Caroline's aunt was named Patricia

in short golden curIs around hCr chubby
little face.
Then there was Il hat Of white straw

and so she waited until the last trunk
was unpa"ked and Auntie had almost

Wins

But mental activity is dependent for its success
making results, upon the way both body and brain
cells are fed.
Right feeding isn't matter of quantity-nost
persons actually eat too much But the selection of
the right kind of food helps wonderfully to make men
and women active and successful
The fact is some everyday articles of food are
SO lacking in certain food values as to make their
common use more or less menace to physical and
mental well-being. Constipation and rundown
physical condition are readily traced to this lack)

day by Mr.. Hiram Wade and was
bid in by Anderson Bros. Co. The

The regular price for this years
cotton is now twelve cents with the
price for last seasons crops slightly
higher on account of it being free
from moisture and therefore not sub
ject to shrinking in weight.

three seasons has been the first man

SOLICITOR DORSEY Of
ATLANTA WINS ON
C|RCUMSTANT|AL
EVIDENCE

Leo n. Frank, found guilty Mon
day afternoon of the murder of lit
tie Mary Phagan. was sentenced to
death by Judge L. S. Roam Tuesday.
The date set for Franks execution is
Oct, 10th but Frank will not be ex-
ecuted on that date as motion for
a new trial has been made by his
attorneys. Oct 4th has been set as
the date for a hearing.
If the new trial is granted the
case will have to be tried all over
again and if it is not granted Franks
attorneys, under the law, can still
carry an appeal for a new trial to
the supreme court.
If the new trial is granted in
either case and results in a second
verdict Of guilty the case can still be
appealed so it is not likely that
Frank will hang within q year if at
all. 1t is probable that the second
trial may result either in acquittal
or q mis-trial. Or q recommendation
for mercy of the court could be
made by the jury. In this latter
case Frank would receive q peni.
tentiarv sentence.
The verdict of guilty was received
with much enthusiasm not only in
Atlanta but all over Georgia. Fully
four thousand people Joined in the
demonstration around the court
house when the verdict was announc-
ed and Solicitor Dorsey has received
hundreds of messages of congratu-
lations on his victory.
1t seems to be the universal opin-
ion that Frank was guilty and that
was the cause of the demonstration
when the verdict was announced.

More Than One Thousand Families of
Cincinnati and Kentucky Shelter
ed in Public Buildings.

Cincinnati, Jan. 13.-With the tenn
perature at the freezing point today
il was expected by Weather Forecas-
ter Devereaux that the crest of the
Ohio river flood in the Cincinnati Dis
trict would be 81 or SO feet and that
this mark would be reached tomorrow
The river passed 81 feet early today,
marking the highest in six years.
More than 1000 families in Cincin-
natl and in the Kentucky cities across
the river have been driven from their
homes and have taken shelter in pub
lie buildings. Council is to be asked to
approve a $4,000 bond issue for the
relief Of sufferees, while plans are un-
der way to open free soup houses.
The Union Central Railroad Depot
is cut off and train service to and from
the city is being delayed. Fearing
that water will get into pipes and af-
feet the natural gas supply for the
entire city, the service for families in
:he besieged district has been cut off.
Business houses in the bottoms dis.
trict are in water and hundreds of
men are idle. Several street car lines
have been put out of service in the
suburbs.
