The Atlanta Georgian family got to
gether Thursday night and had the
time of their lives.
Over a hundred employees of the
paper assembled In the dining room of
the Kimball at the bidding of Mr. F. L.
Seely, The .Georgian’s publisher. Of
more than one hundred employees, the
absentees could bo counted on the fin
gers of one hand, and these from un
avoidable causes. Practically all those
who are djrectly connected with the
dally production flf The Georglun were
there, and they enjoyed every minute
of the time.
In addition to the hundred and some-
odd employees, a great many of their
wives were present. Mr. Seely says
every man’s wife should be his part
ner In his work or his business and
that the wife’s Interest In his work and
surroundings make him a better work
man.
Whatever apprehension any one had
before going that It would he a very
formal and a very dressy affair was
quickly relieved.
"Andy’’ McGough did wear his best
green necktie, but he said he couldn’t
find M* other one. There were , name
clever talks from Colonel Graves, Mrs.
Ball and a heart-to-heart talk from
Mr. Seely. There were some very In
teresting stereopticon views, with ex
planatory words about each—a quick
but delightful Journey to out-of-the-
way nooks of the world.
The banquet was not a banquet Ban
quets are formal and for formal bodies.
But It was a mighty good, appetising
dinner. If there’s anything on this
mundane sphere that Manager Will
Zimmer knows how to do it Is to plan,
prepare and serve good things to eat
for hungry mortals.
And he showed his record-breaking
nbility last night by handling In addi
tion to the big Georgian dinner of over
ono hundred and twenty-five plates,
throe other big banquets—four under
ono roof,
A delay in the scheduled hour of 7
o’clock of u few minutes—the writer
values his Job too highly to state the
exact cause—hud whetted the appe
tites of the family almost to the raven
ous point. And how the delicious and
substantia! courses did disappear! For
It was a big family gathering. Nobody J t j, e fl r *i | l0U r everybody was so busy
tried to put on style. Nobody was al- ministering to the needs of the Inner
lowed to be formal or feel cramped. man that conversation .was desultory.
Home one Insinuated that Colonel | fond of Mrs. Ball and believed her to
Gruves’ frequent moves to chat with bt* the be*t society editor In the coun-
thls and that member of the big family I try. But she sprang a surprise
was only a clever ruse on his part to
test the quality of sundry extra plates
of bivalves on the shell. Anyway,
everybody had as good and appetising
a dinner ns could be prepared by the
Kimball—which Is saying all that
necessary. •
With that first Important business of
dining out of the way. Colonel Graves
whs called on for an Informal talk.
He glowed with tho spirit of the occa
sion, and was never heard In a happier
vein. It wouldn’t be right to tell what
he said, because he was talking to the
family, and it Isn’t proper to divulge
family affairs. Hunshlne and laughter
and humor and a touch now and then
of deep feeling made It a talk no one
will forget.
Then Mr. Seely talked In his whole
some, hearty way. He took the family
Into his confidence and told them what
The Georgian had accomplished and
the future; Ami those who heai
new xeai and allegiance to this man
w hose life and 'work mean sd much.
Mr. Shirley Victor Brooks, with his
rich, deep basso, rendered that grand
old hymn, "Rooked In the Cradle of the
Deep.” Ho prolonged and hearty was
the appluuse that he responded with
’Believe Me."
The Georgian family has always been
every one. Called on for some re
marks, she made the hit of the even
ing with a brief and witty little talk.
Everybody had previously conceded the
palm to Colonel Graves as the best of
after-dinner speakers, but there Is di
vided opinion In the office now*. And
the colonel has gone over to Mrs. Ball’s
side.
Th4n Mr. Seely took the family for a
little Jaunt around the world. Not tho
regulation views one sees anywhere,
but pictures made by Mr. Seely, which
added the necessary personal touch.
He took the family to odd corners of
the world and to see quaint and cu
rious people.
Every time he got to "Darkest Egypt"
the steroptlcon. In evident sympathy
with the subject, failed. But the trou
ble wus quickly righted and the Inci
dents only added to the merriment.
At 11 o’clock good nights were said
and everybody went home with the
memory of one of the most delightful
evenings of their lives.

L. Seely, Colonel and Mrs. John Temple
