DON'T KNOW TAX RATE.
Some Property Owners Send Checks
- Signed In Blank.

in the blank space and return them
receipts for the amount OF their taxes
In one or two cases sums in excess
OF the real taxes have been sent in
and these sums will be returned. The
amount OF money received so far this
year is more than was received for
the same period last year, but this Is
due in large part to the higher tax
rate.

MRS. MAVERICK IS
 ABOUT TO MARRY

Atlanta, January 5.-Samuel T. Me Cracken, southern manager of the Slayton Lyceum bureau, gave out an interview here tonight in which he stated that Mrs. Florence T. Maybrick and Charles l.. Wagner of Chicago, sec retary of the Slayton Lyceum bureau, would be married within the next few weeks, all arrangements for the cere- mony having already been agreed upon.
 Mrs Maybrick has for the past sev- eral years been featuring under the au- spices of the Slayton bureau, and ac- cording to McCracken Wagner has been enamored of her for more than year, imploring her to marry him and finally, two weeks ago, securing her consent.
 Mrs. Maybrick. nee Chandler, was convicted in England several years ago of personally poisoning her husband. a prominent Englishman, and was sen fenced to life imprisonment. Through the efforts of American women she finally secured her release on ticket of leave and immediately returned to America.
 Recently through Virginia court decision Mrs. Maybrick and her moth- CT, the Baroness la Roques, were granted title to q vast estate of valua- ble mineral lands in Virginia.
 Mr. Wagner is a native of Shelby vile, H., 3s years of age and unmar- ried.
