Wants to Locate a colony.

Governor Terrell received an inter
esting inquiry few days ago regard
ing the status of certain land on the
Southern railway in the middle south
ern section Of the state.
The letter did not state in what
county the lands located, but it
came from the Southerns railway
land agent, and gave the information
that certain parties are trying to To-
cate a colony of several hundred peo-
pie. 1t went on to say that these
people were hesitating about coming
to Georgia because they fear an ex-
cess1ve tax rate later on should the
state be required to pay any of its re-
pudiated bonds, and they expressed
the fear also as to questionable titles
to the land on account OF the fraudu-
lent land grants Of 1894.
The governor replied that there was
no danger as to an excessive tax rate
or account Of the states repudiated
bonds because the constitution pro-
hibfts their payment. All of the fraud
ulent land grants were in Montgomery
county and one or two other counties
in that section of the state, and It
can easily be ascertained whether the
tract in question has any doubt cast
unon it. as the result of those frauds.

At three o'clock on Sabbath

Lille Weathers was born Feb.
21st. 1901, her father and
mother died within five months
of each other in the year 1903.
On Sept. 18th of that year she
was brought to this home. She
was then only two and a half
years old; without father, with
out mother, without anyone able
to provide. With her came two
little sisters and one little broth
er, all older than she.
During the past fall and win
ter she lay upon a bed of sick
ness many weeks. From this
she was recovered.
About three weeks ago she
was playing in the yard, and
with child-like forgetfulness
went into forbidden quarter.

VIII Build Cottaues

The need for houses in Colum
bus has attracted the attention
of investors at a distance, and a
Chicago capitalist is considering
the idea of erecting several hun
dred cottages here which will be
rented to people who>are anxious
to come here to live. This gen
tleman has within the past few
years erected twenty five hun
dred dwelling houses in the
suburbs of Chicago, and now en-
joys a large income from the rent
al of these houses.
AS was shown in a recent is
sue of THE DISPATCH, the great
demand for cottages here makes
the investment very attractive
one. Nearly fifteen per cent.
can be realized, and there is no
other absolutely safe business in
which money can be veSted
where the profit would be as
great.

They Know Their Bible.

THE DISPATCH has been rub
ming little contests in this paper
with view of securing names to
solicit subscriptions from. One
was Biole contest; the other a
contest in Mississippi history.
The boys and girls of thus sec
ton under fifteen years old were
asked to guess the cook, chapter
and verse that the Bible verse
was taken from and also the an
swer to the question in history.
The answers indicate that the
young people of this section
know their Bibles better than
they do their histories. Thirty
three correct guesses to the BIZ
BILE contest were sent in and only
two to the history question.
The result affords an interest
ing study of this ma ter. The
Bible is book which is not only
taught the young but is kept in
constant use in every home and
no doubt parents and others
familiar with its contents assist
ed in the solution of the question
asked the youngsters. With the
teaching of history in the pub
lie schools and the study given it
by scholars and others whose
profession exacts of them an in
innate knowledge of this book,
little attention is paid to it. Boys
and girls memorize it when they
are required to and then it pass
es from their minds and is for
gotten. The result shows this
concluSively.
The winner of the History Con-
test will be announced in Sun
days paper and a geography
questio will be asked the little
folks which will give them an OPP
pOrtunity to earn a small pre-
MUM. Be sure and look for it

Cold Weather causes suffering.

THE DISPATCH is informed
that there has been much suffer
ing among the poor people of the
city during the recent cold spell.
There is no reason for any hon
est and thoroughly worthy man,
woman or child in the city to
suffer from either cold or hun
ger. as there are two Organiza-
tions here, the United Charities
Association and the Kings Daugh-
tiers, who are prepared to rem
der aid in any worthy case that
NAV be brought to their notice.
Several cases have been re-
ported to the United Charities
Association and assistance has
been rendered in each case. The
principal difficulty lies in finding
the people who are really in need
of help, as the most worthy OBJ
ject for charity are found among
a class of people who are too
proud to appeal to any OrganiZa-
ton or even any individual for
aid. Both the Kings Daughters
and the United Charities Associ-
alton are willing and anxious to
render aid wherever it is really
needed, and all persons who are
acquainted with an individual or
a family that is in distress are
requested to report the fact to
any of the officers of either of
the above named organizations,
and aid will be cheerfully and
promptly given.
The following is a full and au-
thentic list Of the officers of the
United Charities Association.
and any of these officers will
give prompt and cheerful at
tention to all cases that are
brought to their notice:
