Mrs. F. E. A. South, of Atlanta, the
mother Of Mrs Swain, confessed that
she had tricked her husband into be
lieving that II children whom she
had adopted in IA years were born
to them.
1t was Mrs. South's announcement
at the age of 81 that she had given
birth to triplets that led to the dis
covery of her deception.

Mothers Story.
Mrs. South, in Atlanta, corrob-
GRATED her daughters story.
ITS another story of mother love-
she said. my daughter grew tired
of lavihsing her affections on poodle
dogs and | helped her to obtain the
babies secretly when she visited me
She was the only person, except
Mrs. M. T. Mitchell at the maternity
home, who knew how | had obtained
my babies; and She wrote me that
she wanted to have some babies in
the same way.
"She stayed at home nearly two
months in 1916 before | went tc
Mrs. Mitchells and picked out hel
first baby. She named it Josie ans
wired Willis the baby was a girl
Willis told Eva it looked just like
her.
I'm a year Eva came again to At.
lanta and returned with twins, Willis
and Antonio. Both these children dice
before they were year old. On
Sept. "a, 1879 Eva got another pail
Of twins-girls. She named them
Evelyn and Gwendolyn. They are in
perfect health"
The mother says that since her
story was published she has received
hundreds of lettels congl atulating
her on her unselfishness.
Il believe the publication of oul
experiences will give the mothers anC
wives of America something x
think about" she said. "Sobel
thought on any important subject
must bring results, and great goot

What New
The Market
BY Rex Stewart

The buying price of eggs on the
local market today became gen.
orally As and SO cents, but the
decrease will not affect the retail
price for a day or two when mer-
chants have disposed Of their
stocks on hand. BY the middle of
the week the price to the consum-
er ought to be 55 cents a dozen,
or less.
Though usually the case when
eggs are dropping, poultry is not
expected to increase until after
the Christmas holidays. Farmers,
however, who have young roos-
ters will be making mistake to
hold them that long, for they will
have become stays and not be
worth the present price Of IS
cents.
While the wholesale price OF
onions is still maintained at 50
per hundredweight, the market
seems to be in a bad way, the
demand being very light and the
retail prices too high TO the con-
sumer. This is not the fault of
the merchant, but rather the pro-
ducer who caused the rapid in
crease in price this fall.
Fine looking egg plant is on
the market for 20 cents a pound
It is undoubtedly the best which
has been on the market for some
time and was shipped in. Well
trimmed cabbage is offered In
large quantities at So per hun
dred pounds.
