L
eta of a man in Atlanta who made
forty thousand dollars in cotton futures.
he received the check, and his wife
suggested that they buy them an
elegant home. The couple paraded
Peachtree street and the wife picked
out one that she insisted on her hus-
band buying. The price was $4,000.
That would not leave cent to furnish
it. So the husband concluded that he
would reinvest the $4,000 in cotton
futures, to make more money to fit it
up in grand style. The check was sent
back, ard instructions given as to the
investment. Cotton slumped, and he
lost all, and is now pennyless and
homeless.

Sheriff W. J. Frey had his left
shoulder knocked out of place Sunday
morning. He weighs over 300 pounds,
and in coming down frail stairway at
his home, two insecure planks gave
way, precipitating Mr.. Frey to the
floor, striking on his shoulder and dis
locating his,arm. The dedication was
readjusted by doctors pulling tie arm
back in its socket at the shoulder, and
he is now carrying his arm in a sling
and will soon be all right again.
