education. Miss Gritman had been away TO

til she had a better offer. She said she had
waited as long as she intended to. and Mr..
Gritman commanded her not to receive Mr..
vanderveer's attentions any longer. The
young man didn't call at the house again. and

OF Chicago was brought here from Atlanta to.

Col. Hagood had scarcely been placed behind

that many counties in tho State will be repre-
scented by n Mrs. Hagood. Thus far only two
States outside OF South Carolina have been
heard from. The state OF Illinois is repre-
scented by Mrs. Belle Hagood Of Chicago.
Georgia has another.
