who joined. the funeral cortege at
Atlanta, Ga, and accompanied it
to pay the last sad respects to their
brother, Rev. A A. Lunmis, re-
turned to their home Thursday
night.
Due to the thoughttulness Of a
few public spirited men, a dress
ing room for the ladies has been
erected next to the mems on
Chaplln's Lake. and swimming
parties, evenings and nights, in
the beautiful body of salt water,
are quite the fad.
"All quiet along the Potomac
except here and there stray pick

started Tuesday night at the close
of the summer term. And for the
next few weeks during their WE'LL

open to the general public during

A rain on Tuesday broke the
long continued dry spell, accom-
