The women of the “Hub” have had a voice in school affairs for twenty-nine years. In Russia there is a strange freak. A famous ballet dancer reads law by day. She has passed her preliminary examination and as soon as she enters the profession will give up the stage. She is said to be a girl of rare loveliness. The most stunning society event of the winter in New York’s “100” was the debut of Miss Marjorie Gould, daughter of George .1. Gould. The dance was on the seventh at the Plaza. There were 250 guests, four orchestras and 100 different selections of music were played. Three collations were served during the cotillion and a supper after. Among the favors were gold cigarette cases and cute Pomeranian dogs. The decora tions were in imported ferns, many from Australia. The dancing lasted until four o’clock in the morning. Miss Gould’s dress was of “American Beauty” satin made Grecian and embroidered with roses. The sleeves and yoke were of fine old point lace. She wore so many jewels that her clothes seemed of little importance. It was estimated that the main sup per cost ¥IOO a plate. Miss Gould is 17 years old. Bill I ... .. Lemon baths are becoming pop ular as a help to feminine sweet ness by being a “lirst aid to beauty.” Six lemons are cut into thin slices and washed in water for half an hour. This lemon water is added to the bath and is said to be quite invigorating besides softening the skin, adding color to the cheeks and brightening the eyes. La Walla is the new opera that seems destined to live a while. It is by Catalani and the plot is laid among the snowy mountains of Tyrol, a love story.. A German princess wooed by a half dozen princes ran away with an automobile demonstrator.

They carried a large Christmas package to each of the inmates besides clothes for j the live men and toys for the four j little ones now staying there. They r i were warmly welcomed upon ar riving at the poor house and the pleasure of each one who received the separate remembrance carried for them was touching in the ex- ! treme. There were sixteen inmates, live men, seven women and four | children. All of the men and wo men are old and feeble except the mother of the four children. Most of them feeble minded and it was a most pathetic scene as the friend less old people gathered around the visitors, eager to see what was brought them. These people are given enough to eat and wear and a place to stay beside a good fire and are kindly i treated. Mr. and Mrs. Fpshaw do all they can for them, but it is such a pity that they are not nearer town where we could help take care of them and do y little kindnesses for these old people who are so sad and lonely. Some of them have been carried to the poor house by their own children. One woman, old and feeble, said: ■W hy, my own daughter brought me here.” They were eager for a prayer service so Mr. Cleveland assembled them in oue of the rooms, took from his pocket a testament and read the chapter beginning, “Let not your heart be troubled, Believe in God, beleive also in me; I go to prepare a place for you.” After the reading we had prayer and sang “Sweet bye and.bye.” There w;is not a dry eye in the room when we finished. It would be a great Ikhiii to these old people to have you with visit them. It would mean so much to them; tho the way is long and the road is rough it will bring a blessing to those xvho go. It has been suggested by some of the different societies and or ganizations of our town that we petition the grand jury to authorize the moving of the poor house nearer Cartersville. We trust that those who have the influence will take the matter up and do what they can to brighten the lives of these old people. 31 its. Sam P. Jones. It has been such a source of pleasure to me to help scatter sun shine in the desolate homes in and around Cartersville since my resi dence here. It is really a pleasure to me to go where 1 can be of some help to those who need it. But I must tell you the most pathetic scene I have ever witnessed was when we drove up to the county poor house which is situated ten miles from Cartersville, where we arrived. Tho I was tired and cold from the drive, I felt amply re paid for the sacrifice I might have made in going. We were met by almost a score of people, ages anywhere from five months to ninety years. There were thirteen old people, all feeble, and so lonely and sad. Their only home situated a good quarter of a mile from the main road and the people haven’t the pleasu re or com pany of watching the passers by for no one ever passes the poor house. 31 r. and 31 rs. Upshaw are are kind and good but they can only do a limited amount for each inmate and it is impossible for them to furnish these people with entertainment, recreation or amuse ment, but I feel that it would be such a great thing for Bartow county’s poor if the Commissioners would buy a small farm near town so we all could help them make the last days of our old and poor people who are turned out of homes that should furnish them shelter and in many places comfort. So many people in Cartersville I know would take great pleasure in mak ing the condition more pleasant. 31 rs. R. L. Pilling. I am sure when those who had the matter in hand decided upon the location and made the pur chase for the county they had what seemed to them good and sufficient reasons. That may have been the best the county could do at that time and even till the present. But there is to my mind no question as to the unfortunate location of this farm. A public institution should not be hid unless it is one that lias no light to exist. The court house is the center of the county and all roads lead that way. The pauper farm is twelve miles from the center of the county, perfectly isolated, and for this reason very few of our peo ple know anything of the institu tion, its management and what care the great county of Bartow is taking of its helpless poor. I lieiieve if this farm were sold and a much smaller one in matter of average were bought closer in just a few good fertile acres adopted to truck gardening, xvitli a sainted superintendent, it would be the best possible thing for the institution It would no longer be bill and a personal interest would be taken in the welfare of the institution anil its inmates which is not now possible. This in which we ought to take pride and do all possible for the comfort of God’s poor. M e cannot, we dare not be stingy and parsimon ions here. W. A. Cleveland. Put yourselves in their places you of influence. The pity of it. To thirst for prayer. To be home less and so forsaken that the one ray of hope is the promise “I go to prepare a place for you.” None of life’s sweetness only the “Sweet by and by.” If they were near we could at least brighten the way for them. Our ministers would, I know, hold a weekly prayer ser for them. I believe there are good men and women who would not forget to visit them. Mrs. A. B. S. Moseley enter tained several friends in a delight fully informal way Friday after noon in honor of Mrs. Lindsey Johnsop, of CartersviHe, who is visiting Mrs. Charles Porter. -Mi's. Moseley’s guests all former friends of Ylrs. Johnson, and they were charmed to have her with them again. After an afternoon spent in delightful conversation and pleasant games, delicious refresh ments were served. Mrs. George Nixon and Miss Lillie Shropshire assisted mis. Mosely in the enter taining of her guests. Those invited to meet Mis. John ; son were, Mesdames. Harper, Haiti ilton, Carlton Wright, Luke Mc- Donald, B. T.

