Wheat fields of Kansas are said
to be suffering greatly for need of
rain. In some places it is feared
the damage has already been done
and moisture would not save the
growing crops.
In several counties surrounding
Macon, says the News, the people

The control over local tiafhc has
been a troublesome question for

CALHOUN’S fOUNIAIN.
City to Have an Elegant Ornament.
Rural Delivery Not Wanted.
Calhoun, Ga., Jan 5, —The city
will have quite an ornament to our
prettv little park. Major McCollum
superintendent of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, has subsenoed
SSO to the fund now' being raistd
by the citizens for the purchase of
a fountain to be placed in the park.
The park is in theceuter of the city,
directly alongside the railroad. The
amount to purchase trie n uiitai.i,
SSOO, is lacking only a few dollars.
This will be paid in shortly, and
as soon as the weather permits,
work will commence in placing
the fountain, which wilt be a gem
in art.
Evidently this county does not
want rural delivery, for the country
people have b en kicking against
any petition or attempt maut to
have it in force. Those living in
the country in this part of the coun
ty get their mail quicker without
rural delivery as by the lattei way
the country people are thrown a
day behind in getting their mail

WOMEN’S CLUBS.
—MAKY N. MI NKOUD.—
The Cherokee Club held its reg
ular meeting Tuesday morning at
ten o’clock. Alter all business
was ‘.iscussed and settled a few
minutes were given to the current
topics of the day by Mrs. Patten.
The new rag carpet is on the
floor of the club room. It adds
greatly to the looks of the room,
but more greatly to the teeliug.
All who helped in getting tins car
pet are requested to visit the club
room on Saturday morning, and
see the marked improvement made
by an old-fashioned "rag carpet.”
The Southern Woman of this
week should be read by every
member of the Cherokee Club.
Several complimentary notices are
given the club, the work it has
done, and is doing, and the names
of two of its members, Mrs. A. O.
Granger and Mrs. McL. Johnson
.re seen several times. Mrs.
Granger edits each week the
"President’s Page.” She begins
this work with the following
greeting.
In assuming charge of the Pres
ident’s page, suggested by Mrs.
Johnson, 1 desire first of all to ex
tend to each club in the Georgia
Federation, and to each individual
member, my very best wishes for a
Happy New Year. Happy be
cause of the spirit of unity that
should dwell in all clubs, because
of the power that such unity gives,
and above all gaining the greatest
.nippiness from using that power
aright in work for others.
To Mrs. McL Johnson was
given the honor of being appoint
ed state chairman of libraries. She
is given the following compliments
by the Southern Woman:
Special attention is called to the
message sent to the Georgia club
women by their new state chair
man of libraries. This has al
ways been an important branch of
Federation work and the good al
ready accomplished cannot be com
puted.
Mrs. M. L. Johnson, as chair
man of Traveling Libraries for
Cherokee Club, lias made for her
self an enviable record. She takes
up state work with active interest,
and offers herself to her commit
tee and the Federation at large
freely.
This unselfish enthusiasm must,
however, be met with active co op
eration by all, if the great work
contemplated is carried to a suc
cessful finish.
The chairman and committee
will do their part The president
will give them her stiong and able
support. The Southern Woman
will aid all within her power. It
cumins only for the local clubs
:o appoint local committees to
work with state committees for the
work to attain greater magnitude
benefiting additional tnousands of
people ot the state.
‘‘The editors of the News and
Courant were not left out of the
columns of the club paper.
vV ords of praise for faithful ef
foit are always acceptable and be
come doubly so when given by so
well known and thorough a jour
nalist as the editor of the News
md Courant of Cartersville. Na
turally we agree with him most
Heartily when he says:
“ ‘The department of the South
ern woman devoted to matters con
nected with the Daughters of the
Confederacy as conducted by Miss
Sheibley sparkles with interest, as
foes everything in the columns of
this bright woman’s paper. Noth
ing notable is seemingly overlook
ed in the admirable weekly round
up of events. Such publications
deserve success, such as this one
seems to be enjoying.’”
ADDRESS OF MRS. GRANGER.
The following is the address of
Mrs. Arthur Granger, delivered
upon accepting the presidency of
the Georgia Federation of Wo
men’s Clubs;
Ladies and gentlemen of Athens;
fellow-members of the Federa
tion:
In accepting from our retiring
president this gavel,l must remind
you that we were told the other
night that one of the signs of be
ing old-fashioned was to be fond of
making button-holes and knitting.
Let me plead guilty, then, to being
‘‘old-fashioned,” for I enjoy mak
ing button holes, when I have on
the right glasses, ard am so fond
of knitting that there’s some in my
trunk here in Athens.
That knitting might be taken as
a symbol of our Federation. It is
a blanket made in the old blanket
stitch of white wool, each row be
gins by merely putting up a thr- ad.
then a stitch is taken off, and the
next two stitches are knit togeth
er —‘‘up, off, two together,” over
and over to the end of the row and j
back again.
"Federation” is a fine word, but!
we club women are really just a
sisterhood, and we are trying to
knit a blanket for Georgia. The
white thread of knowledge and
purity, so soft and smooth, is put
in individual stitches to make the
blanket. I am the thread which
is just cast up, Mrs. Johnson is the
stitch taken off, but in the knit
ting back my thread will be wrap
ped around hers, making one
strong stitch. And there are blue
stripes across the blanket, the pure
blue, baby blue of truth.
A speaker yesterday showed us :
a map of these United States in 1
which Georgia stood as a black I
blot, because of her illiteracy. We j
wish by our work to cover that j
blot with a blanket of white light !
blended with the blue of truth. In
this we ask for the aid of a!1 our
friends, both here in hospitable
Athens and all through our state.
May the opening year’s work make
gieat increase in the size of our j
blanket, with many thanks for !
the honor conferred upon me, I ac- I
cept this token of leadership, the
gavel.
MUSICAL NOTES.

