GARRISON TO THE FORE;
SEE ITS IDEAL REC ORD

ATLANTA. Ga. Feb. HAS the
dread willowampus returned? Echo
refuses to answer, and the state rail-
read commission is anxious to know,
for an express company has applied
for authority to discontinue its depot
at Charleston on the ground that it
has been unable to get any agent to
stay there for love or money.
If the willowampus. with its fiery
eyes and lions head and serpent's tail
hasn't re-appeared in its former haunts
to terrorize the community why on
earth should express agents refuse u
remain in Charleston?
For Charleston is an earthly paradise
