by again becoming the unfinished bus
mess, a position 1t occupied two weeks
ago. 1t will come before the Senate
automatically at the conclusion of to-
morrow mornings business and the
vote ordered today probably will be
taken before adjournment Although
Senator Bacon made a vigorous attack
upon investigation of the conduct of
state officials by the Senate and warned
against such an invasion" of state
rights, Senator Goff announced that he
did not intend to fight further against
its adoption and it was generally
agreed that it would be passed.
Fresh Amendments

labor committee, the resolution car
ries two fresh amendments one call
ing for an investigation of whether

with trade and transportation of coal

by Vice President Marshall, after SEN
ator kernt prime mover for an inyest-
cation. ed for unanimous side of
New York.
He added that their request that the
date of going into effect of the tar
if rates be postponed was being given
serious onsideration. Senate subcom-
mittees which will close oral hearings
tomorrow night, were pushed to the
limit all day and tonight, some of them

before Senator Williams committee ap-
pealed for exemption on the income tax
of all insurance business done for mu
tual benefit and protection and not for
profit and maintained that companies
such as his came under that classifica-
tion. The committee took the matter
under advisement after Mr.. Kingsley
had given the assurance that the en-
tire surplus of the New York Life COM
pany was held in reserve for the par
ticipation of policy holders
In the Senate. Senator Cummins ques-
toned the methods by which experts
of the finance committee had reduced
the specific rates in the Payne -Aldrich
bill to the equivalent ad valorem rates
in the Underwood bill. He said that the
equivalents were misleading in many
instances. Senator Simmons said ne
would endeavor to ascertain the meth
DDS employed by the experts.

Miss Clara Thornton and her uu-
Gle, Mr.. McKoin, caught a big, fat
'possum Saturday morning in a tall
oak in their backyard. Miss Clara
heard crashing noise in the tree
and thought it must be a dead limb
falling, but when she looked closely
she saw the gray 'possum had caught
on one of the lower branches. She
called MIR. McKoin, who dislodged
the intruder with a long pole and
bestowed him upon their colored
servant, who promptly declared he
would have feast on Sunday
Partridges have also been making
themselves quite at home this fall in
gardens and baekyards along Wash
ington avenue.
Not long ago very large oak
tree in a Lawrence street yard be-
gan to shed it's leaves and it was on
Sunday afternoon, when every
thing was still. The leaves were
red and thick and as they fell, rus
thing to the ground, produced a noise
exactly like flames. 1t was startling
and seemed as if a house must be
burning down. The next morning
most of the leaves were gone.

such losses Mrs. Cater lost MANY
things, too, in that disastrous fire,
but friends replaced them over and
over. To return, however, to the
lemon bush: Have you been along
Washington avenue lately? Well, it
is worth walking to the cemetery
just to see that ponderosa lemon tree
on Mrs. Whites front porch. 1t was
full of blossoms and tiny fruit.
which all fell off, leaving only three
lemons to mature. They are very
large now and almost ripe and the
tree Is budding again. Lemon and
orange trees are not SO much bottle:
to cultivate in this climate and they
are so interesting, although they
never lose the dignified reserve of all
true aristocrats.

A SCENE ENHANCING.

