at Hiuevile, where the judge on the
bench and several court officials were

The farewell of the lovers who had
known each other from childhood, was
pathetic in the extreme Miss WISER
brought her wedding gown to the peni-

been severely "stung."
Beacham, they said, had squandered
the burial money on near-beer and in

Relatives Of the woman, who died
suddenly Sunday night and for whose

to solicit money for any such purpose;
that they were perfectly able to pay all
expenses. and no help had been asked.

State Treasurer Can Collect
This for Failure to File
Statements.

Should the state treasurer take the
notion to enforce penalties of the bank
law, $26OOOO could be netted to the

The law provides that each state
bank shall publish In newspaper a
summary of its statement as made up
on call of the treasurer. A clipping or
proof of this must be sent TO the treas

There are 325 banks which have not

It could be, with which fact the treas
urer wishes to jog the memory Of rural
financiers.

blame, says the treasurer, for frequent

newspaper
Condition OF state banks in general
shows improvement by the last report,
and banks generally are keeping up to

banks are supposed to keep a reserve
Of one-quarter of the demand deposits,
and may include in this reserve amounts
due from ether banks and bankers
bonds and stocks at par value and cash
items.
There will be no tabulation Of the re-

Epidemic of MumpS in
Atlanta; Eat Pickle to
See If You Have GotIt
Disease Never Had Such a Hold
Here Before, Says Prominent
Physician.

An epidemic of humps is now rag
ing in this city, according to DR.. w.
a. Jackson, Tech surgeon and local
physician.
DR.. Jackson said that the major
ity of the cases are among adults,
and though there are very few serious
cases, the germ is abroad and doing
its work well.
The territory OF the epidemic seems
to be very wide, as there are cases in
every neighborhOod from Highland
View and Decatur to the outskirts OF
East Point. Just how many cases there
are is not definitely known, but there
is about 20 per cent increase as com
pared with this time last year accord
ing to the estimate of DIR. Jackson.
The whole thing is due to the sui
den return of the dry weather and the
excessive amount of dust that is oe-
ing carried into every home laden with
the deadly germs. The best prevent
i've is to keep the streets In front
of the residences well watered and
then the probability OF the disease
spreading any further is small. / have
never seen as many cases at one time
since l have been practicing in At
lanta."
DR.. jackson expressed the opinion
that with the coming OF the April
showers. the number of cases would
decrease.

Coroner Hoffman seemed sur
prised when he was told that no
