SOMETHING ABOUT THEM
The name of Lycett, in Atlanta, has
become synonymous with high class
china ware. Wm. Lycett, some thirty
years ago, started in a small way to
build up a business which would satis
fy the tastes of those people who loved
to have artistic things in their houses.
Year after year his business grew, and
though he passed away in the very
prime of life, he had, prior to the time
of his death, built up a wide-extended
trade among people who knew values
and appreciated beautiful work.
Some changes in the business after
his death—the latest of which is the
adoption of the present firm name, and
the proprietorship of the business by
Edward C. Lycett. Though one of the
youngest men at the head of a husi
ness in this city, he is also one of the
most efficient and most capable. He has
remodeled the Whitehall Street Store
from top to bottomland under his en
ergetic administration, the Trade Mark
of "Lycett’’ has become more widely
known than ever before. The busi
ness is under the most efficient organ
ization, and everything turned out with
the firm name on it has the same
high quality which was the watchword
of the elder Lycett.
The Lycett firm, and Edward C. Ly
cett in particular, have always been
steadfast friends of the laboring peo
ple. In the days of prosperity, they
have not lost touch or sympathy with
the men who live by their daily labor.
Resulting from this, the popularity of
the firm has been maintained, since
its establishment, among all classes of
people—some attracted by the excel
lency of its work, and some attracted
by the sympathetic disposition of the
Lycetts.
In the course of nature, Edward C.

CLAUDE R. BEACHEM GOES
TO SAVANNAH AS ASSIST
ANT MANAGER BUICK CO.
Atlanta loses and Savannah gains a
J splendid citizen by the removal of Mr.
Claude R. Beachem from the first to
the last named city.
Mr. Beachem, until September 1 gen-
CLAUDE R. BEACHEM,
eral manager of the Taxicab Company,
goes to Savannah to take employment
with a Buick Manufacturing Company,
as assistant manager. During his
residence in Atlanta, Mr. Beachem has
been ten years in service of Southern
Railway, three years in Central Bank,
two years with Buick Company, and
lastly with Taxicab Company.
In every position he has made good
and to spare, and though Atlanta is
loath to spare such men, it is a pleas
ure to us to know that Georgia will
not lose him, for while some people
believe Savannah to be outside the
State of Georgia, we know better, and
believe Savannah will some day re
form itself. To that end we can af
ford to send it a few good citizens.
“LABOR DAY BALL.”
The Atlanta Owls Club will hold a
special ball Monday night, September

The occasion, no doubt, will be a
record-breaking one. The ball will be
under the management of Prof. T. P.
Hollands, with one of the best bands
in the city to furnish music.
The affair will be open to all and
no admission will be charged for la
dies.
You will miss the time of your life
if you miss this ball. I’ll be there.
Will you?

A WASH FOR PEACH BOR
ERS.
I notice the method reportd by Dr.
H. A. Surface of fighting peach bor-
| ers, and should like to give my ex
perience with them, says a correspond-
! ent of the Rural New Yorker. I have
! about 12,000 peach trees, which were
very badly infested before any atten
tion was given them. I first attempt
ed to hold them in check by digging
out with a knife and wire, but I found
that there would always be a few
missed, and that the boring of the bor
ers was sure to cause more or less de
cay, so I endeavored to find some rem
edy to apply that would prevent the
decay and also help control the borer,
and the following is what we are using
with very good success: Fifteen
pounds copper sulphate, thirty pounds
hydrated lime, one pound arsenate of
lead to fifty gallons of water. AVe ap
ply this both in the spring and fall,
with a whitewash brush. The soil is
removed for about four inches around
the crown of the trunk, and all gum
and decayed wood removed, after
which we thoroughly soak the tree
from root to crotch, and often the
larger limbs if any rough or damaged
looking places appear. This remedy
has not only held the borer in check,
but given us a much smoother and
thriftier trunk than we had before.
