A touching incident occurred one
day this week while the five year old
son of Thomas c. Dolan, finger print
expert of the police department, was
in his coffin at his home following the
fatal accident on the Thomaston-
Torrington road.
Bobbie had been popular in the
neighborhood of Park and John
streets where his grandparents live.
He ard a large collie owned by the
Avery family were familiar figures
and Bobbie- had many playmates in
that section. A little girl, just about
the same age. was told what had hap
pened to her little friend. Like many
others she was stricken with grief
over the loss of her playmate and
with sympathy for the hereaved par
ents. She wanted to do something,
but there seemed nothing she could
do.
She asked a neighbor for some
flowers from the garden to Give to
Boobies mother" but was advised
that the flowers were hardly good
enough for that purpose. But she
must show her sympathy in some way
so child-like she had an idea. She
owned bead necklace. It was not
a valuable necklace. In fact it prob
ably cost no more than 10 cents. But
she cherished it as some great prize.
To give her favorite possession to
Boobies mother was the idea. Going
to tho grief stricken home she opened
the door. placed the beads in the hand
of the mother and disappeared before
any one could ask her name and

Effort to Be Made
To Extradite O'Keefe
From Mexican City

AUGUSTA, Ga, Sept 4.-Local
officials, it became known today, will
make an effort to get w. z. O'Keefe
out of Mexico and bring him back
to Augusta to answer charges OK
larceny after trust.
Solicitor George Hams. was asked
whether he would, in view of the
resumption of diplomatic relations
with Mexico, take any steps 10 bring
O'keefe out offs Mexico, and his re
ply was that such an effort would
be\made at once.
just what will be the legal proce-
dure in the case is not known, but 1t
is understood that the solicitor will
take the matter up with George M.
Napier, attorney general for Geor-
gia, who will ask Governor Walker
to handle the matter. That it wiz
take some time to set the machinery
of the law in motion in such a case
is made evident by the fact that
the governor will have to handle
erai of the United States, who turns
it over to the. state department; the
state department then would request
the United States ambassador at
Mexico City to handle the case with
the department of justice of Mexico
and that department probably would
have to handle it with the state OF
Chihuahua, in which is situated the
city of JuareZ, where Okeefe is said
to be hiding.

cars of pimento peppers have been
shipped by Butts county farmers

ton IN Macon, and the shipments
will increase from now on during
the season. Daily shipments will be

high grade this season, the crop
having been favored by weather con.
ditions. 1t is estimated that at least
