Along the years. We marvel and we

Why life is life, and then we fall

Not understood.
Not understood! How triies often

Il The thoughtless sentence and the fan

Destroy long years of friendship and

And-on our souls there falls freezing

Not understood.
Not understood! How many hearts
are aching
For lack of sympathy! All, day by day,
How many cherries lonely hearts are
breaking?
How many noble spirits pass away,
Not understood.

CASE MAY BE TRIED
 IN MISSISSIPPI

s Jackson, Miss. December 12.-(Special.) ) The several officers of the Jackson Loan and Trust company, the affairs of which are in the hands of receivers, are expect ing to leave for Oklahoma about the first week in January. to answer the charges of fraudulent use of the mails, etc.. brought against them in the federal court of that state.
 R. N. Miller of Hazlehurst attorney for the officials of the company, does not like the idea of going all the way to Oklahoma to defend a suit that might just as well be heard ar home, and will perhaps make an effort to have the cause dismissed in Oklahoma and tried at Jackson before Judge Niles, the matter having also been brought to the attention of the federal authorities here.
 In view of the fact that the testimony will be just the same in one state as in another, there does not seem to be any good reason why the Oklahoma federal court should not agree to the proposition, thus sparing the defendants. who are among the foremost bushes and profess sional men .n Jackson, the trouble and ex- pense of such a long and tiresome jour- ney.

AT[ANTA|S ID
 PRACTICE ECONOMY
Chairman of Bond Commits sion and Auditor May Be Eliminated

Atlanta, Ga., December 12.-(Special.)- In the interests of economy two city of- fcals, now enjoying very satisfying sal aries, will probably be officially decapi- tated when council meets next for the purpose of considering appropriations TOT the next year.
 The two offices in danger are the cnalr- man of the bond commission, now held by Fletcher Quillian, and that of city auditor, now held by Carl Hurst.
 At the next meeting of council, 1t is said a movement to abolish them will be started on the recommendation of the salary committee, which has in its juris- diction the fixing of all salaries for city officials.
 It Is pointed out that the work Mir. Quillian is now doing Is very nearly com plete That the majority of the S3,OSo,O00 voted for a bond issue has been used and , that there is no necessity for the per- petuation of this place.
 It Is said that if the position Is not abolished at once an effort at least will be made to make it an honorary and not a remunerative one, the change being made in the interests of economy and not politics.
  Quillian, it is stated, but simply as desire to save money. There is another side to the case, however, there being those who state that the reason why both positions are to be hurried into oblivion is that the men who hold them were what might be considered by some "perni- ciously" active in trying to get the III fated compromise charter through. 2 In the case of the city auditors office there has always been considerable d. versity of opinion as to the value of the office and as to it's advsability.
 There have been those who pointed out that the work could be done just as well and cheaper for the city by employing once during every year some auditing firm to go through all the accounts and see that they were O. K.
 Hurst is the first man to ever have the job, and he has made good, but it is felt that there are too many jobs around Atlanta and that it was time to cut down some.
 Last year council, through it's finance committee, managed to increase the rev. enue of the city by s250,000 and then could not meet all the demands made upon it. This year it will be equally diff ficult in preparing for next year. There will be many who will come to the city money trough and go away unsatisfed.

INDIANS HELD IN
 MINNESOTA JAIL

St. Paul, Minn., December 12.-Two 16- year-old Creek Indians, Earl Daniels and Julian Wood, held in the Ramsey county jail, have become objects of international negotiations between the United States and Canada. They are finding it much more difficult to get home to the Creek Indian reservation in Saskatchewan than they did to leave last summer to join a travelling circus touring the British pro- vinces and the western states.
 The boys arrived here without money, in a box car. Bruce Walker, commission CT of immigration at Winnipeg, advised local officials to take the matter of de- portation up directly with officials at Ot- tawa.
 The immigration bureau at Washing ton has been appealed to and orders are expected authorizing the deportation of the boys.

Chattanooga, Tenn. December 12.-(Spe- cial. )--Instead of the National Red Cross Christmas seal which is being sold else- where throughout the country, the local anti-tuberculosis association is selling a stamp of it's own design, thus gaining the entire proceeds of the sale instead of 75 per cent which is the case when the national seal is vended.
