GEORGIA LOSES
 VALUABLE CITIZEN
Another of the Constructive Agriculturists Passes in
 John ByrOm's Death

Atlanta, January 2.-(Special.)- .)--The death in Atlanta the other day of John s. Byron removes another of the construc- tive agrieulturists of Georgia, men of unique and interesting ability in develop ment who while building for themselves have contributed remarkably to state progress.
 John 8. Byrom was the founder and builder of Rgromville, In Dooly county, a town that possesses its bank, it's stores, it's railroad, it's electric plant and which has grown to be one of the most enter prsing communities of it's size in the state.
 Byromvlle is one of the Georgia towns that has been dug out of the ground MT Byrom was first and foremost far mer next he was a good business man, and it was the combination of the two that built Byromville and made it town that is, in a way. rich and prosperous. MT. Byrom was in possession of some II GOO acres of land in Dooy and Crisp counties at the time of his death, and his income had grown enormously. His sons, William I. and Seymour B. Byron. were In business with him, and upon these will deVolvC the continuance of the business and the further progress of the com munity
 Mir Byron was just such another de- veloper as the late Capt. T. J. James of Adrian. Adrian, in the western end of Emanuel county, was built up into a thriving and prosperous community by Captain James, In very much the same manner as Byromvile In building for themselves, these men Were both of ma terial assistance to others, and have been always surrounded by happy homes filled with contented people.
 There are comparatively few men in Georgia who have built prosperous towns out of the soil as have these two, and whenever one of them goes, 1t means q loss to the state of a valuable asset.

BOIL WEEV|L MAKES ADVENT IN NEWTON

Meridian, Miss, January 2.-tSpecial.)- An effort is being made by the progress sive citizens Of Newton county, directly west of and adjoining Lauderdale county, to secure an experimental station and demonstration for that county. The peo- pie declare that the advent of the boil weevil in that county last year in small numbers. is an indication that the coming season will demand the attention of experts to save the people from the ravages of the awful pest. There areNno state demonstration farms in this part of the state and it is believed that the coming of the boil weevl will bring a farm to this and to Newton county. Aside from the boil weevil contention that is being made the citizens are striving to bring about a diversiiication of their crops and to do. this they declare that they must have a demonstration farm where the farmers may be taught and where they may get new ideas and new methods under expert management. An effort will be made to secure through the New Orleans and Mississippi Central rail- road and the Alabama and Vicksburg railroad assistance in this direction.

COLORED PEOPLE
 HAVE CELEBRATION

Meridian, Miss. January 2.--tSpeciaL) A great celebration was held in this citys on New Years day by the col ored people of Meridian and surround ing territory. The meeting was called an emancipation proclamation gather ing. Prominent, colored speakers were present to deliver addresses and an elaborate programme was rendered by the colored people.

 Among the important issues to be brought up at this meeting will be the selection of permanent place of meet ing. Meridian will no doubt be the suc- cessful contender for the permanent meet ing place of the lodge, as this city is the only place in the state that can ac- commodate the entire body.

PRETTY TABLE FAv0RS
DECIDED NOVELTIES THAT ARE
EASY TO FASHION,.
Any Number OF Devices to Choose
From-Bunehes Of Sweetmeat
Fiowers-Plnk Roses for the
Birthday Cake.

The popularity OF the little velvet
or silk bunch OF flowers for the cor
sage, with beautifully chosen colors-
bright ones or weary" ones together
only In one bunch-hss led to the
fashion abroad of another sort of lit
tie posy.
They are choosing punches OF sweet
meat flowers for the table. and very
pretty these are and quite easy to
make.
You get green-covered wire and q
spirit lamp. You burn one end OF the
wire In the flame and when red-hot
you stick into a piece OF melted su.
gar. which hardens and binds the
stem to the flower.
Then you make wires for separate
petals and coat them with sugar icing
and tint them, say. pink or white for
roses. mauye for yiolets. and use eth
er spinach-colored icing or else an
gelica for the leaves. Orange drops
you heat and roll in granulated sugar
for centers of the flowers. The de-
vices may be very numerous.
For instance. you may make the
dearest little bunch Of white sweet
meat snowdrops to lay by each plate.
or one OF red autumn berries, tiny
dahlias. daisies-what not. Arrange
a fiat bunch OF pink roses and II
charmingly decorates a birthday cake.
The greatest fun Is to have a diff
ferent flower to lay before each plate
at a dinner table. All sorts of ready
made sweets, tiny TO big. that you get
at a confectioner's may be pressed in
TO the service. and split. skinned Jor-
dan almonds make good petals; red
comfits may be adopted for pimper-
nels, and so on.
Twist some crystsllized violets or
roses up into a bunch. adding leaves
and wire, and pop this into a little
basket. and to the handle fasten some
violet flowers. and you have a dainty
little ornament to set on the table at
dessert.
