Trade was good. A good demand for

with outside buyers doing the bulk of

SOCIETY CARD PLAYING
Denounced by the Grand Jury of
SpaIdinE County.

Griffin, Ga, Jan. 29.-The grand jury
of Spalding county, which has been in
session for the past ten days, in their
presentnents condemned in very
strong terms the practice of playing
cards at social functions for prizes.
They passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, 1t is a custom among the
society ladies of this city to give card
parties at which they engage in play
ing cards, and that it is the custom
with them to give prizes to the best
players, and those who win the great
est number of games; and,
Whereas, They play for prizes or
things of value, they violate the stat
ute of this state; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we most heartily
agree with his honor Judge Reagan,
when he said in his charge to this
body that card playing was next to
dram drinking in its victimizing infiu-
ences.
THAT we suggest to the ladies of our
city and county that they discontinue
vice that is bringing sorrow and dis
tress to many homes and helping to fill
our jails and gangs with criminals
That the preamble and resolutions
be published in connection with our
general preSentments.

SAVE INDICTED.

Harry SAKE, the bookkeeper for the
Bear Ice Company, of Atlanta, was
indicted by the grand jury Tuesday
on the charge of larceny, he having
been accused OF appropriating to his
own use the funds of the company.
The jury in its general presentments
referred to young SaXe's case as a bad
example of the evil effects of the turf
exchange-Saxe, it is understood, hav-
ing lost considerable money at one of
these places. An effort was made to
settle the case out of court, but the
detectives who worked up the case
against young SAKE state that the
president of the ice company refused
to prevent the law from taking its
course.
