Not until this was done was the will completed. &EAD THIS.

Once upon a time a grim, gruff be whiskered old legislature was touch ed by the sunshine that turns Georgia’s red clay into shimmering gold and transformed itself —just for a wee while—-Into a fairy godfather. That was days and days ago. And today to make this a real good fairy story the dimpling little miss for whom the old legislature turned god father will reward it with a big re ception. Miss Georgia Mell Reinhardt Brown, the only youngster in the United States ever thus christened, will now THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, AUGUST 8. 1912. take her place as the youngest Little Miss Brown—a terribly dignified way to talk of such a precious bunch of mischief as she is—will be presented to the house tonight at five by Repre sentative Nesbit, father of the original christening resolution. Little Miss Brown in celebrating her birthday will give an ice cream parly to the whole legislature. Her invita tion, read to the house today, was ac cepted by a unanimous vote. It fol lows: "Hon. John Holder, Speaker: “Dear Sir—l wish to extend through you an invitation to the members of the house of representatives who so kindly named me at my birth one year ago, to be my guests at a luncheon of ice cream and cake to be served In the corridors of the capitol Thursday after noon at 5 o’clock. This invitation I wish to extend to the employees of the house and senate and members of the senate, representatives of the press and other capitol attaches—especially all the pages. Respectfully, "GEORGIA BROWN.” It will be the first time the house has officially seen its goddaughter, who was just a year old the other day, and if they think the same as her mother— Mrs. George Brown, wife of the physi cian and legislator—they sure will be proud of her. FISH STRANDED IN RIVER: WARDEN TO THE RESCUE BLOOMINGTON, ILL., Aug. B. Hannes Lawson, deputy fish warden, has been actively engaged for the past month in rescuing fish stranded by the receding water in the sloughs along the Pecatonica river.

Haden, president of the City Federation of Women s Clubs, began a movement today for the im provement of school yards. "Why not take advantage of all the waste dirt from the various street ex cavations the city is making and use this to till up the school yards?" This question will be asked the city council by the club women, "There are holes in our school house playgrounds big enough -for a child to fall in," said Mrs. Haden. “I under stand that much of the earth which is being removed from along Peachtree and Baker streets and nt various other places in the city is being actually given away to those who will haul it, and in many cases is being hauled by the city wagons and dumped gratis on some one’s lot which needs filling. "Now, why not let the city haul this dirt to the school yards and throw it there? Practically every yard in town needs some filling and, as I said, many of them are In a deplorable state. "In many cases the dirt could be dumped in the yard and scraped over with a few shovels and that would be all the labor required. At the Forrest, Davis and Tenth street schools a re taining wall would have to be built, but this ought to be done anyway." Mrs. Haden is going to bring the matter up before the next meeting of the federation and numbers of At lanta’s most prominent club women are backing her in the movement.
