One oi the Oldest China Stores in the South 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. EDWARD C. LYCETT, Proprietor Lycett China Store. | Lycett has before him many years. | Should he live out his full tale of j years, he will build up a business coterminus, in its extent, with the I Southern, States. 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 4th, at their club hall, corner of Mitch- ell and Forsyth Sts.

Watch the dailies for the announcement of the barbecue and trolley ride. 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. HON. WM. S. HWOARD.
