Personal Menfi0n@

At one OF the Indiana lakes certain
Indianapolis matron grew desperate early
this summer and longed for home and the
comforts thereof, and the reason or II an
was this: She IS the mother of large ram
fIy: each member has lots OF friends, ana
q summer at their cottage on the lake means
a great many guests and much entertain
ing, and. to tell the frank truth, good things
to eat and plenty OF them. a good COOK
was an absolute necessity. and there lay
all the trouble. Cooks came. but somehow
they didn't stay. after the manner OF COOKS
at summer resorts, and the situation grew
very dark. especially as the time was draw
ing near when the most elegant guest OF
the season was expected. She was from
ST. Louis and school friend of one of the
ladies. and they were planning an sorts of
festivities for her. Mrs. NJ began TO
find even her sleep haunted by per troubles;
she dreamed of crowds OF young people with
healthy appetites trOOping home and find
ing nothing to eat. turning Sn her in their
hunger, or OF huge stackS Of unwashed
dishes falling on her. Finally she took
trip to the city and returned weary, but
triumphant, and with her came one Mrs
Lulu Smith. = large lady OF color. whose
claim was that she was superfine cater
ess. So relieved were the family at her
capture that there was not even shudder
when they learned the exorbtant demands
she made in the matter of wages. and they
settled down 20 rest and peace and the en-
joyment OF the cooking, which was Ger
tainly fine, and Mrs. M-- tried TO forget
what they were paying this queen of the
kitchen per day. The little local news
paper, however, knowing the Ms rep
utstion for Hospitality. scented a guest in
this new arrival and devoted an item in
their columns to the M-'s guest from
Indianapolis The Ms were too glad
10 have Mrs. Smith with them 10 be at all
annoyedfat the capacity assigned her, and
went or planning what they were going to
DO wien their real guest came. Among
other Things a moonlight ride was given.
Everybody came. the young lady from St.
Louis was pronounced charming. and they
returned to the cottage and enjoyed a
spnptuous repast that was cooked by Mrs.
Iuiu Smith. What was the horror of the
fois paper carly the next week that Mrs.
N had entertained. etc. etc, in honor
OF her house guests Miss --, of St.
Louis and Mrs. Lulu Smith. of Indianapo
The Indianapolis paper had too trustingy
copied from the local paper and this was
the result. The fatal sheet was quickly
hustled out of sight and neither the ST.
Louis belle nor Mrs. Smith ever knew what
company they had been keeping.

Autos at the Worlds Fair.

st. Louis--An automobile
service, carrying visitors to the
Worlds Fair grounds, will ad tc
the transportation facilities of the
Exposition at St. Louis next year
At least 200 machines will carry
passengers along the fine resid-
ence streets and parks of the city
and discharge them at point OF
vantage within the grounds. A
Company, called the World, S
Fair Automobile Company, has
been organized for this purpose,
with Lilburn G. McNair as
president. The machines to be
used will carry from two to forty
passengers each, and steam, gas.
oline and electricity will be the
motive power. The large ma
chimes will be in the style of
tallyhos. These vehicles will
collect passengers at the hotels,
Union Station and other points
the downtown district. Coupon
tickets will be sold emitting the
passenger to ride and admission
to the Worlds Fair grounds.
Stations will be provided at suit
able points within the Exposition
grounds for discharging and col
Letting passengers. Automobiles
will also be operated within the
grounds over certain routes at a
specified rate of speed. This
service will be of great advantage
to visitors, taking them practic-
ally from their hotels, saving
them the trouble of buying tick
cts in the crush at the gates and
the crowds at the turnstiles, and
landing them within the grounds
thoroughly rested and ready for
sight seeing.

Hon Boykin Wright,
Attorney General.
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear SIR
We, the undersigned tax pay
ers of the city of Fitzgerald,
Irwin county, respectfully SUBJ
NIT to your consideration the fol-
lowing facts relative to this years
city tax levy, and respectfully
request and earnestly urge that
you inform us what redress we
may have under the state laws:
Our city tax is limited by char
ter amendment to one Cd per-
cent. 1t appears that the city
council has levied the full limit
OF one per cent. and what is con-
sldered an excessive assessment.
Since it would raise considerably
more money than the appropria-
tons call for. There has been
a large actual gain in building
improvements and personally,
which in addition to raising the
assessments on realty to about
forty per cent. on an average
oyer last years "a totally I'M
warranted advance) has raised
the assessment since then over a
quarter of million dollars. In
view of which we believe that
since the excess of only about
two thousand dollars in this
years appropriations over those
OF last year was fully met by
increased revenues from other
sources our taxes should have
been lower, whereas, they are
from 81 to so per cent. higher on
same property. Also that the
tax rate should have been, for
the above reasons, reduced to
one-half 90 per cent. as the
minimum, or not more than z
mills as the maximum rate.
But these are not our only
reasons for addressing you. The
provisions of the city charter
were grossly violated and totally
ignored in that the assessment
and equalization were carried on
las rule) in a c1andestine and
undetermined manner, whereas
our city charter provides that
they be made with the tax pay.
ers' knowledge and consent.
They were conducted in a way
which afforded those whose
was to be assessed be-
yond all reasonable bounds no
redress, being prevented from
appearing before the equalization
board by various false pre-
lenses and misrepresentation.
For these reasons we believe
