SONG OF LIFE.
A traveler on a duty road
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree.
Love sought Its shade at evening
time,
To breathe its early vows;
And Age was pleased, in heights Of
noon,
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loved its dangling
twigs,
The birds sweet music bore—
It stood a glory in its place,
A blessing evermore.
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped a well
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in and hung with care
A ladle on the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that toil might drink.
He passed again, and lo! the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parched
tongues.
And saved a life beside.
Mrs. Frank Bird, Misses Helen Lewis
and Anna Ashley of Valdosta and Miss
Ethel Buck of Tifton. The couple
left after the ceremony for Hot
Springs to join the bride’s mother,
Mrs. Z. W. Oglesby.—Quitman Free
Press.
A nameless man, amid the crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word of hope and love
Unstudied from the heart,
A whisper, on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath,
It raised a brother from the dust,
It saved a soul from death.
O germ! O fount! O word of love!
O thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first.
But mighty at the last.
—Charles Mackay.

PERSONAL COMMENT OF
REUNION VISITORS
Were it possible to gather into one
volume the interesting things about
the honored guests for the reunion it
would be a very entertaining book.
One dear elderly lady from Montgom
ery with the most beautiful silver in
her hair, remarked Monday while
standing in the lobby of the Tutwiler,
that she had been importuned by her
children not to attempt to come to
the reunion, but that she had told
them ‘‘that Birmingham was just as
near to heaven as Montgomery,” and
we all share her view.
Mrs. Frank Odenheimer of Wash
ington City, was much sought after
on Monday, being the official head ot
the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy.
Mrs. C. Helen Plane, of Atlanta,
mother of the Confederacy and presi
dent of the Confederate Monument
Association, was complimented by a
luncheon at the Tutwiler Monday and
was the center of an admiring group.
And the beautiful girls? One would
have to select from the famed ‘‘rose
bud garden,” to find a more attrac
tive colection than threaded a way
through the crowded lobby of the ho
tel all day and were found at the
dance at the Southern Club in the
evening.
One charming young woman was
Miss Francis Breckinridge Steele, of
Midland, Ky„ maid of honor Kentucky
division, U. C. V. She is a daughter

most famous men. She is widely
known in Birmingham, where the
family has many friends and rela

daughter, Miss Morgan, of Columbus,
Miss., made an interesting couple and
the sponsor and maid from Georgia,
Miss Helen Barnes, of Macon, and
Miss Nell Phinizy, of Athens, were
being introduced by the local girls
and men.
Miss Creswell is a daughter of
James P. Creswell, of Shreveport. He:

SPEAREAN CRITICISM

(By W. F. Watson.)

I have been requested to express
my opinion relative to the merits and
demerits of the new and cheap edi
tion of the Britannlca.
I am writing from an absolutely
disinterested standpoint. I bought a
set of- the 11th edition, in India pa
per, when it was first issued. I con
sider it to he the greatest set ot
books that has ever been published.
I make no exception or reservation.
Now I find that a new, unabridged
issue is offered at a price which is
surprisingly low. What are the ad
vantages of this new issue?
The two evident advantages are:
1. The reduction in size of the
volumes, making them easy to han
dle.
2. The great reduction in price.
To offset th,ese advantages, tne
cheap edition has some decided dis
advantages: It is printed in quite
small type and the printing is not
so clear and satisfactory as that in
the larger volumes. The plates are
made by a photographic process.
Printing from such plates is never so
clean-cut and easy to read as print
ing from types or their equivalent.
The maps must be so reduced in
size that the names of some of the
places on them are likely to he in
distinct and cause eye strain.
However, the new Issue will be a
boon to people who lo not care to
Invest the larger amount In books,
but yet want this great encyclopedia.
The new issue will be very satisfac
tory for people who will use it for
occasional reference only. But those
who will use it for study and exten
sive reading, as it should he used,
are likely to find the printing, in the
small edition, trying to eyes that are
not especially strong, it may even
prove detrimental to good eyes, In
some cases.
School children and college stu
dents are likely to make frequent
reference to the Britannica if it is
at hand. In these days people do
not seem to have as good eyes as
formerly. Ehren young children some
times have to wear glasses. The ur
gent necessity for (preserving the
eyes is so well known that any ex
tended argument on this point is un
necessary here, as the public i: well
Informed on this important subject.
Many people cough and cough—
from the beginning of Fall right
through to Spring. Others get cold
after cold. Take Dr. King's New Dls-
covery and yon will get almost im
mediate relief. It checks yonr cold,
stops the racking, rasping, tissue-tear
ing cough, heals the Inflammation,
soothes the raw tubes. Easy to take.

tainly a great medicine and I keep s
