Home should be a world Of strife
shut out; world of love shut in.
Be courteous in the home. HuS-
band. treat your wife like a lady in
the home as we'll as on the street.
If YOU want your boy to be a little
gentleman" when he is away from
home, he must have example as well
as precept in the home. Example
will do more for the boy and the
girl than any book on rules OF Ell
quette.
1t does not make any difference
whether you own your house or
home. or but one little room in that
house, YOU can make that little room
a home to you. You can furnish
it with such beautifyln8 thoughts,
YOU can turn to it with such sweet
fancies, that it will be fairly luml-
nous with your presence, and will be
to you the very perfection of home.
Don't forget that nine-tenths OF the
happiness you will ever have, you
will get it at home. We talk about
being independent, but the indie
pendence that comes to man when
his work is over, and he feels that
he has run out of the storm into the
quiet of the harbor of home where
he can rest in peace with his family,
is an independence that is real

Governor Wilson To

Atlanta, March 26.-The political

the state in the light Of recent de
velopments. AS a matter of fact.

because Georgia is his old his Old

The Largest Trust Company

Atlanta, March 25-The largest
piece of trust company business III
Georgia has just been put through
here. The Hillyer Trust Company
has been appointed registrar and
transfer agent for the fifteen million
dollars of common stock, two mil.
lien dollars Of first preferred stock,
and ten million dollars Of second
preferred stock Of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company-maklng
twenty-seven million dollars in all.
Certificates representing the va
rious clauses of stock, which were
delivered Monday, bear the counter
signature of the Hillyer Trust Com
pany, by William Hurd Hillyer, vice
president
The fact that an Atlanta trust
company was selected to register the
transfers of the giant corporation,
rather than an eastern institution, as
has hitherto been the custom with
companies of this size, is regarded
as a striking indication of the esteem
in which southern financial inStltu-
tons are now being held by eastern
and foreign capitalists
