ABOUT THE SUIT.
The Question is Whether Treasurer Lamb
Was Responsible For Bank Deposits.

The Question is Whether Treasurer Lamb
Was Responsible For Bank Deposits.
The real qsestion in the suit which is
in process of preparation against the
bondsmen of the late Hon. John p.
Lamb, county treasurer, is whether or
not the deceased was responsible for
monies deposited in the State and
Oglethorpe banks, which monies have
been partially lost to the county by
the failure of the banks.
Mr.. Lamb, at the time OF his death,
was due the county $7,645,20, which
amount was covered by deposits in the
State bank amounting to $2,75S,2O
and in the Oglethorpe National bank
amounting to $6,653,2 a total of 3d.
All, 40. Thus, it will be seen that there
was a surplus of $1,766,2O, counting
the funds in the banks as funds on
hand. The question which will be
determined in the trial of the suit, if
it is tried, is whether Mr.. Lamb was
authorized by the county commits
sioners to deposit the county monies
in the said banks.
There is, of course, no claim OF
J fraud in the matter at all. Mr.. Lambs
record is unlmpeachable, and it only
remains to be seen whether his bonds
men can be held liable for his giving
of the county funds into the care of
the banks.

Hacker BrOwnlOw Wedding.

After several weeks of anxious antici-
patton among the friends of the con-
tracing parties, the wedding of Arthur
N. Hacker and Miss Annie Brownlow
took place last Wednesday, Oct. 6, at
l O'Clock. The Second Presbyterian
church had been beautifully decorated
with Americas emblem, the goldenrod,
by the members of the Embroidery
Club of which the bride was charter
member. Many compliments have
been given to those ladies who designed
the decorations and who were honored
by the bride with this special request
This club was also honored with re-
served seats during the wedding cere-
mony. Before the hour for the we'd
ding had arrived the spacious church
was filed to overlooking and many
could not get inside the door. The or
gan was presided over by Mrs. f. M.
Wells, who is also member of the
Embroidery Circle and very warm
friend of the bride. The bride was
gowned in a beautiful suit of blue
broadcloth with hat to match, while the
groom was dressed in conventional
black. Through the generosity of the
Electric Light Company rather a move
and beautiful feature was introduced
during the ceremony. By means o.
electric bulbs the letters B. H. were
formed and when the minister pro
nounced them man and wife the B. dis
appeared and the H grew brighter whe1
the two became one. The cermony
was performed by Rev. John S. Eakin
pastor of the church, and was shor
simple and impressive. After the cere
mony had been performed the bride, OF
the arm of the groom, marched dow
the aisle and out to the carriage whicl
was in waiting at the gate. After re
ceiving many congratulations fror
friends they were driven to the depo
where they boarded the west boun
vestibule for Nashville, where the
will spend their honeymoon. Thes
young people were the recipients c
many valuable, beautiful, useful an
ornamental presents, many of whic
came from schoolmates of the bride.

Myrtle Lesueur.

When the grim monster comes to the
household, sadness and grief usually
follow in his wake. Although his un-
welcome visits are paid with unerring
certainty, they are always feared and
dreaded by young and old. When the
icy hand is laid on the old and infrm,
on the invalid whose lingering illness
is attended with continual suffering,
vexation and Disappointment, the near
and dear ones are constrained 70 bow
their heads in resignation and adora-
ton and say "It is we'll: Thy will be
DONE"
But when a mother surrounded by
helpless babes, or father who is the
sole support of young family is taken
away, it is hard to say "Thy will be
DONE" and we know that it is best.
But when the child, full of life and
youthful vigor, who has entwined itself
around our affections and become a
part of our own existence is suddenly
snatched away,,,in the agony OF our
hearts we rebel against the Divine De-
cree, and we would undo the work of
the Grim Destryer if we could even as
did Jesus at Bethany. In our sorrow
we even forget that the same Jesus
said of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Myrtle Lesueur, the subject of this
sketch was born June 10, 1888, and
died Oct. 4. 1897. She was motherless
at the age of three years, with no sister
to care for, advise or protect her, yet
she grew up gentle, amiable and sub
missive. She was pupil of Johnson
City Institute at the time of her death.
The school was suspended on the day
of her death, and memorial services
held by the Principal, in the room
where her vacant seat was sad remind
er of her sweet face. During the brief
address of the Principal, he said, sit
fords me pleasure to be able to state
in the presence of her schoolmates that
Myrtle never received from me single
word of reproof or correction, and that
in the department she was always kind,
obedient, and affectionate. She is
missed at home, at school, and in her
circle of youthful friends, but let us
not forget that for her Eternal portals
have opened and closed and, secure in
the arms of the same Jesus, who said,
"Suffer little children to come unto
Me-" She reposes where sickness can
rea ch her no more.

TIE ADMINISTRATION AND SPAIN,


That Mr.. Mckinley is being duped
by the government of Spain is the
opinion of nearly everybody, except
Mr., Mckinley and the members of his
cabinet Spain is playing for time and
plenty of it, and it is likely to get it too
unless this country rudely awakens the
administration from its dream and de-
mands that Spain be made to fish or
cut bait. 1t is difficult to find an intel
ligent person who does not believe that
the change of ministry in Spain was
brought about solely for the purpose of
securing delay in replying to the propo-
sition submitted by the United States,
and if the game worked we'll then, there
is no reason that it will mot be worked
again, or at any rate attempted, when
Minister Woodford tries to prod the
new ministry for reply. Spain is
also trying to secure the support of the
bread and butter brigade in this
country by limiting at commercial
monopoly to be granted us as soon as
peace is restored to- Cuba under the
new home rule scheme These things
may catch Mr.. Mckinley, but they do
not catch those who know the actual
situation in Cuba. Spain will have
nothing to do with the commerce of
Cuba when there is q restoration OF
business and trade on the island, be-
cause its hold upon the island will be
gone. Mr. Mckinley cannot change
the ultimate result in Cuba, but he can
hurry up matters, if so disposed. II
he allows Spain to pull the wool ovel
his eyes by the recall of Butcher Wey
Ter, and indefinite talk about Home
Rule concessions to the Cubans, which
every school boy in the United States
knows will not be accepted, he viii
simply lose O. great Opportunity Il
please the people of this country, re
CARELESS of party. He probably hal
not forg often how difficult it was t
prevent Congress forcing this issue
