A marriage which will be a surprise and of Interest to their many friends was that of Miss Phota R. Keeling and Mr. Orrln A. Plckerell, which took place Sunday afternoon at the home of the bride’s parents, on Woodward avenue. Dr. John E. White, assisted by Dr. C. E. Dowman, officiating. The only attendants were: Miss Lou la Keeling, sister of the bride, maid of honor, and Mr. Robert R. Shropshire, best man. Owing to Illness In the hrlde'a fami ly, the wedding was a quiet one, only the most Intimate friends of the bride and groom being present. Immediately after the ceremony Mas ter Frederick Hood White, the young nephew of the bride, was christened. Mrs. Plckerell Is the fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. R.

A DISTINGUISHED VI8ITOR Within the next few days Atlanta will have a distinguished visitor In Judge Charlton, of Savannah, who Is well and prominently known here. The purpose of his visit to Atlanta will be to address the legislature, both senate and house, In behalf of the Oglethorpe monument fund, In which all patriots are Interested. For over a year the K trlotlc societies of the state have en raising funds for the monument, and Judge Charlton hopes to obtain an appropriation from the legislature In addition to money already donated by the societies. It Is a conspicuous and deplorable fact that Georgia, as a stae, has paid no tribute to the great man, and It Is believed that Judge Charlton will succeed In obtaining an appro- piiatlon and that a handsome menu ment to Oglethorpe will be ereted In Bavannah.

Hla London house In Berkeley Square la the center of a very brilliant coterie of distinguished people, of which hla wife, now Lady Northcllffe, Is the leading figure. She Is looked upon ag one of the most beautiful women In London, and her wit and brilliant repartee are among her unusual charms At twenty Harmsworth was a poor and struggling journalist; at thirty, a millionaire and before he wns forty he wns made n baronet, nnd Is known as SOUTHERN GIRLS IN NEW YORK.

We Send for Prescriptions and Deliver Free Atlanta Agents for Candy 80c Pound l»h peerage. He waa created a baronet In 1904. This famous English editor has expressed some very peculiar views regarding the matrimonial pref erences of Anterlcnn w men, views that are being combatted very vigorously In the columns of the Now York dallies. Among other things Harmsworth said a few days ago: "The moat Interesting thing about America la her women—at least that la what Englishmen think, and we ought to know, for we have In London tho very flower of American womnnhood— women of your country who have mar ried our men, and who never come over to tills aide unless It may bo to make 'mamma' a brief visit or to see how the States have grown. "The American girls like our men better than she does the American; It's because he knows better how to treat her." "I have studied the American girl, not a title bit," continued the English edi tor, "anil It Is after much careful ob servation that I have come to the con clusion that our men make better hus bands for the American girl than your own men. The American woman likes him better. "What the American woman—what any woman likes—Is to be adored; to be made much of—to be worshipped. In truth, and that Is where the Rngltsh- 1nan has advantage over the Ameri can. 11c mlorcs, worships, lavishes hts affection on his wife. •The American calls us a stupid lot; he loves to tell the American girl those stories, referring to the slow-going wits of the average Englishman: the En glishman may be stupid—I don’t think so—but If he Is, Ids stupidity Is of a sort that appeals to the American girl i much that she marries him. "Let the American man deny that! I can prove what I say by statistics- actual figures. "While the American Is busy making money for his wife, the Englishman Is busy making love to his.

"Your men, 1 take It, are too much In | a hurry In their love affairs. They I ■rush’ a girl. That word is strictly 1 American in the sense I have Just used It, and very apropos ot the methods your men pursue. The. Englishman never rushes In anything, particularly not In matters tllat affect his heart. A woman Is flattered by the time he takes In his love making. “American men may make fairly good lovers before marriage; they, may shower their fiancees with American beauties; they may atuff sweets down their pretty throats; they may provide all aorta of entertainment, but It la so palpably lavished upon the girl that aho becomes surfeited with the purely matorlal demonstrations of the man’* affection. "He forgets to tell her that he lovea her; In his business like way, he re calls the day when he honored her with the avowal of hla affection and looks with pride upon the four-karat soli taire, or the band or brilliants which gleam upon her third right-hand An ger, and like that famou* 'Ad,' thinks 'nuf ced.’ "But with us It la different. A man la more devoted after he Is married than before, and while he doesn't buy roses by the ton, he does not forget the bunch of violets or the roadside buttercup, It might be, of which he has heard his wife express herself as fond, on some happy occasion In the peat—an occasion which ahe may have forgotten until reminded of It through the forgetfulness and sentiment ot her husband.” Referring to the American women In letters, Lord Northcllffe accorded her the highest praise. "Your American women are today the world's leading novelists," he said. "Take Mrs. Whar ton, who writes so charmingly, Mrs. Cralgie, Mr*. Atherton, Baroness Von Hutton—ahe, too, la an American girl— and what wonderful work they have all done for letters The American woman la a wonderful production, for ah* can do so many things so well. But In lit erature ahe I* truly great.” JEFFERSON.

