A CAKE BAKING CONTEST.
An Event of Interest to the Ladies
AT r.. l.. MeIton's Store Today.

The cake contest at R. L. Melton s
grocery store today Wednesday,
promises to be a very interesting and
novel affair The cakes, of course,
must be baked with cottolene, and
will be judged as to their quality and
tensure. Cottolene is a product that
is fast superceding all other shorten
ing and frying mediums in the in
telligent housewives estimation.
AS butter is usually used in bak-
ing cakes it will certainly interest
the ladies to know that cottolene can
be used to the same advantage, and
is much less expensive.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS OFFICE
MIR. OLIN j. WIMBERLY EXPIRED
TALKING TO MIR. e. r. ORR.
Prominent Macon Lawyer Was One
Time Resident of Dawson, and
Was WeII-Known Here.

Was Well-KnOwn Here.
News was received in Dawson
Sunday that Olin j. Wimberly,
prominent lawyer and citizen of
Macon, died in his Office that after
noon shortly after IL O'Clock. Mr..
F. M. McNulty, a brother-in-law of
Mr.. Wimberly, left for Macon on the
next train.
Mr.. Wimberly was claimed by
death without any warning whatso-
ever. Seated in his chair before
a fire he collapsed while conversing
with Mr.. E. r. Orr, of Dublin, Ga,
also former citizen of Dawson, and
expired without word. Death was
attributed to a cerebral hemmorhage,
which was superinduced by tremen-
dous study and mental exertion
Mr.. Wimberly was 48 years of age,
and son of Judge James L. VIM
berly, originally of Twiggs but sub
sequently of Stewart county The
interment occurred in Rose Hill Gem
etery in Macon Monday afternoon.
Life went like the swapping of
brittle thread. AS he sat quietly con-
versing with Mr.. Orr blood vessel
burst; he fell forward into the arms
of Mr.. Orr and rapidly expired. He
was in a conversation relative to the
pardon of G. M Orr, for whom he
made one of the most stubborn fights
in the history of the courts of Bibb
county. A foot was resting against
the mantle, his hands were lying free
on his chair arms, and he had just
expressed a conformity of opinion
with Mr.. Orr as to che matter under
discussion when the foot dropped,
the body bent slightly forward and
he never again spoke.
Mr.. Orr tenderly raised him, tried
in vain to get him to speak and then
gave him a comfortable place on the
floor till he could summon a physi-
clan.
Marriage Followed Pretty Romance.
Mr.. Wimberly graduated from
Vanderbilt University, Nashville,
Tenn, following which he was for
one year professor of mathematics
in a school in Dawson of which Prof.
McNulty was principal. One of his
young pupils was Miss Birdie McNul-
", Il6 uduSnIGI Vi INC pIIuClpdl, anu
with her Mr.. Wimberly fell in love,
the passion being reciprocated. Out
of this charming romance eliminated
the marriage of Mr.. Wimberly and
Miss McNulty He then forsook
teaching and began the study of law
in his fathers office, and after being
admitted to the bar located in Ma
con.
He was one of the noted lawyers
of the state, and in all courts and
by members of the legal profession
throughout the south he was respect
ed for his pronounced ability and
deep learning. He was admired for
his brilliant intellectual attachments,
and for his answering loyalty and
fidelity to his clients.
Besides a wife, Mrs. Birdie McNul-
ty Wimberly, he is survived by seven
sorrowing children as follows: James
l.. Wimberly, Daisy Wimberly, Olin
]. Wimberly, Jr., Helen Guyton VIM
berly, Mary Wimberly, Birdie VIM
berly and Emory Speer Wimberly.

DAWSON BEST MULE MARKET.
Better Quality and Prices Better
Than Elsewhere.

Mr.. ]. P. Galloway, the extensive
planter and big merchant of Lee
county, has been in Dawson buying
mules for his farms.
Mr. Galloway, like others from a
distance who patronize the Dawson
stock market, was well pleased. In
conversation with The News he stated
that he had bought mules in Atlanta,
Albany and Americas this season, but
found Dawson to be the best market
of them all The Dawson dealers,
he said, not only keep a better class
of mules than any he had seen else
where, but that the prices range
lower for the same grade of animals.
Good mules here did not cost him
more than inferior ones did else
where.

anything for her.

feet. Instantly one of the terrific
wind-blasts struck his broad back and
sent him spinning for yards. He
brought up in a shallow pool, beside a
hummock.
Under the lee of the knoll lay Win
thrope and Miss Leslie. Though con-
scious, both were draggled and bruised
and beaten to exhaustion. They were
together because they had come
ashore together. When the boat cap
sized. Miss Leslie had been flung
against the Englishman, and they had
held fast to each other with the des-
perate clutch of drowning persons.
Neither of them ever recalled how
they gained the shelter of the hum

Blake, sitting waist-deep in the
pool blinked at them belignly with
his pale blue eyes, and produced the
quart flask, still third full of whisky.

The Englishman squinted through
the driving scud at the intoxicated
man with an anxious frown. In all
probability he felt no commiseration
for the American; but 1t was no light
matter to be flung up barehanded on
the most unhealthful and savage
stretch of the Mozambique coast, and
Blake might be able to help them out
of their predicament. To leave him
in the pool was therefore not to be
thought of. So soon as he had drained
his bottle, he would lie down, and
that would be the end of him. AS any
attempt to move him forcibly was Out

that Winthrope justify his intlmatlons
