Mr. Wiley told reporter at tho depot

Mr. Wiley. 'and was wadlng down the

Didn't Know Her Sister.

Two ladies, both living in Atlanta
now, were the principal figures in a
rather novel story recently.
Mrs. Smith has lived in Atlanta fol
some time. She knew that she had
a married sister named Mrs. Green
but had never seen the Mrs. Green OF
the family, nor any of the children
and in the lapse Of years since she had
seen her sister as a girl she had near
ly forgotten her, too.
Mrs. Green, on the other hand
knew that she had sister named
Mrs. Smith living in Atlanta, bu,
didn't know exactly where or how to
find out where, 80 when she came tc
Atlanta Mrs. Smith knew nothing
about it.
Mr.. Green finally decided upon 9
neat little cottage near Alexander
street, and Mrs. Green was satisfied
SO they moved out there and are liv
ing there now.
BY curious accident their next
door neighbor was Mrs. Smith. the
sister of Mrs. Green. The two ladies
were soon upon speaking terms, Dor.

fed with her next door neighbor.
A few days ago the two ladies were
at their front gates at the same time.
They each bought a watermelon from
the same country wagon, and then
met at the fence for a neighborly little
chat.
DO you know" said Mrs. Green,
as she shaded her eyes with her fan,
"that1 have a married sister living in
Atlanta named Mrs. Smith,"
mo. That's queer, for / haye a
married sister somewhere in Georgia
named Mrs. Green"
"Oh, / do believe I'm your sister !"
"And l believe I'm your sister,
too"
And over the low paling fence be-
tween their home the two sisters for
the first time in years, embraced each
other.
They had been next door neighbors
twenty-nine days before they found
out that they were sisters.-Atlanta
