The Thursday Afternoon’ Club
held its last meeting at the home of
Mrs. Will B. Sims* To say that the
club was most beautifully entertain
ed, would be expressing things in
entirely too niild a manner.
Mrs. Sims is, in the first place, an
ideal hostess. Elegant, refined and,
full of that bright, sweet congeniali
ty which makes things so pleasant,
every one was soon at ease and hav
ing a sweet, happy hour.
It being the eve of the 4th, every
thing was patriotic. The decora
tions of flags, red, white and blue
ribbons and draperies, combined
with palms, ferns and flowers, made
a lovely effect. One Corner was es
pecially cunning in its arrangement,
Draperies were beautifully grouped
and caught up with flags, while un
der them was a table holding the
regular 4th of July refreshments,
blue bowls full of striped candy and
peanuts.
Cannon crackers were passed to
all the ladiete; when the strings of
these were pulled, out came a flag
napkin. Delicious retreshments were
then enjoyed.
The game of pictures was heartily
entered into, and many funny things
were said and done while wildly
guessing at the originals. The prize,
a lovely match strike, “The Striking
Girl,” finished up in water colors by
Mrs. Sims*' own artist hands, was
won by Mrs. Edgar Brasleton.
The olub will be next entertained
on Thursday, July 17th, by Mrs.
Marion King. 0. E.

Hale a dozen extra fine watermel
ons have been shipped from Outhr-
bert, Ga., to England, by request of
the superintendent of the Southern
Express Company. With reference
to these melons, the Cuthbert cor
respondent of the Atlanta Gonstitu
tion says: “They go to the official
now in England, who is said to want
them for the inmates of the royal
palace. The request is regarded as
a compliment to the Georgia water
melon and to this section.”
Authorities of the Southern and
other railroads in Georgia have de

now up to the railroad commission
to require immediate construction, if
the present union depot is really in
adequate for the convenience and
comfort of the traveling public.

CROP CONDITIONS.
At this time the general condition
of crops is far from encouraging.
The drought which has prevailed up
to the 2d of July, accompanied by high
temperatures and parching winds, has
caused a material deterioration of
most crops, especially cotton and up
land corn. Notwithstanding showers
of rains have fallen in many sections
of the state since the first of tho
month, it is still true that a drought
which is becoming very serious, now
prevails over the greater portion ol
Georgia. In some sections upland corn
is almost past redemption, while cot
ton in some eections is doing fairly
well, the reverse is true in most of the
counties. The friut is below normal
conditions, and the watermelon crop
is far below an average, both in quanti
ty and quality.

The census reports also show that
tobacco is getting to be a crop of some
importance in Georgia.
The .increase in acreage in the dec
ade from 1889 to 1899 was 188 per cent,
and in production 319 per cent. The
average yield per acre shows an in
crease suggestive of improved meth
ods of cultivation, being 479.9 pounds
per acre in 1899 as compared with 329,7
pounds in 1879. The tobacco crop of
