ELLW0OD WAS FAMOUS
AS AN AUCTI0NEER

CHICAGO. Sept. 12.-The death last
night at his home in DeKalb of Col.
Isaac L. Ellwood. pioneer barbed wire
manufacturer, has revived many stories
OF his early life in Illinois.
At a time when the middle west was
famous for it's auctioneers, Isaac ELL
wood was the most successful of them
all. 1t was said of him that in his prime
he could sell anything that the buyer
could carry away.
His first business venture was the hard
ware store which he opened in DeKalb.
After the store got so that IL could run
itself, with the assistance of a couple of
clerks. the young hardware man entered
the then paying profession Of auction
eering. 1t is said that his reputation be-
came so great that the farmers and
business men within a radius of $50 miles
of his store would send for him to handle
their auctions.
During his boyhood in Montgomery
county, y. Y, he drove a mule on the
Erie canal. For this work he received
$40 per month.
His fortune is estimated at between
five and six million dollars.

names were not born to die.
To the sacred memory of our Confed-
crate dead we should erect an appropri-
ate monument Into the fund that win
be raised for this purpose every man
and woman, boy and girl, should con-
tribute literally in loving remembrance
of those who gave up all save honor in
defense of their homes and f1resides; and
for the purpose of erecting a suitable
monument to the Confederate dead, it is
both my pleasure and my privilege to
contribute SIS today.
The years will come and go, and with
their passing, we, too, shall drop our
burdens and go to our final rewards, but
the monument which we shall erect here
in Jefferson shall forever remain as
testimonial Of our undying love and adj
miration for the Confederate soldiers Of
this county, and generations yet unborn
will come and stand with uncovered
heads beneath it's shadow and realize
that richer, by far, than all other her
itages they possess, is the kinship wi9h
these valiant men, who in the years of
long ago by their matchless bravery and
undying devotion to truth, wrote their
names among those that were not born
to die"

EXPERTS DEVISE PLAN

Directions Are Simple and
May Easily Be Followed

a bulletin has been issued by the de-

and it is believed by government experts
that If the plan they have devised is fol-
lowed the rate of infant mortality will
be materially decreased.
Following is the method they have
worked out for pasteurizing milk:
Always buy the milk IN bottles, thus
obviating the danger of contamination in
pouring 1t into an open receptacle.
Take the pie pan, punch ii full of holes
and insert it in the bottom of the pail
Fill the pail with water and place the
bottled milk in il, first placing an accur-
ate Thermometer in one bottle of milk.
Boil until the milk is at a temperature
OF not less than $50 degrees nor more
than 155 degrees.
Take the bottles out of the water;
place a teacup over the bottle that has
been opened in order to insert the Their
mometer and then wrap a towel around
the bottles to prevent cooling too rapidly.
II this method os followed, according
to L. a. Rogers, the expert bacteriolo-
gist who has outlined the pan. and the
ordinary care is taken in cleanliness
and in keeping the flies away, the milk
will be absolutely free of germs. The
method has been found just as effective
as the elaborate pasteurization processes
by machinery. -

WANTS BIC FAIR HELD
TO BRING IN VISITORS
President Paxon, of Chamber
of Commerce, will Be Asked
to Call Meeting

Beaumont Dawson. the originator OF
the movement to have fair in Atlanta
of sufficient magnitude to attract atten-
ton the country over. has not by any
means abandoned his plans.
With that end in view he will in the
next few days ask +. ]. Paxon, president
Of the Chamber of Commerce, to call a
meeting of members of that body and
business men generally to consider the
question.
At that meeting ways and means will
be discussed. The time for holding the
fair will be taken up and perhaps a work
ing committee named to start things on
their way.
No suggestion for a public movement
has ever found more favor with bust
ness men of Atlanta than the one coming
from Mr.. Dawson. Along Whitehall and
Peachtree streets, Marietta street and
Mitchell street have come unqualified en-
dorsements from merchants in every
branch of trade.
On Whitehall, Peachtree and Mitchell
streets this is particularly true.
In a number of interviews printed in
The Journal at the time Mr.. Dawson S
lanta merchants declared nothing did
their business so much good as a fair
of real worth and magnitude. All were
united in the assertion, however, that a
small fair would be worse than none and
for that reason all declared in favor of
something that would be on a big scale.
Mr.. Dawson has been out of the city
for several weeks, but now that he is
back will enter into the spirit of the
proposition with renewed zeal.
People who come to Atlanta from a
great distance" says Mr.. Dawson, do
not come to patronize the retail merchant.
They get what they need before leaving
home, but take the people who come here
from a radius of a hundred or two miles
and then We get business.
Atlanta has had many meritorious at
fractions and all of them have been of
benefit. In my opinion, however, a fair,
of the proper kind, is the best business
bringer we can have. l have no sugges-
tons to make as to the time of holding
the next fair nor of the place for holding
it. Those things should be determined
on after a general consultation of bust
ness men, but / will ask Mr., Paxon to
call a meeting in order that we may get
together and go over the situation"