carried out, and thoroughly en
joyed by all present. Programriie

Will Y 11 si. < i>;Well
lo night? Not if you have a cough
that begins to torment you as soon
as you lie down. You can conquer
the cough with Allen’s Lung
Balsam, which will relieve the
pain in the chest, the irritation in
the throat and the hard breathing.
Since it contains no opium, this
remedy may be given freely to

adults.
The Sji r t, of Winter.
The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presence known in
many different wavs—sometimes
by cheery sunshine and glistening
snows, and sometimes by driving
winds and blinding stoims. To
many people it seems to take a
delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists
harder, twinges sharper, catarrh
becomes more annoying, and the
many symptoms of scrofula are
developed and aggiavated. There
is not much poetry in this, but
there is truth, and it is a wonder
more people rton’t get rid of these
ailments. The medicine that cures
them —Hood’s Sarsaparilla—is eas
ily obtained and th, re is abundant
proof that its cures are radical and
permanent.
REMARKABLE CUKE OF
CItOUP.
A Little Boy’s Life Saved.
I have a few words to say re- !
garding Chamberlain's Cough j
Remedy. It saved my little boy’s \
life and I feel that I cannot praise
it enough. I bought a bottle of
it from A. E. Steere of Goodwin,
S. D., and when I got home with
it the poor baby could hardly i
breathe. I gave the medicine as |
directed every ten minutes until j
he “threw up” and then I thought
sure he was going to choke to
death. We had to pull the phlegm <
out of his mouth in great strings. I
I am positive that if 1 had not got
that bottle of cough medicine, my
boy would not be on earth today

A Boy Whose Teacher Wouldn't Pun
ish Him For tho World.
Master Walters had been much
annoyed by some one of his schol
ars whistling in school. Whenever
he called a boy to account for such
a disturbance he would plead that
it was unintentional —“lie forgot
all about where he was.” This be
came so frequent that the master
6aid he would punidi the next of
fender. The next day, when the
room was unusually quiet, a loud,
sharp whistle broke the stillness.
Every one asserted that it was a
certain boy, who had the reputation
of a mischief maker and a liar. He

was called up, and though with- a
somewhat stubborn look he denied
it again and again, was commanded
to hold out his hand. At this in
stant a slender little fellow not
more than seven years old and with
a very pale but decided face held out
his hand, saying as he did so with
the clear and firm tone of a hero:
“Mr. Walters, sir, do not punish
him; I whistled. I was doing a
long, hard sum, and in rubbing out
another I rubbed it out by mistake
and spoiled it all, and before I
thought whistled right out, sir. I
was very much afraid, but I could
not sit there and act a lie when I
knew who was to blame. You may
punish me as you said you should.”
And with all the firmness he could
command he held out the little
hand, never for a moment doubting
that he was to be punished. Mr.
Walters was very much affected.
“Charles,” said he, looking at the
erect form of the delicate child who
had made such a conquest over his
natural timidity, “I would not pun
ish you for the world. No one hero
doubts that you spoke the truth.”—

