Women Help Cook Feast.
j. Lee Barnes, manager OF the Ma
lestic Hotel. and one of Atlanta's moss
noted preparers Of good things to eat
has been busy in the Auditorium
kitchen all day Tuesday aided by a
score of cooks and a score Of Atlanta
women, who. while they are not privi-
eyed to eat of the feast are priVi-
eyed to, and do think just as mu n
81 Georgia as the men-and they are
willing to help make the celebration
h success.
They have spent the entire morn
ing and will spend most OF the after
noon, seeing that everything goes
right; that Just the right amount OF
seasoning and spice goes into the
food that the turkey does not get
burnt and that the biscuits come out
brown and wholesome. The flowers
that have been grown in Georgia and
will be used to decorate the long Ia
bles are being placed by expert hands
and the big hall is being transformed
into a bower of beauty typically Geor-
gian.
And the speakers, too, are ready.
They have spent the morning in silent
meditation. engaged in the tremen-
5ous task of thinking of all the things
that have made Georgia the Empire
state of the South; they have evolved
their rounded phrases, their brilliant
epigrams, and their choicest jokes
and nothing now remains for them
but to mount their steed OF fine Ian
guage and scale the slippery heights
Of oratory.
Everything is ready,
Whole State Prepared.
The committee that procured all
the good things TO eat; that has
stirred up enthusiasm in Atlanta until
the city is filled almost to overflow
ing with the new Georgia spirit; that
has made It possible for $50 Allan

some work. and found there is moth
ing more to do.

ucts Day. made an official State wide
celebration by Governor Slaton and
14s Georgia Mayors, and Georgians
have gone ahead with the prepara-
tons with such vigor that there re-
mains nothing to do but sit down
and eat and hear the speakers and
get up with new knowledge OF the
greatness of their State.
In rs towns and so counties din
ners will be served between noon and
s o'clock tonight, at which every
thing eaten will have been raised or
manufactured in Georgia; when al
most everything worn will have been
made in Georgia, and when every
thought and expression will be of the
State and it's resources.
Speakers who have achieved the
lasting fame that Georgians accord
only to Georgians will scale the
heights Of oratory in an attempt &c
do justice to the greatness of the
State.
