Exchange Bank Directors

The shareholders of the Exchange
National Bank held their annual
Meeting Tuesday, January, 9th.
for the election of directors, and re-
ceiving report covering the opera
tons for 1911.
The following directors we've
elected;
R. V. Bowen, w. r. Bowen, E. T.
James, H, M. Warren, W. T. Paulk,
L. O. Tisdel, j. E. Turner, NJ Dick
son, J, D. Dorminy, I. S. Price, J. H.
Dorminy, E. G. ChambIess, L. Ken
nedy and J. J. DOrminy.
A report published elsewhere IN
this issue shows that 1911 was the
best year in the banks history, and
from this report, we come under
the impression the institution
stands cut very conspicuously as a
helper and developer in this terri
tory. These directors have not yet
met to elect their officers for the
ensueing year.

Orser-ParsonS

The many friends of Miss Mae
Orser and Mr.. Arthur Parsons were
given quite a surprise when it was
made known that these popular
young people were married on the
9TH of last August, and have, for
nearly five months, been getting
lot of amusement out of the fact
that they were keeping the mar
riage secret, and, at the same time,
keeping their friends guessing as to
when it would take place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons, it seems,
are both of a romantic tempera-
ment, and last summer, while on
picnic at BoWen's Mill. decided to
be married under the canopy of
oaks, in the presence of the small
but merry party of friends. Judge
Harvey, with licence, was promptly
summoned over the phone, and on
his arrival at the woodland scene
of festivities at once proceeded to
tie the knot that made these two
as one.
Then the Judge, as we'll as the
rest of the merry picnic party, was
bound over to secrecy and only yes
terday the marriage was made pub
lie. Those who we're present at the
marriage were Mr.. E. A. Arnold,
Misses Minnie and Fannie Parsons,
and Mrs. w. B. Forbes of Newton,
Ga.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons will make
their home at present at their farm
near Abbeville.

Globe Circled By
Letter In 40 Days

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 9-William Lay
man, of Topeka, has letter written
by himself and addressed to him.
self that went entirely around the
world and returned to the writer in
l40 days. Mr.. Layman formerly
lived in Foster, Mo-, and one rainy
day the scheme to send a letter
around the world came to him and
he set out to see if it could be done,
and how long it would take. He
wrote the letter and dropped it in
the mail box April S last 1t was
addressed to William Layman, Care
Town, South Africa. 1t was an Or
binary looking letter, and in tie
upper left hand corner appeared
these directions:
If not called for in three days
send to Hongkong, China.
2.-If not called for at Hongkong
forward to San Francisco, CAL, U.
S. A.
3.-If not called for at San Fran
cisco in five days forward to Foster,
Mo.
The letter was written to explain
its mission The letter itself said:
Il have started this letter on a
rather long journey to see if its
journey around the world can be
accomplished. Should any one in
these far off countries possess the
name addressed | should like to cor
respond with him as this name is
| my own.
Trusting this will make the trip
and awaiting its return, | am very
truly,
WILLIAM LAYMAN."
The letter is covered with post
marks. Its trip around the world is
shown by these postmarks: Foster,
Mo-; Cape Town, South Africa; Cape
Good Hope, Hongkong, San Francis
co and Foster, Mo.
After mailing the letter, Mr.. Lay
man went from Foster to Mound
City, Kan, and the letter was re-
turned to hin there. Mr.. Layman
came to Topeka three weeks ago.

Promised to Marry
Him in Stripes

Atlanta, Jan. 11-Governor Sla-
ton has just signed the pardon for
Jim Hickey, the convict at Athens
who was sent up for robbery from
Lounde county III 1905, and who
now wants to get out so he can
marry the girl he fell in love with
at Athens while he was wearing
the convict stripes. 1t seems she
returned his affection and agreed to
wait until the shackles could be
filed off
But that isn't the reason Cover
nor Slaton pardoned him. He has
no objection to helping Cupid but
he isn't in the matchmaking bust
ness His real reason fOr granting
the pardon was that a good
deal of evidence has been brought
to light since the conviction of
Hickey tending to show that he
wasn't guilty at all, that he was
simply the wrong man.

