promise to reform"
"And you are idiot enough to believa
himY
"If he didn't mean what he says.
would he shed teaisY
what are you going to do with
himF
LET him stay right here until his leg
is all right, and then I'll help him
choose better path. I've always want
ed to help some real wicked man to re-
form and to feel that he owed his ref.
ormatlon to me-"
'Well, l guess you've got your wick.
ed man right enough" observed the
doctor as he made ready 10 go.
"And I'm going to win his gratitude
and make good man of him."
"Humph! Well. go ahead, but l shall
have to look to you for my bill.'
The story leaked out, and the sheriff
called at Aunt Mary's and talked about
arresting the stranger, but as he had
committed no crime and as the woman
would make no complaint the patient
was left on her hands.
rhe man was tenderly nursed and
given every comfort and being young
and in the best of health, he was soon
on the road to recovery At the same
time, according to his own statements
and Aunt Mary's firm belief he was
also on the road TO becoming a much
respected citizen
Now and then the doctor or the hired
man took advantage of an occasion
when the good woman was Mt the milk
house to tell the patient that he was
fraud and scoundrel, but on the whole
the fellow had good time of it. When
he wasn't talking about his salnted
mother in heaven he was promising to
turn missionary and devote the rest of
his life TO the betterment OF humanity,
and Aunt Mary's heart was kept tender
in his interest.
One day there came a drover to the
Warner homestead, who bought cattle
and sheep and hogs 70 the amount of
$500 and paid the cash. 1t was on
this day that the stranger set a date
for his departure and shed tears of
gratitude. The hired man went along
with the drover to help with the stock
and at dark had not returned.
The stranger took the milk pals and
went to the barnyard, but returned
without them in a quarter of an hour.
He had taken the interval to saddle
one of the horses.

he came into the kitchen, where she
was washing dishes.
Il want that $780," he replied.
"You mean that you are going to rob
me?"
81 mean that I'm going away to be-
come a preacher, and want it to start
business on. l shall also take one of
the horses"
Aunt Mary sat down and looked at
him in a puzzled and bewidered way.
The money was In the lower drawer of
the bureau in her bedroom. The man
walked in and got 1t and was stufiing
it in his pocket as he came out.
'Say, now, but I'm much obliged TO
you-really | am-but you are SO dead
easy you know that l just can't help
1t. So long to you"
Half an hour later, when the hired
man entered the room, he found Aunt
Mary sitting with her head on the Ia

"Why-why, Mr.. Bell felt that he had
to go, and he also felt that he had to
take one of the horses and that $780,"

Few orders for alcohol are being given by AT
lanta physicians. Up to Thursday, Or more than
a week after prohibition had gone into effect, only
four alcohol certificates had been filed with the
ordinary of Fulton county.
Physicians have been charged with the re-
sponsibiliy for the drug habit and love of whisky
in mauy cases, and no doubt they have prescribed
morphine and whisky very often when some safer
remedy would have been as good But we are
progressing and the practice of medicine is keep
ing pace. The thoughtful physician does not SO
often humor the appetite of his patient to his eter
nal injury. The prescriptions of Rock and Rye
and dovers powders are not SO frequent.
Ifs few patients suffer for the want of alcohol
1t is not SO bad after all as the suffering from one
day under the alcohol regime.

Pun sos Fitzgerald or Pull Out
A FEDERAL BUILDING.

Some cities are founded on the hill Of good
luck, others work out their own salvation while
others have good fortunes thrust upon them.
Fitzgerald may be said to be in the latter class.
It cannot be successfully claimed that she was
born lucky. But more than once she has had
chunks of good fortune thrust in her lap
Suddenly and without warning we are about
10 have federal building handed out to us by
Congress on silver platter, with the compliments
of Senator A. 8. Clay.
fitzgerald has reached that point in her his
tory, growth and progress that entities her to
federal building; home for the postofice and 9th
q federal offices. And we had planned to present
our claims next year.
BY agreement with Cordele people we had ex
pected to keep hands off the postofice building
and concentrate our efforts on the soldiers
home project, while our neghbors put
In for q federal building, on the theory that
congress would not be SO ready to appropriate mo-
ney for two federal buildings in the same district
and so near together at the same session, nor give
Fitzgerald the soldiers home at the same time
we were insisting on postotfice building,
But Senator Clay seems to think differ
emily and we are with him. The good things can't
come too sudden and too numerous forus We
want the postofice building, and Senator Clay has
already introduced a bill to that effect
We are not yet to advised as to the appropria-
tion asked for, but we need and must have some
thing better than the average federal building for
city of this size. The unique character of the col
ony and it's phenomenal growth and Incompatible
prospects for the future, warrant the congress in
building here postofice and customhouse, pen.
sion offices and ETC., larger and more substantial
than the ordinary postofice building.
Senator Clay has acted on the theory that it
is never too early to do a good thing, and put in
his bill, and he's just the man to put it thro. he
did not wait to consult the editor of the Enter
prise but it suits us exactly. He will have our
hearty cooperation and encouragement

The captain had been i'll for
several days, and while his
friends hoped he would recover,
yet they felt that his age and
lack of vitality was against him.
He had been under the weather
for some time. and when he was
stricken with pneumonia about
ten days ago it was felt that be
would have a hard struggle, il
he recovered at all. His death
was quite a shock to the CON-
munity, as he was highly re-
spected by all who knew him.
He was a man Of generous i'm
pulses, a kind husband and an
indulgent father.

1881 in Vermillion county, ILL.,,

until 1862, when he assisted &C.
lively in organizing Co. A, 79tt
Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and
entered as a first lieutenant

the office Of captain, in which
capacity he did active service
until the end Of the war, when
he was honorably discharged,
After the war he returned tc
merchandising, and carried il
on in his native state. until 1869,
when he moved to Richmond,
Ind, and was engaged IN bust
ness there until 1878, when he
removed to Kansas, settling al
Cherokee, where he engaged in
the hotel business. In 1854 he
was married to Miss Margaret

of whom survive. They are l..

About twenty-five years ago
Capt. Price and family moved
to this city, and he engaged in
the hotel business here, contin-
uing in that business for sever
al years. He finally retired
from active business, and kept
out of it until a few months ago,
when he was appointed post
