MIR. AND MRS. WEAKLEY GIVE A PICNIC

One of the most original and attractive functions given to compliment Miss Helen Thompson and her guests was the picnic and Mrs. Turner Weakley on Pine Ridge. Twenty young people shared the hospital ity, going out in automobiles from the Thompson residence at o'clock and re- turning by the light of the moon. They were chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. s. E. Thompson, Judge and Mrs. S. D. Weakley and Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin.
 The picnic supper was served al fresco in the most charming spot around Birming- ham-the lawn in front of the Weakley bungalow, which is shadowed with pines and elm trees. Three daintily appointed tables stood under the trees, each with it's especially chosen delicacies-one laden with tea and sandwiches, another with salads and the other with ices and bon bons.
 The picnic was entirely informal and the evening spent in the beautiful retreat on the summit of Shades mountain was pronounced perfect by the young people who shared it's pleasures. In the party were Miss Helen Thompson. Miss Emily Anstice, Miss Clara Murray, Miss Eula Weakley, Miss Dorothy Johnson, Miss Annie Donnelly, Miss Louise Long, Miss Lucy Lyman Powell, Miss Bland Tomlin- son. Miss Marguerite Nabers, Mir. Vaughan Harrison, MT. Ashby Long, MT. Jim Bos- tick, Mir. Melville Davis, MT. Neil Neville, MT. James Scriven, MT. Thomas Wor- thington, MT. Sidney Smith and MT. Rob- ert McDavid.

has the respect and love of the people of Georgia, and a war record, which fits him for the new place. The only ob jection that could be urged against him is his advanced age, and a recent illness, but he is improving fast and will soon be in condition to give the state the ad- vantage of his long and useful military Knowledge.
 By the appointment, however, Hoke Smith manages to secure control of the prison commission. His new man, who- ever it may be, will of course be strong partisan of the governor-elect, in &C., cord with his plans, and will dominate the commission. Consequently, whatever plans the new governor would want to put through would meet with little oppo- sition, it is believed. and the general quite few plans up his sleeve from the standpoint of this commission.
 Governor Smith has always felt a strong interest in the affairs of this com- mission. This was often manifested dur ing his term as governor. He personally investigated many cases of convicts, paid visits to where they were confined, and It will be remembered, of course, the stand he took in the matter of putting an end to the convict lease system and substituting for 1t the system of putting all the convicts on the roads of the state
 The system, or the workings of it, may suffer some changes under the Smith administration.

night, dear?" she asked kindly, when she had been told the cause of the trou- ble.
 Just then a large size bug began to walk quietly up the gentleman's back an invasion on his premises which he resented vociferously, and when he had bounced upon the aforesaid bug with his large right hand he answered:
 ''Ill sleep here if it kills me. Besides. nothing else CAN happen now-every- things happened already"
 But he was mistaken, for no sooner had his amiable Frau departed than all the mosquitoes and flies from Kingdom Come began in unison to do their Vaude- vile stunt, and the poor man at last from sheer exhaustion fell. over-asleep!
 About 1 o'clock he began to dream in fact he had a nightmare. He thought that two burly masked men-robbers, if you please-had got hold of him and were dragging him off the roof before every body in town, and he went through Hades in that vision he had of himself appearing before the assembled multi tude in his night clothes.

and everything seemed conducive to a most delightful sleeping apartment for the summer.
 The scheme looked good and doubtless would have proved such, had not the maid, when she went to make down the bed on the first evening of the little Eyrie's existence, neglected to close the screen door, thereby allowing some 7s9 mosquitoes, several dozen flies, a large, fat beetle and perfectly good bat. into the boudoir of Mine Host"
 Unaware of this swarm of visitors, The Lord of the Manor came home early and by 9 o'clock was tucked away in the little white bed on the roof.
 Before retiring, however. he took the precaution to button the open-air room, LID the front, and thus make prisoners of all the inhabitants it contained, and in cc ccnseouence the Roof Garden" pro- gramme began about 9:3O.

 With flying start it went round and round.

SMITH ANNOUNCES I HIS APPOINTMENTS
Even Before Inauguration Principal Officials of Geor-
 gia Governor Are Known

'fs Atlanta, Ga, June 13.-(Special.)-T announcement by Governor Elect Hoke Smith of the appointment and of the ac- oeptanee of Judge Thomas F. Patter- son of Griffin, to the position on the prison commission, which will be made vacant by the resignation of General Clement A. Evans, to accept the place of adjutant general, has put stop to all speculation on this matter, and has shown clearly that the new governor in tends to control the actions of the com mission.
 Hoke Smith would much have pre- ferred not to have made the announce ment public at this time, but was forced Into doing so, or practically so, by the publicity given the matter, and the spec ulation 1t aroused among his followers.
 A significant point, however, is the ad- mission that the appointment was made over four months ago and that it had been the intention of the governor to withhold the pane of the prison com missioner until. the inauguration. It is possible that the i'll health of General Evans may have had something to do with this plan.
 It is generally admitted that Hoke Smith played a clever game of politics in the appointment of General Evans. Adjutant General Scott Is well liked all over the state and the militia officers of Georgia were strongly in favor of his reappointment. They were preparing to get up a petition calling for his reten- ton, when the news of General Evans appointment was made known. That put an end to all thoughts of opposition to the friends of Scott Evans is known from one end of the south to the other,

and so he began tol search for the elec- tric light (which hadn't been installed). and for the next five minutes a trio was enacted which would have made Ethel Levy, Otis Harlan and Ada Lewis as the Folies Bergere look like thirty cents.
 The race by The Man, The Beetle and The Bat became mad and furious, each trying to see which could hit the screen ing hardest, all of which was soon brought to a finale by the Mistress of the House appearing with a candle, having heard the excitement in her room down stairs.
 The panting man rolled over in bed just as she opened the door of the sleep | ing room-exhausted.

