Col. Adair, our oldest real estate agent

This may be true, but / notice that the
''bOom" keeps booming right along all the

The social circles of Atlanta have won

grows older, and a better class Of promi
nent families come in, a necessity is seeT
for proper restrictions to be thrown around
social gatherings. 1t is no longer con
sldered the thing to permit general anC
promiscuous Invitations.

Alderman X. j. Lowry started lively
crusade against the English sparrow. hui
the cruelty to animals law met him at his
first move. Boston having repealed her
law, the Alderman hopes to persuade the
Georgia Legislature to repeal that part OF
the law, as he fully believes this so-called
pest ought to be suppressed. Some people
say the sparrow is a nuisance, while 9TH
ers defend it.
MINOR TOPICS.
Capt. Robert +. Park, of Macon, reports
constant additions to the Georgia Jersey
Cattle Club, and it is probable that the
May meeting in Atlanta will show a
strong and healthy organization.
The April issue of the Southern Cultird-
tor, of this city, with which the Southern
Farmers Monthly has just Joined its for
tunes, Will be the best number yet pub
llshed. improvements have been made in
all its departments, and it now stands
without rival in the entire South.
| trust the project of purchasing Liberty
Hall for the State will be abandoned. When
in 1876 old Liberty Hall was literally torn
to pieces and moderniZed it lost its great
est charm. That was the one great mis-
take of Mr.. Stephens life. AS it now
stands, reconstructed and improved. there
is but little to make it areminder of ''gOOd
old times"
Coy. Boynton has appointed most
excellent Board Of Commissioners for the
Southern Exposition at Louisville. Siblev
and Jordan are prominent cotton factory
men, Noble is an extensive iron manufac-
turer, Northern, Redding, White and
kenn0n are agriculturists, Abrahams a
banker, and Estill represents the news
paper and printing interests.
The EUenlng Star and EUeniRg Journal
are both pulling ahead, neither willing to
step aside and give the other the whole
track. Mr.. Eugene p. Speer, of Griffin,
one of the most versatile and vigorous
young journalists OF the State, has Just
taken position on the Star. which makes
it shine somewhat brighter. Wallace p.
Reed is giving his best to the Journal, and
when he does that for any paper, it is al
ways good work and well done. Mr.. j. H.
Morefield, the foreman, always gets out
the neatest paper in Atlanta, no matter
who he works for. 1t is just now nip and
tuck between the Star and Journal.
AS the MORNING NEWS CORRESPONDENT
was the first journalist to openly denounce
both the professional dead beat witnesses
and jurors that have hung around the
United States Court room here, your read
ers Will be glad to know that healthy re-
form has at last been inaugurated. / had
two conversations with Judge Mckay on
the subject, and he assured me that if my
statements proved true he would promptly
act in the matter. And when the crisis
came he was as equal to his word. Here
after, both Judge Mckay and Attorney
General Speer will wage an everlasting
beats.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
| see no reason to change my previous
views in regard to the campaign. The
unearthing of the Boynton-BullOck letters
has proved already ''bOomerang'' to the
unearthers, who thought they would Gre
ate "bOOm' for Bacon. Failing in this.
it is now ''anybody to beat BOynton, y
The bitterness of the contest, however,
will not subside, and / think will gain
friends for Boynton. Persecution always
fails with sensible people, and Governor
Boynt0n gains two friends tor every one
that is driven away by the letters.
Senator Henry S. Mcdaniel was in the
city yesterday, and had a conversation
with him. He is still the same noble
Georgian-a man of ripe experience in
field and forum, soldier without fearand
statesman without reproach. He is
making no canvass for the office of Gov.
ernor, but should an emergency arise in
which his name can be honOrably SUBJ
mItted, he will not hold it back. Senator
Mcdaniel would make as good Cover
nor as the State ever had-pure. able,
hOnOred and true-and in the proper time
he is sure to be called to high station, He
will, however, never enter any scramble
for it, either now or in the future.
PERSONAL MENTION,
The press dispatches announce the
suicide at Hampton, Va, of Col, James
l., farley, ga graduate of West Point''
and an officer sin the United States army
before the war;" The deceased. however.
occupied neither position.
1t was often remarked that Congress-
man Emory Speer was like clay in the

from the cultured pen of Hon. George Il.
Barnes. 1t is a graceful and beautifully
written testimonial to the amiable 0uali-
ties and modest character of one whom
insidiOus disease held back from an active
earthly career, and early called TO the
bllssful scenes of the heavenly land,
Judge a. Pratt Adams, OF Savannah.
presided In the supreme Court with such
dignity and ease, and manifested such a
familiarity with judicial duties, that il
was suggested that when his head gets a
little balder he would make a good sue
cessor to some more venerable retiring
DupIeihe OuuTb Juuge. Inc suggestion
will bear being kept in mind.
The Philadelphia Times is evidently not
posted in military biography, Speaking
of the late General Henry G. Wayne. it
says: "After the war he lived quietly in
Georgia, writing a few military books.
among them "A Manual of Sword Exer-
cise'" tits due General Wayne's memory
to state that the work, ''The Sword Fxer
else, Arranged for Military Instruction"
was published in 1850, and was quite pop-
ular in the old army, where gallant
Harry Wayne had a host of friends.
1t was not post bellum publication.
DIR. A. Oemler, Of Savannah, the efFici-
