The stock of goods of J. E. French
i Co. merchants of Plains and who
failed recently, will not be disposed OF
atreceiver's sale on February 9th. as
advertised. On yesterday Judge Lit
tleiohn was advised that negotiations
were pending looking to a settlement
of the firms affairs, and acting upon
this information the court issued an
order deferring the public sale of the
stock for the present. The stock oil
goods, invoicing a large amount, is
now in the custody of Mr. r. S. Oliver,
of Plains, as receiver, and the sale
had been duly advertised by him for
the 9th inst. Inasmueh, however, as
there seems to be strong probability
of settlement with the creditors oil
the firm Judge Littlejohn orders the
sale deferred pending negotiations.
Several of the we'll known firms OF
Americas are among the creditors oil
J. E French & Co though this in.
debteduess is not large as compared
with some of the other creditors.
Friends here hope for an early adjust
ment of the affairs of this we'll known
house.

1t is interesting to note that the Pa

REQUESTS FOR VACCINE POINTS

An Atlanta special says: Governor
Terrell yesterday morning received
two requests for vaccine points, one
from Wilkes county and the other
from Macon county. The former asked
for 800 points and the latter for 200.
The governor ordered 300 points sent
to Wilkes county and 200 to Macon,
100 points having been sent to>the last
named county only few weeks ago.
There seems to be an impression in
many sections of the state that the law
requires that the governor shall furnish
all the vaccine points that are needed
to keep down the disease. This is
not so. The law requires the chief
executive to furnish a sufficient num-
Der of points to meet an emergency, SO
as t. bridge over the trouble until the
authorities of county can secure a
supply from dealers in virus. It is
presumed that in the rural districts
some difficulty will be experienced in
securing points promptly, and for this
reason the state lends its temporary
aid in supplying them.