II you did not attend Mrs. Bos-
tons afternoon at home you missed
beautiful series of living pictures.
At the threshold stood Mrs. Herbert
Clay, in a costume of creamy lace
and yellow satin, with her rich dark
hair brushed in simple rolls from
her face, with long jet earrings and
an old-fashioned long black chain
with a cross falling far below her
waist, and her great dark eyes beam
ing cordial welcome-a picture oe
candor and sincerity.
Next to her was Mrs. d. c. Cole,
a blonde coquette from the top of her
curly golden coiffure to the tips Of
her red slippers. encased in
Partisan creation of black satin with
tunic and sash of jet that tried to
soften and subdue the ffowerlike
beauty it served rather to enhance.
Opposite these two stood Mrs. r.
A. Granting, very stately in black
lace over black satin, with bouquet
of pink carnations Beside her Mrs.
c. T. Nolan, like a modest primrose
in pale yellow crepe with brown fur
giving a soft finish
Next to these, in front of the great
open fireplace, stood Mrs. Will Du
Pre- in white lace and pink brocaded
satin, Mrs. Adrian Cortelyou in april
cot yellow brocaded crepe, trimmed
in narrow bands of brown fur, and
Mrs. Tom Wallace, like daisy in
white lace
In the receiving line Mrs. Boston
was a gorgeous blossom with a tas-
selled bandau of pearls in her fluffy
dark hair, giving an Oriental touch
to her beauty, and next to her was
the dovelike plumpness of Mrs.
Joseph M. Brown, in a dull blue
crepe, finished with gold lace; next
to her Mrs. Mills Mcneil, whose
smile Is like the fragrance of a how-
er, in yellow silk and white lace;
then Mrs. Floyd Northcutt, as dainty
and lovely as sweetbrier rose ia
pink charmeuse with a corsage of La
France roses; then Mrs. M. M. Ses-
sions, like a snowy blossom in bro
caded crepe de chine, trimmed in
rose point lace, and a bouquet of
Parma violets; then Mrs. T. U.
Hutchinson, like gentle pigeon in
softest gray crepe de chine and pur-
pie violets; then Mrs. Paul Akin, a
brilliant brunette, stood
"In beauty, like the night
OF cloudless climes and starry skies"
wearing light cinnamon crepe de
chine and pink carnations; and last

DAY evening. A color scheme of yell
low was beautifully carried out in
the centerpiece of blooming narcissi,
with decoration of tulle on the fern
dish in which it stood, in the grape
rrult, the salad and the minis, while
the Thanksgiving season was sug-
gested by the turkey and the place
cards with messages appropriate to
the season. A delightful evening was
spent IN conversation after dinner
by the congenial company.

A FAMILY REUNION.

On Thanksgiving Day of the past
week there was an unusual family
reunion of the Goodwin family at
TIE home of Mr.. ]. S. Goodwin, on
Holland street. 1t was unusual on
account of the large number assem-
bled. The Oldest one present was
Grandma Mahorn, the mother CT
Mrs. V. L. Goodwin, whose home Is
near Lost Mountain. Then comes
the three elderly brothers, j. 5.
Goodwin, Sr. ]. H. Goodwin and
V. L. Goodwin. These men, though
about three score and ten years old,
have not withdrawn from the activi-
ties of life. Two of them are farm
ers and one mechanic
With them were their wives ami
some of their children. Mrs. S. ].
Orr, a sister, lives a few miles in
the country; V. L. Goodwin and
wife are from Burkburneth, Tex,
though they once lived in Cobb
county.
1t was in Texas that Rev. G S.
Tumlin was thrown with them, and a
friendship here sprung up between
them. For that reason DR.. and Mrs.
Tumlin were invited to be present
and participate in the social festivi-
ties of the occasion.
Prof. G. L. Lindsey and wife, of
Springfield, Md, were present; also
A. S. Goodwin and wife, of Knox
vile, Tenn.
In all. about fifty-eight were pres
ent, With the exception of Pastor
Tumlin and wife and neighbor F. M.
Watson and family, all these were
relatives.
Many hearts were made glad, but
some could not escape sadness when
they remembered that before anoth-
er reunion would be possible some
would pass over to join the innumer-
able company in the Land that is
fairer than day"
The dining-room was too small
for such large gathering, so tables
were spread in the porch and loaded
with tempting eadibles, the appe-
tite OF all being gratified.
After dinner, at the request of
those present, DR.. Tumlin made a
talk on THE Pleasures of the Hour
and the Satisfaction of Family Ne
cessities."
Pictures were taken of the group
and will be priced as souvenirs of the
occasion.
v. L. Goodwin and wife have re-
turned to their Texas home, and
Professor Lindsey and wife will go
to Florida in a few days for the
winter.

MRS. BENSON'S BIRTHDAY.

Last Thursday was Mrs. R. E.
Benson's birthday and was celc-
brated by surprise party. All her
married children appeared with their
families and baskets filled with de-
llcious viands of various kinds for a
Thanksgiving dinner, and a Benson
dinner at any time is a feast to be
thankful for. A happy day was
spent and the happiest one, no doubt,
was the sweet and gentle grand
mother of so many bright-eyed lit
tie Bensons.

but the inclement weather kept some

the pretty violinist had played more.
