MOUNT CLAIRE. J—"l am through with the old life, l don't want ta think of the past It is all like a hortlble dream that one seeks to forget.” In plaintive tone Bertha Glaiche, the pretty young French girl who shot and l.tiled Emil Genc'ron, In New Yotk, three years ago. sr. i this on her arrival at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Balllflgton Booth here It was the first statement made by the g.rl since her incarceration in Auburn, and she made it with (ho tears flow ing down her lisle cheeks. Accompanied by the woman who had befriended her, she arrived In Jersey City front Auburn on the Pennsylvania road, and then took a train to Newark. In Newark the pair went to Mrs. Booth's home, No 182 Mount tin avenue. After she had washed av ay the Mains of travel and had settled her self in a big arm chair, while a ntaal was being prepared for her, Bertha epreshed her willingness to tnlk to the interviewer. This proved s mte what hard for her, for in splto of her association with English-speak ing persons in prison, she is sadly de ficient In the English language. "It may seem strange,” she be gan. "to say that I have not felt the strain of being in prison, but it Is so. 1 have felt a greater content than I have ever known, and at thlß time I feel as if I were in Heaven. Airs. Booth is the kindest woman .n the world and I am going to he so good -oh, so good—that she til love me like a daughter. Yes," she queried with a wistful look In her pretty blue eyes, as Mrs. Booth entered tt'.e room. Mrs. Booth patted the girl’s white cheeks and Berthn seised the hand and covered It with kisses. Then she broke down and cried a little, more for joy than any thing else ap parently. Composing herself, she .went on: “Please don't ask me arv questions about that. It is all past and I am trying to forget It—have been for th > lasi three years. I am looking for ward to beginning life all over again nnd I am so happy. Nobody was ever good to me before, and I love Mrs. Booth dearly. I can never re pay her." Panther Spring Water, 10c per gal lon. Phone 1046. Quick delivery.

The num ber of bales sold was 2,760 and each bale brought over $45. as middling was quoted at a shade above nine cenls. This brings an enormous amount of trade to Augusta and business is picking up with a remarkable rapid tty Merchants are preparing h% a large fill trade and there is every In dtcation that their expectations will be realized. While there promises to he a very short crop of cotton in the Auigista territory it develops that farmers have a large amount of other produce for sale also in the way of hogs, cattle, hay and grain and this will aid ma terially in Increasing the volume of trade In Augusta. But it is Uk- (lavs when an eighth of a million dollars a day is turned loose that counts hero and today lit the first day of the new season that cotton sales went over one hundred thousand dollars.
