delegations from the two cities will
make hard fight to secure the

teld for the 1909 conventions OF
both the United Confederate Veter-
aus and the Grand Army Of the Re
public, with the object OF having
them meet simultaneously in that
city. Objection is made to this plan
on account of the fact that no city
the size OF Atlanta could possibly
furnish adequate entertainment for
such gathering as would be at

blue and the gray.

SAVED BY BIT OF TAPE.

Holding live wire carrying 1000
volts of electricity was the predica-
ment in which George Gouty, an
electrician of Hoopestown was placed
in the other day while repairing a
broken wire. equity had assembled a
pole and was in the act of repairing
the wire when some one at the
Hoopestown power house turned on
the current. The force of the cur
rent held the man to the wire, but
small piece of tape he held in his
hand broke the contact and his life
was thus saved.
Word was quickly sent to the
power house to turn off the power,
and when it was done Gouty fell
limp on life net that was held be-
meath him. He was unconscious for
a time, but soon recovered, and said
he was suffering from a severe head
ache.-Indianapolis News.

HUNTERS "BAG" RECORD ONE.
Big Game of All Kinds Shot by Ger.
man in Recent Tour in
Africa.

ii. Hieland, the German big game
hunter, who came into prominence
at the recent elephant kraal, has re-
turned to Colombo after months
shooting in the Hambatota district.
He secured capital bag, including
two elephants, two buffaloes, two
crocodiles, one leopard, one boar and
some snakes.
One of the elephants was rogue
and a tremendous brute, the meas
urement of its forefeet going to
show, according to Rowland Wards
standard book on big game, that the
animal was second in size for the
worlds record and considerably the
biggest shot in Ceylon. The ele-
plant shot by Mr.. Hieland was nine
feet high. The measurement of the
foot was taken after drying and be-
fore being stuffed with sand it will
be So inches; but taking it as 551h
inches it comes second in the list OF
Rowland Wards records.
1t was barely light, Mr.. Hieland
says, and owing to the comparative
darkness he had to go up quite close
to the animal before shooting, and
as it was he was not able to get good
aim. The first shot, however, was
fatal, but not instantaneously SO, and
the elephant charged. He stopped
the brute's progress with a bullet
on the knee and then he rolled over
dead.-Singapore Times.

NOT SATISFIED.

lNOI oAAh0EkEDs
One Of tie wisest men the world
has ever known said, oman born
of woman is never satisfied" and
we are very much of the opinion
that he was correct.
One year ago we began business
here with very small stock of
groceries, and nice, but old
fashioned soda fountain. We f.
CURED then if we could sell a GER
tain amount of goods the first
month, we would be satisfied. The
results were we sold more than
twice the amount we anticipated.
The following mouth we added to
our stock, our fixtures, etc., and
this second month showed an in
crease of sales of 68 per cent over
the first month. This condition
continued until December which
exceeded by far any previous
month, and we thought surely it
was impossible to get more trade,
however, to our surprise January
showed considerable increase in
sales over December, but still we
were not satisfied.
We have added to our stock un-
til we rarely have calls for any
thing in the grocery line that we
do not carry, and have replaced
our old soda fountain with one of
the very latest on the market; a
fountain which is rarely seen in a
town this size. But the town is
growing as well as we, and we
have always felt that the best is
none too good for any of our Gus
toners, and unless we have it for
you, we are Not Satisfied.
Notwithstanding the hard times
talk you will always hear, we are
doing nice business during the
week at present, and on Saturdays
we haven't the space or help
enough to possibly wait on every
customer as we should. And vet,
we are NOT SATISFIED.
To you who have helped us, we
wish to extend our best thanks,
and ask you to continue to en-
trust us with your orders whether
large or small. If you are with
the few who have not tried US, we
will appreciate trial order more
than you know, and until we Sc
cure, at least, part of your trade,
we will not be satisfied.

THE RECORD PRICE
 FOR J. s. STEEL
Otherwise There Was Tendency
 Toward Quiet in the Stock Market.

New York, Nov. 12.-Transactions in stocks underwent a decided shrinkage from the recent rate of activity today. The tendency at all times was hesitat- ing and market movements were eX- ceedingly spotty and uneven. Steers rise today to 56&, eclipsing by more than a point any price ever before touched in the history of corporation was a remarkable demonstration. Pre- ferred stock at 114 also sold at the record price. The lack of special news to account for the heavy demand for steel gave rise surprise that the larg- est interest in that stock was being driven to cover on such distressing terms as may be imagined from the excess of the price paid over that, at which any previous sales have been eff fected. A violent slump in the price of copper in London gave point to a suspicion of speculative manipulation of the market for that metal in the final advance.
 Prices of copper locally were not af- fected but the falling off is regarded as indicating that the immediate needs of consumers are provided for Cop per industrials were not conspicuous here for price movements in either di- rection although in London they were depressed by sympathy with that met al.
