QUAINT OLD INN NAMES.
Some of the Peculiar Signs One May
Read In England.

Some of the Peculiar Signs One May
Read In England.
MAN Loaded With Mischief is the
name Of an inn in the Madingley road,
Cambridge, but it is not stranger than
many others. At Underwood, Motifs, is
an inn called 1.-THE Toad In the Hole"
and in the neighborhood Of Somer-
cotes, "The Old House at Home" An
other inn at the same place is called
The Old English Gentleman"
1t is a debatable point whether the
sign Of "The Man Loaded With Mis-
chief" was painted by Hogarth. But it
Is like his satire, for it represents a
man carrying woman.
Many peculiar signs are the result
of misconception. 1.-THE Bag o. Nails
is really 1.-THE Bacchanals." 1.-THE Goat
and Compasses" is an ignorant shot at
the old motto, God encompasses u.s.
while 1.-THE George and Cannon" is a
modern corruption Of George Canning,
who was prime minister when the inn
was built.
One Of the funniest of these corrup-
tons is 1.-THE Iron Devil" a corruption
Of "Hirondelle" (swallow). 1t is said
that the inn called ''The Pig and Tin
der Box" was originally 1.-THE Ele-
plant and Castle" but a very poor
artist was engaged to paint the sign,
and somebody said it looked like pig
and finder box, and the name stuck
until it ousted the old one.
1.-THE Plum and Feathers" an inn in
Oxford, should be Plume Of Feath-
ers," and THE Rose Of the Quarter
Sessions" was originally LA Rose des
Quatres Saisons." One might think
THE Ship and Shovel belonged to the
same category, but it does not. The
reference is to Sir Cloudesley Shovel
the powder monkey who became ar
admiral in the reign Of Queen Anne
London Tit-Bits.

Mrs. L. Bridges. better known

''Grandma" died at the home of
her daughter Mrs. M. A. Carter
near the A. B. & A. Shops on

ness. Deceased was about 80
years of age, and had lived here
for the past seven years. She is
survived by one daughter Mrs.
M. A. Carter of this place and
one grandson of Atlanta besides
other relatives in Cedartown to
which place the body was sent

COTTON |S STRONG
 IN LAST HALF Net Close at Gain of 4 to , Points for the
 Day
Kate. BYd. Asked.

New Orleans, January 5.--While cotton stood at the decline during the greater part of todays session, because of real izing sales from the long side, and while it made no such display of frmness as was made yesterday, there was 8 period of strength in tn elast half hour of busi- ness and the close was at net gain for the day of to 5 points, Last prices were within a point or two of the best of the day.
 The buying that came in toward the close was apparently the result of the ad- vice sent out broadcast by many brokers to their customers to take advantage Of recessinns to put out fresh long lines. In the morning and in the first part of the afternoon buying orders came in slowly but suddenly they showed marked in crease. to all appearances coming from outsiders, and the demand was more than the ring could meet.
 The gossip of the day was mixed in tone. Many brokers said the market was overbought and due for a material reao- tion, but others considered that the spot demand was too good and the outlook for large export movement too favorable to allow anything but temporary and unim- portant setbacks.

 In any event, the engagement was not accepted as an index to prevailing condi- lions in foreign exchange, which dis inctly favor imports, today's quotations being the lowest in over a year.
