When Mrs. Gray applied to Judge Pen
dleton for the appointment of receiver
for the estate of Walker P. Inman, it
was vigorously resisted on the ground
that if the estate was put i'm the hands of
the receiver, there would be nothing left
for the residuary Jegatees, or, if anything,
a very small amount. Mrs. Brandon's
counsel contended that all Mrs. Brandon
would probably get out of her fathers
estate would be her fees as executriX. But
it has turned out that under Judge Pen
dleton's administration of this suit, and
the direction that he has given the mat
tiers. these two residuary legatees will
get smashing like $4,000 to $4,000 apiece
after all expenses are paid and all the
debts obligations and specific legacies of
the estate are satisfied.
JUDGE PENDLETON'S WORK.
This result has been largely brought
about by The very active responsibility
which Judge Pendleton has taken in this
case. Not only have orders been pre-
scented and received his approval in re-
gard to every piece of property that was
sold, but each application for leave to
sell has received the careful personal
scrutiny of the judge. He rejected sew
eral offers that did not meet with his
business approval.

offers were received they were submitted

Custer massacre, he having been a mem

while the FIVE companies under his COM

1t was because of his inability to return

NAPLES, Italy, Oct. 20.
Editor Journal:
Since leaving America two weeks
ago, 1 have not heard any news from
Georgia until today, and the only in
formation received today was an ac-
count, in European newspaper, of the
Herald-Journal automobile contest.
AS soon as 1 landed at Naples
bought the Paris edition Of the New
York Herald, published at Paris, part
ly in English and partly in French on
October %. This paper is the one
always desired first by tourists from
America, because it contains more
American news than any other paper
on this side of the Atlantic. This paper
is giving considerable attention to the
Herald-Journal good roads contest, as
is shown by the following facts:
On the first page, at the top of the
first column. appears the following in
black type:
"sixty-one automobiles leave New
York on the Herald-Atlanta Journal
good roads tour.
On. the second page two and one
half columns are given to an account
of the contest, including the names of
all the participants; also a large map
is printed showing the route from New
York to Atlanta.
On the fourth page appears an ned
itorial ending as follows:
The long distance automobile run
organized in the United States by New
York Herald and The Atlanta Journal
is calculated 10 shake local authorl-
ties out of their lethargy. 1t would be
difficult, perhaps to find a more repre-
sentative route traversing as it does

Will Conduct Kindergarten

The French Sisters OF the Acad-
envy, DESTROYS OF giving Marshall
the full benefit of their presence
here, have the intention to open in
September a class, where quite lit
tie girls o? five or six years can
commence to learn French. The
little ones will thus have the ines
Unable advantage o. acquiring
from their babyhood not only a
thorough knowledge of this Ian
guage, but the purest French ac-
cent, which will be impaired to
them by native Parisians. We con-
slider that this is a unique chance
for Marshall, and for the dear lit
tie ones OF the best families of this
city.
The class will be held daily, Sat-
urday excepted, from $50 to 10 in
form of Kindergarten, the lessons
being given alternately in English
and French in Reading, writing,
nature lessons, arithmetic, physical
culture, singing, sewing will be
taught so az to make a good foun-
dalton for later work, whether the
children continue their studies at
the Academy or at the public
schools.
In September the Sisters will like
wise open regular classes for ladies
or students who desire to learn or
perfect the French language.

Lake of Beer on Mars.

Lake Geneva, Wis, Aug: 2O,-The
delegates to the convention of the

some theories which do not appear

were these:
That there is q great beer lake
on Mars. One part of this foamy
sea rests against the ice and snow
OF the Mars poles. The other is
connected with the supposed can
ais leading over the continents.
That Mars Is the fat mans Joy

moon that makes the round trip in
