MONEY IN THE MISSING WORD!
The Sentence is Simple! The Word is not Diffi¬
cult! You can Get it!
The Sentence is: “TILL TWILIGHT INTO dark;
What is the Missing Word?
The Contest Closes April 14.
The sentence is from the pen of a well known author.
The sentence is known to no one except the City Edi¬
tor of The Record, who has it doubly sealed and
locked in the safe of the Southern Publishing Co., at
Toccoa, Ga., and will not be divulged in any way till
the envelope is given to the awarding committee, who
decides to whom the money must be paid.
We Propose to Give $50.00 to the Gtiesser.
For instance: If only one contestant gets the word
right, be or she, as the case may be, will have all the
money. If more than one strike it, the sum will be
equally divided, each correct answer receiving its pro¬
portionate share of the money.
The Condition Precedent for Sending a Guess
At the missing word is that each and every guess
must be accompanied by a year’s subscription to The
Record; the guess must be sent in the identical en¬
velope that brings the money that pays for the subscrip¬
tion ; forgetting it, or leaving it out by accident or oth¬
erwise, or not knowing of the guess at the time you
subscribed, or any other reason, will not entitle one to
send a guess afterwards. The guess must come with
the subscription or not at all. Should a party send
more than one guess, he or she will be entitled to a
share of the fund for each correct guess sent; there
will be no capital prize —every one will get a first prize ;
if more than one person names the missing word pro¬
perly, the money w ill be equally divided and all stand
exactly on the same footing. Persons may guess as
many times as they send subscriptions.
TO AGENTS —We will allow 10 per cent discount and
a guess on each subscriber sent in (besides allowing each
subscriber a guess.) There must be at least five sub¬
scriptions sent in at once to take advantage of this offer.
THE CONTEST CLOSES APRIL 14 — At which time we
will pay out to the successful party or parties the full
prize amount.
IN MAKING YOUR ANSWER —You need not write the
sentence out in full, just state simply the missing word
for April is u ? 5

“There is a meadow green in slumherland,
Where the grass is deep, my haby,
Where the daisies blossom on either hand,
And nid-nod gaily, by soft winds fanned,
Sleep, O sleep, my baby.
The little bird swings in its cradle high,
O, downy nest, my baby,
j The brigtit stars are nodding ’way up in the
sky,
While the breezes sings them a lullaby ;
Best, O rest, my baby.
The little brown elf to the woodland hies
| By the glow-worm’s gleam, my baby,
He lights his dwelling with gay fire-tlies,
And frolics and sings till the bright sun
rise,
Dream, O, dream, my baby.

