HATS. Carmichael Cos
Some time since we called atten
tion to the beauty of a tree in Jaek
son, which has caused those who
say they have seen a more perfect
tree, to talk of it,
Mr. W. B. Collins says there is a
white oak standing on the line be
tween the farms of Mr. John I Col
lins and the old place formeily
owned by Mr. John Carmichael
whose sym melryar.d perfect propor
tion is unexcelled in the world.
Nature has exhausted her concep
lion of perfection on that tree. It
has never been touched by the prun
ing knife but its beauty even at
tracts the hunter who passes near,
and he always rests beneath its
dense foliage.
SNAKE BITTEN.
Mrs. K. W. Aiken, who lives near
Elgin, w r as badly bitten by a high land
meccasin on Wednesday. She had
gone into the garden and was gather
ing some Irish potatoes when the ven
omous reptile planted his deadly fangs
into the bick of he r right hand. The
bite was exceeding)v painful but Dr
Wright was called who applied rein
edies that eased her after several hours
of torture. As we go to press she is
suffering much pain but the chances
are good for her recovery.
THE TEACHERS’ INS TITUTE.
The Institute met on Sa'urday,
The commissioner presided :A splen
did paper on orthography was read
by Miss Elia Pound. Some of the
teachers seem to think that they can
absent themselves with impunity, be
cause of the lameness of ihe law in
imposing fines upon absentees. We
think how’ever that teachers should
attend, w hen not providentially pre
vented, as a matter of respect
to tnose in charge of the
school interest of the state, even
though they feel that they are per
fect and finished, and cannot learn
any more, By reason of this apa
thy several had to be substituted
and spoke without preparation, but
they handled their subjects well.
Among those speaking were Profs.
Cornwell and Thompson. Prof
Maddox made a good talk on
science and practice, and Miss Rosa
Thornton did exceptionally well on
Geography. The teachers are unan
imously opposed to the school law
now pending before the Georgia leg
islature.
If you want a cool drink, a fine
cigar or cigarrette, or in fact any

THE BABIES.
Their Beauties Pictured For Our
Many Readers.
O, what a delight to write of the littlle
ones, these fragile blossoms of the earth
rejoicing in the balmy air, happy and
beautiful faces and changeful as they are
happy with eyes brimful of joy and with
hearts mirrored upon their faces like sun
beem glinting on crystal waters, Liz’beth,
the dimpled pink and white baby girl of
Mr. John Sams is pronounced by some
partial ones as the very sweetest infant
they ever knew, Liz'beth is a well spring
of pleasuie, a dimpled darling who ssems
10 be a link between whisparing angels
and the friends on earth. Like the petals
of a rose leaf soft in her complexions, two
blue tenderly veiled star light eyes, two
restless dimpled fluttering waxen hands, in
her long robes of dainty laces and pure
ribbons. Liz’ebeth is truely the perfec
tions of babies.
Julia .Franklin Thornton is another wee
maiden who seems but a messenger of
peace and love, a harbor for innocence on
earth with her silken rings of sunny hair
and translucent skin. The little one seems
a pure white snow flake to remain a joy
forever.
01 ten, as I stroll down Second street
I meet that lovely child whom they
call Huson IJryans. His eys a starry
black veiled with lashes, behind which
•nc can sec a world of merriment anu
childish glee. His rosy cheeks be
speaks a glow of perfect health.
Mahoue Crawley is another bright lit
tle fellow and is the pet and pride ot
the street on which he lives, with his
infrantle prattle and joy ous laugh. He
islirile tvonder.
The two in some maidens that
attract the universal attention of the
entire town are Florence and Felicia,
the brown haired twins. They are in
every way so similar that the ques
tion is continually asked : “Which is
which?" Even their most intimate
acquaintances find it a diftereult mat
ter to distinguish them. They are
gentle sweet and loving and never
tire at the inquires plied them.
Now comes the quaintest,
sweetest and dearest ot little maidens,
Jane Slandfieid. Silver laired
grandfathers, gay and dashing young
men, joyous maidens and sedate
grandmothers all stop to have a pleas
ant word with this lovelv child. She
is as “lovely as a poet’s dream.”
In her large picturesque white hat
with silk tulle streamers knotted care
lessly at her throat, her plump roun
ded petke figure attired in a soft dain
ty mull, she embodies the perfection
of childish grace by which Titian be
came so famous.
Master Henry Byron is oui ot the
brightest, bestchildren it was ever my
lot to know. He is very diminutive
in form and has the quaintest, most
original manner of giving utterance
to the thoughts that arise within. He
is always dressed in a manner be
speaking the latest in little boy styles.
Little Miss Cliff Daughtry is oue of
the most versatile maidens 1 number
among my little friends. She is very
quick at repartee, and is very gifted
as an am iteur elocutionist. She re
minds me of a pretty, plump Ir'sque
doll thrilled and filled with life, vivac
ity a id bubbling over with hearted
merriment.
Master Robin Daughtry, the three
year old son ot Mr. and Mrs. Hampton
Daughtry, is a perfect little “chatter
box,” amusing all by his remarkably
bright and interesting sayings. He
is all joyousness, gayety and anima
tion, and sheds a glorious halo in the
home circle like a golden sunbeam.
In this galaxy of little ones comes
the peerless Matter Med Furlow.
The memory of this golden eyed in
fant will lovingly linger with me
for years to come. lid has a happy
disposition, genial and winning, that
links an enchains for him the love of
those around him. There is some
thing pleasant to meinthuslingering
in the children's fairyland. They are
each and every one dear to our hearts
They are truly the loyal guests in
Love’s own kingdom. L. L.
