GIVE UP HOME
LIFE To TANGO

Atlanta, Ca, July 90.-The tango is
making still more inroads on home
life in Atlanta, according to real estate
men. They say that dozens of society
families have listed their handsome
homes for sale and gone to live in
the hotels so they can dance from
morning until midnight without hav-
ing the servant problem or the groc-
eryman's call to bother them.
Several Atlanta hotels are catering
especially to the family idea, and
many of the new apartment houses
have restaurants attached so that the
tenenants need do no Housekeeping
Now everything is easy. All father
has to do is to dig up the money and
turn it over to wifey, and she has
twice as much time to spend it.

SOLVE PROBLEM Of
SUMMER OUTING

Atlanta, July 30.-Mr. w. 2. Middle

Druid Hills in Atlanta, was worrying
bit this summer over his familys
usual outing. He wanted to get away
from the hot asphalt and the noise,
but ready money was little short
and his family was rather large one
to outfit for a fashionable resort.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Thompson, who
live in nice little place of thous-
and inhabitants, one of the prettiest
towns in Georgia, didn't have anything
particular to do this summer, and
wished they could afford to take the.
children and go to the city for while
They were figuring on hotel expenses.
and giving up the idea when letter
came.
Here's letter from Cousin VIII
Middleton, in Atlanta" said Mrs.
Thompson. They all want to come
to the country for while, and ask
about renting a place"
Let's swap them ours" suggested
one of the children And that is what
actually happened.
The Middletons packed up and went
to the country and the Thompson's
turned over the COW and the horse
and the chickens to them aud hiked
for Atlanta and the house near Druid
Hills. They have lived in each 9TH
ers houses for three weeks now and
their letters say that everybody is
happy, except that Mr.. Middleton ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
learning to milk the COW and Mrs
Thompson had a dickens of a time
cooking on the Atlanta gas stove
without having an explosion.
That looks like an idea more folks
than the Middletons could carry out

SPEAKER BURWELL IS
POPULAR WITH HOUSE

Atlanta, July 3O.-Speaker W. H.
Burwell, a veteran member of the
house, is proving himself this session
a presiding officer whose iron hand is
concealed so skillfully beneath the
velvet glove that even those who
may be displeased with his rulings
find it impossible to get mad at him.
He has kept the house closely at work
and the sessions have been unusually
free from that squabbling on the floor
which easily would spring up under q
less diplomatic ruler.
Mr.. Burwell was paid a high com
pliment yesterday afternoon in the
debate when Mr.. Moss, of Cobb askel
whether or not it were true that the
house is afraid of the rules commit
tee.
"On the contrary" returned Speak
er Burwell. THE chair knows that
the members are red-6looded men
who are afraid of neither the commit
tee nor the speaker"
A round of applause swept over
the house which indicated the regard
in which Speaker Burwell is held.

AFTER 9 YEARS
J.B. dunn RIDES
over The CITY
MANY VIEWS INTEREST HIM
First Trip to Business Dis
triCt in Years

When Mr. James B. Dunn rode up
town yesterday afternoon, and looked
for the first time upon the Allison
building, the postoffice and other
structures erected years ago, he ex-
pressed admiration and satisfaction
thereat, as well as upon the general
growth and commercial progress of
Americus, where he has resided for
80 years but many portions of which
he had not before seen for nearly a
decade of years.
The paved streets in the business
district interested him, as, when he
went to his home two blocks away on
Jackson street, nearly nine years ago,
Mr.. Dunn waded the mud upon the
business streets, then unsightly, un-
paved and very generally unkept.
While uptown for brief time yes
terday he saw young men whom he
had last looked upon as school boys
and street urchins. Many Of these had
married since he last met them play
ing ball on the old courthouse square.
Many strange scenes and strange
faces greeted the eyes of Mr.. Dunn, to
whom everything here was once so
very familiar. But, as is we'll known,
Mr.. Dunn has for many years been in
i'll health and, while not confined to
his room, he had not been upon the
streets in nine years. Yesterday, his
good neighbor, Mr.. B. E. Turner, took
the invalid for short drive. The re-
suit was a revelation to this quondam
active citizen.
Mr.. Dunn is one Of Americus most
respected citizens, and was for many
years tax collector. of Sumter county
and a merchant here as well. i'll
health has long confined him to his
home here, and this little respite af-
forded him by "Neighbor" Turner will
ever be a verdant oasis in memory's
vista.

Actual Fighting Begins.

London, July 30-A newspaper de5-
patch from Rome says sharp resist
ance is being offered to the Austrian
advance from the northwest by sma
detachments of Servian troops left to
impede their progress. The news
comes from Nish, Servia, by way of
Saloniki.
The Austro-Hungarian invaders fol-
lowed the valley of the river Moral-
va and first encountered a body OF
Servian troops at Semendria on the
Servian side of the Danube. The
Servians held their ground until
nightfall and then retired. Both Aus
trians and Servians sustained heavy
losses, several hundred soldiers being
killed in the engagement.
On the western side of servia an
Austrian column came into contact
with a Servian force at Losnitza,
which put up a stubborn defense and
held the fort there until dark, infict-
ing heavy losses on the Austrians.
The southern Austrian column in the
Bosnia remained stationary today,
awaiting the movement of the Monte
negrin troops.
