AT THE STATE CAPITAL
How the Booming City is Passing the
Heated Term


ATLANTA, June 1s.-The hot wave has
finally struck US, and with considerable
force. Already there is a rush 10 Mt
Airy. TO Gainesville. and TO Hufss Higb-
land Park, while many families are pre-
pairing 10 spend the summer at more dis
tant and expensive resorts.
IL Is rumOred here to-day that the Chat
ham Artillery are talking about going m
Huf's Highland Park formerly New Hol-
land springs). They will find the place
wonderfully improved, and can run down
to Atlanta daily on greatly reduced rates.
/ sometimes make mistakes, but I did
not say that Gen. F. S. Barlow was the
RfSt Confederate General killed in battle.
1 simply referred to him as a Savannah
General who was killed year before Gen.
Garland fell.
The Philadelphia Times reports that
ten. Ioombs has just made his last public
speech IN an Atlanta court. This is an
error oi location, and probably of fact. as
L think Gen. TOOmbs has not wholly
closed his public professional labors.
our latest local sensation is a live tar
rantula from the West Indies, found in a
bunch OF bananas. He is very large, and
hundreds Of people are drawn to Ballard
Brothers fruit store to inspect the dam
gerous animal. He is kept confined in a
glass candy jar, so that visitors feel safe
i'm viewing him.
The Second Baptist Church are highly
pleased at the honor conferred upon their
able and beloved pastor by the South
western University of Jackson, Tenn.
He can now write his name Rev ID w
Gwin, NJ. D., ID. D., LII. d., and worthily
uphOlds each degree by his elOquence.
learning and skill. His knight Templar
comrades also share in the general pleas
ure growing out of this deserved honor.
The once famous London sensation.
called "RhOda," at last found its way
into an Atlanta auction house, and was
sold at public Outcry on Saturday. 1t
had not proved very paying investment
to Its previous prOprietOrs, and its future
is doubtful and gloomy.
quite sensation was spoiled on Friday
last at the kimball House. A Young man
reported the robbery of a $500 diamond
pin and scarf, and claimed that his door
was unlocked during the night by thief.
As soon as the matter was made public
the linen room keeper reported cheap
scarf and pin as having been found i'm
pillow case sent to the wash room. The
Young man evidently tried to put his
scarf under the pillow, but got it into the
pillow case. He said he put it on the bu-
reau and locked the room door: in both of
which he was mistaken. A good lesson
can be learned from this case-dOn't be
too positive.
Captain Henry Z. Wilson and his
brother, OF Efingham county, were dis
tnguiShed cadets a few years ago at the
DahlOnega Agricultural and Military Col
lege, and last week the Captain won new
h0nors there by his fine address before the
Alumni. Prominent GeOrgians refer to
him and his address as showing that the
college has done a noble work even down
to the very seabOard.
From letters received by the Christie
pliers, il seems that my reference to the
suspension of the Sunday PbOnOGrdph
was misunderstood. They have neither
failed nor closed out here, but discontinued
the paper in order to give more attention
TO other better paying matters.
| see that the old cry is again being
started-the capitol is "unsafe" and
''liable to fall down." There is not
word of truth in the statement,
thorough work has been done all over the
building, and the roof and walls are more
secure and safe than they were ten years
ago. The advocates of a new capitol will
have 10 try some other dodge to work up
a boom favorable to their magnificent
project.
DIR. \. W. Calhoun, after a long and pa
tient course Of treatment, has given Capt.
rlnO. Z marion. lne veteran conductor OF the
Central Railroad, considerable relief from
his severe throat trouble. 1t was a case
that required time and constant treatment
to get under control, otherwise the most
serious results would have followed.
Savannah, 10 a certain extent, won hon.
Ors at the exhibition of Miss Bunnie
Loves school on Friday night, at DeGive's
Opera House, which was crowded with a
fashionable and delighted audience. Little
May Avery, daughter of Col. Isaac w.
Avery, formerly of Savannah, was a
bright star in the musical part, playing
the violin finely, while charming little
Bessie Mills, once a Savannah girl, won
all hearts by her finished defamation of
'''The Blue and the Grey" HereIocution
was as faultless as her movements were
graceful, and the enthusiastic audience
heartily applauded her as the ''star of the
evening, beautiful star"
Hon. ;. \. Reid, of the Board of Visitors
TO the State University, has made mi
nOrity report that meets with a favorable
reception in this part of the State. His
criticism Of the sO-called military feature
of the Institution is timely and Just. If
Prof. CharbOnnier has a burden of other
duties, il is unjust to put upon him the
additional duty of commanding the cadets
and looking after the military studies. A
poorly organized and badly cared for mill
tary department is worse than none at all,
and il is hoped that the Board of Trustees
will either abolish it or put it in the hands
OF a thorough military man, and let him
give his whole time TO the department.
