Girl Went Armed.

Clayton Ga. special: Because
she had refused 20 marry him,
Samuel Algory, the son of a
well-to-do planter near h re >,
drew a knife and advanced on
Miss Martha WooteE, threaten
ing to kill her. The youn girl
warned Algory to stop but he
still advanced and Miss Wooten
drew a revolver and shot him
dead. The tragedy occurred in
the parlor of the Wooten home
in presence of several young
people. Miss Wooten and Algory
had been engaged but the girl
broke engagement two weeks
ago. Since then Algory HI
said that if Miss Wooten did not
marry him he intended to kill her.
Miss Mooten had been told of
these threats and armed herself
by the advice of her family and
friends.
When Algory entere d t h e
parlor he said: I've come to
marry you Martha. " can't do
it SAM" the girl replied.
Algory at once advanced with
the knife and Miss Wooten killed
him.

A Fellows Credit

There is probably no respect
in which the young man who is
trying to get ahead in a business
way should exercise grea e r
care than in the protection o f
his credit. This means first of
all that he should apply himself
and earn some money GA S to
establish his credit Later when
he borrows money he should see
to it that his payments are made
on time agreed on before rath-
er than after. And itas we'll for
him to keep in mind the further
fact that in lending of money
the banker not only takes stock
of the visible chattels and prop
erty of the borrower, his thrift
and industry. but the k n d o f
man he is and the reputation he
bears in the community. This is
where the definite advantage of
clear living comes in and it i s a
connection that should be empha-
sized and realized morefrequently
than is the case for with h e
banker it is al factor that is
kept Always in view. The fellow
who earns little and squanders
this and more cannot borrow a
shilling of any reputabls banking
house and the reason is plain
he neglects his credit.

Record Breaker.

R. G. Dun in last weeks Dun's
Review says:
The year now drawing to a
close will be notable for it's har-
tests, the money value of its
farm products being computed at
close to 100000, OOO-a record
figure. This fact forms the best
possible basis for industrial ad-
vance next year. While for
several months the volume of
production and distribution has
been below the normal, there
can be no widespread stagnation
while the farms of the country
continue to yield so bountifully
as they have during the past
eleven months. Moreover, the
government report issued this
week shows that the winter
wheat area sown this fall is the
largest on record, and that
weather conditions have impfev-
ed since the report was gather
ed. There is however, little
change in financial and business
sentiment, which remains con-
sentative and cautious. The
holiday trade is nevertheless,
opening up well, and certain i'm
portant centers of the jobbing
trade in staple merchandise is re-
ported as improving. The cold
weather has been beneficial to
most merchants, and the heavy
fall af snow is most seasonable.
