A Bird Supper. A very pleasant and enjoyable occa sion which The Herald and Advertiser overlooked in its local chroniclings was a bird supper given one evening last week in honor ot Hon. Thos. G. Hud son. Commissioner of Agriculture; Hon. R. F. Wright. Assistant Commis sioner of Agriculture; Hon. J. F. John son, Chief of Fertilizer Division of the Department of Agriculture; Mr. E. F. Williams, Chief of Correspondence Di vision; and Hon. P. A. Methvin, State Food Inspector. These gentlemen had heard much of Jim Reid’s cuisinestic skill in the preparation of “quaii on toast” his fame as a cook ne- ing but little less luminous than that enjoyed by Col. Harry Fisher among gourmets as a ’possum expert —and their curiosity was whetted to a point which nothing short of a brace of birds served by Jim himself would sat isfy. When each guest had dissected a couple of birds, liberally garnished with the incomparable sauce that only Jim knows the secret of, they arose as one man and not only acclaimed Jim’s abil ity as a cook, but gave other manifes tations of gustatory delight equally convincing. Col. Harry Fisher presid ed as chief host and did the honors. Other gentlemen who assisted in enter taining the party, and were also at the supper, were Hon. J. R. McCollum, Hon. Jos. T. Kirby, and Messrs. J. A. Stephens and .las. E. Brown. Col. Hudson and party returned to Atlanta on the 10:40 p. m. train.

Arnall Merchandise Co. is putting material on the ground for an extension of its main building, which, when completed, will give this firm all the store-r^om it is.likely to need for several years to come. The present building is two stories high and runs back 120 feet. The extension, which will also be two stories, will add 76 feet to the main building, thus making a hugh structure of brick and mortar covering the entire space from street to street.

Mr. Hal A Valuable Invention. There is on exhibition at Banta’s jewelry store a clock alarm device—a new invention that is likely to prove of great value to the inventor and much usefulness to the public as well. The device may be described as follows: A disc or cyliner having pins arranged in circular lines or sections, so as to form electric contact and ring a bell or pro duce an alarm at set intervals, the in tervals to be regulated by means of a set lever on a dial having figures to rep resent the desired intervals when the alarm is to be sounded. The apparatus is attached to the mechanism of a clock by means of cof.-wheels or pinions of different sizes, having teeth in such number and so placed as to set off an alarm as often as may be required. The device is designed to meet the wants of factories, foundries dye- works, sick-r,joins, kitchens in fact, wherever an alarm system is needed to remind one of a designated duty at a given hour or minute. All that is nec essary to do this is to set the lever at the proper number on the dial of the clock. Mr. A. H. Johnson, watchmaker at Banta’s jewelry store, is the inventor. He has already built four models, one of which has been sent to the Latent Office. Another can be seen in success ful operation at the Coweta Cotton Oil Mill, another at the Southern Cotton Oil Mill, and still another is on exhibi tion at Banta’s jewelry store. Mr. H. S. Banta has acquired a half interest in the patent, and with his hustling business ability, coupled with Mr. Johnson’s mechanical genius, we see no reason why, the invention may not be turned to very profitable ac count. They may form a stock com pany for the purpose of manufacturing the device and putting it on the market. Mr. J. A. Kinnard arrived Tuesday on a visit to his brother, Judge W.

In closing their letter to the editor the writers say : “If all men were as generous as W. S.

Stephens, oil inspector at this point, seized a tank of kerosene oil that had been shipped in by the Standard Oil Co., and which Mrs. Foggs—“What do you think ails my husband, doctor?” Physician—“Well, as a matter of fact his complaint is hereditary. He has—” Mrs. Foggs (interrupting)—"That’s queer; I’m sure 1 can’t imagine where he could have caught it. There hasn't been a case of hereditary in the neigh borhood since we moved here—and that’s been nearly a year.” As long as a man can keep out of jail he never doubts his natural goodness.
