It seems scarcely possible that
thirteen years have elapsed since
we went into Mott Tyler’6 “A^o
ra (Tex.) News” as devil—-we, ©f
course, succeeded in being a first
class devil; and since . leaving his
employ if we have amounted td
anything in our profession, it is
due to the excellent training we
received under his care, for he is
truly an artist printer.
It seems but yesterday that we
were running around that little
Texas village with the small boys
in knee pants; but today we are
forcibly remined that time does fly,
that it carries with it its burdens
and its cares, its pleasures and its
joys,and that it makes men of boys!
There was laid on our desk to¬
day a bright and breezy newspaper,
the Springtown (Tex.) Sun,edited
- by a schoolmate, Mr. Orion Proc¬
tor, assisted by his brother, Edgar,
who were in those days the boys
m knee pants; as was also Dan S.
Mayes,the smallest of them all,who
also sends us this week a copy of
bis excellent paper, the Whitney
(Tex.) Messenger, which shows,
also, the ear marks of genius.
Both of these papers are a credit
to their towns and country and
their editors are fast climbing the
ladder of success.
We gladly place your papers on

may both do a great good in your
respective fields of labor for the

The entertainment given at the
school building last Friday after¬
noon by the pupils of the interme¬
diate department was delightful.
The little people were very com¬
posed and unself-conscious as chil¬
dren always are, and acquitted
themselves in a way showing great
natural talent and doing much
credit to their respective teachers
brothers and larger sisters. All
without a single exception did
well, but Hood Bryant, Otis Bry¬
ant, Spencer Kellar, Marshal
Steen, Edwin Bruce, Harry Hitt,
Nellie Bright, \ Bertha Lawson,
Frank’Fessenden, Morgan Mcjun
kin, Kate Jones, George Ramsey,
Williard Owen and Mae Belle
Ramsay deserve special mention.
Some of the dialogues, a motipn
song, an operetta,-and the closing
song “In theTreetop” were excep¬
tionally well rendered and gave
much pleasure to the large number
of visitors present.
Had Mrs. J. B. Simmons, in¬
stead of being a most conscientious
and earnest church worker,adopted
the profession of actress,she would
have delighted the heart of Mr.
Palmer, who recently presented,
with unequivocal success at Park
theatre, Boston, Paul M. Potter’s
dramatization of DuMaurier’s Tril
by. Those who have read the
book which has been one of the
fads of winter, cannot fail to see
Mrs. Simmons’ wonderful resem
blance to Trilby *, and strange to
say, the likeness is even more
marked when Mrs. Simmons sings.
Maj. J. M. Freeman spent the
forepart of the week at home with
his family.
Mr. C. B. Mitcham and Henry
Carter visited Atlanta on business
this week.
Geo. Edwards visited Clarkes

Joe Norton, of Walhalla, spent

John Suttles visited near Wal¬
halla last Friday. He sold his

The Elberton Star stated in a
recent issue that the Bell family of
Elbert county can trace a direct
lineal descent from William
Shakespeare, the renowned Eng¬

understand the extraordinary temp¬
tations of people with such an il¬
lustrious pedigree, if they should
revert to the practice of the Core
ans, who have no other religion
than the worship of ancestors.
Mrs. Bowman of Elberton, who
is president of tbe Georgia Sorosis,
a woman's literary club having a

Jones, who was Miss Sarah Ed¬
wards, and who is one of the twen¬
ty living heirs to the Robert Ed
wards estate, of New York, is said
to have the clearest claim of any of
the heirs. Mrs. Jones is 85 years
old, but is strong and healthy and
expects to live to see the estate set¬
tled. The estate, consisting of a
large part of Broadway,New York,
the whole town of Aberdeen, O.,
and 1000 acres along the Hudson
river, is said to be worth near a
billion dollars. The land was grant¬
ed Robert Edwaras, Sr., by George
I. of England, and leased during
the revolutionary war for 99 years
to the English government by Robt
Edwards, Jr., the former’s nephew
and heir. The lease has expired
and the heirs, of whom Chief jus
tice Fuller, of the U. S. supreme
court is one, are pressing their
claims in New York.

Kilgo is a first ■class business man
and besides carrying a large line of

B. W. Stafford, of Demorest,
visited the editor’s family Sunday

Prof. J. W. McLaury, while
president of Rocksbury Academy,
N. Y., taught Mr. Alonzo Reed,
one of the authors of Reed and
Kellogg’s excellent grammar, now
in use in the Toccoa public schools
Mr. McLaury’s theories of teach¬
ing grammar have thus been put in
book form by Mr. Reed, and one
of the most difficult studies has
been made easy, even for very
young pupils. All who know Mr.
MqLaury will doubly appreciate
henceforth the value of this text
book.
The souvenir for the Atlanta ex¬
position designed by Mrs. Leon P.
Sledge is perfect in its way. It is
a spoon having crown of blue en¬
amel at top of handle to signify
that cotton is king; just below it is
the seal of the exposition company.
Upon the narrow part of the han¬
dle “Atlanta” is put in white en¬
amel, and the cotton boll in the
bowl of the spoon is to be of white
and green enamel.

With me Saturday afternoon has
always been rather a favorite time
for getting out in the street. Dar¬
key like, I somehow like to go out
and let it be known that I have
nothing to do after dinner on Sat¬
urday. But if it is to make calls, *
one might be careful where she
goes. One can call on elderly peo¬
ple or on a bride, or on a maiden
lady but I almost tremble to relate
my experience when I was thought¬
less as to where I went, ^wished
to put in a good afternoon’s work,
and so took a certain neighborhood
'in which some dear friends lived.
I firsf stopped at the house of *
sweet mother of six, whom I loted
very much. Entering the hall I
rapped at her own door. , Well, I
met what was to me • novel sight,
coats, and panta, end slips, and
aprons—soiled and clean—scattered
and piled around the room, and
two or three of the little ones in
the bath tub. The amiable moth¬
er was the true lady and did not
manifest to me any anoyance at my
inopportune call, but chatted mer
ily with me while the little ones
spattered away in the water.
Next I took my way across the
street for another call. Entering
the bowse I inhaled Savory odors.
The mother here, a grand .elegant,
woman, met me with baby in her
arms—in her usual cordial manner,
but as one after another of her six
or seven showed themselves, all
more or less fit subjects for the bath
tub, she told me that a hog had
been butchered that morning and
that she had been trying to get it
out of the way before Sunday.
Another inopportune call, but this
true lady, as in the first case, man¬
ifested no annoyance, but kept me
at my ease as long as 1 stayed.
While in this neighborhood I
called on another with her six. She
was also one of the queen mothers.
I rapped—what in the world! such
a noise! I rapped again. It was
was the noise of young tramping
boots. That stately mother, must,
I thought, be using peach sprouts
on her six hopefuls all at once,mak¬
ing them dance juba for their short
comings of the whole week. I
slipped a card under the door and
turned for home. On my way I
passed a corner where several fam¬
ilies with their “six or seven” lived
Seeing two or three women in the
* midst of a dozen or so children,
with eamess faces, , intent . . on some _
business. I asked a young man
near by what they were doing,
..Qh,” said he, “those mothers are
sortingout their children. They
have that to do every Saturday
0 jght.”
I will go home, I said to myself.;
children are jewels, and precious
ones, too, but I never could go
through with this Saturday after
noon program.
