BRIDE HUNTING HER HUBBY.

Atlanta, May 8-A bride of only
four days, Mrs. R. F. Armant, of Mem
phis, wistful, fearful and rather pret-
tyy is in Atlanta searching for hus-
band who mysteriously disappeared
after a brief honeymoon that was all
sweetness.
Mrs. Armant still loves hubby and
believes hubble still loves her-if he
can just be located, which she is beg
ging the police to help her do.
She leans to the idea that Armant
must have left her in moment of
temporary insanity-suspectin that
the joy of finally winning her had
unbalanced him, and indeed, even the
hardened old sergeant at the police
desk was of the opinion that some.
thing must have been the matter with
the mind of man who would leave
such a charming little woman in dis
tress. If Armant reads this, he can
prove himself sane, but he must
come a-runnin'" for Mrs Armant is
about persuaded to swear out lu-
macy writ before proceeding further
on her search.

NC TRUTH IN THE 7UMoR THAT
THE ALTAMAHA MILL WOULD
SHUT DOWN.
Has Bought Timber to Keep the
Plant Busy for at Least Fifteen
Years-Doing Repair Work Nearly
All tire Time.

For the past several weeks it has
been rumored that the Altamaha cy-
press mill would SHUT down for two
or three months, but The News is
glad to say it has positive information
that the owners of the plant have no
such idea, on the other hand, timber
has recently been purchased which,
added to what the company already
owns in the territory, will run the
mill steadily for at least Is years.
Improvements are being made
right aIong and under the able direc-
ton of Supt Waring, the mill is one
of the best in this section.
The information was given out by
an official of the company at Savan-
nah some days ago that the company
has no idea of closing the mill for
even a month or more.

MAY SESSION OF
) THE CITY COURT
TRIBUNAL WAS CALLED TO OR.
DER YESTERDAY MORNING,
AND IS GRINDING AWAY.

The regular May term of the city
court, Judge ID. w. krass presiding,
was opened yesterday morning, and
will probably last two weeks or more.
1he only case disposed of yesterday
was that of j. f. du Bignon VS. Bruce
Wright and verdict, less $40, was
rendered for tire plaintiff. The amount
involved amounted to something over
$1OO. This morning the court will
take up the case of Kennon Mott VS.,
J. D. Hirsch, damages, and it is more
blan probable that this case will CON
sumo the entire day, as it will be hard
fought on both sides. Dart & Morris
represent Mr.. Mott, while Max Isaac
is looking after the. interest of Mr..
Hirsch. The plaintiff is suing the
defendant for $4,000 alleging that he
was reported and placed on the bad
account list OF the Retail Merchants
association, when, as matter of fact,
he did not owe him a cent, having
paid him small account before be-
ing reported.
The case Eas heen tried once and
Mr. Mott was awarded a verdict Of
ST. but his attorneys made motion
for a new trial, which was granted
by Judge Krauss. The case will be
hard fought from start to finish.
Tiie case of Lowe VS.. News Pub
lisning company, was continued for
the term.