Wllllan. forth Martin, of Atlanta who la spending some time at Keswick, Va, will be read With great Interest by her many friends In the city, and In other parts of Georgia Mra. Martin writes: In coating about as where to go for the summer and contemplating the many desirable places held out to me, at the last moment I decided I would for awhile cast my lot once more amidst the hospitable people of the dear old state of Virginia—for dear I la to me—being the home of my an castor* and that of my husband. I am most delightfully domiciled In the home of my friend, Mrs. Thurman, who doubtless will be pleasantly remem be red by many In Atlanta as Mlsa Liz sle Tate Gill, of Memphle, Tenn., who waa the popular gueat of Mra. W. B. Lowe, now Mrs. Gunter, a few years ago. Keswick la a noted old place origl najly settled by the Pages and Roger*. It I* said doubtless Dr. Page named Keewlck for the home of the poet Southey, In Cumberland cqunty, Eng land. Adjacent to Keswick are many noted old estates. The Bata of those who have IlYed here, and nearby, is long and honored one, Mahy names are of such national celebrity that I feel an account of those who bore them and the homes which so reflected their personality will be of more than local Interest. Wirt to truly expressed It when he said, "the people of Albe merle were the society of nature," at like the beauties of nature around them they partook ot the beautiful In character— It Is here we And the old home steads of Virginia’s Illustrious sons, who have long since passed Into the unknown, but whose homes are pre served, and their memories cherished, The noted home of Thomas Jefferson, 8 miles distant (distances, by the way, to Virginian*, aeem of nimporte), doubtless next to Mt. Vernon there le no place In the United States that has been more written of or more visited than Montlcello (Italian for little mountain.) We were fortunate In be ing the guests at a reception a few evenings since given at this grand old place by Mr. and Mra. Von Mayhoff, ■liter of the present owner, Hon. Jef ferson Levy, of New York, who, to all appearances. Is still enjoying the pleasures of "single blessedness," and t la to Mrs. Von Mayhoff he looks to ■islet him In doing the honors ot the home. Mr. Levy has shown his fine Judgment In preserving, as near as possible, the house es it was originally, only renovating It aa to the preserva tion ot same. The drive to this home la over a smooth and easily graded road which winds gracefully around "Carter's Mountain,” bringing t'ne traveler to the "Notch," or first summit, almost before he realises It. Here stands a porter's lodge with artistic double gates through which vehicles enter upon the Montlcello domain proper, and aa one begin* to ascend the "Little Mountain' in which the manelon sits a mile __ ive, an Immense bell that la sus pended above the gate la rung to an nounce the coming of visitors. Enter ing from the eastern portico with Its lofty Corinthian plllara and- arched door, over which la still seen the old English clock which marks the hours. The visitor le here met and ushered through large double glass doors Into a spacious seml-octagonal hall with Its wide flreplace at one end, as Is us ually found In old English mansions. Opposite the door le a small gallery which on one side of It stands a line marble bust of the patriot himself, and on the other, one of Washington, both by the celebrated Italian artist, Car racci. Frc-m this hall opens another glue door leading Into the drawing room or aalon, being the largest and handaomeat room In the house and sit uated Immediately under the dome. This room Is also octagonal. Its floors being laid In parquetry of octagonal blocka of different colored wood, which were cut by hi* own colored workmen, giving It a moat unique and pleasing effect and which for skill challenge* the genlu* of a more Intelligent race. The belief that Mr. Jefferaon Imported from England moat of tha brick used Is quits erroneous: all of these were made upon the spot by his own slaves and the site ot their manufacture le ■till pointed out. General Tarleton came to Montlcel lo at the head of the English arm* to capture Jefferson, who wu warned by a friend, and escaped through an un derground passage which ends In an opening part of the way down the tires In Amerlcus. Mrs. Emily McDougall returned Mon day from Athena. M'-s Estelle Whelan, who hu been Is out again. Mr. Tom Perrin hu returned from Chattanooga. GRESHAM ASHFORD SHOE CO. 93 PEACHTREE ST. BETHLEHEM.

