Agreeably Surprised.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Seal
were given a very delightful sur
prise Thursday evening by a
number of friends who called to
celebrate the twenty-seventh an
niversary of their marriage. The
affair was so quietly arranged for
that both Mr.. and Mrs. Seal were
completely taken off their guard
by the unexpected arrival OF the
party. However, both proved
equal to the occasion and receiv-
ed the guests and quickly arrang-
ed card tables for the evening s
entertainment. At midnight an ell
egant banquet was served and be-
fore the party took leave OF the
host and hostess they presented
them with a magnificent set OF
sterling silver tea spoons. The at
fair was most successfully carried
out and proved to be one of the
most enjoyable social events OF
this season. The guests were Mr..
and Mrs. M. A. Sybert, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. F. French, Mr.. and
Mrs. R. w. Brink, Mr.. and Mrs.
Foster Robinson, Mr.. and Mrs.
George E. Work, Mr.. and Mrs.

CHAPTER XIII.

1v.TS HEN Truitt arrived in the great,
AM bustling passenger depot in At
Vj lanta it was noon. He elbowed
l his way through the squirm-
ing mass of human beings to the street.
A dozen cabmen yelled at him and ges-
ticuiated with their whips, but he paid
no heed to them. Seeing a blue coated
policeman on a corner, he approached
him.
''Could you tell feller eff he'd be apt
to see the governor at the statehouse
this time O. day?' he asked.
"No; I reckon he's out at the man
sion about now," replied the officer.
Its dinner time.'
"Well, I'll go out thar, then," Truitt
said and turned away. 1t was twen.
ty minutes walk through the business
portion Of the city to the executive
mansion on Peachtree street, near the
best known and oldest clubhouse in
the city. The building was modern

the street on well kept lawn, and al

to say to Telfare."
The officer, with a flushed face,
looked from one to the other of the
two men, his inquiring glance resting
last on the white, rigid countenance of
Telfare. But the governor seemed to
have actually lost his presence Of mind
and could only stare blankly.
II jest wanted to ak you, Telfare,
how you felt about havin' the whole
thing writ up in the newspapers" Tru-
lit said in the pause. II know mighty

that a mistake had been made and that
he was overhearing private matters.

ELECTRIC LIGHT POLES.
city VIII Not Consider Contract Sub.
mittcd by Telephone Company.

Tho question of poles for the wires
OF the municipal electric light plant came
up before the committee on streets again
yesterday afternoon at the city clerk 3
office, T. w. Mooney of Rutland and w.
Il. G. Stckney of Bethel appearing be-
fore the committee. claiming to represent
the New England Telephone & Telegraph
Co. The attorneys appeared in an effort
to reach an agreement with the COM
mittcc whereby the top gains Of the
poles owned 10y tho company could be
used by the city but they sought to pro-
hibit tho city from using such gains OK
.Ccpt for wires which conveyed power for
city lights. They refused to enter into
a contract providing that the city could
sell electricity
This contract the committee would not
consider as they are determined that the
city shall be in position to sell electricity
for light or for power If IT chooses. BY
constructing its own line of poles an ad-
ditional cost Of about 5000 would be en-.
tailed is compared with the use of the
poles owned by the telephone company
The committee has money enough. how
ever to buid the line of poles and this
Will without doubt be done.
The members of the committee are very
pronounced in their opposition to the
contract presented by the telephone com
pany. The question of selling electricity
is one o! vital Importance TO tho city
as the plant cannot he made to pay unless
it is used commercially. AS it now stands
If nothing out city lights were supplied
the city would pay about $500 per year
more for its light than it is paying at
present. This of course makes the sale
Of lights and power necessary and an at
tempt to bottle up the city by a CONTRACT
which prohibits such sale will never b,
! recommended by tho committee
