Miss Mabel Buchanan was tender
ed a surprise party Monday after
noon at the home of Mr. ]. S. Clay in
celebration of the little girls elev-
enth anniversary.
Although a threatening afternoon
a large number of children attended.
The color scheme was yellow and
white, furnished by crepe streamers
suspended from the table to the chan
delier. The central piece was an i'm
mense white cake with eleven gleam-
ing tapers. Miss Mabel cut the cake,
after which it quickly disappeared.
The array of gifts were numerous
and substantial. Games were en-
loved, the old-fashioned kind that
have delighted the hearts of not only
those children, but their grandpar-
epts. after which nuts, candies and
fruits were served, and the little folk
left declaring they had the best time

Gently returned from a visit to his

the war has had just the opposite eff
feet on conditions there as to what it
has here in the cotton belt. There
the people are enjoying an era Of
unusual prosperity, while here there
is unprecedented business depres-
SION
The reason is plain. In Kentucky
they raise wheat, corn, hay, hogs,
cattle, mules and tobacco for market
and there is demand for all of these
products at advanced prices, while
here in Georgia we grow only one
money crop-cotton-and there is no
demand for it at any price.
The people of Kentucky, Mr.. Nc
Dowell says, are cheerful and con-
tented, and enjoying their usual
prosperity.

COURT HOUSE IS BURNED
WESBSTER'S HISTORIC OLD TEN.
PIE SMOULDERING IN ASHES.
Was Destroyed Sunday Night With
All County Records. May Have
Been of Incendiary Origin.

Been of Incendiary Origin.
News reached Dawson Monday
morning that the Webster county
court house at Preston was COM
pletely destroyed by fire between 10
and II O'Clock Sunday night The
flames had burst with alarming sud-
denness upon the sleeping town, and
in an incredibly short time the build
ing was in ruins.
The destruction was practically
complete, all court and county rec
ords and furniture being destroyed.
Started at Foot of Stairway.
The flames had their origin at the
foot of the double stairway leading
to the superior court room on the
| second floor.
The few county books in the safe in
the office of Judge J. R. Stapleton,
of the court of ordinary, were saved
in a damaged condition. All other
records, it is understood, were de-
stroyed.
Sheriff Christian, it is understood,
lost most of the records in his office,
as did Clerk of Court Thornton. Col.
J. F. Souter, who had his law Office
in the court house, lost everything,
including his law library, typewriter
and office furniture.
Origin of Fire Unknown.
In Preston opinion differs as to
the origin of the fire. Some believe
it to have been the work of an in
cendiary, and it is claimed that
fumes of kerosene were discernible
to those first reaching the scene,
Others hold to the accidental theory,
There could have been no incentive
for burning the building, it is said,
as no criminal case, the trial of which
was of importance, was upon the
docket.
| The court house, which was a
wooden structure, was built in 1885,
and has weathered the storms Of so
years. There was $4,000 insurance
upon the historic old building.
Next Monday is the time for the
regular session of Webster superior
court to be held, but on account OF
the destruction of the court house 1t
will hardly convene.

the other comes to town with full
wagon and returns home with an

always has something to SELL The
man that always has something to
