A little dreaming by the way, A little toiling day by day; A little pain, a little strife, A little joy—and that is life. A little short-lived summer’s morn, When joy seems all so newly born, When one day’s sky is blue above, When one bird sings—and that is love. A little sickening of the years, The tribute of a few hot tears, Two folded hands, the failing breath, And peace at last—and that is death. Just dreaming, loving, dying so, The actors in the drama go— A fitting picture on a wall, Love, Death the theme; but is that all? —Dunbar. EN PASSANT Inasmuch as the Easter season is typical of new life it seems es pecially appropriate that we should “take off the old and put on the new” and that the whole world should be wreathed in the gorgeouslybeautifulflowerswhieh bloom so profusely at this time of the year. To the feminine portion of the universe this sea son usually presents a vision of hats and dresses and some puz zled brains require weeks and weeks in which to resume their normal state. In all the churches next Sunday there will be special musical programs and the masses of lovely flowers used will, in their beauty, impress more deep ly upon us the significance of the day. An Easter Party. Little Miss Naidene Leach gave a large and beautiful Easter par ty this afternoon at her home on Second street An egg-hunt on the lawn entertained the merry crowd for a short while and then numerous games were enjoyed. In the pretty dining room ail the decorations were |suggestive of the Easter season, the lovely ta ble having for its centerpiece a j mound of green through which j tiny eggs and chicks cou;d be seen. Around the mound was placed thirteen candles, it. beiny the hostess’ thirteenth birthd 'y From the chandelier to the tabic wire strung streamers of iaven der ribbon caught with bunches of violets and these fragrant flow ers were banked on the mu;,.el and cabinets. Cream and cake was daintily served. Easter mb bits tied with lavender ribbons were given each guest. Mrs. Leach was assisted in entertain ing the young people by her sis ter, Mrs. Malaer, and Misses Fan nie Myrtice Biles and Annie B. Hammond. A large number of friends enjoyed the afternoon with the gracious little hostess. Tuesday Afternoon Club. The Tuesday Afternoon Club met this week with Mrs. E. P. Newton at her pretty home cn West avenue. On account of the absence from town of several members the club has not ueld a meeting in some time. To vary the usual order each member brought some pretty article and they were all placed on a table and a selection made, each one getting something of someone s else handiwork. It was an ex ceedingly enjoyable meeting. Grapefruit cocktails, marguei - ittes and cherry ice were served. sAmong thosepresent were Mis- BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS, JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1910.

The throat of every person is constructed after the same plan. The different organs of speech that make up the “talk box” are the same for one and all, yet some people seem to find it a physical impossibility to utter the simple little words, “thank yot}.” Those words go a long way to ward smoothing the path for both yourself and for others. The man who can learn to say “Thank you” finds it easy to say, “If you please.” These two expressions pull up many a stump and remove many a sting. It is better to scatter roses than to fling bricks. Practice saying “Thank you” before the mirror today. You will be surprised at how much better you look, and if you keep up the practice you will never be accused of the blackest trait in the category of minor vice, in gratitude.—Ex. Memorial Day Programme. One of the interesting features of Memorial Day will be a parade by the Jackson Rifles. On that occasion the soldier boys will be attired in white duck trousers and blue blouses and will present a handsome appearance. Judge Daniel will deliver the address and the day promises to be a no table one. Denham-Lee.
