THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, riKUDAV, DEC MMBKU How Are You Fixed? Is that cozy little home just as complete as von would like it? If there is any one thing lacking it must be a Base Burner or a Heating Stove. If you care to think along this line any; suppose you take a little time and see our leaders; the “Estate” positively has no superior, and is much appreciated on account of its economical features. Possibly we have in other styles and cheaper stoves more than 1,000 in stock. It will give us great pleasure to show you through at any time. King Hardware Co. NO SHERIFF'S SALE] T FAILURE For the flrst time In the history Fulton county, there was no sheriff's sale at the court house Tuesday, the regulur monthly date for the sales to be hold. Though thirty days have passed since a sale has been held, nil the debts for which suit was brought have been paid and there was not the customary business for the sheriff and his men. As u. rule, from forty' to a hundred sales are held. - When asked what they thought was the cause of this record, the deputies stuted that it was undoubtedly brought about by the great and increasing pros perity of Fulton county. When men have quantities of money pouring into tlieii coffers^ they will pay' their debts and their pi^perty will not be the sub ject of sale. 55 Peachtree Street 87 Whitehall Street 203 Peters Street 116 Decatur Street LITTLE GEORGE MELVIN STRUCK DOWN BY CAR Knocked From Track and Is Badly Bruised.
