FAITHFUL NANNY DEAD

Minda Daniel who has been SER
want in Mrs. H. G. Coles family for
many years, arrived from Washing
ton City Tuesday and on the same
train with her was daughter of
Mary McGraw, who was also a SER
want of Mrs. Cole, bringing her
mother to Atlanta for burial. She
died few days ago at her daugh-
ter's home in New Jersey. Mary
was the faithful nanny WHO nursed
Mrs. Coles two sons. d. W., and
d. c. Cole, and afterward the chill
dren of Mr.. A. A. Fletcher. In her
old age she was almost mother 10
Mr.. Fietcher's grand children Cath
crime and Fletcher Pierce whose
mother died when they were tots.
After these children came from
New Orleans to Atlanta to live with
their grandparents they were bap-
tized by Mr.. Gribble in St Phil
lips Cathedral and by their urgent
request their colored nanny was
allowed to stand among their spon-
sors. Which reminds us that the
darlingest heroine of Thomas Mel
son Page, "Meh Lady," called one
of her own little sons Billy" for
the venerable old negro who had
cared for her from her infancy and
had bestowed her in marriage up
on her handsome Yankee cousin
soon after the war.

A TRANSACTION IN COTTON

Mr.. w. j. Taylor, of Gainesville,
stopped in town last Saturday to
see Mr.. and Mrs. John Goodwin on
his way to Powder Springs, and
came in to renew his subscription.
While in our office he showed us an
interesting bit of cotton lore in the
form of record of sale of one bale
by Mr.. Taylor's step grandfather,
Mr.. D. j. Newell, of Tavares County,
N. c., to M. & R. H. Hail, mer-
chants, of Cheraw, S. c., in March
1886. The bale was hauled $50
miles in a wagon and sold for
Is Iii cents a pound. 1t weighed
292 pounds and brought $53.31.
When the cotton was sold Mr. New
ell bought an axe for $1.75 and a
sack of salt for $4.51. Mr.. Taylor
has this little bill neatly framed as
a memento of his ancestors. The
price of cotton then is about what
it is now and this reminds us that
a very well informed writer on agri-
culture in the south is viewing
with alarm" the present good price
of cotton. Because, says this pro-
found thinker, 20 cents pound for
cotton will result in such immense
crops being planted that the price
will be sure to drop away down
and Georgia farmers will lose heav-
lily.

between the faculty team and team
from the senior class. The faculty
team was composed of Miss Wilson,

suited in the score of u to 10 in favor
Of the senior team. 1t was followed
by an uproarious time of songs and
class yells. The senior class then pre-
scented a short play, a Calamity of
Carelessness. The faculty paraded the
floor in grotesque costumes, and the

HIN SCALE, II. FL.
FANS TALKING BASEBALL.
Four-Team Local League Under Con
sideration-Meeting Soon

With the advent of more springlike
weather, thoughts of local baseball and
incidentally talk, are rapidly increas-
ing and plans are under way for calling
Il meeting of the fans in the near future
to consider the feasibility Of promoting
q four-team league to be comprised OF
mines representing the Foresters, the pa
per makers, the foundry, and the Ath-
letic association.
Players who would be available for
these mines have been carefully con-
sidered and it is thought that the ma
terial is above the average to he found
IN q town of this size and evenlyenough
matched to play interesting games. The
proposed plans call for two seven-inning
games each Saturday afternoon and
holidays and provide for an exchange
of players if any one team proves too
strong after a few weeks play, the idea
being to make the race as even as pos
sible.
All such details viii be gone over
in meeting which viii be held in For
esters hall and at the same time an or
ganization viii be formed The list of
officers which has been drawn up in
cludes the names of several business
mon, with good executive ability, who,
If they can be prevailed upon to serve,
are almost certain to make a success Of
the league. However, the players them
selves must not forget to show a get
together spirit and a little more broth
erly love than has been exhibited in the
past few seasons to hold the interest OF
the men they have suggested as off
i GERS, also the people in general.
