Men cheered 'and wept and women laughed and cried In the fullness of joy when they comprehended all that the announcement meant. Ex-Governor W. J. Northen, who was on the plat form when the announcement was made In the conference, sprang to his feet and asked the women of Georgia in the great audience to stand up, and then, when they had done so, asked the whole audience to stand up, not as people of one state or many states, but as people of one country. The official offer Is as follows: “The general education board will subscribe to.the Georgia State Normal school at Athens for a period of three years flft£ 6cho’apships of $50 each to meet the forty-six scholarships now, provided by the women of Georgia—-’ $2,300 a year-for three years. $7,500 ia. all.

It was several minutes before thO conference was sufficiently composed to resume business. Tries Old-Fashioned Plan to An- nihilate Potato Bugs- CHILDREN ARE PAID TO GATHER THEM Nickel a Dozen is the Vrlce, and the Little Ones Surprise Him.—Col onel Redding’s Suggestion. V CUBAN PENSIONS STAUUEIUNU. Palma Will Have to lease Culm fn r Order to Pby l lieni. A special from Havana says: Gener als Rabbi;'Lor. Salcedo and Capote ’have tried to obtain from President elect. Palma an assurance that the Cu ban army would be paid. Replying, Settcjr Palma, said he was disposed to fthvor the army, but more soldiers would, he needed than Cuba now has,] He..never suspected, he said, that-'thee-list of -those to bo paid con- talnecl 70,000 names, and the estimate . pf the amount due the soldiers, $$0,- 000,000, frightened him. "The payment of this enormous sum ‘Would annihilate us,” said the presi dent. ’"I Would have-to lease Cuba to TOW and buying some Ice cream, and * h, ‘ ’’ they agreed to take two saucers apiece. These little gir'.s are great In ventions, and I love to watch them and ruminate and ponder why It was that children, especially boys, get more self ish and deceitful as they, grow older. The devil seems to let them alone until they get weaned from their mother. The good end tho had are strangely mixed In this worjd. New plagues and pestilences keep on coming, both on ; animal and vegetab'e life, but a kind r Providence has provided remedies and given us minds to find them. But I ■ hare found au way to keep the pig- I am trying Colonel Redding’s plan ;o exterminate the po^to bugs. He says begin early and iwatch for the first ones that come. M.al;e an inspec tion every morning and kill the large striped ones before they lay their eggs. My crop is about six inches high. I have six long rows in the garden and the other morning I found tho pesky things had come. I killed about thirty and then told the children—the grand children I mean—that 1 would ' pay them a nickel for every dozen bugs they found. That evening they killed sixty and the next morning forty, and this morning fifteen, and this evening ten. So the three little girls brought me in debt sixty cents and feel rich. The bargain Is that they are to pay me bad; for all I find and I have not found but five yet, though I don’t look very carefully. Children like to work for money just like grown folks. I re member well the first half dollar I ever earned. My father was clearing land and told me I might have the saplings if I would trim them up and pile the brush and I nMg]|U have the wagon and team to heut them totowh; and sell them., - I hadf^lM cjfSBluss;; after school .aiaif Satia'M^'-^ and soon hqel :T iOaU’ ready un^^Slct It to'our schooTteacher for a silver]half dollar. T was rich, and as I drove home I felt of It In my pocket every little while to be sure it was there. I liko to reward these little chapB, for It does them so much good and makes them love me. The iove of an innocent child is the purest on earth except the love of a mother. I have no greater comfort now than the glad smile of a little one that jumps into my arms whenever I come. It flatters my van ity, for though I am old and ugly the little ones will hug me and pat my wrinkled cheeks and turn away from those who are young and'handsome. The greatest Inducement for a parent) to be a Christian Is to secure the sal vation of their children and meet them In heaven, for It Is said In the scrip tures in three places, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved—thou aud thine house.” Se let the good mother not despair of her wicked son who went unrepentant to bis death and may these words always comfort her, "thou gnd thine house.” For the sake of ten good people the Lord would have saved Sodom, and for the sake of good parents