HOME.
Thatcher T. P. Luquer, a grand
nephew of John Howard Payne, con
tributes a most interesting article to
the Christmas Scribner, He tells some
new things about that author’s early
life, and especially about the time
•’When Payne Wrote ‘Home! Sweet
Home!’” He includes a poem called
"Home” that contains much of the
same sentiment that marked the song
of maturer years.
"It is only lately that a poem has
come to light, written during this pe
riod, which is particuarly interesting
as the immature expression of those
sentiments which years after culmi
nated in ‘Home! Sweet Home!’ It
was found among the papers of Har-
manus Bleecker, of Albany, a friend
and patron of Payne during his col
lege days, and was presented, in the
summer of 1011, to Union College by
General Amasa J. Parker, of Albany.
Through the courtesy of President
Richmond, of Union College, 1 am
permitted to publish it here.
“Home
“Where burns the lov’d hearth bright
est
Cheering the social breast?
Where beats the fond heart lightest,
Its humble hopes posses’d?
Where is the smile of sadness,
Of meek-eyed Patience born,
Worth more than those of gladness
Which Mirth’s bright cheek adorn,—
Pleasure is marked by fleetness,
To those whoever roam;
While grief itself has sweetness
At Home—dear Home.”
MISSION STUDY CLASS.
The Mission Study Class of the
First Methodist church will meet at
Mrs. D. D. Quillian’s this afternoon at
4 o'clock. The chapter fcr study is
“A Nation at School.”
WOMAN'S CLUB.
The Woman’s Club will meet Mon
day afternoon at 4 o’clock in the
Electric Building.
THE PRINCE OF PILSEN
(M. D. L.)
The life of the average musical
comedy is brief, three or four seasons.
The Prince of Pilsen is an exception
to the rule, because the music in it is
pretty and tuneful and the comedy in
it is clean and wholesome. Few mu
sical show’s have ever enjoyed
greater popularity than The Prince of
Pilsen; no one has had more of its
music pirated outright or closely imi
tated. “The Tale of the Sea-shell’ 1
was follow’ed by “The Tale of the
Bumblebee” and various other songs
similar in words and music. “Keep
It Dark” was put into various musical
shows after it proved one of the hits
of The Prince of Pilsen. “The Mes
sage of the Violets” was imitated ad
infinitum, and the same may be said
of most of the other songs in this
comedy.
The Prince of Pilsen will be given
at the Colonial on Monday evening
with Jess Dandy in his old role—Hans
Wagner. A few years ago—when he
was last seen in Athens—he was a
very clever comedian and it is hardly
likely that he is less clever now.
The Prince of Pilsen should be one
of the best attractions here this sea
son—it certainly will be if the pro
ducing company is at all good.

U. Dt C. CONVENTION
The delegates to the twenty-first
annual convention of the Georgia di
vision, United Daughters of the Con
federacy, in session at Thomasville,
Wednesday night enjoyed a large re
ception tendered to them by the mem
bers cf John B. Gordon chapter, given
at the residence of Mrs. James Watt,
vice president of the chapter. Today
the delegates were entertained at a
very beautiful luncheon by the John
B. Gordon chapter. At both entertain
ments there were quantities of lovely
roses, the flowers for which Thom
asville is noted, used profusely in the
Confederate colors of red and white,
At the meeting this morning the chief
feature "was the annual address of the
president, Mrs. W. D. Lamar, which
was listened to with close attention
by the delegates and visitors. It was
very full and comprehensive and told
most interestingly of the work that
has been accomplished by the Georgia
division and the plans for new work
ahead. At the close of the address re
ports were heard, from other officers
of the division and from various com
mittees, including the free scholarship
committee, the educational committee
and the Helen Plane Endowment fund.
• At the afternoon session there were
more reports from the text book com
mittee, Mrs. Z. Walker, Georgia room
at Richmond committee; Mrs. R. L.