Probably the quietest election in

in this county. The polls were

Of course it was merely a formal
endorsement by the voters of the
State Of the nomination of the
democratic candidate on the 9TH
day of December, and of course
one hundred votes we're as good as
a thousand to all practical intents
and purposes.

WattersOn's Speech
Endorsed By Ministers
Evangelical Association Particu-
cularlY Liked What He Said
About Personal Honor

The Evangelical Minister'S asso-
citation of Atlanta has passed the
following resolutions indorsing the
utterance of Col. Henry Waiter
son on world peace and personal
honor:
Whereas the Hon. Henry Wat
terson in his able and inspiring
address recently delivered in this
city in advocacy OF international
peace, did also affirm his confidence
in the prin cipal Of settlement of
personal disputes between gentle
men by means other than the
code duello, Or any form of person
al encounter, therefore,
BE it resolved, CD That we, the
Evangelical Ministers association
of Atlanta do hereby extend our
thanks and congratulations to the
Hon. Henry Watterson upon his
address in advocacy Of peace.
Resolved, that while we ac-
knowledge with profound gratitude
to the Giver of all good the great
progress in this regard has been
made, yet, having especially in
view the boys and young men of
our city and state, we deplore the
continued Survival amongst us Of
false notions of manly honor, as is
shown by the carrying of concealed
weapons, by personal encounters
by personal abuse, elimination and
recrimination; and we call upon all
Christian men and women, upon
all who stands for things, to help
create, when it is needed ard to en-
COURAGE wherever it exists a whole
some state of public opinion that
will endorse and promote the
settlement of personal disputes by
proper tribunals or by arbitration,
and shall strengthen belief in the
manliness of rectitude and faith
in the power of the simple truth
to make its way and win its course

%county to learn the kind Of soil on
which they are locsted, as well as

recent cooperation between the
Bureau of Soils of the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
Georaia State College Of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts.

analyses of the soil types found in
the survey will be made and the re-
suits published. Test plats for fer
tilizer treatment and cultural meth

on various soils for" the benefit OF
the county

To thin and weak Geo. W. Stansfeld
druggist has a wordito say. Let them
use Samose, the wonderful flesh-form-

they will soon be plump and rosy.
Samose is not an ordinary medicine;
it is a flesh forming food that is adapt

feet gives strength and health so that
after its use for a. short time, all the
flesh and fat producing elements in the
food will be easily assimilated and re-
tanned by the body.
The large sale Druggist Stans7e1d.
632 Kansas avenue. has had on Samose
since he first introduced it in Topeka
and the wonderful results following
its use have made him such an enthu-
siastic believer in its great merits,
that he gives his personal guarantee TO
refund the money if Samose does not
make thin people fat and restore
strength and health
When a gain in weight is noticed
after Samose has been used for a week
or ten days, and health has improved
and you notice yourself growing
stronger. you certainly should feel more
than satisfied with what you have re-
ceived from the small cost of Soc

CAN'T FIND POISON SOURCE.
Investigation Ends When All Foods
Have Been InsDected.

Leavenworth Kan. Jan. 19.-AH er-
forts of the Soldiers Home authorities TO
ascertain from what source the recent
ptomaines poisoning came have proved
unavailing. and it has been practically
admitted that the investigation had been
abandoned.
Microscopic examinations have been
made of everything having to do with the
morning meal which is thought to have
done the mischief, but evidence of
ptomaines were found. Even the ladies'
and spoons used in the kitchen that
morning were subjected to minute 1nspec-
ton as also were the huge pots in which
a considerable portion of the meal was
prepared.
The hash, held to blame by some for the
trouble has been analvzed numerous
times and always by different chemists,
but it was innocent of containing the
dread poison. The milk, butter and even
bread came in for their share of the In
vesti cation.
