STROUD-CAUSEY

Miss Eva May Stroud was mar
ried to Mr.. James Milton Richard
Causey Wednesday, January 10th
by Rev. l.. A. Hill at the parson-
age of the Central Methodist
church. Mrs. Causey is the at
tractlVe daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. w. Stroud, and Mr.. Causey is
an employee OF the A. B. and A.
Railway.
The young people sprung a sur
PRISE on relatives and friends by
having the ceremony performed a
week i'll advance of the day SET
therefor and keeping the fact a
profound secret until the regular
ly appointed time. Miss Stroud's
parents treated the young peoples
statement as joke until the Rev.
Hill was phoned and corroborated
the same. All was forgiven. how
ever, and the parental blessings
bestowed.

TO CUT SALARIES

Atlanta, Ga, ian. 10-Take less
money or quit, is the ultimatum
that has gone out to many city
hall employees as the result of the
plan to make the expenses come
within the city's income.
~ on can take your free choice
and do either you want to-" the
considerate heads of the depart
ments explain to the unhappy
clerks and stenographers.
But the employers are not be-
levers in the doctrine of free will.
They are like Voltaire's philoso-
pher when the general asked him
If he preferred to be hanged or
shot:
Il don't prefer either the poor
fellow answered, but he had to
take one or the other.

BEETHOVEN'S DEATH is
MOURNED IN ATLANTA

Atlanta, Jan. l7-There may be
time when Atlanta was philis-
tine and did not love art for arts
sake, but if you believe this fair
metropolis is still in that be-
knlghted condition, just let this
veraclous tale percolate through
your understanding.
Two weeks ago, though nobody
learned about it until today. a
party OF well known Atlanta wo-
men, thirty in number, holding a
culture session, wcpt as if their
hearts would break because poor
Beethoven was blind and dead.
The leader of the club, an es-
tlmable lady, was delivering
lecture on the life of the greatest
musician i'll the world and toward
the close OF her address was so
overcome by her own elouuence
that She burst into Years and was
unable to continue.
A charming young woman who
mas Inquired very prominently in
the musical renaissance of Allan
ia, volunteered to finish the talk
But she proved to be even more
eloquent than the first speaker,
andbefore she had proceeded very
tar the whole audience was sob
bins as if their collective hearts
would break.
They may love art in Eurone
Dut 1t is doubtful if anybody in a
mighty long time has actually
cried because of Bcethoven's de-
mise, as the funeral took place
considerably more than half a
century ago.

PLEASING THE LADIES

Atlanta, Jan. 1S.-Because the
pretty girls in the fashionable
suburb OF Buckhead found that
the taking off of the "Owr" street
cars interfered with their matri-
monlal prospects and their par
ties, the kind-hearted street car
magnates have put the owl cars
back on the line. and now again
the Atlanta swain who wishes TO
pay court TO the Buckhead girls
and who doesn't happen to own
his own auto, can stay until mid
night, II the girl is willing, and
get safely back to Atlanta with

Asked about the bankruptcy
court he stated that all its SEES
sions will be held here, thus
bringing lawyers and people from
all parts OF the district to Fitz-
gerald.
Fitzgerald and its institutions
will profit much by Judge Lamb
idn's decision, for besides bring
ing many people to the town it
will be the headquarters for the
depository of all government
funds of the district, and in many
other ways much benefit will
lnure to the city.
The judge was asked if he
would continue his practice as a
lawyer here, and he replied very
emphatically that he would, and
that this was one of the reasons
why Fitzgerald was selected as
headquarters for his Court. i
believe your city affords excellent
opportunity for the practice of my
profession he said, and I will
open my law Office in the city i'm
mcdiately.''

up Wednesday evening when the Hus-
tiers, the losing team, banqueted the
Workers, the winners, at the Church
of Christ.
There were 225 members of the To-
cal lodge present to partake of the ell
egant supper which was furnished by
the ladies of the church and which
was enjoyed to the fullest extent. The
members assembled in Castle hall at
6:45 O'Clock and marched to the
church in body where the supper
was served at o'clock.
After the supper, those present re-
turned to the lodge room Of Castle
hall where smoker was enjoyed and
special program rendered. Over
this presided Judge Frank o. Lever
ing, q past chancellor of the local
lodge.
"I have never seen finer body of
men in any order than is assembled
here tonight" remarked Judge Lever
ing at the start of his speech of well
come, "and if the kaiser were sudden
ly to look in here and see these faces,
ne might change his mind on the sub
marine question" The Judge well
coined most heartily to the ban
quest the members of the winning side
and proceeded with the program of
the evening by presenting Walter j..
Sperry.
Mr. Sperry stated that he was glad
he was one of the fellows who had
caused Judge Levering and the bal
ance of the team to put on the sup
per. He said that too much stress
could not be laid upon the extremely
effective work of getting out the men,
bers during the campaign, but that
due credit should also be given those
fellows who had worked SO hard, and
responded so loyalty, at the close.
The X. of P. Mandolin club, COM
posed of Messrs. Boyle, Dixon, Mil
Ter, Huddle and Marine. then gave a
much-appreciated selection and Judge
lowering introduced the principal
speaker of the evening, Grand Chan
cellor George Lewis Behrens.
Mr.. Behrens proclaimed at the out
set of his most interesting discourse
that, had the spirit of Pythianism pre-
vailed in Europe, there would have
been no war. The present crisis is
the time for the principles of the or
der to be tested. he declared, and
urged that they be put into practice
to their fullest extent. The balance
of his address teemed with patriotism

REFUSES NEW TRIAL;
APPEAL BOND Is $500
Grand And Petit Juries Are
Drawn-News From The
Court House

An opinion has been handed down
by Judge Blair in the case of George
E. McCully, trustee in bankruptcy of
the Mt. Vernon Glass Co. and others,
vs.. Cortland Van Camp and others, in
which he finds that defendant named
is liable to the extent of $1,598, repre-
senting the unpaid $40 of his stock,
while Adolph Wuchner is liable to
the extent of $6,12O, this also repre-
senting the unpaid 3496 OF his stock.
A motion for new trial is overruled
and appeal bond fixed at 5000.
The purpose of the suit was to en-
force stockholders liability for un-
paid subscriptions for stock in the
Mt. Vernon Glass Co., which was in
corporated in July, 1905, with cap
ital stock of $45,00O. All stock was
subscribed for by Adolph Wuchner
and all issued to him except four
shares which went to four other peo-
pie. OF the stock, $4,000 was taken
by Wuchner for Cortland Van Camp
who had sold the former two old glass
factories in Indiana, agreeing to take
this sock in exchange.
Admittedly, Wuchner paid $3.50 for
the $4,000 in stock received by him.
The plant was encumbered by proba-
bly, $4,000 Indebtedness. The judge
finds that Van Camp knew stock was
not paid up when issued to him.
In the matter of values of plants,
the judge allows values as fixed by
parties themselves to stand-$15, 900
for Van Camps two old plants and
$500 for Wuchner's old plant. This
latter amount is credited on stock.
Judge Blair finds that Wuchner in.
vested little more than 1919 in the
stock he received.
