Pat- j p p a8am ore, the excellent sheriff, has his quarters. Then, in due place, the tax receiver, C. S. Bacon; Collec tor W. T. Staten, the county treasurer and the county school commissioner. Col. C. L. Smith, are to be found, each in due season waiting on the people’s terson avenue will compare favorably with Peachtree, College Hill, South Savannah or any other residence sec tion. The home of Senator-elect West, adorning a most beautiful and spa cious lot, reminds one of the White House in its august proportions. The Converse brothers, nearer the busi ness section of the city, have three residences that remind one of the heavenly mansious In their beautiful symmetry and attractive architecture. Mrs. Thigpen’s and the Briggs homes also would adorn any fashionable street.

The upper floor has tho court room, jury rooms and offices of the city and superior courts’ officers. The supe rior court room Is one of the most elegant In the state. It is finished in quartered oak, while .the halls and corridors are paneled in marble, Judges Mitchell, Griffin and Speer, So- homes oxcel even the larger man sions. That of Mr. Dbrough Is unique in its beauty. Delightful comfort and exquisite adaptation to the best living speaks from every device in its con struction. The recently completed cottage of Mr. Ed Thomas on Hill av enue will strike the eye that likes utility as well as ornament. But it would take columns to bare ly mention the many splendid homes in this city. Messrs. Conoley, Strick- Harrls, Howells, Alexanders, what manner of men ought those stately piles of stone with their decorations of steel, marble and oak to bring forth? Gentlemen of the bar, as well as the jury, wo are getting our ears prepared for the flow of eloquence, learning and justice evoked.

Imposing Public Buildings. Having begun at the home, the city goes on and adds to its beauty in its public architecture. Ruskin must have impressed some early leader. His dogma that everybody who under takes the construction of any kind of house, even the poorest, owes it to thc public to build it as beautiful as possible, has become tho orthodox creed of tho Valdostan. near completion a company of the ir reverent broke forth "Hark from the tombs a doleful sound. Mine ears attend tho cry, Ye lawyer men come view tho ground Where you must shortly lie.” The boys down here have been taught better about that able body of useful citizen, and no such thought is heard, Mr. F. P. Milburn, of Columbia, S. C., is tho architect. Tho construction has been under tho direction of Mr. Thero is the Valdes. It is the homo j Algernon Blair, a man mado for such of tho public.

Few houses devoted to similar purposes aro as well adapt- to givo the wayfaring man t a pleasant home feeling. As you pass it on the street its unostentatious si lent story is: "That is a good place for a stranger to feel at homo.” It Is no wonder that it has become such a popular resort in this section. Fortu nate is that owner that ho has se cured such competent managers. Ev erything a traveler needs to make him feel happy tho Valdes supplies. Cen tral Is becoming the Pennsylvania av enue of our South Georgia metropo lis. On it stands the new court house, just being completed, the public school building In course o^erection, and is to be the site of the govern ment building, soon to bo constructed. Lowndes’ Court House. The court house is in every way a most admirable building. Its style appears to be a combination of the Greek Corinthian and the Moorish, has one mighty dome and four minar ets. Its Interior has more of the mod ern, and every comfort of tho county business is amply provided. The pres ent board of commissioners who are completing the contract are Messrs. McKey, Webb and Passmore. The first named was a member of tho old board and is chairman of the present. He is a resident of the city and not only sees the finish of the enterprise, but enjoys the completion of tho work. Of course, to him belongs much of tho credit of this most successful monument He has been ably assist* City of Handsome Churches. Go now to another stylo of architec ture and you will flnd tho dwellings and county houses equaled if not sur passed. Tho First Baptist church belongs to Central avenue and ranks high up in tho churchly appearance. It is a dou ble story building—a magnificent base ment for school, league and social ser vice, a splendid auditorium for the great congregation, a devoted, enter prising membership of largo propor tions, and better than all besides, well equipped and popular pastor In Rev. L. R. Christie, this great denoml nation is at the front In every form of progressive Christian work and oxer- cises a telling influence on all this section. Not only does it fully main tain its own congregational needs, but also freely supports the great causes of the denomination and at the same time keeps Rev. Mr. Thrasher In tho homo mission field. Fortunately, the inspiration of such a work and its re alization in such a man. The Methodists’ New Edifice. The Methodists are Just entering their rebuilt church. Its auditorium cannot be excelled in Georgia. Its proportions are splendid, Its tinted walls, white pine finish celling, its cathedral glass of raro beauty and ex quisite taste, all make It one of tho very best rooms for devotion in the state. Some Alee Tempi© Shrlnors will vividly recall Rev. C. A. Jackson, now our devoted pastor. He is a man of burning eloquence. Down in Bryan it is a very effective house. It is in the best style of Gothic art. Rev. Mr. Wallace, a most intelligent and admi rable gentleman, has begun what we all feel is tekbo & most successful pas torate with Ibis earnest flock. Home the Presbyterians. The Presbyterians have a very styl ish church built of wood. Somo would call it small. It is better to have a full smallsiptise than a room so large that even a good sized congregation would make it seem empty. This con gregation is not only full, but is ex traordinarily responsive and intelli gent In the hearing they givo their preacher. But, then, this is explained when I write that Rev. C. C. Carson is that preacher. Enough is said ip that statement to satisfy tho most skeptical. The Episcopalians have a small wooden funding, but a pastor of tho largest proportions of any in the city. Rev. E. M. Skagen is a Norwegian by birth, and a conversation with him will always prove entertaining, as ho has seen, thought and felt much at the same time having his own quaint, terse, 'emphatic way of putting things. No smoothed bore man is Mr. 8kag|0n, and such men mak o one think. Rev. A. V. Simms, tho ordinary- preacbes for the Primitives, in the old Missionary Baptist church. Across the Way is the neat building of the Church of Christ, in which another Rot. Mr. Jackson preaches. Wesley Memorial is the Second Methodist, with W. S. Heath as pastor, and the Baptists have a west side church. Valdosta’s Social Organizations. The social and Intellectual life of the*dty is well provided for. Ono of its institutions is the Wymodausls Club. This Is a new name. Valdosta believes in condensing into syllables os a cognation of names. Valdes •.

Its diROtlb^ms areu t ways entertaining ahd demands con stant culture on the parts of our wives, mothers, daughters nnd sisters. Among the most useful institutions In the city is Mrs. J. O.

To this she Joins tho most ex quisite art of.bringing out tho best that is in the heart and characteer of her class. Such methods of culture ought to be greatly appreciated.