Professor J. L. Moore le attending the singing convention In Marietta this Editor Carlefeld. of The Walton Newa, wu In our city Monday. John F. Noweia on the sick Hat mountain. This opening has been marked by a rough stone arch. Hu- tory says that Tarleton wu so ang-v on finding that Jefferson had escatwd that he rode hla horse straight through the house, and the impression of the horse’s hoofs were visible on the hand- some floor for many years. By order of congress a new menu- ment hu lately been erected upon the site of the old and battered abaft which stood over hie grave In the little bury. Ing ground by the roadside to the left u one goea toward the valley from Jefferson’s home. The new monument bears the Inscription from the old stone which hu been piously removed to the campus of the University of the state of Mluourt at Columbia. He re quested that at hla death the follow ing Inscription be-put upon his tomb: "Here Is buried Thomas Jefferson, au thor of the Declaration of Independ- ence, of the Btatute of Virginia for Religious Freedom and Father of the University of Virginia. Born April 3, 1743, O. S. Died July 4, 1824." Evidently ho didn’t place much stress on having been president of these Uni ted States, for any who hold the po litical string* could pull them In their favor, but the thing he apparently val ued moat was that he had accomplish ed what none other had or could here after do. “Pantopa,” one of Jefferson's old farms, formerly written "Pant-Ops." from two Greek words, meaning "all seeing,” significant of (be extended view from Its summit, stands under the shadow of Montlcello Immediately op posite on the north side of the river. In the year 1877 after the death of Cap tain Anderson, Pantops passed Into the hands of Rev. Edgar Woods, who had been pastor of the Presbyterian Church In Charlottesville, compelled hy falling health to relinquish his charge, he removed to Pantops, and there open ed a smalt school for boys, chiefly to educate hla own sons. Such was the upon urgent entreaties of hts friends and neighbors for Its continuance he wu compelled to greatly enlarge and improve the old mansion of forty years previous, which wu, even then, In sound preservation, though unsulied to modern requirements. Failing health, however, compelled him to give up hla Increased labors, and In 1884 Pantopa wu again sold to Professor John R. Sampson, who had for eight years filled with distinction the chair of ancient languages at Davidson Col lege, N, C. Upon taking possession of the school. Professor Sampson found It necessary to again greatly enlarge Its facilities to meet the rapidly Increased patronage, and at once erected a large, three-story building with all of Ita modern Improvements for lecture rooms, study hall, library, etc., as well as other outside buildings, as dormi tories, gymnulum, bathing rooms, un til now the classic summit of "Pan- tops” Is crowned with many stately and Imposing buildings, which like s "city set on a hill,” send* forth Iti light to all part* of the world, many nf Ita graduates being In foreign lands, while others are tilling high and hon ored positions In our own. "Edgehllt" mansion; the home of the Randolphs, next to Montlcello In his toric celebrity, of It I could write much of Interest, but space forbids It will, however, be lotog remembered and also dear, not only to the hearts of Vir ginians, but to the very many In the far South who have spent there so many happy days amid all that la pure, refined and elevating. It Is said If there la any place hy man's creation which - approaches the great secret of nature like the untouch ed woods, or tho ocean's roar which calls forth our solemn admiration, that place la "Cutle Hill.” This name will at once recall to the minds of many u thp old home of Amelia Rives, now “Princess Troubetskoy,” who still, I am told, spends a greater part of her time there. To visitor* ta attll pointed nut the room where at the window fronting the lawn, stands her little rocking chair and the table upon which she wrote "The Quick or the Dead" and others Of her productions. Mrs. Rives, the mother of Princess Troubetskoy, has ex tended a very cordlaMnvItatlon to my hoateaa to bring her gueat to visit the place, and that pleasure I have In an ticipation for the week following. I could writs ad Inflnltum of the In numerable grand old historical homes In and around Keawlck, but I realize I have already wrlten at too great a length.
