" Fine lot of the noted Honey Peaches
from Florida. Superior in any respect
to home-raised peaches, at Jester’s,
Mr. lager soil Wade* who is In
Washington, D- C., writes the follow
ing interesting letter to the Basses:
Commanding one of the finest pros
pects in the world, with the magnifi
cent city oi Washington lying in ever-
changing beauty and grandeur at its
feet, steads the home of Andrew A.
Lipscomb, crowning, as it does, one of
VirginU’s bllti, and displaying in its
unique architecture the elegance and
f!i»ateal learning and oaltnre of the
mind that created it. Mr. Lipscomb is
an ardent admirer of the Southern anti-
helium stylo of architeotnal adornment
and he has given his idea peculiar and
effective scope in the home he has
erected. The prospect is concededly
the fl net t in Virginia. Far away across
the horizon are the dim outlines of the
bills of Maryland, falling in regular
and harmonious oadenose, as a back
ground, with the magnificent and his
toric city in the fore-ground. Flanking
this home nse the bine mountains of
Virginia forming a cordon whose piot-
uresque effect beggars description.
With a field glass of ordinary power an
observer can define distinctly the out
lines of the most notshle structures in
Washington and oan with the naked
eye define the outline of the National
Capital. The interior of his home is
elegant and displays on every hands
desire to blend in perfect accord the
beautiful with the useful. Mr. and
Mrs. Lipscomb are charming enter
tainers and have more than onoe con
verted their home into a rendezvous for
the “beauty and chivalry” of the capi
tal. Hod. Hoke Smith and bis charm
ing wife are constant guests, and other
celebrities have gathered time and
again at their hospitable board. Mrs:
Lipsoomb, nee Miss Lamar Rutherford,
of Athens, is oonoededly one of the
moet beautiful and brilliant women in
Washington and her versatile talents
and exquisite tact have furnish an ex
haustless theme for praise. Mr. Lip3-
oomb is one of the most distinguished
men in Washington. He is a graduate of
the State University and one of the
most distinguished and talented sons
that grand old instutition ever sent. He
intense southern and his home is an
almost perfeotfac simile of the Ben
Hill house in Athens, now the prop
erty of Mr. James White. It is proba
ble that Mr. and Mrs. Lipscomb will
spend several weeks in Athens this
winter.
Mrs. Charlie Baldwin gave a
lovely and very elegant reoeption on
Thursday afternoon and evening. It
was given in honor of her mother Mrs.

Tonight—Every thing
Progressing Well.
The Commencement at Lnoy Cobb
Institute prsgresaes nicely.
Lut night the little folks entertained
the audience in a delightful manner.
The program was cleverly rendered
throughout.
The representation of a school room
full of merry little ones before and dur
ing school hours was most entertaining.
The “Gossip Pantomime”’ wu led by
Misses Mattie Lookhart, Hattie Doz'er,
and Basie Barrow. They were attired
as perfect “old maids” received round
after round of applanse.
The “Milk Main” drill was excep
tionally well carried oat. It compared
vary favorably with the “O w Drill” of

The case came up in the New York

a continuance. This wu resisted by
the defendant bat the motion wu al
lowed to stand. Thus the oity of Ath
ens is for09d to wait until the 26th to
try the case.
Of coarse, the continuance could not
be helped, bat u it slightly increases
the expense of the cue and renders an

The Geological Board Had an Inter
esting Meeting Testerday.
Atlanta, Ga , June 10.—The state
geological department is -beginning to
get! n shape.
Frcfeuor Yestes has been active
sinoe hie arrival in studying the lay of
the'department Yesterday the geo
logical board met at the oapitol and
held a conference with the geologist.
He had two recommendations to make
for assistants- He named them and the
board approved after hearing the ;re-
commendations from distinguished sci
entists. t
The assistants are Francis P. King,
of the John Hopkins university, Balti
more, and the other is 8. W. McCallie,
of Knoxville.
Mr. McCallie is a graduate of the
Johns Hopkins, too, and wu with that
institution for some time. He is highly
recommended. He had made an aeon
rate map of the oountry round Knox
ville and hu made a geological survey
all up and down the Tennessee side of
the mountains. He was recommedded
by Dr. C. W. Dabney, Jr„ princpal of
theUaiversity of Tennessee; by Pro
fessor F. Lampson Scribner, director of
the Tennessee agricultural experimen
tal station; by Professor W. B. Clark,
professor of geology at Johns Hopkins,
and by several others. Professor
Yeates knows him personally to he well
equipped for the position.
Mr King, the other assistant, comes
recommended by Dr. George A. Wil
liams, professor of geology at Johns
Hopkins university; Dr. W. S. Bailey,
minefalogical editor of the American
Naturalist and auiatant geologist of the
United States geolog’cal survey.
The assistants will come about the lf(
of next month.
Professor Yeatea stated to the board
that he proposes to look over the state
and get a general idea of the country.
He thinks that it will pay best for the
department to begin work in atndying
the economic resources of the state.
That is, he would survey thou sections
of the state whose advantages made pub
lic would be most likely to attrect in
vestor here. He would investiga’e
first the marble, granite, phosphate and
gold sections of Georgia. Considerable
work hu bun done in that dircotion
and it is not all to lou. The new geol
ogist thinks that if the resources are
thoroughly explored investors will
acme here and develop them.
The muting of the board wu very
satisfactory.

That ia the Verdict Against Porter
Stocks*
Atlanta, Ga, June 10.—[Special.]—
The jury in the Porter Stocks oase re
tired this afternoon early and after re
maining out until five o’clock returned
