VANDERBILT FEUD ENDED.
A Little Girl is Responsible
Peace.
Newport, It. I , Aug. 6—It is
the youngest member of the Van¬
derbilt family, Baby Catlileen,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
lteignald 0. Vanderbilt, who i-
declared responsible for the
ending of tin* famous Vanderbilt
feud and the re-union of all mem¬
bers in one happy family.
In celebration of the event
Baby Catlileen, or the “Angel of
P..*ace,” a.s she has been lovingly
called, will make her debut
hostess next week, when at San-
dy Point Farm, the lovely Ports-
month home of her parents, she
will give a children’s party to all
the young Vanderbilts. There
will be present the children of
Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vandcr-
bilt, of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred G.
Vanderbilt, of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney (the latter
Gertrude Vanderbilt), and of Mr.
and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt. The
only child member of the family
missing will be the children of
Consnelo, duchess of Marl¬
borough. »
It will be the first time in all
their young lives that the little
cousins have met and enjoyed a
play time and they are all look¬
ing forward to it with the keen¬
est enjoyment.
While Catlileen Vanderbilt is
too young to enter into the sport
actively she will be a happy
onlooker.
For the party little Cathleen's
mother has provided a program

dren. Sandy Point Farm is so

fers splendid opportunities for an

home of the Cornelius Vander¬
bilt chihlien.

lasting a week closed Sunday.

gregation formed a most favor¬
able opinion of Rev. C. A. Me-
Fail of South McAllister, Indian
Territory, who assisted in these
services. His preaching both in
matter and manner of delivery
was pleasing to all who heard
him.
Miss Lillian Speight of Quit-
man as organist contributed

cess of the meeting.— Quitman

DIAMOND IN LEAD ACETATE.
Lucky Find of a Man Living in
Cartersville.
Cartersville, Ga., Aug. 9.—A
diamond was found in a package
of plumbic acetate by John
Reusch, who purchased ten cents
worth of the material front a
local druggist. Mr. Reusch, in
handling the sugar of lead, felt
something hard, and upon clean-
ing the whit s powder from it,
detected a glitter t h a4-in
him to believe the lump might be
valuable.
He carried it to an Atlanta
jeweler and had it tested, the
jeweler deciding that it was a
genuine diamond, worth $250.
The stone has been made into
ring and presented by the finder
to his wife.
It is thought the diamond slip*
ped from the hand of Borne drug¬
gist while the sugar of lead was
being placed in the package for
shipment.
