mercury was away down in the vicin-

been finely decorated by Jack Frost,
and the stoves were bits of Little Con-
solidated irony. The train reached the
viaduct and the passengers pulled their
caps down over their ears and took
fresh grips upon the brass rails to
avoid being blown into the river. At
last the hollow rumble under the
wheels indicated that the cars had
reached tho easterly division Of tho
big bridge. and a moment later tho
trolley man. knowing that he had regu-
lar passengers who alighted at Water
street, stuck his head into the trail car
and yelled: water" This was too

 Young Marvin was given the titles to @ generous share of the Atlanta property, on condition that he urge no further claim upon his fathers estate In a year or 50 after thiE settlement. Mrs. Bivins died, leaving her husband sole heir to her estate.
 And now, while still young man and in the prime and vigor Of life, the possessOr of large and valuable prop critics, Joseph E.
