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. J. P. DUNCAN, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW, PERRY, GA.

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 Kind YoirHaye Always Bo#ji 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. STATE AGRICULTURAL DEP’T. July 8, 1902., Atlanta, Ga. 415& Third St. (Upatalrs.)
