To Patrons.

We take this means to thank our
many patrons for the patience they have
shown with the service during the past
two weeks. We realize that a great
deal Of inconvenience and annoyance
have been experienced. The numerous
electrical storms and heavy wind storms
played sad havoc with the wires of all
of our lines and no little trouble, expense
and loss of time have been experienced
in making the repairs. And just at
this time Miss Inez Egeland, our
efficient operator at the central Office
was taking a well deserved and much
needed vacation which crippled the
service more han the elements. We
have a force of men busy making the
necessary repairs. Miss Egeland is again
on duty and hope in a few days to be
again giving the splendid satisfaction
usual with our service. Again thank
ing u patrons for their patience and
kindness we are yours truly.

GOSSIP OF MUSICIANS
AND MUSICAL PEOPLE.

The situation presented by the action
of the members of the Music Club at
the time of the first artist concert of
this season last Monday evening is ex-
ercising the board of managers of the
club no little. After great amount of
work to overcome many obstacles the
management finally succeeded in
bringing here the greatest pianist IN
America this season, and one of the
three great world pianists of the day.
Every member of the club is entitled
to a free admission to the artist con-
certs, whilst admissions for their
friends and other persons not members
may be purchased at figure less than
would have to be paid to hear in any
of the large cities of this country, any
of the great artists whom the club
brings here. The club has a member
ship of 312. Of this number, seventy
did not even secure their membership
tickets from the treasurer of the club,
while of the remaining 242 who dld get
them, 62 did not find the attraction OF
sufficient interest to induce them to Sc
cure their reserved seats, and attend
the concert. OF those persons in the

BIG DEMAND FOR
CHRISTMAS TREES.
Most of the Trees Come From the
Forests of Maine.

Most of the Trees Come From the
Forests of Maine.
The first Christmas trees of the sea-
son made their appearance during the
latter part of last week. Most OF the
trees are imported from Maine.
A number win be sent to other points
in the state, and many Of them go to
points outside of Georgia. Two large
consignments have been shipped by one
dealer to st. Augustine, Fla, and an
other to Columbia, s. C.
Most of the Maine trees are varieties
Of spruce pine, of conical shape, with
the needles close-hanging and firmly
in place. The appearance Of the trees
is Identical with the pictures so often
seen Of the ideal tree. The prices range
from rs cents for the small ones to
SO for the largest.
"There has been an unusual demand
for the trees" said Mr.. j. I'll. Helmken
yesterday, "but we have managed thus
far to just meet II. l have sent hurry
kilograms for the second consignment,
as / wish 10 have them in place before
all the present ones are gone. The
demand from outside places has been
unusually large, and this has taken
considerably from the stock which I
had supposed would be used simply
for supplying the home demand. The
prices are reasonable. considering the
long distance that we have 10 bring
them, and the especially fine specimens
which are on sale. The small trees
can sell for 75 cents each, and from
this price they go for different values

Chicago to an equal number, and to
similarly large audiences in other of
the large cities in America, while five
years ago she played to an audience of
1000 in Atlanta, it really is rather
astonishing to the Music Club man
agement that she should have played
here to less than 400. With a great
deal of difficulty and expense she was
brought here, coming direct from Bos-
ton, and going from here to Chatta-
nooga, and thence to Chicago. With
such a result the board of managers is
beginning to think that it is quite use
less to bring great artists here. The
Lawton Memorial it believes, should
have been packed to overf1owing on
Monday evening. The presumption is
that the people-even those who be-
lieve themselves musical-do not care
to hear the great artists. 1t may be
that they did not know who Zeisler
was. There have been other great art
lists engaged for this season, and it re-
mains to be seen whether the many
who, on Tuesday had been simply
crazy to hear Zeisler,'' had fully in
tended going, "who" felt that they had
severely swindled themselves out of a
great pleasure by having forgotten all
about it, will take advantage of the
succeeding concerts. or will be equally
as interested in them after they have
taken place, as they now are after
hearing their friends who heard Zeis-
Ter talk about her.

have been provided six luxurious loung-
ing and writing rooms, equipped with
every convenience. A commodious re-

