ONE OF GEORGIA’S
RICHEST TOWNS
By REV. ALEX W. BEALER.
Thomftsville, Ga., April 18,1904.
To my friends in Bartow
county, 1 send through this issue
of the Courant Americana loving
greeting, freighted with the fra
grance of roses and yellow
jasmines and bright with the sun
shine of my Southern home. God
lias 1 een good to me since I left
the hills and valleys of Bartow;
my lines have fallen in pleasant
places, my Baptist brethren here
have built me a beautiful new
home, and the members of other
denominations have been as sweet
and kind to me as they were in
Cartersville, which is saying a
good deal. 1 want to tell you,
however, something about our
town and not so much about my
self.
Thomasville is one of the l'ichj
est towns in Georgia. No, not
rich in money as the world counts
riches, but rich in other things
that are better than money. It ig
rich in hospitality. It breathes
from the humble cabin, o’er the
doorway of which the morning
glories run ayd in the front yard
of which the fouro’clocks bloom.
It is dispensed with lavish hand
from the homes of the Northern
millionaire and the big-hearted
farmers \v ho cultivate the soil in
this favored land.
It is lich in busy men and
women. We are all so busy at
tending to our own business that
we don’t have time to find out
what our neighbors are going to
have for breakfast; so busy that
we actually don’t have time to
hook up our buggies and go to
meet the train. In fact, the ar
rival of the train down here in
Thomasville doesn't crfeate a
single ripple of excitement upon
the life of the town. Our people
are busy talking up their own
town, and in trying to get other
folks to locate here. During the
nine months I have lived here I
have not heard a single resident
of Thomasvillle say anything
against the town; we all love it
very much, and the men, women
and even the childivn have opened
wide their mouths to proclaim its
attractions, amd have put their
shoulders to the wheel to push it
on to future greatness and glory.
Thomasville is rich in line resi
dences. They are built by North
ern capital and are kept by them
mostly as playthings. They use
them a few months out of the
year and then they are closed for
the balance of the season. When
they come in the winter they
spend their money freely, bring
numbers oi servants and strings
of horses with them and add much
to the life of the city.
Thomasville is rich in climate.
During the winter there is gen
erally just enough of winter’s
breath upon the bretze to invigo
rate, just enough of summer’s
langorous touch in the sunshine
to lull the senses to repose. Just
now a little cool spell is upon us,
the tail end of a North Georgia
blizzard, I suppose, unless it is
that the weather man has drawn
a sight draft on next October for
the coolness that has descended
'upon us.
Thomasville is rich in freaks.
We have the business freak, the
social freak, the religious freak,
the common or all-round freak
and the old-fashioned fool freak.
Most of them, however, have
come upon us from other sections
seeking money from the visitors,
and we do not, like the poor,
have them with us always, for
they take their departure with
the robins, and we are free to en
joy tin) old-fashioned, normal
Georgia folks until the coming of
the next winter.
Thomasville is rich in having
few growlers and kickers. I
have known some men to growl
so continually at the weather, at
politics, at the state government,
at the church, at the whole
created universe that I felt satis
fied that if an examination was
made dog bristles would have
been found growing on their
spinal column. Not a single one
of these unfortunate inhabitants
do I know of in Thomasville. As
I said before we are all so busy
trying to build up the community
and bring people to a knowledge
of the Lord Jesus Christ that we
have no time left in which to kick
and growl.
I hear good things of the work
of my successor in your town and
I congratulate him on the work
he is doing. I have kept up with
the onward progress of the town
in which I have spent so many
pleasant days, and am very much
gratified to see that her face is
turned to the front and that she
is pushing on to better and greater
things in the future. My heart
is saddened to think that I will
never have the pleasure of greet,
ing my friends Joe Jones, Major
Smith, Watt Harris and quite a
number of others who have slipped
the cable that bound them to the
shores of life and drifted out into
the great ocean of eternity.
To aii the people of the town
I send my kind t greetings,
coupled with the wish that, in the
near future, they -"ay have a town
even richer than ours in all the
things that I have named.
HER MARRIED NAME.
BV CHABX.ES J. BAYNE.
In the mountains lang ago,
Undsrneatli the arching vine,
How shs stirred the pulsing currents
With her little hand in mine!
And in dreams she comes again,
Shy and sweet then she came—
I would write and tell her, only
I forget her married name.
Where the bounding billows rolled
Like the beating of my heart,
When we railed in rugged phrases
At our fate that we must part,
How she femininely swore
Death would find her still the same!-
I would write and tell her, only
I forget her married name.
Here are letters pink and pale,—
Pals and old, but their perfume,
Like a rising incense, sweetens
All the corners of my room;
At the end of each a word
Quite the dearest pen cow Id frame—
I would stnd them to her, only
I forget her married name.
Why from this one drops a curl,
Soft as silk and bright as gold—
Quite as silken in its softness
As in golden days of old.
She should have it back, I know,
But I really fear the shame
Should it prove her brunette sister
Who took on a married name.
White shirts are “it.”
Many shirtings resemble eta'
mine.
Linens are ideal summer wear
in many ways.
Pleated shirts harmonize with
pleated skirts. Linens hold their
shape better than other fabrics.
Laces have no place on the
shirt waist pure and simple.
China silk shirts will be super
seded by those of linen and dimity.
Lawn is one of the ever useful
stuffs for the summer shirt waist.
The best way for an 11-year
old girl to wear her hair is in a
plat, if it is long enough; if not,
tie with a large bow of black
ribbon at nape of neck. Pompa
dour it in front if it is curly, and
tie at crown of head with a bow
of ribbon, letting all the hair hang
free.
