THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. "1 FRIENDS FALL OUT AND FIGHT ABOUT MONEY FOUND IN SACK Understanding About Division of Expenses Did Not Extend to Division of Prize For Purchaser. Some one Mid that tne love of money w.is the root of all evil. It may be. but •‘verybody aeema to be looking for ’-prig. It la recorded that elforta have . been made to do a bit of grafting In thte growing of the financial tree. •' that aa It may, however, a atory waa ■ unearthed recently at a local grocery ; atore which has all the earmarks of being unique In Its exposition of the ci.isplng spirit, with particular refer ence to money. It goes to disprove the -Mtement that chickens and children j’wllf.not mix, but demonstrates that when the almighty dollar enters In there Is likely to be discord, resulting In personal differences between two well-regulated families. And It was the almighty dollar—Just one of them—that caused the trouble. Intemperate words tilled the air for a time, and then, losing entire control of their ordinary sweet tempers, two women clinched, pulled hair and scratched at eyes In a manner to make th.' neighbors sit up and take notice and give them something to talk about for many a day to come. Then, when two honest, hard work ing, loving husbands reached home that night there was more discussion, re sulting In a four-cornered, knock-down- nnd-drag-out scrap, which wended Its way Into the police court, where the belligerents were told to go their way In peace, but refrain In future from the ii ••• of flats and Anger nails. It all came about through the plan of a local wholesale grocery company to advertise a brand of flour which was called "Money Flour.” A coin, ranging In value from 5 cents to tl, was placed In every sack. A 24-pound sack of the flour sells for about 70 cents. If you happen to get the sack containing the dollar you not only got your flour for nothing, but make 30 cents on the deal. This Information was Imparted by the wholesale grocer to the retail gro cers, and "Money Flour” commenced to have a big sale. Now, It chanced that one of the re tallera operated a atore In the neigh borhood where two families lived In one house In happlnrss and domestic serenity. They divided the expenses of rent, of gas, of water, of fuel, of all household purchases. It was under stood perfectly that the expense was to be shared half and half. But at the time this agreement wns entered Into neither rf the families had any Idea that, like Joseph’s brothers of old, they would be finding the pur chase money In the mouth of the sack. Ho when one good housewife went to the corner grocery 1 and pur chased a sack .of "Money Flour,” she assumed that the big, round, bright new silver dollar which rolled out be longed to her, even though her cry resident wns obligated to pay half the purchase price. But when this Information was com municated to the co-resident, the co resident demurred. That precipitated the difference which resulted In the pulling of hair and scratching of eyes, and later In the use by angry men of muscular lists. The neighbors heard all about It- nelghbors always do—and now the cor' her grocer has difficulty In keeping "Money Flour.” ••• SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOY LOST FROM HIS MOTHER When 7-year-old Harry Clear, who doesn't know where he lives or how to get there, was left at a Greek fruit stand by his mother Friday morning, he decided the locality did not suit him, so he, wandered Into the old union depot to watch the trains rattle In and out.
