THE LIGHTHOUSE
(Rosalyn Prager, Brooklyn, N. Y.)
How solemn stands the lighthouse
With its tower and its .crags,
A listener so quiet,
To the lapping of the waves.
The solitary sandpiper,
His mounrful chirp he brags
To his one tall friend, the lighthouse
The swallow’s lonely graves
The crying of the sea-gulls
To the laughing, grugling sea,
The flickering of the shadowed light,
A silver streak of gold,
Gave to the foam as from
The tower’s warning light, so free
A pathway of a jeweled stream;
Tl.c lighthouse gift of old.
So sturdy and so gray from rain,
Ai d fog of all the storms
Receiving the sweet blus.\ ot all the
skies,
And ul! the heavens,
But still, its ever waiting duty,
Of the rosy morns,—
Is sending its so deadly warning;
To the sea its given.
A dark outline of morn
'Gainst the misty gray of daybreak,
An Eiffel Tower of Evening,
'Gainst the golden sunset.
Let all of us hail the lighthouse,
With its strong and gripping hand
And may it ever be a friend
To all the birds.

From The Reynolds New Era:
Senior Engl.sh
(An Editorial)
The teacher ot Ye Senior English
Class is none other than that out
standing personage, Professor E. H.
Joiner, and does he know his Eng
lish? He expects to find how little
the class knows next week, for then
he intends to spring a semi-fir.al ex
am in this important study.
The English course is divided into
two parts: Grammar and American
Literature. Literature is studied tor
one period of six weeks and grammai
for the next six weeks’s period.
For the past four months, along
with the other work, special stress
has been placed upon theme writing.
It is surprising, Dear Reader, what
imaginations these boys ar.d girls
have, and just to prove the old say
ing “Seeing is believing,” this issue
of the “Tattler” is being devoted to
the themes of some of the members
of the class
It is the sincere desire of the
editor and the reporters to furnish
material that is really interesting,
therefore, Readers, if the paper
meets with your approval, please let
ul hear from you, for we are anxious
to know if our paper goes “over the
top’ with flying c .lues.

Grandmother’s .Souvenir of the Wat
(By Bessie Causey)
There is a story that my great I
grandmother, Mrs. Tom Windham,
told my grandmother, Mrs. J. C. Bry
an. Grandmother has related it to
several times. Each time it becomes
n ore interesting
During the War Between the
Hates my grandmother’s father sa.w
actual service. He was wounded and
came home just before Sherman's
march through Georgia began. When
he heard about the raid, he went into
the river swamp for fear of being
killed by the Yankees.
My great grandmother was left
alone at home with her two small
children. The baby, my grand mother
was about ten months old.
One day a few men drove up to the
house and demanded something to
eat. My grand mother fixed them a
nice dinner, for she was afraid not
to. She noticed that the captain of
tagecoach going from Columbus to
Macon was overturned in 1849. All
these men are in the same grave and
the inscription is on the gate to the
lot.
The above named are the oldest
graves but there are a good many
graves fpom fifty to seventy-five
years old. There are several graves
of soldiers (probably Civil War sol
diers) ; giving no dates; only the
names and regiment number.

Finally he asked her to let him hold

do but finally handed the baby up to
him on the horse. The baby’s atten
tion was soon attracted by the cap
tain’s small drinking cup. When he
handed the baby down to her mother,
he gave her the cup too.
Grandmother kept the cup all
through her girlhood and several
years of her womanhood until her
home burned then the cup was losr.
That was her souvenir of the war.

HUNTING SEASON FOR DOVES
WILL CLOSE NEXT THURSDAY
Although game is reported very
scarce in this section hunters have
taken the sporting season seriously,
and the ound of guns may be heard
every day
The open' season for squirrels
closed on Jan. 15 and the dove sea
son ends next Thursday—a week
from today.
Quail hunting is perhaps more
thrilling than any other kind and
local sportsmen take a great delight
in hunting this game. However, the
quail season ends on March 1st
which is only a few weeks off.

Breathes there a man with soul
so dead” who has so small a sense
of humor that he does not experience
a thrill at the thought of looking
through a Family Album?
The Family Album contains pH
tures of the entire family as well as
those ol friends and relatives. In
the group picture of two score years
ago the smallest child sits in a fancy
arm chair; a large brother and sis
ter stand on each side with an arm
on the arm of the chair. The boy
wears a dark suit, the pants of which
are tight fitting and extend well De-
low the knees, The short coat.reveals,
a blouse with ruffled front and
sleeves. The little girl’s dress is high
in the neck, long sleeved, and reaches
almost to the top of her high-top
buttoned shoes. Her hair is parted
in the middle ar.d hangs in long plats
on her shoulders.
In the next group are the father
rnd mother. The mother is dressed in
x high necked dress with long leg-o-
nutton sleeves, a fancy ruffled' front
and full skirt that comes to the toe
of the high topped shoes. Her hair
s pompadoured. She sits very erect
n a chair, with her right hand rest-
ng on the arm of the chair and the
eft one, ill at ease, in her lap. At
he back of the chair stands her hus^
band, as a sentinel on duty, for bet-
.er or worse. His close fitting trous
ers and coat reveal the style in men’s
jlothing at that period.
A few years later as the kodak
came into use we see pictures that
are more life-like. Snapshots made in
simple, everyday surroundings and
of everyday life.
As we turn on, year by year, the
styles and dress change and in the
course of a few years there is such
a contrast as to evoke a smile from
the most melancholy person.
Only too well did the Poet realize
tliis who wrote:
‘Our ancestors with solemn jowls
In ancient albums we unearth
And show their maps to friends
whose howls
Of laughter, move us all to mirtn.
And yet our family albums we
Still proudly stuff with photographs
Providing for posterity,
The source of many future laughs.”

CONSTIPATION
Can be Helped!
(Use what Doctors do)
Why do the bowels usually move
regularly and thoroughly, long after
a physician has given you treatment

Because the doctor gives a hquw

the right amount. You can gradually
reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is
the secret of real and safe relief from

your druggist bow popular liquiu
