The strange story comes from Atlanta
that one OF its citizens recently won
100000 at gambling and then promptly
committed saicide by blowing his brains
out with a pistol. The account says
nothing about those who were such
heavy losers, but Judging from the way
they do things down in Georgia, it is
reasonable to presume that they were
so overjoyed with their good fortune
that they went out and got on a glori
