ard, aged 8; Mary Lee, aged 6, and David, Jr., aged 4. But this is not the entire family of Mr. and Mrs. Webb, by any means. There still are Rob ert, aged 2, and William, who was ushered into the world only four months ago. They have been prom ised that they shall attend the next decennial < elebrafion of the Webb elopement, but they are too young just now to go out to parties and cel ebrations Mr. Webb is a member of the Webb Sr Vary I Tinting and Publishing firm at No. 38 1-2 West Alabama street.
