COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT
Government Distributes Thousands of SpeckIed Trout In Streams of Limestone-Protected By
 State Game Laws.

Athens, May 14.-(Specia1.) )-Mrs. Kettle Estes Witt, the beloved and popular wife of John R. Witt, one of the leading planters of the south part of the county, died at the home of her husband near Belle Nina yesterday morning after a brief illness. She was stricken with measles the past week. after nursing two or three of her children, who had the same disease, and being rather frail she rapidly grew worse until the end of beautiful and deeply Christian life came this morning. She leaves husband and several children a sister and two broth CTS, MT. Ed Estes of this place, a lead ing business man, and Dr. David Estes, a leading physician of the western part of the county. Her remains were brought to Athens and laid to rest this afternoon in the city cemetery.
 The annual commencement exercises of the Athens College for Women will be- gin this week. Bishop Atkins is to preach the commencement sermon. This will be one of the finest commencement periods in the 70 years of this honored old institution, which enjoys the dis tinction of being the second institution in the world to be chartered for the ex- elusive education of women. This fact Is not usually known, but it is true. The wesleyan of Macon, Ga, is the first col lege to be chartered for the education of women.
 The government sent here this week several thousand specllled trout for the stocking of the various streams of the county, and they were promptly disposed of, going to Sugar Creek and other fine fishing waters. Under the state game law it is possible that these may bring much pleasure to the sportsman who enjoys the rod and line in a few years, no more seining for the destroyers of our finny tribe in Alabama

The police posted watch CTS at the scene of the discovery in an endeavor to catch the men who might re- turn for the explosive, but the fact of the discovery leaked out through men going to the city from the navy yard and all hope is abandoned of arrests being made.

Attempt to Raid Egg Prices Fails
and the Commodity Makes a

Dull

The steady rains and the usual Monday
duliness tended to depress trading in pro-
duce yesterday. The abundance Of pota-
toes. even with only light receipts reported
kept prices weak and the only ray Of hope
in sight was that the continued rains would
prevent digging and thus relieve the mar
ket of its overstock There is good de-
mand for seed potatoes and sweet potatoes
though not abundant, are equal to the de-
mand -.
Eggs remained unchanged, although there
was a little attempt to shake prices by
liberal offers of storage grades, but the
market was not touched In fact on some
classes the price bettered a cent. The ces-
sation of rain is expected to cause de-
cline in eggs. The receipts however, were
liberal. 90.
Butter maintained its substantially and
the receipts were normal. The movement
in butter has been good for some time anu
is now expected to abate.
Poultry and fish are unchanged with
weak tendency in the former and scarcity
of small fish in the latter.
Fruits were dull and the movement as
appointing. Apples and oranges are active
In spite of an abundance. Strawberries
were plentiful and of good quality and were
firm.
