ANNOUNCEMENT
PEEL’S NAME USED
BY
W. L. Peel has Issued the following
communication regarding directors'
tickets of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company:
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I beg to answer, through the medjum
of your paper, the many Inquiries I am
receiving from policyholders 'ot the
Mutual Life Insurance Company
reference to the difference between the
united committee's ticket and the
fusion ticket.
The united committee's ticket la
what Is known as the “Policy Holders'
ticket." It was made up by the Mu
tual Life Policy Holders' Association
and the International Policy Holders'
Association.
The fusion ticket was filed with the
insurance commissioner by an attor
ney at law In New York, who refuses
to disclose for whom he Is acting. My
name was placed on this ticket with
out my knowledge or consent; and in
asmuch as a number of policyholders
have expressed a desire to vote for
Charles E. Hughes, the attorney for
the Armstrong Investigating commit
tee and the present Republican candi
date for governor of New York, whose
name heads the fusion ticket, I will
state that Mr. Hughes says that his
name was placed on this ticket with
out his consent and that ho will not
serve If elected.
My name was placed on the united
committees' ticket by my consent, and
I have agreed to serve if elected.
Therefore, I advise the policyholders to
vote for the united committees' ticket.
BaUots or proxies should be mailed
to the International Policyholders’ As
sociation, No. 30 ^road street, New
York; or. If mailed to me here, I will
acknowledge receipt of them, examine
and see If they are In order, and will
place them at the proper time with the
voting committee.
Yours Respectfully,
W. L. PEEL.

If there wera any words that rhyme
with circus besides the Impossible
•■percusa" and "Jerk us" and "work us,'
one might start oil this story with a
dainty little ditty. "There’ll be nt>
parade" und "pink lemonade" Just fit
In fine, hut "circus" Is one too numer
ous for the Swinburne of the shop, so
he'll make the plain announcement
that—
The Greatest Show on Earth has
arrived In Atlanta and has unloaded
lor n two days' stay In our midst,
Frldaying and Saturdaylng here, with
two iiertormances each day and the
grand concert immediately after the
chariot race. Don't forget the grand
concert, ladles and gents.
So, backward, turn backward, O time
In thy lllght, and make ue a kid again
Just for tonight or tomorrow night,
the latter being preferred Inasmuch
as Saturday Is pay day. The poetical
ulloeution comes In good, because we’ve
all got to go to eee the circuit and
some of us have affected to put away
childish things and those of us some
that lack the Justification of little ones
to carry along are strictly up against
It lest our reputed dignity suffer. For
we must see that circus.
In the balmy sunshine of this per
fect day, there la only one disappoint
ment about this circus. There'll be no
parade. The Barnum & Bailey people
advance pretty good reasons for. not
having parade, but argument doesn’t
satisfy soul hunger.
And—here's a tip cn a queer charac
teristic of the people—there were hun
dreds of men, women and children of
Atlanta who came up town and hung
"mind In the streets for hours Fri
day morning walling for the circus
parade.
, to all of the advertisements, the
Bailey people said plainly
Barnum
that there would bo no parade, In ev
ery newepaper story printed about the
coming of the big show, It was posi
tively set forth that this feature would
be lacking. But
"What, No Parade?"
Who ever heard of a circus without
a parade, any more than an ele-hant
without a trunk? said vox pnpull Into
their own cars. And to prove the ab
surdity of the paradox, the pnpull
came to town and stood around, first
on one leg and then on the other, un
■ II afternoon, when they caught cars
and went out to Jackson and Wheut
streets to see what was the matter.
Did you ever see a circus unload 1
Home years ago, when the Greatest
Show on Earth was touring Europe,
Prince Blsmnrck watched It unload.
Then he said to Der Kaiser:
"Hooh, Willie, I thought der Oerr
army had some discipline though, but
those guys enn gtvo us cards, spades,
and big casino and win the pot without
dealing from the bottom. Hadn’t you
better hire the boss and let him try to
put n little system Into the imperial
cohorts?"
It's sort o' like this:
Two or three trains, of about thirty
cars each, come chugging In, each
pulled by a double-header. Before
they cornu to a full stop, 200 men Jump
off the platform and out of windows
nnd start running In different direc
tions like two football teams right
after the kick-off. In ten minutes a
hundred horses and a score of ele
phants are at work pulling and push
ing big wage as, stakes are being driver,
fur the tent, thirty cooke ate running a
Titanic restaurant, and the work Is on.
For throe hours there Is to the un
skilled eye such a chaos of confualoi
ns was never seen, when suddenly there
comes a lull, and the circus Is ready
for the. performance, whereupon the
spieler takes a throat spray to loosen
Use and Beauty
in Wedding Gifts
Says a recent writer:
As by some magic skill tho utilitarian pin and button,
the back-comb, even the prtttalc eyeglass, are transformed,
and become costly Jewel-set objects d’art. The casserole and
homely pudding dish, the bottle for table sauce and siphon for
'toby have been prettily disguised In trappings of pierced sil
ver, and so on ad Infinitum.
Use and beauty! That happy combination so desira
ble to our common sevse and to our innate love of the
beautiful.
The objects in our great collection of Silver, Crystal,
Brass, Ivory, Marble, Gold—all exemplify the chann-
iiig possibilities of the artistic crafts.

ly satisfying variety of Wedding Gifts.
