Months ago the Advertiser-Appeal hinted at some grand improvements to be inaugurated by the Brunswick Company on their property (eighty acres) in the eastern part of the city, and skirting on the Boulevard, what is. known as Picnic Grove being a part of it. We are now pleased to state that the company are moving in the mat ter. Already two skilled engineers have been over the ground, and lo cated every tree of any size. Their work will now be turned over to an expert landscape gardener, who will at once lay it off. In the centre will be located the park or “Plaza de bos,” from which will open np, inser- pcntinc shapes, avenues or drives all over the tract, each having its own appropriate name, “Myrtle,” “Oak,” “Laurel,” “Palmetto,” etc, All that unsightly marsh between the grove and the Boulevard will be filled with earth, and the most charming place in the South made of that spot, which, by the way, is beautiful in its uhadorned condition. The interven ing spaces between the drives will be sold for residences. This will be built up as a suburb of our city a veritable fairy land, such as nowhere exists on this continent—a smfll- sized paradise on earth. Besides full well, we mean. ; man.

When “Old Simpson’s” father died years ago, he left him many eccen tricities and a fortune of $1,000,000. Old Simpson lives in Wakefield, Mas sachusetts. If he had inherited tho fortune minus the eccentricities of his father, he might have enjoyed life. But the eccentricities have made him a miserable man. He hoards his money, dresses scantily, and sleeps in a stable on a bed of straw. During tho day his time is consumed fn collecting his rents, ex' cept when ho munches his very plain food. Old Simpsotf is not a citizen of whom this .grand republic may be proud. His Luck Turned Too Late. Atlanta Comtitntlon. A sad feature connected with the death of the late Col. Pulsifer, the Boston editorahd capitalist, has just come to flight It is generally Relieved that Col. Pnleifer committed * suicide on ac count of his financial troubles. Ev erything depended upon the success of his agents in London in placing about a million and a half pf dollars in Marietta and North Georgia rail road bonds. The day -before ha died he cabled several times to London, bnt received no, satisfactory answer. In his despair he kilted himself. TwentJ-four hours later the news came that his bonds had been placed and his fortunes were re-establishe'd on a secure footing. ' ■ A similar case oocujTed in London some years ago. A disappointed in vestor who had spent his last cent committed suicide, and on the fol lowing day the government made a proposition to utilize' his invention and pay him a million dollars for it But it was too late. Like Pulsifer he had given up and died too soon. Of course it is useless to point to the moral. Men will continue to kill themselves when they lose their mon ey. And yet it is a foolish as well as a wicked thing to do. Life even with out a.fortune can be made worth liv ing- GRAND FREE FIREWORKS! Biggest Agricultural Show Ever Seen MhE South!

His theory that it was j. because -the colored- people were not allowed all of theif rights me aavanci From the way in which the colored voters were petted by both sides in the memorable Atlanta campaign, it is a little strange that the Rev.
