About the coolest thing in the way of
nerve that has been seen lately was that
displayed by Jersey City tooth carpenter
who got into an alteration with a man on
the street and knocked out two of his best
front teeth, and then, when he saw what
he had done, hurried into his office and
promptly made out and forwarded to his
victim by the next mail the following bill
for professional services:
"John Smith,
"To l. Yankem, DR..
"To extracting two teeth at so cents
each, 81.
IN. B.--Please remit and oblige."
We don't know whether he got the dol
lar or not, but he richly deserved it, En-
terprise and nerve of that description Ger
tainly ought not to go unrewarded.-

The first big striped bass caught this
season i'll the Hudson river fell to the
rod of Mr.. John Dutil of the Tarrytown
Rod and Gun club. 1t weighed 91a
pounds, which is more than double the
weight of the prize bass of last season,
a male fish weighing Az pounds. Mr..
Dutil will probably win the 1897 prize
offered by his club for the largest Hud-
son river bass. The big fish was cap
trred on white worm bait. The fisher
man cast from the wall running along
the railroad tracks and was obliged to
play his game for fully 90 minutes.

the young woman upon whom he had set
his affections and she had declined to
marry him. He sat in silence for few
minutes and then said:
Il dislike to prolong conversation on a
subject which cannot be other than I'M
pleasant to both of us, but before we drop
the topic forever there's one question I'd

Certainly, Mr. Washington. What is

THE DISTINGUISHED GEORGIA SIP E
CIALIST,
Dr.. ]. Harvey Moore, of Atlanta-See
What the Atlanta Papers
Say of Him.

One of the most prominent men
in the South is ]. Harvey Moore,
the well known eye, ear and
throat specialist, of Atlanta. DR..
Moore is a native Georgian,
whose ancestors figured promi-
nently in the early history of the
Southern States. His maternal
great grandfather, VIM. R. Ut
ter, built the turnpike road across
the Blue Ridge Mountains in
north Georgia. His paternal
grandfather, Burton Moore,
lived in Pickens district, South
Carolina, in old colonial days,
and served all through the revo-
lutionary war. His grandfather,
Thornton Moore, moved to IN
ion county, Georgia, at an early
day. His parents moved north
soon after the late war, and he
obtained his education in the fin
est institutions of Philadelphia
and New York. He graduated
in Jefferson Medical college,
Philadelphia, in 1882. He took
a special course in Philadelphia
in 1886, and another in New
York in 1888. He practiced his
specialties with eminent success
in Northeastern Pennsylvania
for a number of years, but came
to Georgia four years ago and
became professor of the eye, ear,
nose and throat in the old Geor-
gia Medical college. He is now
a resident of Atlanta, where he
has a large and ever increasing
practice, and his name is known
throughout the South.
DR.. Moore's reputation is rapid
ly becoming national. He has
had patients come to him in
Atlanta from nearly score of
different states; some from Texas
and Oklahoma and even from
Detroit, Michigan and Vermont.
DR.. Moore's wonderful success is
Strengthening cross eyes by his
new painless method, and his
discovery for the cure of granu-
lated sore eyes in a few weeks
without caustics or the knife, is
making him world wide fame.
Atlanta and the South are justly
proud of him.-Atlanta Journal.
What the Atlanta Constitution
says of him: FfAtlanta and the
south are to be congratulated on
having access to physician of
DR.. Moore's undoubted ability"

BRENNAN Market Eerort.

In their New Ooleans letter Of
Tuesday Fairchild & Hobson say;
Liverpool failed to respond ex-
cept partially ito our decline Of
yesterday and the difference be-
tween the markets has widened
instead of narrowing, as was
| generally expected. The market
seems to be without speculative
or spot support. There are two
influences which have to some
extent shaped the course of
prices, drought and rain, both of
these causes have been worn
threadbare. The rain fall in the
Atlantic States for the month of
August so far is 8 inches
against 6 inches last year and
clear weather there will no doubt
be beneficial to the growing crop.
The rains in Texas caused the
slight depression in the market
today. The cut in freight rates
from Texas also helped to lower
prices here. Dispatches from
Central Alabama report the crop
greatly improved by recent rains
and prospects for a full crop best
they have had for years. The
Government report issued to-day
is considered generally favora-
BILE, as rain has fallen in districts
where most needed. The spot
markets were generally lower,
Liverpool declined 1872 and mid
dlings here were easy at decline
of 1-8, middlings 1915.

SUNDAY NIGHT ROW.
Robert Henderson, Charged With Aggra-

waited Assault, Has Skipped.
Robert Henderson, a colored
employee at the oil mill, did not
show up for work when the clar-
ion scream of the ponderous en-
CINE announced work time Mon
day morning. Robert has
vamoosed and the officers are
looking for him and want him to
answer complaint of aggravated
assault filed against him by Sal
lie Lee. The woman claims that
Robert went to her residence in
Camptown late Sunday night and
made trough house" in very
short time. A liberal indulgence
in spirits fermenti had abnor-
mally developed his bump Of
destruetiveness and he was
spelling for a hight. The walls OF
his wrath were first directed
against the inanimate furniture
and of this he made kindling
wood and fragments. He slapped
the clock in the face, broke the
neck of the lamp, and dis
located the legs of several chairs.
Gradually he warmed upto his
task till the sport of making debris
of furniture and brio brac became
tame, and Sallie came in for a
share of attention. He slapped her
face a few times in playful sort
of way, and then in sterner
mood struck at her several times
with an axe, inflicting several
wounds from which the blood
flowed freely.

ESCAPED UNINJURED.
VIM ROehr Plunges Headlong from a

VIM. ROehr Plunges Headlong from a
Santa Fe Excursion Train.
Mr.. VIM. Roehr, a resident of
Pleasant Hill who took in the
Santa Fe excursion to Galveston
Sunday, came very near going
on a much longer journey for
which no return tickets are sold.
His escape from death or at least
serious injury is miraculous and
unaccountable. On the return
trip and when a few miles the
other side of Sealy while, stand
ing on corwded platform, he
lost his balance and fell to the
grornd. The train was making
at least forty miles an hour.
Fortunately for Mr.. Roehr he
landed in deep sand bed and
escaped injury other than few
bruises. He is said
to have been considerably the
worse for stimulants.

FIRST WARD SCHOOL.
General Dissatisfaction Prevails Over its
Lack of Central Location.

The action of the council
school committee in locating the
first ward school building at the
corner of Academy and Cotton
wood streets in the extreme
north eastern end of the ward is
not generally satisfactory. The
greatest dissatisfaction naturally
exists among the patrons of the
school residing in the west end of
the ward. Some of the children
in this locality will be compelled
to walk nearly a mile to get to
school. Some of those who are
protesting against the location
declare that none of the first
ward patrons were consulted in
regard to the matter and that the
council even took snap judge
ment on the school board. Others
will make application to the
school board for permission to
send their children to the Central
high school, on account of it
being much more conveniently
located. Had the council acted
with the same fairness that
characterized the board when the
third ward school was located no
kick would have been made.
Of course the council may have
been in possession of excellent
reasons for their action in the
matter, but until these are made
public the majority of the first
ward patrons will continue %
insist that their school ought to
have been located with more
regard to the comfort and con
venience of those who are sought
to be benefited.
The lots secured, three in
number, are 125x15O feet, and
were purchased from Mr.. W. A.
Wood for $3.50. The new build
ing will contain three rooms,
each 24x30 feet. The council
will meet Monday afternoon in
special session to receive bids for
the erection of the building.
