SOUTHERN LITERATURE.
Every school boy and girl should
have a passionate love for his country
and for the outstanding men and wo
men who helped to make it.
The south is coming to the fore to
day as never before from 1 irgini.t,
the mother of presidents, to Texas,
the vast dominion of undeveloped re
sources; from George Washington to
Woodrow Wilson, she stays in the sad
dle of progress.
To know warriors like Lee and Jack
son, and Wheeler; to be acquainted
with orntors like Toombs and Steph
ens and Calhoun, and not know poets
like Lanier and Wible is to be living
far beneath one's privilege.
Among the famous poets of our own
beloved state shines the name of ltich
nrd Henry Wilde, born in Dublin and
coming over to Augusta early in life
with his parents, he became widely
and favorably known in the social and

More than women and
22,000 men make up the list of
the owners of Swift & Company.
Every state in the Union is
represented.
Of this great enrollment more
than 10,000 are employes of
Swift & Company who own shares
in the business.
An additional 13,000 employes
are buying shares on deferred
payments.
These men and women have
confidence in the company’s poli
cies, its integrity and purposes.
That is why they invest their
savings in shares.
Swift & Company has been
paying dividends regularly for 34
years. The present rate is 8 per cent.
Swift & Company shares are
bought and sold on the Chicago
and Boston stock exchanges.
The company itself has no
shares for sale.
The shares represent actual,
tangible values. There is no water.
Anybody livestock man,
retailer, or consumer —may buy
them and thus become a part owner
of Swift & Company.
No one man, no one family,
owns as much as half of the stock.
Swift & Company, U. S. A.
This advertisement is for the purpose
of acquainting you with the fact that
Swift & Company is not a “close cor
poration,” and that any one may
participate in the profits—and share
the risks end responsibilities —by
becoming a shareholder.

eral of Georgia and represented her

always creditably and nobly. He was

and deeply and profoundly learned.
The one poem of bis that is familiar
to every school boy and girl is entitled
“STANZAS”
My life is like the Summer's Rose
That opens to the morning sky—
Hut, ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die!
Yet on the rose's humble bed
The sweetest dews of night tire shed,
I As if she swept the waste to see—
But none shall weep a tear for me.
j
My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the Moon's pale ray
Its hold is frail its date is brief.
Restless —and soon shall pass away!
Yet ere that leaf slinll fall and fade
Tlie parent tree shall mourn it-;
, shade.
The winds bewail the leafless tree.
Hut none shall breathe a sigh f u
me!
Vfy life is like the prints, which feet
Have left on Tampra's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet, as if grieving to efface
AH vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore lond mourned the
sea,
Hut none, alas! shall mourn for me.
In sweet strains, plaintive and
tpuclied with tiie melody of bygone
experiences another Alabama poetess
sings us in tuneful lays. Howard Wee
den. a name not as familiar to us as
some others, yet one who added much
to the pathos and humor as well as
laughter of the world. She was the
daughter of William Weeden, of Vir
ginia, and Jane Wright,, a Georgian,
and becomes acquainted with this
world at Huntsville, Ala., in the year
1847. It is a joy and pleasure to read
iml absorb her poem, “When Manners
Were in Bloom"
“You say you would print my man
ners. too.
Along with my head, if you could:
Well, you should have lived in the
olden times
When manners were really good.
“De days was sweet, an’ warm, an’
lellg.
Wi<l plenty of time to be kind.
An’ every one smiled, an’ bowed an’
scraped
An’ every one did it fine.
“I seem to smell the locust flower
Heavy after rain;
An’ de ghostly scent, of numosa
blooms
Comes blowing back again.
“Ah’ when I feel de fine old manner
ly times
Mix wid de scents till I seem
To see old Master as natchel as life—
Bow in a kin’ of dream.
“His manners was certainly quality,
boys,
lie finest dat, I ever see;
Hough folks used to laugh an’ say
dat he took
Hen gilt-edge ways from me.”
Not to know Weeden and Wilde is
to admit ones unfamiliarity with the
really great ones of the past, and to
know them is like a benediction always

Winder win all up und down the line?
Winder Is far behind Monroe and
Jefferson, and towns of similar size
in the matter of paved streets. If our
citizens could get together, we could
have at least half as many paved side
walks as Jefferson or Commerce.