A Useful Dog.
There was once a little boy who
lived on a farm in the far east. He
had a dog of the name of Watch.
One day as his father was going to
market, a distance of ten miles, the
dog wanted to follow. Ilis master
tried to drive him back several
times, but the dog was determined
to go. After traveling about three
or four miles the boy’s father found
110 had lost his overcoat. So v he
turned the horses around and drove
back. There, to his great surprise,
he found Watch lying on the over
coat in the middle of the road and
the teams turning out in the deep
snow to pass him. Watch was a
useful dog to have on the farm.—

Flower Bubbles.
Children, have you ever tried blow
ing bubbles with flowers? I don’t
suppose yovi have. Well, try it. It’s
great fun.
Make a nice suds to begin with and
add a few drops of glycerin and am
monia. Then get some petunia blos
soms and sit down in front of your
bowl.
Dip a big blossom lightly into the
soapy water and put the little end to
your lips, having removed the stalk
and the leaves, of course; then
blow.
The bubble which comes from the
end of the flower will be simply
lovely—all the colors of the rain
bow, big, bright and beautiful. Just
try it and see.

Do noble things, not dream them, all

CONDENSED STORIES.
The Amusing Catalogue In the Royal
Gallery of Venice.
Catalogues of foreign art galleries
are often amusing when they essav
translation. Now the English edi
tion of the catalogue of the royal
gallery in Venice must be hard to
beat. Of Bartolomeo Vivarini the
catalogue says: “One of the illustri
ous masters of the Murano school.
He precedes and prepare the splen
dors of the Yenitian art. His news
are going from 1449 to 1499. First
ly, he war helped from his brother,
and his art perceive the influence of
Padua. Afterwards he attained some
model of style from Antonello of
Messina.” Of another painting the
catalogue says: “The Miracle of S.
Mark. S. Mark come from high
i with a rapid flight and as preeipitat
; ing himself headlong to free the
; slave from the torture. Behind him
i the light prevails; under the shade,
except the slave who body shine
on the soil, with a wondefull end.
In the back ground, before wich are
two moors with turbant and short
cloaks, shines at the sun with daz
zling brightness. This is the spon
taneous and potent work of the gen
ius, created with joy.”
Fun For the Students.
Professor Max Muller tells this
story of his student days in Ger
many: “I remember that on one oc
casion before the introduction of
cabs we hired all the sedan chairs
in Leipsic, with their yellow coated
porters, and went in procession
through the streets, much to the as
tonishment of the good citizens and
annoyance also, as they .were unable
! to lure any means of conveyance till
a peremptory stop was put to our
fun. Not content with this ex
ploit, when the first cabs were intro
duced into Leipsic, thirty or forty
being put on the street at first, I
and my friends secured the use of
all of them for the day and proceed
ed out into the country. The inhab
itants, who were eagerly looking
forward to a drive in one of the
new conveyances, were naturally an
noyed at finding themselves fore
stalled, and the aesult was that a
stop was put to such freaks in fu
ture by the issue of a police regula
tion that nobody was allowed to
hire more than two cabs at a time.”
Obeying Orders Literally.
The following story is told of a
negro recruit who challenged the
officer of the day: “‘Halt, dar!
Who’s dat?’ The answer was, ‘Offi
cer of the day.’ Again the sentry
sung out: ‘Halt, dar! Who’s dat?’
The officer then asked him what in
Sam Hill was the matter. Why
didn’t he know his orders? The ne
gro said: ‘I does know mah orders.
|s>
HE HASTILY DODGED BEHIND A THEE.
De sargint done tele me to halt you
three times and den shoot you/
And with that he cocked his rifle.
Thereupon the officer hastily dodg
ed behind a tree, from which retreat
he succeeded with difficulty in per
suading the recruit not to shoot.”
Any Cord Would Do.
General Ballington Booth of the
Volunteers of America told a story
at the meeting of his organization
of a prayer meeting held on the
east side during a mayoralty cam
paign, says the I'sew York Commer
cial Advertiser. In the midst of a
prayer, he related, one pious brother
6aid:
“Oh, Lord, we pray thee that the
Democratic party may hang togeth
er in the coming election.”
“Amen! Answer prayer, Lord,”
put in a Republican who was near.
“But I do not mean it as the Re
publican brother means it, Lord. I
pray that we may hang together in
concord and accord,” continued the
Democrat.
“Amen, Lord,” again said the Re
publican. “Any ’cord, so long as
they hang.”
Wouldn’t See the Joke.
Henniker Heaton, member of par
liament for Canterbury, was recent
ly asked by the archbishop cf Can
terbury “of what advantage is the
presentation of the freedom of a
city to its recipient ?” “It enables
him to open a public house, your
grace,” was the reply. “How shock
ing!” rejoined Dr. Temple, who did
not choose to see the joke.