One of the particular interior features
is newspaper room finished in an ar
tistic manner in possibly thirty-five

of colors, there being 139 different eff
fects obtained in this room.
The entire building is wainscoted
throughout, each room being finished in
different kind of wood while the walls
and ceilings are handsomely decorated
and the color effects will be added to
by the rich draperies and rugs. Even
the furniture will be in such style as
to complete color scheme that will be
beautiful in every respect. The vari-
Gus lumber manufacturing associations
OF the United States will finish one or
more of these rooms in the particu-
lar lumber that they are interested in.

chase Exposition, the House of Hoo
Hoo will be made part of the forest
ry exhibit. 1t has also been proposed
to deed this building TO the city of st.
Louis after the termination of the fair,
so that 1t may become a permanent for
estry museum similar to those found
in many of the continental cities and in
which may be installed many of the
forestry exhibits which will be in the
forestry building at the fair.
The general style of the building is
materially changed from that original
ly planned and it is generally believed
that the change is for the better. In
the first place the construction, being
entirely of wood, will be much more
satisfactory for a lumbermen's club
building. 1t also contains its main
features on the ground floor, which is
a decided advantage over the building
originally planned. 1t will be home-like
in every detail, and will undoubtedly
be one of the most attractive features
OF the great fair.
And one of the fundamental ideas of
the whole proposition has not been for
gotten. The House of Hoo-Hoo will be
a school in which much can be learned
of modern methods of wood construc-
ton and finishing.

savannah Hoo Hoo and Hoo Hoo
throughout the South are interested in
the House of Hoo Hoo at the st. Louis
rxposition. The Morning News prints
to-day picture of the building. 1t is
situated about 300 feet from the art
building, on Art Hill, which places the
building practically in the center of the
main picture of the exposition. The
TYNE of architecture is in the bunga-
low style, such as would make an ideal
country club building and the construc-
ton is entirely of wood in order to
show the various possibilities Of the
forest products of the United States.
In size it is 32x97 feet, with spacious We
randas extending around the entire
structure, a special feature of this We
randa being that access is possible to
every room on the main floor by means
of large French windows.
The building contains an office, check
room, telephone booths, large rotunda
with a magnificent stairway leading to
the second floor and an auditorium with
a seating capacity of 400. This audi

The other Christmas green's have not
yet put in an appearance, with the
exception of holly wreaths for sale
in the city market. The dealers in
Christmas greenery are depending on
the negroes to bring it in from the
country just before Christmas. This
will insure the leaves being in better
shape and fresher.
For tree decorative purposes there
are tinseled papers and long streamers
of all variety of matters, thichly in
tersprinkled with silver and gold foil
in such manner that it appears to
be one long string of sparkling jewels.
These sell at low prices, and make the
best possible decorations for the Christ

should be decidedly pretty and well

spite the heavy programme which she
gave that night, she did three hours
work on Tuesday morning. After TAX
ing lunch at Bannon Lodge, Thunder
bolt, with several of the prominent
musical people here, she left that after
noon. Nine. Zeisler said that she had

who had been here what to expect, and
that she had not been in the least dis
appointed.

THE GINSENG GROWER

is the name of neat little monthly
magazine which has just been issued by
Ernest A Dunn of this city Consider
ing the great amount of interest now
shown in the cultivation of this valuable
plant, which is at present selling at
from 81 to $l2 per pound, and the fact
that the literature in regard to its cul-
ture is of the most meager description,
this new journal should from the start
meet with great favor, and especially
is this so as Mir. Dunn has not only
given this subject great deal of study
during recent years, has at his disposal
every article of value that has been
written on ginseng culture, has as his
counselors such practical men as j. II.
Koehler, Frank Morgan and others,
who have devoted years 10 the culture
of this plant and with great success,
but he is also an experienced news
paper man and his training in this line
is a guarantee that what appears in the
Ginseng Grower will be of most prac-
tical and helpful nature. The subscrip-
ton price of the magazine is but a
dollar year, sample copies Is cents,
and we cannot see how anyone con-
templating engaging in this profitable
industry can afford to get along with
out the Ginseng Grower, which by the
way is the only periodical of the kind
published west of New York.
