Botanical Garden Proposal for Georgia by Benjamin Hunt
Benjamin W Hunt, former president of the Georgia State Bankers' association, calls for a state botanical garden in Athens to house every indigenous Georgia plant. He cites Georgia’s earlier Athens garden, abandoned due to fiscal shortsightedness, and compares it with Harvard's arboretum as a model. He suggests using the state college of agriculture in Athens to establish a garden at modest cost, benefiting the agricultural program and state.

Panama Quakes Do Not Endanger Canal Project, Engineers Say
A Panama canal zone quake briefed fears of collapse but engineers confirm earlier studies show only superficial shocks so far.

Georgia Heritage and Edison Follies Parade in Fragmented Verse
A collage of oblique poems and comic snippets from a 19th/early 20th century paper. It mixes musings on nature and love with satirical remarks about Thomas Edison, then shifts to humorous street-talk about a hearse, a grocer and dead John Smith, and ends with a playful tribute to Georgia in a blaze of lyric reverie.
