The rare" days of June are with US,
and with them comes a general stir. Sum
mer plans are being carried out, and in
the next fortnight many people win leave
town Tor seaside and mountain resorts
country homes. or for long months OF
travel. The greater portion, however. will
remain until July or even later; for there
are schools to be considered and many
people find the early summer as pleasant
here as elsewhere. With the sea so near
al hand the days may be enlivened wlth
refreshing trips to Tybee sails on The
river, or afternoons spent at Isle of Hope
and Thunderbolt. This is the season for
picnics and water excursions and several
Of these entertainments have taken place
during the week but there has been little
formal entertaining. Perhaps the largest
and certainly the most interesting gather
ing during the week was on Thursday
morning, when numbers of people turned
out 10 witness and take part in the auc-
tlon at the beautiful old Habersham
