RETAINED OLD FLAT.
Why the Judds Concluded Not to
Move This Spring.
TaetfuI Chicago Housewife sees a
Luring Advertisement and Let
ter Is Written-And Then
Reply Comes

With the first breath Of spring came
the moving fever into the home Of J.
Rutherford Judd, says the Chicago
Chronicle. For five years furniture
vans annually had passed his door.
To be sure there had been changes
above, below and 10 the right in the
Shore apartment building, but the
lares and penates OF the Judd estab-
ishment had remained permanent.
Little Mrs Judd was the first 10 sue
cumb 10 the fever. 1t came in at the
front door with the daily paper. In
a moment of idle curiosity She looked
over the torrent ads" and her serene
mind was disturbed. Without her
husbands knowledge she clipped the
Turing lines which beckoned 10 a finer
suite Of rooms.
There was OEe more room 10 be
had and the rent was the same, 10
say nothing Of the more finished at
fractions which the real estate agent
set forth. It was just what the Judd
family needed, as the children were
growing, and the extra room would
fill all requirements. She would n6t
count the alcove room in her own fat
for a room, although IL was not much
smaller than the parlor.
Having come to the conclusion that
the household gods must be dis
turbed, she proceeded in a woman's
way TO convince her husband a change
was necessary. So tactful was she
that the man never suspected he was
being led, and ne assumed all the re-
spOnsibility for suggesting the
scheme. The same lad" appeared a
few days later, and Mr.. Judd read
il this time and came TO his wife IN
triumph TO tell of his discovery.
The location of the house was not
given definitely, but il was in the
same neighborhood. This would be
fortunate, as it would save hauling OF
furniture a distance as well as leave
them near their friends. No other ad-
dress than "P. o. Box &C. was given
\ letter was framed and sent. For

MARTIN FOR sUPERINTENDExr.
His Friends Would Like to See Him
Gabbett's Successor.


The succession to the position of su-
perintendent of the Fourth Division of
the Seaboard Air Line is interesting
railroad men and a great many others
in Savannah and along the line of the
Seaboard. Mr.. Cecil Gabbett's resigna-
ton will become effective Sept. Is,
when it will be necessary to put in
some other man.
Mr.. c.. c. Martin, agent at Savannah,
has been the only one mentioned thus
far for the position. That gentleman
has a great many friends throughout
the state who would be glad to see him
succeed Mr.. Gabbett. He is familiar
with the duties of the Office, and those
who know him best do not question his
ability to perform them with credit
to himself and advantage to the Sea-
board. Mr.. Martin was agent at Sa-
vannah for the Georgia and Alabama
Railroad before it's consolidation with
the Seaboard Air Line. He was gen.
eral agent at Atlanta for the Southern
prior to his connection with the Geor-
gia and Alabama. He has had expert
ence in many lines of railroading-op-
Grating as we'll as traffic.
Some months ago, when 1t was talked
that Mr.. Gabbett might be made gen.
eral superintendent of the Seaboard,
Mr.. Martin was talked of for the d.
vision superintendent. and many of
his friends among the business men
and shippers here even started a petit
ton on his behalf, asking the manage
ment of the system to give him the APP
pointment. 1t is not improbable that.
in view of Mr.. Martins popularity in
Savannah, another such movement will
be begun.

FEASTED ON WATERMEL ONS.
Annual Event Was Enjoyed at the
Board of Trade.

Board of Trade.
Some 200 members and guests of the
Board of Trade gathered yesterday at
noon in it's spacious room in the Board
of Trade building for the annual water
melon feast. Careful preparation had
been made for the event, which went
off WE'LL
Promptly at noon the party assem-
bled. Capt. M. Ed Wilson was at hand
with camera. Under his direction the
crowd gathered about the tables that
had been arranged in the room. Upon
the tables were forty or more monster
melons, not one of which weighed
less than fifty pounds. They had been
secured from Augusta.
After some time spent in careful ar
rangement of the group. Capt Wilson
pressed the Button" The photographer
was particularly enXious to get a good
picture, so he had the crowd stand
steady for a minute while he arranged
for another flashlight 1t is probable
that copies of the result will be in de-
mand, as the occasion was a happy
one.
Grouped in the center, with the ia
bles, bearing their luscious loads, and
the lines of members and guests about
them, were the president and superin-
tendent and Mr.. ]. Mclaughlin. Mr..
Mclaughlin, one of the gentlemen re-
marked, occupied his post of honor be-
cause he is "a years old and can still
eat watermelons without their hurting
him.
The making of the second picture
was the signal for the demolition of
the melons. They were cut at once,
plenty of case knives being provided.
The melons We're ice cold. and every
body enjoyed them to the utmost.

Where the Georgia Watermelon
Comes From.

Laden with the sweets of Southland.
Soon will come the luscious melon,
Pride of every native Georgian;
1t will come from Chattahoochee,

From Atlanta to the seaboard,
Where there lives Georgia cracker
In the pride of his half-acre."
The above tribute to the Georgia wa
termelon was so impressed upon my
mind by the magnificent display OF
fruit furnished by Capt. Purse to the
Board of Trade yesterday that 1 could
not help committing it to paper from
memory for the edification of every
Georgian that he may know the clas-
sic points from 'Buzzards' Roost to
Tallapoosa, from Hickory Flats to Ac-
apulca, that this glorious melon can be
gathered from.