He will save the children. Last year my potato crop was seri ously damaged by these bugs, and by the parts green, too, for I used too much of It, and so I am taking Colonel Redding’s advice and hilling off the big striped beetles' before they lay their patches of yellow eggs on the un der side of the leaves. I Instructed tho children to look for eggs and they found only two leaves with eggs on them. With ft little sharpened stick they dug around tho baso of ev ery plant, and there found most of the beetles, but I am already satisfied with the experiment, and hope that I will not have to use p&rls green at all. I shall continue my bargain’ with the children, even if It is expensive. I overheard them plotting this evening about going to the drug store tomor eons from preying on my young peas as they peep from the ground. They utterly destroyed my first planting and have begun on the second. We have had a flock for many yeijrs, and I never knew them to trouble the garden before. 1 say. Colonel Redding, what must I do about it? My wife says cov er them with brush, and I will If l can find the brush. The English spar rows do leave us most of the crop, but the pigeons don’t leave us anything. Reckon I will have to-turn the boys loose on them. The beans, ortions and early corn arc all right yet, and the strawberries seem to have no enemies. They make a beautiful show, and give us great comfort. In a week or two we will have ripe’ fruit in abundance, and shall send some to the preachers. Brother Yar brough says he does not think it any harm to send good things to a preach er even on Sunday. Strawberry cul ture is spreading rapidly In our town and some of the neighbors are trying it as a. business for profit. Dr. Fc-lton, Jr., has put out thirty thousand plants the last Ecason. It was Isaac Walton, the great fisherman, who wrote in Ills book on angling, “Dr: Butler says that ‘doubtless God could have made a bet ter berry than the strawberry, but doubtless God never did,’ and so I say that God never made a more calm, quirt, innocent recreation than ang ling." My friends, Dr. Benham and Coloner Murphy heartily endorse Wal ton on fishing, and will sk in a boat half a day In a .cummer's sun and watch the corks- aud ruminate and not catch enough fish for supper. If 1-Wae as fond cf It as they are I think X Would - move to Florida and stay %ferc. ! have caught more fish there ih one day than i?i all piy life up here pjpMRvr.pl or, • ... ^ ^.not’go ty Thfe]long spell of grippe left’ ~ mffd.o ffftafiTfflletf’ to travel that far and give up my home habits and comforts, but I read all about the great reunion with keen sat isfaction.

A solemn memorial service by those who still live for their comrades who fell In the cause of the Confederacy was held at Wednesday’s meeting of the United Confederate Veterans at Dallas, Texas. The service was not only In honor of the soldiers who gave their lives for the Confederacy, but of the late Miss Winnie Davis, the “Daughter of - the Confederacy." At noon all business was stopped short, and the great audltorluifi hush ed. Chaplain General William Jones arose and prayed while the old veter ans sat with bared heads. The ven erable chaplain thanked the Almighty for the leader that had been given the Confederacy; he gave thanks for “the noble women uf our southland who were, ministering angels in the dark daysNof war” and for the comrades who had died gloriously. “Varlna Anne Davis,” more favora bly known as Winnie, the “Daughter of the Confederacy,” the crowned queen of our affection—was my per sonal friend whom I so admired, non- oi ed and loved.” the chaplain said, "that It Is really difficult for me to speak of her except In terms that might to others seem extravagant.” In glowing words the speaker refer red" to Jefferson Davis, “who adorned every subject that he touched;” to Al bert Sydney Johnston, who "fell In the hour of victory at Shiloh;’ to Rob ert E. fA “the peerless soldier and stanch gentleman;” to Beauregard, Kirby Smith, “the heroically daring” Hood, “Stonewall” Jackson “the tc.underholt of war.” The charlain ascribed virtues which bad well earned the affection and re spect of all men. Ho paid a glowing tribute to J. E. B. Stuart, Nathan Bed ford Forrest, the “wizard of the sad- 'die” Sterling Price,, “whom his men affectionately called ‘Old Pap,’" to Dick Taylor and Wade Hamptou, “whose recent death has carried grit? to many homes and many hearts.” ■*-+++++++++*+++-b*++++++++-t*| !Cream of News.} ■Brief Summary of Most Important Events of Each Day. —Governor Benjamin B.