Lullabies are always attractive
because they always go right to the
heart and touch it in its tenderest
spot, but I think the one quoted
above is unusually sweet, and we
will appreciate it all the more when
it is known that the composer is a
lovely young southern girl, and
furthermore, a Georgia girl who
makes no pretensions, but simply
wrote in this what came sponta¬
neously from her large,warm south¬
ern heart when the women of Ma¬
con were editing for one day the
Macon Telegraph.
If southern women could have
the energy and ambition of our
northern sisters to force them to
work out what there is in them,we
would see some remarkable pro¬
ductions. The few Georgia wo¬
men who have done literary work
have proven what can be done.
Mrs. Ohl, (Maude Andrews) Mrs
Lollie Belle Wily, Mrs. Corinne
Stocker Horton, and Miss Ellen
Dorth, etc., have all done journal¬
istic work which has attracted wide
and complimentary notice.
The southern woman has always
been endowed with a deep and sen¬
sitive faculty of appreciation and of
discerning and worshipping excel¬
lence and beauty in an unusual
measure. Then she has an imag¬
ination, memory, surprising in its
fidelity and extent, and rich expe¬
riences to draw from. Further¬
more her nature is full of color and
her thoughts flow readily when she
writes because she does not check
the soul, yet she is so fond of being
made a great deal of, so contented
with the worship of men who
would put her up on a pedestal and
insist upon doing themselves all
that came under the head of real
work that she has been careless of
literary reputation, and hardly
aware of her ability until the wo¬
man’s clubs, which are flooding
the country, reached our fair south¬
land, swept away the shallow sur¬
face of character,and uncovered the
hidden, yet restless ambition which
was a secret even to herself.
But on entering this newly
| covered field of action,she does not
become manish. A true southern
\\oman never could be that. Her
husband, her children, her home
are always first in her heart, and
her literary work is not done as a
! means of support, it is done always
■ to make her an intelligent compan-
j - on f or ^ er husband, her lover, or
I men in general, and a moth-
er compe tent to rear chil-
dren who wiu come up to what is
required of them in this day of un-
usual advantages, and not with any
ho P eordesir e to excel the man,
whom she likes still to lean upon
and consider her lord.
I say by all means let woman im-
prove herselt in all the graces, ac- j
accomplishments, and studies.
Greek, Hebrew, and Sanscrit in-
included, if she can perform her
womanly duties and still find time
for these—but God forbid that the
manish woman, as represented by
Dr. Mary Walker in her male at¬
tire, should ever get a footing in
our cities! When she comes, the
chivalry, reverence, respect, admi¬
ration, and tenderness of our men
will go, because these characteris-
tics, which makes the southern
man noted all over our country, are
directly dependent upon the wo-
manliness, tenderness, dependence
of our southern women.
Mr. W. P. Fife, who is looking
for a suitable place in the south to
establish a Bible conference on the
order of the one at Northfield,Mass.
was in Toccoa Thursday of last
week, and expressed himself as be¬
ing delighted with Toccoa. In
fact he said he liked our little city
better than any other place that he
had seen, and we have some hope
of getting the Bible conference if
our people will show enough inter¬
est.
The gospel meetings conducted
at the Presbyterian church during
the past ten days by Mr. Miller,
have been well attended, and such
earnest expositions of God’s word
cannot fail to bring forth good fruit.
A spiritual uplift is sure to follow,
and the Christians of our town are
very thankful to have had this de¬
voted man of God in our midst.

The accomplished Parliamen¬
tarian, Aliss Rosa Woodberry, con¬
ducted a Parliamentary drill in the
Atlanta Woman’s Club recently,
and the Constitution reports the
following interesting and laughable
extract from it : When the meeting
was formally called to order by
Aliss Woodberry, a well-known
Atlanta woman secured the flood
and said : “The resolution which I
am a bout to present for your con-
sideration is in the interest of un-
married women who must earn a
living by their own efforts. It has
been for some time apparent to
those interested in broadening the
scope of woman’s work, that some-
thing must be done to protect this
class of dependent women. Ow¬
ing to the peculiar conditions of our
country, it is considered unwise by
the opposite sex that women should
labor in other avocations than as
school teachers, clerks, maids,
seamstresses, superintend-
of boarding houses and steno-
Of course we appreciate
ie chivalry which proifipts our
to take this broad-minded
NO. i 7
course; they reverence the utter
dependence of woman upon man,
and we as women must applaud
them for adheanng to this time¬
worn custom. I offer this solution.
Be it resolved, that no married
woman shall be allowed to labor in
any of the following avocations to
which women of our state are
eligible, namely: Seamestresses,
cooks, maids,school teachers,clerks,
stenographers, superintendent of
boarding houses and last, but not
least, that she be debarred from
usurping the one office of dignity
and honor within the reach of Geor¬
gia’s women, state librarian.”
“I suppose her resolution,” said
a lady rising excitedly, regardless
of the chair, “unless the married
includes French bonnets, trips to
Europe and sealskin coats, I think
a woman has a right to go out and
earn them if the necessity presents
itself. Women must have ideals to
live up to; everybody knows the
story of the woman who purchased
the exquisite tea pot of aesthetic
design. Calling her husband’s
attention to it, she said : ‘Algernon,
we must live up to it. 3 3 3
The lady was here deprived of
“the floor” by the chairman, who
informed her she had no right to it,,
and should never refer to the pre¬
vious speaker as “she, ’> K her, or
“Airs. So-and so,” but as “the
member on the right” or “the mem¬
ber on the left.”
When the “previous question”
was called a lady in the rear of the
meeting proposed an amendment to
the effect that “women only who
had young children should remain
at home.”
An amendment was offered to
this amendment suggested that the
word “sick” precede young chil¬
dren.
Here many questions arose as to
the signification of the term young
children, and the impulse to discuss
the ailments of children manifested
itself just at the moment; both
amendments were defeated and the
original resolution was put before
the meeting again.