Nisbet, Shiloh Monument committee;
Mrs. J. K. Ottley, Arlington Monument
committee; Mrs. Rounsaville, and also
reports from the recorder of crosses;
Miss Rebeoca Dupont, the state editor;
Mrs. J. W. Reeves and the state his
torian and committee on historical re
search, Miss Mildred Rutherford. It
was at first feared that Miss Ruther
ford would not be able to reach here
as she had somewhat delayed her |
leaving San Francisco, where she had ;
been since the meeting of the general!
convention of United Daughters of the !
Confederacy, but she arrived this
morning and will deliver her costume
lecture tomorrow evening.
With 135 delegates in attendance,
the convention is proving one of the
largest and most interesting in the
history of that organization.
The question of a president to suc
ceed Mrs. Walter Lamar, wno having
held "the office for four years is no
longer eligible, is one of the most im
portant matters being discussed to
day, r.nd the three most prominently
mentioned in this connection are Mrs.
Zebulon Walker, of Canton; Mrs. Her
bert Franklin, of Tennille, and Mrs.
McD. Wilson, of Atlanta.—Exchange.
COOPER-BRAY.
The following invitation has been
received in Athens:
“Mr. and Mrs. Charles Willis Cooper
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter,
Norene Elizabeth, to Mr. Harvey
Francis Bray on Wednesday after
noon, December first, at half after
three o’clock, at home, Commerce,
Georgia.”
. This wedding is of much interest
here where both bride-to-be and
groom have scores of friends and a
number of Athenians will go to Com
merce to attend the wedding.
SOCIETY WILL MAKE APRONS.
The Young Ladies’ Missionary So
ciety of the First Presbyterian church
will hold an informal meeting at the
home of Miss Margaret Campbell on
Mell street this afternoon at 3:30
o’clock.
The society will spend the after
noon making aprons of different sorts.
Each member is requested to bring
material for an apron
MEETING OF LADY PRINCIPALS.
The meeting of the Association of
Lady Principals, which will be held
In this city Saturday, is of especial in
terest to Athenians as the president is
Miss Moina Michael, of the Normal
School and the chief speaker, Dr. J.
W. Lynch, pastor of the First Baptist
church. Dr. Lynch’s subject is “The
Conservation of Womanhood.”
A complete program of the conven
tion can be found on another page of
the Banner.
THE RIVALS.
Before a most appreciative audience
at the Normal School auditorium
Wednesday evening, Dr. Southwick
gave “The Rivals.” On this brilliant
comedy of Sheridan, Dr. Southwick
was at his best, as he always is in
anything he essays. After hearing
him in any one of Shakespeare’s
plays, it seems that he excels In that
particular one; after “Herod,” the
hearers are sure that nothing else
could be Interpreted quite so well; af
ter “The Rivals” every one present
felt that nothing could be more satis
fying than his rendering of that.
Dr. Southwick is doubtless the most
scholarly reader in America; he pos
sesses a voice of wonderful power and
sweetness; his body is responsive
and, his facial expression remarkable,
These make his readings the delight
that “The Rivals” was.

PH1NIZY-BLACK.
'Mr. Leonard Phinizy, of Augusta,
announces the engagement of his
daughter, Marian Coles, to Mr. David
C. Black, of Atlanta, the wedding to
take place in December."
The wedding will doubtless be the
most brilliant affair in Augusta this
season, and there will be many people
from Athens who will attend.
LOVELY PARTY. FOR MRS. HOLT.
Mrs. Joseph Holt, of Sherman, Tex
as, was the honor guest at a beaut!
ful party given yesterday afternoon
by Mrs. Roy Strickland.
The attractive home was given an
added beauty by the decorations of
potted ferns and white- and yellow
chrysanthemums, vases of these ex
quisite flowers being used in all of
the rooms.
The score cards were unusually at
tractive and suggestive of the ap
proaching holiday season. They were
hand-painted turkeys ridden by cupids,
wearing beautiful caps.
The guest prize was a French em
broidered pincushion. The first prize,
a pair of embroidered guest towels,
was won by Miss Agnes Goss. Mrs.
Munro Dearing cut the consolation, a
cute little donkey.
