OLA JONES
In last Saturday’s Atlanta Jour¬
nal was a picture of Miss Celeste
Ayer of Rome, Ga., the youngest
art teacher in the south. Miss
Ayer, having unusual talent to
begin with, studied with celebra¬
ted instructors in New York, and
on her return home last summer
was offered the position of art
teacher in Shorter College, without
having solicited it. Miss Ayer is
quite young, is very beautiful, and
to illustrate her amiability I will
tell you the following, aud you'll
believe her beautiful disposition is
genuine : One day she asked a lit-
tie Toccoa boy who was staying
awhile in Rome and happened to
meet her through one of his f rieuds,
to come and spend a whole after-
noon with her and they would talk
to their heart’s content about paint-
ings, drawings etc., subjects in
which the little fellow always felt
the supremest interest when “Miss
Ayer” whom he admired so greatly,
spoke of them.
They were seated in the parlor
where Miss Ayer’s most beautiful
pictures were, discussing them, and
just as she was in the midst of tel¬
ling him how she persuaded a little
ragged negro boy to come with
some ears of corn in the shuck so
that she could paint him from life,
and how on the appointed day he
came all dressed up in shoes and
stockings, a good suit of clothes,
coat included, and a hat without a
single hole in it, the door bell rang ’
the maid announced that Mr.-
wantnd to see her at the door. She
went, and he told her that he had
come to ask her to go driving with
him. She could not accept his
kind invitation, she . . had , company
in the parlor. A11 . hour . or two , la-
ter Mr. returned with the same
ob]ect, but again failed to engage
Miss Ayer’s company for the drive.
She still had an engagement with
the little 13 year old boy. I asked
him if he knew of the sacrifice
ma de for his sake that day, and he
replied : “No, if I had, of course
she should not have made it, but
Miss Aver proved herself superior
to most young ladies, didn't she?
I think there are very few who
would have been as interesting to a
small boy under such circumstan-
ces, don’t you?” And he smiled
as he always does when speaking
of the young lady whom he “liked
most of all the people he knew in
Rome.”
Rev. J. B. Allen’s New Year
sermon at the Presb}’’terian church
last Sunday morning was heard by
a house full of attentive and ap¬
listeners. Mr. Allen,
although he has been in Toccoa
only about a month, has proved by
work during this short time, that
he is the right man in the right
place# And we need not the
knowledge of his successful career
up to this time, to feel assured that
, wor k i n Toccoa will be done as
Christ would have it done. In him
is that happy combination so sel¬
dom found in one person, viz. the
deep, thoughtful scholar—who goes
to the bottom of things and express¬
es them in such a fascinating anc
comprehensible way that children
understand and enjoy his sermons—
the soul of sociality which wins
everyone as a friend, and the born
optimist whose ministration uplifts
the desponding, weary ones, and
puts new life and hope into their
hearts.
The Bible study club is giving
one hour on Friday evening
to the study of the Book
j of Genesis—one or two chap¬
j ters being taken at a meeting. The
j first of the meeting’s devoted to this
object was enjoyed by a large num¬
ber last Friday evening. Rev. Mr.
Hiott conducting it. After the
reading, there were questions and
discussions which brought out the
j main points in the first chapter of
Genesis. Next Friday evening,
the second and third chapters will
! be studied in the , same interesting
way, Mr. J. B. Simmons being the
leader.
Rev. Chas. R. Nisbet preached
to his especial flock on Sunday eve-
ning, a sermon which if heeded will
cause Christ’s work in the Presby-
terian church to be carried on with
a zest and heartiness that sweep all
j before them. Perhaps no year in
the history of Toccoa has begun so
propitiously for united Christian
work as does the one upon which
we are just entering. All the chur-
ches are alive, and led by the very
best pastors they have ever had at
the same time, perhaps.
Rev. Mr. King, the presiding el¬
der for the Elberton district of the
North Georgia Conference, preach¬
ed an eloquent, soul-stirring, and
spirit-lifting sermon at the Metho¬
dist Hall Sunday night. No one
can hear this powerful man of God
without aspirations for a fuller,
Dusier, more unselfish life. The
Toccoa church has every cause to
congratulate itself upon the return
of Mr. King to this district.
