Company, for the death of her husband
C. N. Barrett, who was killed in Oec
tobr 1909 while employed as a watch
man at the Kennesaw Avenue crossing.

FIRE AT MR. ROSERTS’ HOME
ON KENNESAW AVENUE.
Saturday morning a fire was discov
ered in a linen closet under the front
staircase in the residence of Mr. George
Roberts. Mrs. Roberts was not at
home and little Pearl Roberts was the
first to notice the flames. The cook
sent in an alarm to which the firemen
quickly responded. The handsome
staircase and several doors opening
into the hall were ruined. The ascend
ing heat broke window panes and mir
rors in the upstairs rooms. Lace cur
tains were also 'seorched until: they
were ruined although they did not blaze,
Mr. Roberts estimates the entire loss
at between five and eight hundred dol
lars. The house is new and elegant
and the loss is therefore more than it
would have been otherwise.
AN ERROR.
An error that caused some confusion
was made in the publication in the
Journal a few “weeks ago of the an
nouncement of the opening of a new
store by Messrs. Charles and Sam
Pear]. The name of the store will be
‘“The Famous’’ and Pearl Brothers will
be the proprietors. We are glad to
make this correction.
THE KENNESAW MONUMENT.
Mr. W. A. Coursen favorsus with
this clipping from the National Trib.
une of Washington:
‘‘After 11 years of effort, the move
ment to erect a monument on the Ken
nesaw Mountain battlefield is in the
way of success: The Illinois legislature
has appropriated $20,000, and Gov. De
neen has appointed a commission con
sisting of William A. Payton, Danville;
Dr. J. B. Shawgo, Quincy, and Capt.
Dansing J. Dawdy, Peoria, to carry
out the direction of the legislature.’’
Commenting on this item Mr. Cour
sen. says:
‘“This may indicate one of the first
steps toward a military park on Ken
nesaw and a fine driveway from the
city around the mountain. If so, we
hope the proper authorities will take
the necessary steps to preserve that
fine long line of earthworks on the
mountain ridge. These works are
much better preserved than those at
Gettysburg or Chicamauga, in fact
there are very few battlefields that can
show any better or even as good. That
was a grand fight on the mountain and
reflects great credit on the bravery of
the American soldier.’’
Garden planting is now upon
us. Of course you want the
kind of seeds that grow. None
better than the old reliable Lan
dreth, at Wikle-Hodges Drug
Co.’s.

When an established drug store finds its business constant
ly increasing, when competitors are crying “hard times” there
is a special reason forit. When a prescription business shows
an increase month after month over the same months of the
preceding year—as is the case at Sams’—the reason scarcely
requires mention. ,
. Itisdue to the fact that public,.confidence has been.won
by perfect compounding of prescriptions from the purest
drugs, the prompt delivery of same to the place or home
where wanted, the complete attention to every detail that
makes business satisfactory.
If you have not personally had the pleasing experience
of finding all these things at your service, the next time you
want a prescription filled, or want anything in the drug line
