the advantages of the old-fashioned
homes with d sufficient concession to
modern architectural methods. 1t will

The corner house has it's Vestibule on
Stone street, dining room on the north
side of the house with fireplace in

the second floor, with a second fire
place in the most delightful den which
is located in the northwest corner OF
the house. This house has ten rooms
and a bath and is three stories high
-Four of these houses will be completed

see only the bare walls of these modern
houses which the workmen but recently
closed in but when the houses are COM

have departed, when the people have
moved in and the lawns another sum-
ner show ve!vety turf, when the mar
ble-like sidewalk extending the entire
length of the street has been laid down
and the grounds are ornamented with
shrubbery and flowers, this new colony
of modern homes will be one of the
show places of Augusta as well as one
of the most enjoyable home sections Of
the city.
The Journal desires to congratulate
Mr.. Newbert. the promoter, upon his
remarkable push and enterprise and
Messers Spear & Webb, the architects
and builders upon the honest work in
the construction of these houses and
the wonderful taste which they have
displayed in the plan of each.

brought to light The bill on the
calendar of the Senate was found to
contain all the provisions that the
seed folk wanted, and the mistake was
discovered. namely. that the alarmed
seed dealer had gotten hold of the un-
amended bill instead of that passed
by the House.
The only bone of contention left was
provision as to the inspection and
regulation of seeds transported into
the state. and this has been practical
~ settled. 1t was feared that its In
corporation into the bill might defeat
1t on a possible constitutional ground.
