L. May son. Judge Broyles continued the hearing indefinitely. Later on the railway company, by Its attorneys, petitioned Judge Pendleton for an injunction perpetually restrain ing employees of the city from tres passing upon Its property.

HOAI) WILL FIGHT THE RECEIVERSHIP Editor and Publisher to Office and Galley Boys, Than 100, With Wives, Mothers or Sisters, Gather About the Festal Board at the Kimball and After -a Feast of Good Things, Hear Inspiring Talks From Mr. Seely, Col. Graves and Airs. Ball, and Enjoy Music and a Stereopticon Trip Around the World. Event a Notable One For All Present. The Atlanta Georgian family got to gether Thursday, night and had the time of their lives. Over a hundred employees of the paper assembled in the dining room of the Kimball at the bidding of Mr. F. L. Seely, The Georgian’s publisher. Of more than one hundred employees, the absentees could be counted on the fin gers of one hand, and these from un avoidable causes. Practically all those who are directly connected with the dally production of The Georgian were there, and they enjoyed every minute of the time. In addition to the hundred and some- odd employees, a great many of their wives were present. Mr. Seely says every man’s wife should be his part ner In his work or his business and that the wife’s interest In his work and surroundings make him a better work man. Whatever apprehension any one had before going that it would be a very formal and a very dressy afTalr was quickly relieved. "Andy” McGough did wear his hest green necktie, but he said he couldn't find his other one. There were some clever talks from Colonel Graves, Mrs. Ball *nnd a heart-to-heart talk from Mr. Seely. There were some very In teresting stereopticon views, with ex planatory words about each—a quick but delightful Journey to out-of-the- way nook* of the world. The banquet was not a banquet. Ban quets are formal and fyr formal bodies. But It was a mighty good, appetizing dinner. If there’s anything on this mundane sphere that Manager Will Zimmer knows how to do it Is to plan, prepare and serve good things to eat for hungry mortals. And he showed his record-breaking ability last night by handling In addi tion to the big Georgian dinner of over one hundred and twenty-five plates, throe other big banquets—four under one roof. delay In the scheduled hour of 7 o’clock of a few minutes—the writer values his Job too highly to state the exact cause—had whetted the appe tites of the family almost to the raven ous point. And how the delicious and substantial courses did disappear! It was a big family gathering. Nobody j,our everybody was so busy tried to put on style. Nobody was al- ministering to the needs of the Inner lowed to be formal or feel cramped. man that conversation was desultory. Some one insinuated that Colonel Graves’ frequent moves to chat with this and that member of the big family was only a clever ruse on his part to test the quality of sundry extra plates of bivalves on the shell. Anyway, everybody had ns good and appetizing a dinner as could be prepared by the Kimball—which is saying all that Is necessary. With that first Important business of dining out of the way. Colonel Graves wiih called on for an Informal talk. He glowed with the spirit of the occa sion, and was never heard In a happier vein. It wouldn't be right to tell what he said, because he was talking to the family affairs. Sunshine und laughter and humor and a touch now and then of deep feeling made It a talk no one will forget. Then Mr. Seely talked In his whole some, hearty way. He took the family Into his confidence and told them what The Georgian had accomplished and the future. And those who heard vowed new zeal and allegiance to this man whose life and work mean so much. Mr. Shirley Victor Brooks, with his rich, deep basso, rendered that grand old hymn, "Rooked In the Cradle of the Deep.” Ho prolonged and hearty was the applause that he responded with “Believe Me.” The Georgian family has always been lal to The Georgian. • N '"‘ York, Dec. 28.—When the news ! ,r action of the court at Mobile, »n the appointment of receivers for the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rall- was conveyed to President Bird M Robinson, of the road, he declared that such proceedings were without ledge of any -age of any one connected "ab the company, and entirely with °’Jt t-ause.
