though but a little bit OF a bat
tie as compared with some of the Ii
tanie conflicts Of the civil war, it was
one of the most important of that en-

tary of the treasury delivered an adj

made this observation: If it had
been possible in those days to carry

What the Bishop said.

The Episcopal cleric now in New
York attending the services incident
to the observance of Advent yesterday
added another to the many stories told
of that kindly man, the late Bishop
Williams, who prior to his death in
Middletown, Conn.,, year or two ago.
was accorded the unwritten title of
Prelate of America of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, says the Mail and
Express.
Bishop Williams, whose charities
were as well known as his humor
loved good dinner and was not averse
to a bottle of good wine for his stom-
ach'S sake as an accompaniment" said
the clergyman.
ION one occasion he was invinted by
a friend of similar tastes to go on a
fishing trip. A single bottle of gener-
Gus size was added to the luncheon
hamper by the host. The clouds which
covered the sky when the little fishing
boat started were dispelled by the sun,
which shone hotter and more hot by
the time the fishing grounds were
reached
THE bottle of wine, attached to a
cord knotted about it's neck, was sus-
pended overheard in the water to cool.
Now as every skipper great and small
well knows, water is a great Ioosener
of knots.
Luncheon time found a very thirsty
Bishop anticipating the cooling
draughts from the suspended bottle.
With edibles spread upon the small
deck the wine was sought, but the host
found nothing but the ropes end.
" Bishop. that bottle of wine has
sunk to the bottom. If you will par
don me I'll say damn! What do you
say?'
" Considering the provocation,' said
Bishop Williams with a smile, L think
I'll say, Amenl'"

ADVERTISING A COUNTY,

The Stateboro News last week is
sued an industrial and souvenir edi-
ton. Its greeting states that the pur-
pose of it's publication is to present.
IN condensed form, the advantages
and resources of Statesboro and the
county of Bulloch. There is no doubt
that the purpose indicated has been
terprising publishers of the News are
concerned
The industrial and souvenir edition
is well edited, finely illustrated and
neatly printed newspaper, and makes
Statesboro appear to outsiders as a
city of $4,000 inhabitants, and Bullock
county "the biggest thing on earth"
Farmers seeking homes and invest
ors should visit Bulloch and its at
tractive county seat. The county cer-
'tainly has n salubrious climate, a fer
tile soil and many other inducements.
If home seekers and investors don't
find exactly what they want in Bull
lcch, nearby counties will be glad to
have examined the inducements they
offer.
The hospitable citizens of lower
Georgia always extend a warm well
come to visitors whether their object
is pleasure or business, and all Corners
are assured a friendly reception.
The Statesboro News souvenir should
be distributed throughout South Caro-

these states that appreciate best and
assimilate quickest, with Georgians,

asked the lawyer.
"Oh, yes" the butcher answered. II

Then all you've got to do is to send
the owner a bill for the stolen meat
You can collect it without any doubt. ="
Then Mr.. Astor started to hurry for
his train.
Mr.. Astor," the butcher called after
him. Mr.. Astor, that was your dog.
I'll send you the bill this afternoon"
