FLOVILLA.
While I sit in the sunlight dream
ing
And the busy days grow still,
I think of the wide green mead
ows,
And the old house on the hill.
The roses have ceased their bloom
ing
About the doorway low,
And again my heart gives greet
ing,
To my friends of long ago.
And I sing the old songs over
And think of my friends I used
to know,
My heart forgets its sorrows
In the days of long ago.
As I think of the dear old faces,
Of the boys and girls I used to
know.
My heart grows sad with sorrow
For some are beyond the ocean,
And some are beyond the skies.
Perhaps I shall meet them in
Heaven,
All the loved ones of long ago.

CLOSING OF COTTON SCHOOL.
The University Cotton School
comes to a close today. It was
the first of its kind in the United
States, it was in a large measure
an experiment. It was not
known how far the farmers ol
the state could be interested in
the work of the school. An at
tendance of twenty-five would
not have been disappointing to
•
the management of the school.
The Cotton School is no longer
an experiment. It is a demon
strated success in the broadest
sense of the word. The farmers
have been interested. The at
dance has been beyond one hun
dred. The students came from
every section of the'state, fifty
one counties having been repre
sented in the school. The farm
ers who came were a set of men
who evidenced their interest in
the subjects under discussion.
The treatment accorded the
farmers in attendance upon this
school was most hearty and most
pleasing in every way. The
faculty and the students of
University spared no trouble in
making them feel absolutely at
home. The old idea that the
University faculty and students
would hold aloof from the farm
ers was knocked into a cocked
hat. And the farmers attending
the cotton school saw in a few
days that the wrong impression
had been abroad concerning the
University.
The course of study was mag
nificent and the farmers were
well pleased with all the work of
the "school. They return today
to their homes feeling that they
have been richly repaid for their
visit to the University.
President Soule and his assis
tants are to be congratulated
most heartily upon the success of
the Cotton School. It mean?
much to Georgia and much to the
University.—Athens Banner.
