TT is only quite recently that Vienna
has become an objective point to
- the summer tourists and yet the
city is one of the most handsome of
European capitals. There are several
cogent reasons for this one of which
is that Austria is the most expensive
country upon the continent TO live or
travel in. One realizes this Just as
soon as he crosses the Austrian Dor
der when the depreciation of the pur-
chasing power of money becomes glar-
ingly apparent.
Another reason is the haughtiness,

claiming $4,000 damages for injury al
legged to have been received by plain
tiff when a fuse which was sticking in
the ceiling of the caboose in which he
was riding in Pearl River County, Jan.

ing a wound from which a half gal
lon of blood flowed. Stringer states
in his declaration that he was a cattle
shipper, and on the occasion mention
ed was a passenger riding on the
freight train in which a carload of
cattle owned by him were being hauled
to New Orleans
The allegation is made that, in add
tion to the pain and loss of blood al
the time of the accident, the defend
ant has been a constant sufferer from
aggravating headache, which is due
to the accident.

The attorneys told of bad stretches
of lands through which the road oper-

were the only kind that would resist
the heavy rains, and that gravel was
scarce. They further said that two

LLGET,FAT-QUICK

WOMAN GAINS MORE THAN 45o

fat-quick records were broken by Ma
lissa Cooper, colored, who died last
night at her home at Grayson, Gwyette
County, this state. 1t took fourteen
men to put her in coffin.
She weighed 613 pounds when her
heart stopped beating, and the doctors
say she would have been as heavy as
a small elephant had she lived a
month longer.
Five months ago the woman appar-
emily recovered from a serious ill
ness, and then-she had never before
weighed more than $50 pounds-she
began to put on fat at the rate of
almost 100 pounds month.
She could be seen to grow fatter
and fatter almost from day to day
Her skin stretched and stretched, and
what kept it from cracking and split

At the last her neck was a yard il

Why she took on such prodigiou'