 There was rapid fire commotion by the sleeper, who, emerging rrom lhe sheets and pillows, met the bat race 10 face-that is, it was a face to face im- ract-and then the beetle decided to join the bat, in duet. but let 1t be said in justice to the latter, he was really looking for an exit.

TARPLEY-HUGHES
 WEDDING OCCURS

A wedding in the June twilight must needs be wedding of poetry and sen timent especially in Birmingham, where the twilights are glorious. The mar riage of Miss Willie Person Hughes and MT. Robert Branch Tarpley, which oc- cured last night at the Westminster Presbyterian church in Norwood, in no wise differed from this rule. It's simplicity was especially attractive and with the added witchery of the period, just past o'clock, the bride was exceptionally sweet and lovely. The church had been decorated by party of her girl friends and, with the chance filled with palms and other greenery frightened with clus- ters of white flowers, was exceptionally lovely.

In Mem0riam


 Mrs Annie Eliza Burton, while svisit- ing her niece, Mrs. John T. Hackney, Twentieth avenue, North Birmingham, died suddenly at 7:30 o'clock Friday morning, May 12, aged 69 years.
 Mrs Burton, before her marriage to rthe late pr. J. W. Burton, was Miss Annie Eliza Higgins of Newberne Ala, sister of pr. Jacob Higgins, and was much beloved for her many beautiful traits of character.
 Although a sufferer from several att tacks of sickness in the past few years, and quite recently she seemed to have recovered her health and strength, and the news that she had been stricken so suddenly was fearful shock to the en- tire community, so unprepared 1t was for such sad tidings.
 On Sunday at o'clock concourse of friends attended her funeral, which was conducted at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Hackney, by the Rev. w. s. Brown, and concluded at Oak Hill cemetery by the Rev. John Miller.
 It would be vain for one to attempt to say how deeply Mrs. Burtons loss is felt and how we will miss her.
 The affection felt for her by those who knew her best and the high esteem in which we held her, and more in all her indescribable character, that marked her as woman above the common mold.
 All of these are links which VIII hold her forever in grateful and loving nem- ory Sweet be her slumber. and happy her waking. No kinder heart ever beat than hers so lately stilled in death. If every good deed meets it's reward in that life beyond surely her rewards are many and great, for many are they who can say of her, q was hungry and she gave me meat; naked and she clothed me: sick and imprisoned and she visited me." For each such act the Master says, 'In- asmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me-"
 Farewell! these feeble words of at- tempted tribute. J. C. B.
 She leaves four sons and two daugh-, ters to mourn her loss, namely, DE J. H. Burton of Adamsville, J. w. and w. B. Burton of Birmingham and w. H.. Burton of Selma; Mrs Jessie Erwin of Boyles and Mrs. A. B. Aldridge of Amer fca

Guard Your Baby Against the Summer

" If only the baby gets through the summer all right '" In thou sands of mothers minds that thought is running night and day. Yet sum- mer need hold no terror for you if the baby is fed right. Nestle's Food will make this summer easy for you, as it has made the summer easy for other mothers for forty years.
 You are right to guard against the Summer. Summer diarrhea is the cause of more deaths than all the other children's diseases put together, and it's chief cause is impure milk. Time and again, doctors have said that milk, as it comes from the COW, is no substitute for mothers milk; because cows milk contains indigestible curds and because it is full of germs.
 But cows milk contains much that is good for the baby. Preserve the good parts, eliminate the bad parts, add some vital elcments-and the result is Nestle's Food. Mothers and doctors have agreed in consider ing it the best substitute for mothers milk for two generations 1; and that's because it contains practically the same elements as mothers milk. d
 Nestle's Food is the purest, richest cows milk, procured in sanitary dairies, from selected cows, purified and modified under scien- tifc directions, and reduced to a powder. Just add water, boil it two minutes and it is all ready for the baby-a delicate, perfect, digest ible, nourishing food that will ward off the summer terrors, and bring your baby through the. hot days, cheerful and happy.
 For forty years mothers have relied on Nestle's. For forty summers they have found that the bone and muscle supplied by Nestle's fought off summer disease. You will find that, helped out by Nestle's Food, your baby, too, will meet the summer as lightly as the

His groans and cries again awakened his wife, who once more appeared at the screen door, and just as she turned the knob he yelled:

 "Please come inside the house." pleaded his loving wife.
 "Never," said he. "Ill stick 1t out or die"