The regular meeting of the Wo man’s Home 3lission Society will be held in the Sam Jones 3lemor ial church Monday January 18, the meeting having been postponed from the 11th of January on ac count of the funeral services of our beloved friend, 31rs. Lovejov. The entire membership are urged to be present at this meeting. The women of the church are cordially invited to meet with us. The Lay woman’s Monument will be the subject under discussion at this meeting. NEW WORK. Emergency Hospital systematic care of sick and needy. We are again called upon to mourn the going away of one of our most useful and beloved mem bers, 3lrs. W. L\ Lovejoy. 3lay the Father comfort the hearts of her husband and children. We mourn with them in this great loss to the home, the church and the state. But we know our loss has been her eternal gain and Heaven is richer by her entrance there. Success is su re to crown the lal>ors of the truly consecrated in heait and life. The tragedy of a human life is to miss God’s plan. Its glory and honor is to do the will of God and to till the place assigned by the master. If I give less than heretofore, I favor a reduction of the mission ary forces proportionate to my re- j duced contribution. If I give the same as formerly, I ' favor holding the ground already won, but I oppose a forward move ment. 3ly song is, “Hold the Fort,” forgetting that the Lord never intended that His army should take refuge in a fort. All His soldiers are under “marching orders” always. They are com manded to “Go.” If I advance my offering beyond former years, then 1 favor an ad vance movement in the conquest of new teritory, for ('hrist. Shall I not join this class? If I add one hundred per cent, to my former contributions, then I favor doub ling the missiionary force at once. If I add fifty per cent. I say: “Send out one-half as many more;” and if I add twenty-five per cent, I say to our missionary society: “Send out one-fourth more than are now in the field.” What shall I do? I surely do not favor the recall of our old whole missionary force, or of any part of it. Neither am I satisfied simply to hold our own so long as the great majority of the heathen world as yet have never heard of Christ. 1 do be lieve in greatly increasing the present number of our missionaries; therefore 1 will increase my former offerings to missionary work.— Pittsburg Christian Advocate.

COUNTY NEWS RYDAL As this place has not been heard ! from in quite a wlaile, we will try and let you hear from us again. We are still here and as determined 1 as ever. 'lhe health of the community is pood—distressingly so, the doctors say. As the old year has passed out and the new year has come in, let us all put our shoulders to the wheel ami 1 endeaver to make an improvement on all previous years, morally, relig | ously, aud in fact everything that tends to the uplifting of humanity. We have a fine school at Pine Log opened up with about 185 pupils, we understand that everything points to the best school we have ever had at Pine Log, of which we feel proud. A part of the district feels keenly the , effect of this large school, the county | school commissioner having hurt the district in order to build up this I school, leaving the other school i houses idle in the district and as good | children around them as are in the ' Pine Log district. Hut yet they are knocked our of the benefit of the [public school, by the commissioner closing the school houses in their reach; there are helpless orphan chil dren in this territory with up one to provide school facilities for them and it seems to me that there is a lame place in the school law or in the board one or the other. There are some children in Pine Logdistr ct that are left oat of any school district, and yet we aee told that it is a fair thing. We hear some of the citizens declaring that they will enter suit against the school board for damage if there are not some arrangements made for them to get their part of the public schooling. Their time for schools is now* while their children are little. Mrs. Kebecaa Walker has been elected as fourth teacher in the Pine Log school. Biie is a fine teacher. Mr. T. C. Franks is very sick at Mr. T. M. Adair’s. Mr. Franks was over visiting from Canton, Ga., when taken sick. We hope for him a speedy recovery. Mr. L. M. Upshaw has bougt a lot in Rydal and will build c three room house on it at once. For fear I make this letter too lengthy I will quit. PINE GROVE. We are sorry to state that Mr. A. J.

Spring Term Opens Monday and Will Hold Three Weeks. The spring term of Bartow supe rior court convened last Monday, his honor, Judge A. W. Fite, presiding. The term will occupy practically two weeks and alihough an adjourn ed term was held in November —or or delayed term rather—there is con siderable business fo be disposed of. The grand jury is composed of ths following citizens: Thomas Lumpkin. David B. Freeman, John L. Vaughan, Aaron M. Puckett, William H. Baker, William N. Kown, Thomas R. Turner, Buford F.

This c . r is i;m " ■ it i* which the new solicitor, Col. Thomas C. Milner, has officially figured. He seems to take naturally to his new duties and bids fair to make a very fine officer.

J udge Pifo’s charge to the jury was ; a particularly strong one. After charging along the usual lines he touched on some special matters. He told the jury they must look out I specially for the educational inter l ests. the roads and tax matters. Lit | erature, he said was only a part of an education and moral and religion.-- ; training were even more important than literary training. See that none but moral teachers are allowed to teach the young. The county ought to have a school house in every local ity where it was possible to maintain a school. The roads ought to be worked from the court house out in (different directions and when this j was done take the roads from other ; towns out and work them. Certain ; hills in the county ought to be cut, down in the winter months. dwelt on the faulty laws regardinjl ; tax returns and cited flagrant, ini ' stances of tax dodging that some laws • ought to be passed to remedy.
