that Thomas K. Hunter, the former audit
or of the Atlanta and West Point Rail
road, was on the steamship Kaiser Will
helm II of the North German Lloyd Line
which is due to reach New York on Jan
25 The cablegram was dated at Gibral-

NO TRACE OF wARNELL.
Missing Bank Cashier Has Not Yet
Been Located.

Been Located.
Tftop, Ga, Jan. 15.-Despite the utmost
efforts of anxious relatives and friends,
no trace has yet been obtained of Mr..
Walter S. Warnell, the cashier of the
Bank of Abel, since his disappearance last
Thursday morning.
He had the thorough confidence of his
employers and the community, and was
probably the youngest bank cashier in the
state, being only 20 years of age. He be-
gan work as assistant bookkeeper in the
Bank of Triton about three years ago,
and soon became SO proficient in his WORK
that when the branch bank at Abel was
organized during the past year he was
given the cashiers place, and performed
his duties with marked ability.
During the fall season he has had a
very heavy run of work, and was often
seen working on his books until ! or .
o'clock in the morning. He felt keenly
the responsibility of his position, and was
Jealous in the performance of his duties.
1t is thought that overwork, added to ill
health, caused a temporary arrangement
of his mind, as there appears to be no
other possible explanation of his disap-
pearance His cash is all intact and his
books balance to cent.
A slight clew was followed to Macon
by his brother-in-law, Capt. w. T. Har-
GREET, but no further trace of him could
be found there. He is 20 years of age,
weighs about 100 pounds, is feet 10 inches
high, has blue eyes, heavy, dark auburn
hair, fresh, fair complexion, with slight
trace of freckleS

Another Paper for Page.

The Swanton Courier has declared
for Mr.. Page for Congress from the
first district and Editor Fletcher in
his closing paragraph says:
AS representative OF the best interests
of the people Of this Congressional dis
trict this paper believes that ex-Gov.
Page possesses more qualifications for
the office of congressman than any can
didate yet named for that Office. Hence
we shall use our best efforts to the end
that Mr.. Page be sent to Congress.
This will be a material help to Gov.
Pages cause and early in the cam
paign we named him as winner and
have seen no good reason to change
our mind since. In fact, the contest,
to our mind. has been one between
Page and Foster ever since the first
gun was fred and the Courier's sup
port of Page is very timely.
