THE OCMULGEE. ” NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD. If we knew the cares and trials, Knew the efforts all in vain, And the bitter disappointments, Understood the loss and gain— Would the grim eternal roughness Seem —I wonder —just the same? Should we help where now we hinder? Should we pity where we blame? Ah! we judge each other harshly Knowing not life’s hidden force, Knowing not the fount of action Is less turbid at its source, Seeing not among the evil All the golden grains of good; And we’d love each other better If we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by motives That surrounds each other’s lives, Often we should find it better, Purer than we judge we should, We would love each other better If we only understood. Could w T e judge all deeds by motives, See the good and bad within, Often we should love the sinner All the while we loathe the sin. Could we know the powers of working To o’erthrow integrity, We should judge each others efforts With more patient charity. —Exchange. Club Entertained. Mrs. J. D.

Mrs. Foster Compiles Reader; Proceeds to Go to Education. Mrs. S. W. Foster, regent of the Georgia Division of Daugh ters of the American Revolution, has compiled and has published a valuable book which she calls a “Revolutionary Reader,” con taining as it does, reminiscences and Indian legends which have been handed down since revolu tionary days, and which in many instances, have not been pub lished. Mrs. Foster has dedicated the book to the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the proceeds of the sale will go to the educational fund which the Georgia Danghters devote each year to educating Georgia boys and girls. Lucien Lamar Knight, Geor gia’s biographer, and Professor Joseph T. Derry, the noted Geor gia historian, have endorsed Mrs. Poster’s book, to the publication of which she has given much time and labor. Many of the stories she has heard, and her self committed them to litera ture. Others are drawn from papers that have been read at various times before the chapters of thestateintheir programs of en tertainment and others have been contributed by leading members of the Georgia organization to the press. Of the latter a nota ble contribution is that entitled “Old Williamsburg,” written by the late distinguished and be loved Mrs. Emilee Hendree Park, of Atlanta, and published in The Atlanta Constitution. A brief and interesting biog raphy in the book is that of James Jackson, the great-great grandfather of the wife of Geor gia’s present governor. There are pictures illustrating old revolutionary landmarks, and a map of Georgia, the latter drawn by Miss Ruby Ray and i designating the different places lin Georgia where revolutionary events tootf place. The Indian legends are espec ially charming, affording the romantic touch to the book which makes for accuracy in the narra tion of historic events, and is destined to become one of the most popular of its kind yet at temnted by a Georgia man or woman. Mrs. Foster, as a regent of the state division, will act as finan cial agent for the book, thus sav ing the 60 per cent which would be charged by local booksellers in handling it. The price is $2, and Mrs. Foster’s address is 711 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Ga. PERSONAL Miss Nelle Hendrick has re turned to Weslevan. Judge J. H. Ham spent Friday in Atlanta on business. Capt. R.
