OF INTEREST IN THE
passing of a regiment
By Margaret E Sangster
Eager, though half afraid, we stood
B along the street.
And, coming near, we heard the
tramp of many marching feet;
We heard the thrilling beat of drums,
1 the ringing sound of cheers;
And some of us looked up and smiled
and brushed away the tears!
Shopgirl and millionaire, we watched
them as they came,
And some of us were white and crush
ed, and some were all aflame
With pride for them—our soldier
boys, and some were cold with
dread;
One woman stood with lifted chin and
one with drooping head.
Mother and new-made wife together
and wistful-eyed,
One of them touched me with her
hand, and “There goes Jim!” she
cried.
From back of me there came a voice
that, sinking, tried to say:
“Quick, darling, look at daddy—quick
before he goes away!”
Sweetheart and maiden out, vae
watched the columns go;
Some souls were touched with more
than hope, some heart-beats fal
tered slow;
And “au revoir,” one of us laughed,
and “Dear, good-bye,” one sobbed,
And all a bout us like a mist, the thril
ling drum-beats sobbed.
Eager and dim of eye we stood along
the street
And watched them as they
wheeled from sight, the sound
of marching feet,
Came like an echo from afar, an echo
drenched in fears;
And some of us looked up and smiled,
***but through a vale of tears.

MRS. WATKINS HOSTESS TO
U. D. C.
Mrs. Ben F. Watkins was the gra
cious hostess to the Larkin Watson
chapter, U. D. C. at her home on
Third street, Thursday afternoon of
the past week.
Only a short program was arrang
ed for the afternoon, business mat
ters of importance being discussed.
Final arrangements for observing
Memorial Day were made, it being
the deepest and most sincere regret of
each member that the condition of
the country, calling for the patriotic
co-operation of all true Americans,
together with a request from the vet
erans of Camp Barnett, make it a
duty to omit the dinner served the
' eterans and wives in former years.
An interesting program with in
spir-ng music is planned, Dr. Rob
ert \anDeventer and Rev. S. R. En
?lund having consented to conduct
the exercises. A call for 5,000 pil
lows for the soldiers and hospitals in
France having been made to the
of the Confederacy in
Gorgia, this chapter took steps to
furnish her share or even more with
in the coming month. A report of
THP nmn
SOCIAL REALM
funds sent to the John B. Gordon
and the Alexander Stephens Beds in
the American Hospital in France in
spired the chapter to renewed efforts
for their War Relief Work.
Mrs. W. E. Merck’s song, “Keep
the Home Fires Burning,” was a most
delightful feature of the afternoon,
a short social hour being enjoyed.
The living room where the guests
were entertained, was bright and at
tractive with vases and baskets of
red and white roses, carrying out the
chapter colors with pretty effect.
The May meeting will be held with
Mrs. R. N. Etheridge.
FOSTER-LEVERETTE
The marriage of Miss Maggie Gean
Foster and Mr. J. A. Leverette, which
occurred in Griffin Tuesday after
noon, came as a pleasant surprise to
their friends. The ceremony was
performed by Dr. Murray, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church.
Mrs. Leverette as Miss Foster is
very popular among a large number
of friends. She possesses many
charming traits that have vion for her
the esteem of all who know her. Mr.
Leverette is a popular young business
man of Jackson and has a wide circle
of friends. They have the cordial
good wishes of hosts of admirers.
After a short trip to Atlanta Mr.
and Mrs. Leverette will be at home to
their friends on McDonough street.
MEMORIAL DAY TO BE OBSERV
ED; DINNER .TO BE OMITTED
A request from the members of
Camp Barnett to the Larkin D. Wat
son chapter, U. D. C., asking that the
usual dinner served on Memorial
Day be omitted this year will be re
garded, but the exercises in memory
of our soldiers of the Sixties will be
held at the school auditorium at 11
o’clock the 26th.
At ten o’clock the veterans are ask
ed to be at the court house for the
ride to the cemetery where the school
children will decorate the graves of
our beloved heroes.
That dinner will not be served is a
source of great disappointment to
the ladies, but the request from Camp
Barnett with a patriotic appeal for the
boys now at the front inspired the
chapter to add in every possible way
to the comfort of the boys in France.

OUR NEW MEMBERS
There were eighteen members add
ed to the church during the meetings.
Every year the church widens and
depens her influence in the town.
This year two husbands and their
wives and another wife and another
husband joined the church besides
many boys and girls from our church
homes. The pastor baptized fourteen
last Wednesday night. We begin now
to sow, pray and work for another
harvest.
Our beloved Brother Jolly left us
to go to a Better Land last Saturday.
We feel that we had no member in the
church who would have departed with
greater delight. We shall miss him in
the church on earth. He was in touch
with every part and in sympathy with
it all. The Pastor will miss his kindly
face and interest in the Bible Class,
and in the Sanctuary. The church
and community are poorer with his
going, but it is good for our church
to send such a soul to the Church
above.

Cincinnati Man Discovers
Drug That Loosens Corns
So They Lift Out
Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispen
sing freezone, the recent discovery of
a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
the fingers.
A quarter of an ounce costs very
little at any store which handles
i drugs, but this is said to be sufficient
!to rid one’s feet of every hard or
soft c om or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching com or toughened cal
lus and instantly the soreness is re
lieved, and soon the com or callus is
so shriveled (that it lifts out without
pain. It is a sticky substances which
dries when applied and never inflam
es or irritates the surrounding skin.
This discovery will prevent thous
ands of deaths annually from lock
jaw and infection heretofore result
ing from the suicidal habit of cutting
corns.
