Beads With Flower Odor

Some one asks about making beads that look and smell like flowers. I have been told that orange buds are dipped in melted paraffine and strung for beads that retain the odor. I did not see any myself, but am told that they are pretty.
 "C. M" While doubting respectfully that oiled orange buds retain form and fragrance, dispute nothing until I have proof to sus- tain my doubt. We turn over to readers the inquiry into the authenticity of what our correspondent mentions as a rumor. The fancy is graceful, and the bud beads must be pretty if tl1ey are firm and smell like orange blossoms.

Report of Stanley,
Commissioner OF Labor

Atlanta, Ca, July 1.-The
second annual report of H. M.
Stanley, commissioner of COM
merce and labor, is ready for dis.
tribution at the state capitol. In
addition to the statistics there is
a story of Georgia which deals
with every section and mentions
in detail all the states resources.
1t is shown that Georgia was
the first state to establish a de-
partment of agriculture, and
Hon. James Galloway of Macon
is quoted as saying that the late
Henry C. FuqUa of Laurens coun-
ty was first to discover the ferti-
hzing qualities of cotton seed. 1t
is shown that the early construc-
ton of railroads centered around
Augusta and that William Long,
street Of Augusta was really the
inventor of the steamboat.
Commissioner Stanley pays a
high tribute to Georgia news
papers.
''The daily papers of Georgia
are among the most influential
of the whole country and the
weeklies are easily, as a class,
better, more influential, more
progressive, more public spirited,
that the same class Of publica-
tons found anywhere else."

Forest Adair, Master
Builder of Atlanta

Atlanta, Ca, July 2. The re-
cent issue of Hearst's Magazine
pays striking tribute to a Geor-
gia man in an article by John
Temple Graves, :" Forrest Adair,
Master Builder of Atlanta. The
article is BASED especially on
Mr.. Adair's masterfui work in
bringing the Shriners to Atlanta
and giving them such a royal en-
tertainment, but it shows a great
deal of the personal side of
the n1an who has often been cal
led "Atlanta's First Citizen.
"The reconstruction period of
the South has developed many
strong and virile men, writes
Colonel Graves, ''Out of the labor
and travail of spirit and flesh in
which many a dashing young
Southerner shed his froth and
frippery in a night and put on
the whole garment of manliness
and endeavor, there came a good
ly company of the finest young
men marching in the gallant
forefront of that miracle of re-
cuperation which we call the
New South. Forrest Adair of
Atlanta is one of these"
For lbs years Forrest Adair
has reached his Office every
morning at z o'clock precisely
and has been hard at work be-
fore most men were called to
breakfast. He has earned every
dollar Of the million or more he
now possesses in the conduct of
his business, and he never made
a cent by speculation in cotton
exchanges"
