Everyone of them has been a most enjoyable occasion, but this one prom ises to eclipse them all. Dixie Lake is located about a mile from Sparks, Ga., and is a well known resort. There is a swimming pool, all kinds of amusements, something on the order of Lucy Lake. It is ex pected that everybody who attends to carry a basket, as a big dinner will be spread. Geo.

BLAZE THURSDAY NIGHT MAKES A TOTAL LOSS A small fire occurred Thursday night in the northern part of the city, the report being sounded about 2 a. m. It proved to be the house of Mr. J. W. Jones, and was occupied by the family of Mr. D. W. Rice. It was a five-room building and almost completely destroyed, because of the fact that when the fire engine ar rived, it was too late. This is the first fire that has oc curred since the purchase of the new engine. It would have worked al right, but when the engine arrived at the eleventh hour, the water pres sure was so weak that ltitle work could be done.
