ling pines, and surcrounded by fields
of giant cotton and corn, everything
seemed inviting us to hospitable en
tertainment,
The long table was placed upon the
spacious veranda, and ‘was adorned
with white orleander and lavender
hued althea blossoms.
Barbecue, chicken, ices and cakes
were temptingly arranged, speaking
eloquently of the south’s wonderful
prosperity and alluring possibilities.
Judge U. V., Whipple asked God’s ben
ediction. Mrs. Briggs. Carson gave a
beautiful toast, in which humor and
tenderness were charmingly inter
woven. ‘
After the beautiful ainner the grand
children formed in line and marched
triunphantly around the lawn solut
mg their grand parents with appro
priate wishes,
Tie entire family were grouped to
gether and addressec by Mr. Pate, who
spoke in brief, but stirring words of
his life and presented in substance
the following ideas: Have family re
anions; don't drink to drunkenness;
don't gamble, don’t swindle, don’t lie;
be lhwnest, be Christ-i‘’ke; use the Bi
ble for a guide; be prepared for the
first suinmcrs.
i-very heart thrilled with emotion,
evioly eye was tear-dimmed, when Mr.
Pate finishedq. i
The day throughout, was one of joy
and pleasure—a commingling of con
genial spirits.
Kvery one delighted to do honor to
the bride and bridegroom of forty-four
years. Every good and peifect egift
was wished for them.
There is nothing more beautiful in
all the world than two souls, whose in
terests, aims and affections are one,
walking the long way together.
May they celebrate many more an
niversaries.
There are nineteen grand-children.
The ‘mmediate famity is as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Briggs Carson; six sons,
Pate Briggs, Jr., Banks, James, and
Joseph; Mrs. Claudia Lawson Pate, 2

LIMESTONE AND MARLS OF :
COSTAL PLAINS OF GEORGIA
This is the title of a very valuable
report just issued by the state Geo
logical department, contains 300 pages,
ant state geologist, contains 300 pages,
a number of attractive halftones and
a colored map showing the location of
many of the most promising limestone
outcrops in South Georgia.
The first 43 pages of the report is
devoted to the discussion of the phy
siography, structure, and geology of
the Coastal Plain. This is followed
by a detailed ‘description’ of the indi
vidual properties in the various coun
ties, which, in turn, is followed by the
description of uses of limestone for
agricultural and other purposes. In
addition, the method of quarrying lime
stone is fulyy discussed and the vari
ous machines used in preparing the
limestone for agricultural purposes are
described in detail.
Under the head of the uses of lime
stone the quantity per acre méthod of
preparing the soil, and how and when
to apply ground limestone are full
discussed. i
An appendix to the report gives a
short sketch of the various limetsone
quarries in North Georgia giving the
capacity of each plant, chemical com
position of the material put on the
market, etc.
The publication of this report at the
present time séems quite opportune,
as there is now a great demand by the
farmers for ground limestone through
out the state.
Copies of this report can be secured
from Prof. S. W. McCallie, State Geol
ogist, by payment of the postage, 10
cents. | 3
