Seals for New Years.

Seals for New Years.
Buy Red Cross seals for New Year
greetings. The seals bear New Year as
well as Christmas cheer. Don't think
the sale of seals ends with Christmas.
The seals will be on sale until Janu-
airy !.
That is what the sellers of seals were
saying yesterday. and the words will
be repeated many times this week. The
belief that the seals are available only
for pasting on Christmas gifts and
communications is declared erroneous
by Red Cross workers.
Examination of the seals will reveal
that they bear New Year as we'll as
Christmas greetings, and it is planned
to make the New Year sale as large as
possible. With all the money collected
by the sale devoted to the fight against
tuberculosis, Red Cross officials say the
great white plague" is destined to re-
Ceive a solar plexus punch, right-arm
swing, and short left jab. all in one.
Washington boasts a big sale for
Christmas, but New Year takes the lead
for the number of seals sold. Large
business firms in the metropolis have
placed seals on every piece of mail
sent out. Totals will not be known
until after January l. All those who
have purchased the seals are being
urged to use them as an object lesson
to those who have not bought the seals.
"Newsfes" Will Fare Well.
All the newsboys in Washington, big
and little. white and colored, young and
old, will gather to-day in the auditorium
of the Central Union Mission around
tables grouped about a giant Christmas
tree, and eat, eat, eat until they can eat
no more.
While the good things are disappearing
and the fun is at its height, Rev Zed
Hetzel Copp, alias Santa Claus. will add
the finishing touches to the delight of
the youngsters by describing the home
for newsboys to be erected in Wash
ington.
He will tell of the gymnasium, the
library, the bureau of complaints, where
''newsies" can tell their troubles, and the |
other departments OF the wonderful new
club for the vendors of newspapers, |
which. Rev. Mr.. Copp says. is to be built |
IN the near future.
While he is talking the lads will re- |
gale themselves along the lines Of the |
menu: Two hundred pounds of |
Vermont turkey, crate Of cranberries, |
crate of celery, 90 pounds Of jelly, 300 |
pounds of potato salad, $50 pumpkin pies. |
20 pounds of cocoa, 800 quarts of milk, and |
1 crates of potatoes.

CAUSE OF INTEREST is
BEFORE The COMMISSION
Involving The Delivery Of
kilograms

A hearing of much interest to bust
ness men of Americas, as of other
Georgia cities is going forward before
the Georgia railroad commission just
now at which the telegraph cOmpan-
les are being called on to say why
the commission should not amend the
rules regarding the delivery of mes
sages so as to compel the delivery Of
Geographic dispatches within the cor
porate limits Of all towns. The pres
ent rule, while setting forth conditions
under which charge may be made for
the delivery of kilograms, does not re-
quire that dispatches must actually
be delivered. Officers Of both the
Western Union and the Postal tee-
graph companies are present at the
hearing.

FIRST CARS OF BLOCKS

Two carloads Of creosoted paving

This means that actual paving Of
the streets may be started by the Iat-
ter part of this week, or by Monday
Of next week at the very lates.
Rapid progress is being made by
the contractors in putting down the
concrete base. Superintendent HUI
son says that between 1900 and 49,
600 square yards have already been
laid, and upon this the wood blocks
will go when it is dry enough.
The concrete base is four inches in
thickness. Upon this will go a coat
ing of coarse dirt, upon which The
wood blocks vii be laid rapidly With
the concrete base and dirt thus spread
the work of putting down the blocks
will follow rapidly The whole mass
is then thoroughly rolled.
One week is required for the con
crete to dry thoroughly, and this pc
Rad will md next Saturday on the
first stretch of concrete base laid.
The greatest care is exercised n
selecting pine timber from which tina
blocks are made, hence the repectior

of lumber in Atlanta, the past week
The timber offered did not come III
to the requirements, and was rejected
by the inspector in charge.

piled for membership in Cedar Camp
No. 4727 OF this city. That in due
time his application was acted on fav-
oiably and q certificate for a $1,000

the time of his death October 16, 1910,
the terms of the insurance policy was

wife Of Henry Daerr, but that she died
on March 13, 1909. The husband then
endorsed the certificate and returned
it to the proper officers with the re.
quest that Louis Daerr, brother of
Henry, be made the beneficiary. Hen

An answer has been filed in COM

of Carl Schmahl vs.. Rosina Schmahl
The answering defendant says that
the plaintiff has at all times dressed
himself in the heighth of the modes
and fashions of the day, being tailor
and mems suit maker by occupation,
while he compelled his wife, the de-
fendant, to wear the coarsest kind of
clothes, made of cheap material. That
the plaintiff during all of their mar
lied life arrayed in clothes of the most
modern style and cut, acted the part
of a gallant, while he compelled de-
fendant to remain at home and take
care of their children, dressed in the
poorest kind of clothing and with the
cheapest kind of apparel.
She says further that the plaintiff,
her husband, is what is commonly
known as a sport" attends many
public gatherings and dances, always
we'll dressed, while defendant is COM
PEELED to remain at home to take care
of the children while he is flirting in
public and private places with women.
That he never invites defendant to go
to any places of amusement that he
attends, but has frequently to ask and
receive defendants help and ass ST.
ance to array himself in most modern
style.
She says further that the plaintiff
in 1909 ran away, wrote letter to
their son Carl, announcing his in
tention to leave and not return, and
the same was done to deceive and
annoy defendant.
The defendant says for one year
they lived on farm in this county

vegetables, marketed the same her.

used much of it buying clothes for
himself.
The defendant says that the plain
tiff sold the wheat and kept the mon
ey, refusing to give any part for the
support of defendant or their chill
dren. Also that she was compelled
to get an order from this court against
the plaintiff to compel him to assist
in the support of their children.
She says that by reason of these
things the plaintiff has been extreme
