JAMES P. WELSH DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS.
Well Known and Popular
Young Man Dies at
Pine Ridge.

Mr.. James p Welsh died Wednesday
afternoon at the Pine Ridge Sanitarium
near Atlanta. He was one OF the most
popular citizens of Marietta, and his
death was a source of great grief to his
friends.
Mr.. Welsh was thiFty-three years of
age, and was at one time connected with
the Brumby Chair Company. In later
years he had been travelling for another
company, but he had to give up on ac-
count of the failure of his health. He
was fine business man, and possessed
great energy and capacity for work.
He is survived by his wife, who was
Miss Pearl McClatchey, daughter of Mr..
D. F. McClatchey. They had no chill
dren. He was a son of Mrs. Ellen
Welsh
His brothers and sisters who survive
him are Mrs. E. P. Swetman, of Slidell,
La. Mrs II. Groves, Misses Martha,
Ava and Lois Welsh, and Messrs.
George and Stanley Welsh, of Marietta.
The remains were brought to Marietta
Thursday, and the interment was in the
cemetery in this city.

JUDGE GANN'S HOME .
SAVED FROM FIRE.
Would Have Been Destroy.
ed But for Timely
Discovery.

Fire came near destroying the beau
Itiful home of Hon. ). NJ. Gam, Ordi-
nary of Cobb county, Wednesday morn
ing at eleven o'clock.
But for the prompt work of Mrs w.
d. Anderson, one of the neighbors, and
the use of garden hose by Mr. Gordon
Gam, the house no doubt would have
b9en burned.
Mrs: Gam has been away from home
for three weeks, visiting her daughters
in Jacksonville, Fargo and Arab. She
was due to reach home Wednesday
night, Judge Gam and Mr.. Gordon
Gam have been the only occupants Of
the house in her absence, except Pro-
lessor DnPree. They we're all away
Wednesday. A colored girl had been
in the house cleaning up, but she had
left.
Mrs. Anderson saw smoke coming out
at all the windows, and having key
which Mrs. Gam had left with her, ran
over, entered the front hall, and found
the fire was in closet under the stair
way. With great presence of mind she
seized bucket of water which was at
the we'll and making her way back
through binding smoke, threw the wa
ter on the fire. At that moment Mr..
Gordon Gam and Judge Gam arrived.
A lawn hose was soon playing on the
fire and it was about under control
when the firemen reached the scene.
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated.

PAPER MILL BOUGHT
BY THE BONDHOLDERS
The Bid of the Trust Conn
pauy of Georgia was
$2OS,5oO.

The Paper Mill property which in
cludes the Marietta lighting plant and
the water works system was bought in
at the trustees sale Monday by the
Trust Company of Georgia for $685.
500. At least that was the only bid
covering all the property and it will go
to the Trust Company if Judge New
man confirms the sale. He has the
matter under consideration.
Capt R. w. Boone has been operat-
ing the plant as Trustee in Bankruptcy
and advertised for bids. There were
several bids for part of the property,
but the Trust Company acting for the
bondholders put in the only bid likely
to amount 10 anything. The water
commionerS of Marietta bid So, 900 for
the water plant and Colonel Sessions
bid $4,000 for the 600 acres of land at
Soaps creek.
Following the opening of the bids,
Mr.. Ernest Woodruff, president of the
Trust company opened negotiations
with the water commissioners looking
to sale of the water plant to the CITY,
1t is said Mr.. Woodruff puts the price
at $50 900 cash aud $40, 0C0 more to be
paid in water Of which he desires 6OO.-
0C0 gallons a day at very low figure.
The water commissioners will make a
counter proposition, but it is doubtful
il any trade will result, the two inter-
ests are SO far apart. The waterworks
bids have been held up pending these
negotiations.
Mir. Woodruff says the new owners
will operate the mill. There is a pro-
position, however, to move the plant
to North Carolina.
1t is said that three hundred cars
would be required to move the mill
which contains more machinery than
all the other manufacturing plants in
Il e county combined.

When she attempted trip down
town she was often brought home in
a cab and would be prostrated for
days afterward.
"On the advice Of her physician she
gave up coffee and tea, drank Postum,
and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
"She liked Postum from the very
beginning and we soon saw improve

How Women Are
Educated in Turkestan
BY ELLSWORTH HUNTINGTON.

Dlsmounting before the uprolled
felt door of one of the round tents,
I peered into the smoke-blackened in
terror, and found an old white-tur-
baned "khoja" teaching three rosys
checked little girls to read.
"How is this?" l asked in Turki,
surprised at such a reversal of Mo-
hammedan customs. "Aren't there
any boys in this camp?"
ooh, yes," answered the teacher,
with shrug of his shoulders, "but
what can we do? We are poor. The
boys must be off tending the sheep
The pretty, black-haired little girls
were evidently a rich mans daugh-
ters, for the broad brims Of their
caps were made of imported fur, and
their shapeless gowns were of red,
green and yellow silk, woven in pre-
posterous fowery patterns. l asked
one of them to read where I pointed.
She did not even glance at the book,
but began reciting something as fast
as possible. 1t was the days passage
from the Arabic Koran, which neith-
er she nor her teacher understood.
That was the extent of her education.

Getting Even.

Joseph A. Willard was in friend s
law office one day when a client came
in for advice.
He said that he had hired a horse
to go to a neighboring town for ST.,
but when he returned the stablekeep-
er asked him for 81 more.
What for?" the client had asked.
For the ride back"
The lawyer gave some instructions,
which the client followed. A little
later he went to the stablekeeper and
asked how much it would cost to hire
horse and buggy to go to Salem.
Five dollars" was the reply.
The client hired the team and went
to Salem. When he returned he
came on the cars. He went to the
stable and paid the keeper S..
- Where is my horse and buggy?"
asked the owner.
I'm Salem," was the unconcerned
reply.
why did you leave them there?"
cried the keeper.
Il only hired them to go to

Internal Vaccination.

The head and front of the offend

fact that it introduces a living dis

Advance of Forestry.

The announcement that the largest
owners of pulp wood forests in this
country have applied to Chief Pinchot
of the federal bureau of forestry for
advice and aid indicates the advance
which scientific forestaJlon has made.
1t also suggests the possible work
ing out of the problem of state reg
ulation of privately owned forests.
There has been question of the con-
stitutionality of such regulation. But
If the value of forestry can be demon
strated so that private owners volun-
tarily subject their wooded lands to
the supervision of the state bureau
the end will be accomplished. The
action of great paper company in
seeking Mr.. Pinchot's services may
be followed by other forest owners

Illustration of Form.

James Ten Eyck, great oarsman
and great coach, discussing rowing
one day in Syracuse, said success de-
pended on form. He explained what
he meant by FORM, Then, by way Of
illustration, he added:
Everything, everything, goes by
form. Thus, out West in the old
days, 1t was the essence of form to be
informal. My father used to tell
about a squire who would marry the
young couple that came to him in
some such form as this:
Bill, do ye take this gal whose
hand ye're a-squeezin' to be yer law
full wife, in flush times an skimp?'
Name, do you take this cuss
ye've fined fists with to be yer pard

Philosophy of Forqetfulness.

Forget it, is the maxim of the
German emperor and the Governor of
New York. For a thousand bitter
hours to console oneself with one that
is beautiful" is the way William puts
it. Charles uses similar language,
with the game of golf as his text.
What is more delightful" he ex-
claims, than the memory of one
long drive and the forgetfulness of Il
thousand foozles!" Which is proof
enough of what Mr.. Hughes protested
in the campaign, that he was no
enemy of German ideas.-New York
