OCTOBER HONOR ROLL.
Names Of New Subscribers and Others
Who Paid Subscription During
The Month Of October.

The Honor Roll" for October
appears a week late this month
on account of the press for adver-
tising space last week. 1t, how
ever, contains the names of those
only who paid in October, and the
payers in this month will appear
in the first issue in December.
Owing to the fact that the price
of the News is going from a dol
lar to a dollar and a half year,
it will very much facilitate the
keeping of subscription accounts,
if every one in arrears would pay
up, and pay a year or more in
advance. By doing this a half
dollar a year would be saved. As
will be noticed elsewhere in this
paper, the subscription price Of
THE FULTON COUNTY News after
the Goth of December will be one
dollar and fifty cents a year. OF
course, all who are paid ahead of
that date will not come under the
$1.50 date until their term of
suhscrintion eynires

The hot weather which has con tinued unabated for the past seY- erai days has caused further dam age at the railroad cOmpany's sec ond crossing bridge, and, unfortu- nately, has resulted in the death Of E. W. Achtson, who was employed OH the shops section crew.

Three mem bers of the train crew were stand ing cu the platform of the caboOse and MT. AchisOn stood on the steps. Suddenly, and without any warning some of the bridge bents under meath gave way and the upper structure of the bridge saged, al though z did not break in two. Mir.
