Weightman- Walker. Mrs. Wlster declared that Weight man had proposed marriage to her. on the slip of paper Weightman, it is declared, averred that she tried to force marriage upon him, coupling her proposal with a sinister threat. Much more, It Is declared, appears in an affidavit, for old Weightman had 1 the irfemorandum sworn to and wit nessed. It practically admitted the slip was the paper regarding which Mr. Weightman had written, on July 4, be fore he died, to Mrs. Wlster, say ing: “I have been very much annoyed to day by the fireworks going oft around the house, but I have Just written and signed a paper, which when It becomes known, will make more noise than three such celebrations.” Mrs. Wlster declares there was noth ing In the paper In question to-em barrass her, but any statement regard ing it must come from her counsel. She said her lawyers were now con sidering whether the will contest would be renewed. VETERANS GRIEVE A T NEWS OF DEA TH Atlanta Camps Adopt Resolutions of Regret and Sympathy.

ODDER TO VETERANS ON MRS,DAVIS 1 DEATH OV GENERAL MICKLE MajI Gen. Garnett Detailed to Arrange for Suita ble Memorial. Special to The Georgian. Mobile. Ala., Oct. 17.—Upon learning of the death of Mrs. Jefferson Davis when he returned here last night from New Orleans, William E. Mickle, ad jutant general and chief of staff of the United Confederate Veterans, Issued the following order; "General Ordar No. 57. "1. With a heart full of grief, the general commanding announces to his beloved comrades the death of Mrs, Varina Jefferson Davis, which occurred In the city of New York Tuesday night, she being at the time of her death over 80 years of age. Thus passes away another of our distinguished Confed erates; and the bonds which connected the people Of the South with the house hold of our first and only president have been wholly severed with the ex ception of one link yet remaining. "Mrs. Davis was such a part of tho people of this section, participating In their griefs and sorrows and rejoicing In their prosperity and happiness, .ami was for so mahy years intimately as sociated with them In every way, that an extended notice Is unnecessary and out of place. "She was In every sense of the 8outh, Southern, and her earnest wish was to live and die among the people she loved so well, and what she Buffered that III health compelled her to take up her residence among strangers far from her own people, Is known only to those who were Intimate with her, and though denied the pleasure of being with them In body, she was ever pres ent In spirit and delighted In dwelling upon the deeds of our Incomparable armies. Ab an author, as a wife, aa a mother, as a patriot, us a Southern woman, she attained a high eminence In the estimation of the world, and died, full of years and of honors, re spected by all and beloved by the sur vivors of the Confederate armies every where. "2. In order that proper respect may be paid by this federation to this pa triotic and Illustrious woman. Major General Theodore S. Garnett, com manding the Virginia division of the United Confederate Veterans, Is here by detailed to see that suitable arrange, ments are made to carry out the In tentions of this order. He Is to use his best Judgment as to the course .to fol low. "By command of Stephen D. Lee. general commanding. "William E. Mickle, adjutant general and chief of staff.”. Presented Large Eagle.

Jones left an estate estimated at $250,000, consisting large ly of valuable properties In Atlanta, Cartersvllle and other points. Prop erty belonging to Mrs. Jones was sold here not many years ago for $80,000. Mr. Jones did own a splendid Ken tucky farm, but sold It because his evangelistic work prevented him glv ing It the necessary attention. Those In a position to speak authoritatively say that for many years Mr. Jonea’ Income was from $35,ono to $40,000 a year from his evangelical and lecture work. Of this great sum he annually gave away to charitable work more than two- thirds of his earnings. His benefactions were so wide and varied that few but his own family knew of them. He rarely spoke of them, and sought to keep his generous gifts from the pub lic. His life Insurance was fully $76,000, and this, of courae, will go to hts es tate. It Is believed that his wife will administer the estate. WILL ASK CITY COUNCIL TO BUILD AUDITORIUM Committee Decides Against Any Pub lic Subscription.
