Notwithstanding the long-con-

prosperous, and the people seem
optimistic. 1t seems that almost
every family in the town and in
the country has an automobile,
and many of them are of the
finest quality:

city of some 1000 people, has

with several modern ward school
buildings. There is a fine new
flour mill here, and the great
railroad shops furnish employ
ment for hundreds of men, with
a pay roll of some $50, 900 per
month.
All west of this place the land
is black and very fertile, and it
is simply enhancing to stand up
on some high elevation and look
for miles and see the fertile
plains dotted everywhere with
grazing herds and beautiful farm
houses.
On Saturday afternoon the
streets here look almost like a

town, and one of the strange
sights to me twas the hundreds
of Mexicans that swarm upon the
streets and chatter like so many
geese. There are a great many
Germans and Bohemians and

cars, according to reports, had it not
been that Alderman j. E. Lindsey,
the driver of one of the wrecked cars,

a different story might have been
written. The other car was owned
and driven by Mr.. Spence of north
Georgia, and while he was not travel
ing at dangerous rate of speed, &C
cording to his statement, the starting
gear of his car became unmanageable
and he could not give the proper space

BURGLARS GET A
GROCERY HAUL
STORE ON GUNBOAT HILL BROK-
EN- OPEN AND AUTO LOAD OF
GOODS TAKEN.

Burglars entered the store of Ea-
som and Holland or Gunboat Hill
Thursday night and, after making a
thorough search for money and other
valuable, they proceeded to load car
with flour and lard and took their de-
parture. More than a barrel of flour
was missed by the merchants upon
their entering the store next morning.
Entrance was gained from the front
and exit through the rear. An auto
mobile was driven to the mouth of
the alley in the rear of the store to
receive the stolen goods.
The police are leaving nothing I'm.
done to capture the thieves, but they
are without clue as the tracks were
soon destroyed by others passing the
street where the mysterious car had
previously gone.
