THE TRUZCKICVOMPANY: TROUBLE.
The' Investigation by. the \ Borough
' Committee and Board of E_n-’~ '
gineers Begun Last Night.
Last OVening the meeting, as an-
nounced, was held. in the parlors of Pi-
’oneerrHookvand, ' Ladder: .00.; for the
:purpose of hearing and deciding upon
' some method of relieving that organi-
zation from its’ifiternicin‘e war.. There
were present Chief Prowitt, First As-
sistant Smith," Second Assistant ‘John
Kelly and Burgesses Burr and O’Reilly,
together with some fifteenmembers of
tion of members was conducted in pri:
vate, each one making his statement
with no one present except the Engi—
neers and Burgesses. The first mem-
ber thus examined was F. L. Merritt,
followed by First Lieut. Charles T.
Peach, F. E. Birch and Ex—Foreman
William J. Merritt. These were the
only ones who gave secret testimony.
It is impossible, of course, to get at the
exact statements made, but from cur-
rent talk on the street, it is well under-
stood that the drift of the testimony was
to the effect that individual jealousies,
or personal Spite on the part of differ-
ent members, Was at the bottom of all
the d'liculty in this company. It is
charged by the friends of those now in
command of the company, that its for-V
because new Officers were elected last
themselves were competent to run the
organization. Some of these have re-
fused to do duty and have done their
best to break up the company. One
witness is credited with having testified
"that the Ex-Foreman had so far for-
gotten him self as to threaten certain of
the newly organized element, with per-
sonal chastisement.

boys in hand last nigh t, in consequence
of the unexpected absence of their [

, Clerical Wit. .
The clergy, when off duty in undress
uniform, are more noted for their frol-'
icsome wit and caustic repartee than
any other profession. A good one is
told us of a couple of Norwalk Episco-
pal divines, who recently chanced to be
attendants on some church service at
Newtown. The house where the twain
were entertained was at the foot of
Newtown’s noted long and steep hill
andwhen it came tinie to foot it up the
tediohs elevation, “Rev. Watkins, dis-
mayed‘ by the weary distance, remark-
ed to his fellow tramper,———“This hill,
Graham, is like one ‘ of your sermons,
awfully long, isn’t it?” “Yes, certain-
ly, retorted Graham, in a flash, “a little
lengthy,- but leading upward and eleva-
ting throughout, just like my sermons,
Watkins.”

When to Stop Advertising.
Many business men gain little from
their newspaper advertising simply be-
cause they stop their “ads” just as they"
are beginning to do their work. It is
a great thing to know when to stop. A
trade journal once asked a number of
its leading advertisers to give their
ideas as to the best time to stop adver-
tising.
pomted answer were, received and
two of .them are quoted: (1) ‘When
populations ‘cease to multiply and the
generations that: crowdon after you
and never heard of you, stop coming
on. (2) When you .have convinced
everybod whose life will touch yours,
that you ave better goods and lower
prices than they can‘ get anywhere

A GREAT CHANCE i
A Chance to Visit. a “Yankee City .
Under Southern Sun."
—The Georgia-Alabama Investment,
J and Development Company having had
innumerable requests of late from peo-.
ple interested in Tallapoosa, as to why
an exCu-rsion there was not given, it
has been deemed advisable to inaugu7
rate one to that place and return, giv-
ing those desiring to, an. opportunity
gof combining business with pleasure
“and ,of seeing for themselves this wide-
ly talked of “Yankee City under
Southern Sun.”
There is probably no other city of its
size in these United States whose pro-
gress is watched with anything like the
amount of interest by people from all
points of the compass, as this city of the
GOlden River. Situated as it is, 1,200
feet above the level of .the sea, in the
heart of one of the finest resinous pine
forests of the South, the trip there at
this season of the year is as much of a
rest and recreation as would be to any
of our mountain resorts of the North.
All those who have seen the prospectus
of the GeOrgia-Alabama, Investment
and Development Company can per-
haps picture to themselves the life and
activity that is to be seen there at the
present time, and with the increased
population that is assured Tallapoosa
in the next five mouths, affords an ex-
cellent opportunity for investment
with an assurance of large and quick
returns. ,

Ravaged by Grasshoppers.
FINDLAY, 0., Aug. 11.—-The grasshoppers
are doing more damage in this part of the
state just now than they have for many
years before. In many parts of the coun«
try they swarm in myriads' and literally
devour everything. before them. . They
have eaten up and entirely destroyed the
~ cloverseed crop, and are devouring the pas.
ture to such an extent as to render the
feed of stock a. serious problem for the
farmers. They are causing a serious
annoyance in' the wheat fields by
eating the twine that binds the sheaves,
causing the shocks ‘to fall in confusion
and making it difficult to handle. They
are invading the cornfields and eating the
leaves oflf the stalks and husks from the
ears. Young trees are also being seriously
endangered by the hoppers eating the
. leaves and new twigs. They will cause
serious loss to the farmers in this and ad.
joining counties. . ..
