Nothing In The Paper

Frequently you pick up the pa
per and after CHANGING at it, wear
lily throw it aside, remarking. "No-
thing in the paper this week" Did
you stop to think what that phrase
means? 1t means that in the week
just passed no misfortune has be-
fallen anyone In your community :;
that no fire has wiped out a neigh
bors worldly goods; that the grim
angel of death has not crossed the
threshold of friend; that 40 man
driven 10y hatred or fear has taken
the life of fellow human; that no
poor devil, haunted by the past or
mlsdeeds OF some other, has cross
ed the great divide by his own
hand. SO the next time you pick
up this paper that does't announce
tragedy, give little thanks in
stead of grumbling because there
Is no n9ws. Or, if you would ra-
ther, shall we dish up morsel of

Georgia Womans Dream Of
Marriage and Death is Truth
fully Borne Out.
Special To The Times Democrat.

Special to The Times Democrat.
Dalton, Ga, Aug. 2.-The dream
of a well-known society girl of
Georgia, in which she foresaw her
marriage and her death two years
afterwards, came true to-day when
Mrs. Chester Echols Dalton was
claimed by death.
As Miss Leah Dallas of Couley,
Ga, a town near Atlanta, Mrs.
Echols was one of the bellies of
the State, and had many suitors.
One night about two years ago
she had a dream which made a
great impression upon her. In
it she saw her fiance, witnessed all
the details of her marriage, and
then foresaw her death, and rea-
lized the time she had to pass in
married life. Shortly after her
dream she met Mr.. Echols, and
her marriage followed. Their life
was very happy one, but she ne
yer forgot her dream, and firmly
believed it would come true Just
as her marriage had. Several
weeks ago she was taken i'll, and
her condition soon became critical.
She believed that the end was
near, and predicted that the other
half of her dream was just about
to be borne out. She told her nus
band there was no chance for her,
and rapidly grew worse.
