DALNY BEFORE THE WAR

An American visitor to the Manchur-
Ian port Of Dalny writes. In the Chi
cago Record Herald. his Impressions
to the port as 1t appeared late last fall:
Where the Japanese camps were In
1894 permanent Russian barracks have
been built, and on all the heights are
evidences Of the recent construction Of
batteries and land defences-M. de

absorbing as many millions Of rubles

AS we warped In beside the sea wall
only Chinese were in sight-hundreds
and thousands Of coolies, In blue cot
ton clothes, employed on every kind
Of public works and harbor improve
,ments. It looked for the moment as
II the Russians had really evacuated
Manchuria and the Chinese had como
into their own again. Top boots and
belted blouses finally appeared, and,
later, uniforms and fat-topped caps.
Construction trains and gravel trains
ran here and there across the sere and

Mrs. Leo L. Gardner.

Miss Louise Stein was born in
Baltimore, Nd, April rs, 1876,
and lived in that city until 1890,
when she moved to Chicago, ILL.,,
where she was married to Leo l..
Gardner in 1894.
Mrs. Gardner was a woman of
refinement and ability, and was
her husbands associate in bust
ness from the time of their mar
rage till they came to Fitzgerald
FIVE weeks ago.
Wishing to retire for a time
from the annoyances of CONNER
cial life, Mr.. Gardner purchased
a suburban place, and prepared
to enjoy a country home. But
this pleasant dream was destined
to be short. On Wednesday,
April 18th, Mrs. Gardner fell i'll,
and on the following Monday
morning she breathed her last,
leaving to mourn her loss, a hus-
band and four children: Sophia,
aged eight years; Willie, six
years; Leo four years; and Char
ley, aged sixteen months. Be-
sides these she has brother and
sister in Baltimore.
Though she has been among
us only short time, her true
worth and sweet woman1iness
had won for her many friends
who realize that the world has
lost that most priceless of jewels
"a good woman.
Oh, sweetly rest, dear sainted wife
Thy task on earth is DER.
A few short years you blessed my life,
Then iourneyed on before.
Our babies play around my knee;
Their little faces beam.
But your dear form no more 1 see, -
1t must be ''just a dream"
The lowly tomb whose narrow gate
Has closed 'twixt you and
Shall ope, and you will wait
My coming, by and by.

in the treasury without cutting
our regular expenditures down
enc dollar.
But if the taxpayers offer 1
per cent on their assessments it
would not be human nature to re-
fuse it! Sec?
What are we going to do
about ito? is the leading question.
What did they do about it in 9TH
err towns which had similar ex-
periences? Amend their charter,
making property returnable
same as for county and state
taxes and subject to same regu-
lations. This plan is in vogue in
nearly every town and city in the
south and puts an end to the tax
devil" at once. Estimating the
returns" on this plan at say
$5OO,000 would put $4,000 into
the treasury, that is. just that
much more than the city needs
except for economical" pur-
poses! See?
For the same reason the city
clerk and assessors Offices were
abolished, though the council
evidently had no right to do so,
as it is in direct violation of the
charter. We should have city
clerk. We will be that much
safer, at any rate. See?
In conclusion would say that if
any of the facts and figures here
in given are incorrect, let it be
shown and we will stand cor
rected." We claim the right,
las 1T IS, indeed, the duty) of
every citizen to criticize the acts
of those in Office. They are in
law the peoples servants, and as
such must give a full account of
their transactions.

CORBETT & CO. BUY
BIG TRACT TIMBER,

The friends of Mr.. Corbett in
this city will read with interest
the following account of his bust
ness transactions;
"Messrs. Il. J. Corbett & Co.
have just closed a deal with Mr..
c. A, Afford, of Willingham, by
which the former comes into
possession of $4,000 acres of fue
timber lands and the large saw
mill operated by Mr.. Afford at
Willingham. The deal re-
presents the sum of $4,000.
The mill will be moved to
Carlisle, as the junction of the
Georgia Northern railroad aud
the new railroad that is being
constructed by Mr.. Afford,
which will run from Camilla to
Ashburn. The capacity of this
mill is $4,000 feet daily, and it
will require nine years at this
rate to cut the timber just pur-
chased.
