come q Number OF Friend.

In response TO an INFORMAL INV
tation from Mr. and Mrs. b. +
Smith to come and est peaches,
Tuesday evening people began
20 gather with the falling
shadows. Easy chairs were placed
on the wide, roomy porch and
with the cool invigorating breeze,
agreeable company and the feeling
OF that rare southern hospitality
permeating all, the occasion was
ofa most pleasant and delightful
nature.
A contest called the Five Senses,
occupied the attention of the
guests. Mrs. Smith assisted BY
Mrs. Sparks passed around articles
TO be seen for only a moment
tasted and smelt; small articles
we're placed in bag to be felt and
the contents guessed at. for the
fifth sense, all kinds of sounds
we're made in an adjoining room
TO be guessed what they represent
ed. After this, the papers we're
marked and Mrs, H. B. johnson
was found TO have guessed the
greatest number OF articles cor
rectIy and was awarded a basket
OF delicious peaches. Harry l.
Jarboe, Jr., displayed less sense
than anyone, he was the BOBBY.
The many ridiculous errors
made in guessing Afforded much
amusement.
Large, red, lucious peaches,
Just plucked from the Smith or
hard, were served, also fruit
punch aud watermelon-and IN
this contest it would be hard to
say who was entitled to the laurels.
Mrs. Hancock Of Caddo, /. T..

NO JOKE.

Speaker Morris placed Representative
Stovall, the brilliant editor of the Sa-
vannah Press on the agricultural COM
mittee. Another joke Washington
Reporter.
Well, editors are always telling farm
ers how to farm. then why shouldn't
Editor Stovall have the opportunity of
his life to do something practical and
beneficial for the farming interests in
legislature? If he can solve the great
problem of farm labor in the south
and by some process lessen vagrancy
and get idle loafing negroes about the
cities to 60 back to the farm and be
producers of wealth and not thieves,
gamblers and drunkards, he will do
good thing tor the farm and his state,
and thereby help the tax burdened peo-
pie of Georgia to greater prosperity.

CALL A HALT.

A few years ago when the Supreme
court was increased it was with the
pledge that it would meet all require
ments of Georgia litigation, but seems
to have only whetted the legal appetite
for more office, and there is a constant
wall of over-worked judges, says the
Madison Advertiser. Now, we have be-
fore the legislature another bill Great
ing lesser branch of this judiciary, as
a relief to the Supreme court. There
is we'll founded theory that any sort
of sign board will attract custo-
mers, and so it will be with this new
court, but question is, does Georgia,
staggering under its weight of govern
ment expense. need such court? The
legal mind of Georgia seems to be
frightened with schemes for new courts,
for cities, counties, and what not. And
it is all TO relieve over-work of court
officers, while their is no thought of the
great and never ending struggle in all
other lines of business, where men never
get rest. 1t is time to stop the scheme.
There is too much of it.

Wednesday afternoon Nov. 18th at
1920 O'Clock, at the residence OF her
daughter, Mrs. Adrian V. Cortelyou,
aged 81 years.
She had been in failing health for
number of months and the best medical
treatment proved unavailing. She was
| one of the best women we ever knew,
ana everybody who knew her loved her.
She was happy in disposition and made
Others so by her unselfishness and kind
| ness.
She was member of the Presby terian
church and worked for the advancement
of every good cause. The Confederate
cemetery here owes much to her labors
in securing the beadstones to mark the
graves of the soldiers who sleep be-
meath the sod.
She will be sadly missed and many
hearts will be sorrowfui throughout
Georgia and elsewhere when the sad
news of her death reaches them.
The deceased is survived by her hus-
band, Mr.. M. G. Whitlock, and four
children. The children are Mrs. E E.
Malcolm, of New York; George g.
Whitlock, of Washington, D. c.; Mil
ledge Whitlock, of Rome; and Mrs.
Adrian Cortelyou of Marietta. Her
brothers are A. Y. Leake and J. P.
Leake, of Marietta, and George G.
Leake, of Atlanta.
Her funeral was held on Thursday
afternoon at the Presbyterian church,
the services being conducted by Rev. J.
H. Patton, assisted by Rev. G. T. A.
Pise.
The casket was literally covered with
beautiful flowers.
The interment was in the Episcopal
cemetery.
The pallbearers were Senator A. S.
Clay, Messrs ]. B. Glover, Joseph M.
Brown, Fl. M. Cottirgham, James W.
Legg and S. K. Dick.
Our sympathy is extended to the be-
reaved family.

On Tuesday night as Mr.. Lon Glore,
10 years old, who works at the Marietta
Chair Factory, was on his way to his
boarding house, he ran into telephone
wire which had been cut out of Col. r.
N. Hollands residence, and being a
dead wire, it had fallen across the cleo
trio wire and was surcharged with cleo
tricity. He was unaware of this and
grabbed the wire to push it out of his
way, Immediately he was thrown to
the ground and an electric current of
about 2800 volts was shot through his
body The fact that the wire touched
the ground kept him from beng in
stantly killed.
When parties reached him his cloth.
ing was on fire and his hands were
clutched to the deadly wire, frying the
flesh tC a crisp. OF course it was inn
possible TO extricate him until the cur
rent was cut off, and some one hasten
ed TO the plant near by and it had shut
down The young man was carried to
DR.. Nolan's office where it was disc0v-
cred that his right hand was burned to
crisp. The hand was Hmputated just
above wrist, The little finger and part
of the left hand was also so badly burn
ed that those parts of the han0 had to
be amputated. Dr. Nolan, assisted by
DR.. Tennert. performed the operation.
1t is stated that just ten minutes be-
fore Mr.. Glore became entangled in the
coils of the wire before the electric
plant had been started, some little chill
dren were playing with the telephone
wire as it hung touching the ground.
TWAS fortunate escape for them.
1t is thought Mr.. Glore will get we'll.
although hesis in bad condition.
