orator OF the day in Atlanta on

There are FIVE citizens of Atlanta
who are each worth a million dol
lars: Jas. E. Brown, Hugh T. In
man, W. D. Grant, John Ryan and
Edward Marsh.
THE present grand Jury OF Dough
erty county has recommended that
the county appropriate $500 toward
using another pamphlet advertising
the advantages of Albany and
Dougherty county.
Pike county, Georgia, made a
record during two days of last week
of which she may we'll be proud,
showing, as it does, that she may be
relied upon to do her part in in
creasing the population of the state
against the coming of the census
enumerators. Within the time
named, eight pair of twins and FIVE
sets of triplets were born in that
country.
There is a young man attending
school at Butler who went there in
January with $54 in his pocket, and
although he has his board, tuition
and other expenses to pay, he has
more money than when he went.
The reason is he works when not
engaged in school. His services as
janitor more than pay his tuition,
and once month he assists in mail
ing the Gospel Messenger and does
any work that comes to hand.
Rev. P. W. Edge died at the resi-
dence of ]. 7. Bond, in Twiggs
county, Tuesday, Mr.. Edge was a
prominent minister of the Baptist
church. He was born in Cobb coun-
ty, Georgia, and was about Al years
of age. He married Miss Matte
Miller of Jones county, who, with
four children, survive him. Mr..
Edge was delegate to the consti-
tutional convention of 1877. About
eight years ago he was admitted to
the bar, and was making wide
reputation in that field when ill
health compelled him to almost
abandon practice.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Hartwell Sun writes: One dollar
worth a thousand I! Yes, l have
seen it, and had it in my hands.
The date of this rare piece of money
is 1904. Only four are known to
be in existence at present, and Mr..
Abe Fry, an Atlanta jeweler, is the
fortunate possessor of one. That
the coin is really worth a thousand
is attested by the fact that Mr.. Fry
has refused bona fide offer of that
amount for it. He has a very large
collection of rare and curious coins,
which to me were particularly inter-
esting.
Jim Goode, colored drayman,
we'll known in Rome, was found
dead Sunday in the upper portion
of the city. The top part of his
head was blown of, evidently with a
double barrel shotgun. His brains
were scattered around over the road.
One hand was in his pocket. 1t
seems as though he was walking
along the street and some one walk
cd up from behind and shot hin
dead. From the position in which
he was found he must have been
killed instantly. Jim had rather a
bad reputation for fooliug with
women and whisky.
Jack Tyner, a young man IS
years old, was stabbed to death by
Henry Weaver, companion about
the same age. Young Weaver re-
ceived an April fool letter that
made him very mad. 1t was signed
by Tyner. Weaver met Tyner and
the matter was referred to. Tyner
denied writing the letter or knowing
anything about it. Weaver did not
believe him and assaulted him with
the result above stated. Since the
killing a Young lady admits that she
