and David and spoke from the text:
“Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints.” Mr. Mor

when he was a young preacher, thir
ty years ago and he mentioned that
he owed much to the friendship and

LIMIT OF LAW GIVEN
THE “KING OF TIRERS”
Twelve Montlis in Chain-gang,
Six Months in Jail
~and $l,OOO Fine
The blind tigers have been getting
it hot and heavy in the Superior
Court this week and if some of them
get over it “they will never look the
same again” as the saying goes.
Steve Dunn was given the hardest
rap when Judge Patterson sentenced
him to twelve months in the chain
gang, six months in jail and fined
him $l,OOO. He didn’t give him an
alternative of paying a fine and es
caping jail, or working out the fine
—he must work the roads twelve
months, stay in jail six months and
then he still will owe the state
$l,OOO.
Garfield Beattie, the blind ‘“blind
tiger,”” of Vinings was fined and
ordered to leave Cobb county under
a suspended sentence of twelve
months. Under the new law the sus
pended sentence is indefinite so he
cant come back like he did once be
fore. llf he does he goes to Milledge
ville for twelve months.
And there were many others that
got fines from a hundred or so on
down, as the advertisers say ‘too
numerous to mention.”

Mrs. Carter was the daughter of
Mr. J. R. Daniel, and was raised in
Cobb county. She was a good Chris
tian, using her influnence for much
good. Her sunny, genial disposition
won her many friends who will feel
her loss keenly.
Family, nurse, physician and
friends did all they could to lessen
her sufferings and restore her to
health, but God needed amother an
gel and called her home.
The beautiful white casket was
covered with many lovely floral off
erings.
The funeral was conducted by Rev,
George Crow at Mt. Bethel and the
remains were interred at that place.
The pall-bearers were Messre.

.
Here Monday Night
When the “Deestrick Skule” was
given in Franklin, Ky., the enter
tainment bad to be stopped to keep
a man from dying laughing. ' When
he recovered he refused to leave the
building saying, he thought he was
over the worst of it,
,“The Skule” will be given at the
Auditorium in Marietta next Mon
day night and the ‘“‘Skollars” will
furnish two hours of pure, wholesome
fun for the benefit of the big audi
nece that will attend.
No one has the right to give Miss
Battaile’s ‘“Skule” as she has copy
righted it for her exclusive use, so
if you didn’'t see her ‘Deestrick
Skule”” when she gave it in Marietta
fourteen years ago, you have not
seen the genuine article, so don’t
i fail to go Monday night.
~ Mr. J. Z. Foster will be the skule
master, Miss Inda Harrison will be
Mrs. Honeysuckle and Judge Stone,
Solicitor General Clay, Messrs W. A.
'Sams, Geo. S. Owens, W. 8. N. Neal
J. E. Dobbs and about forty other
Mnntlomc—n and ladies will appear in
the entertainment Monday night.
The *“‘Skule” is for the benefit of
the organ fund of the Baptist church
but every body is going not only on
account of the cause, but because
‘the *“Skule” is o irristably funny
‘that they can not afford to miss it.
