♦ THE GLOBE TROTTER’S PLAINT ♦
I’ve been out West and seen the moun
tains;
I’ve seen the cowboys, too
I’ve sailed out through the Golden
Gate
Into the ocean blue.
I’ve been in many famous cities,
I've looked into Indian huts
I’ve seen them growing pineapples,
And loading cocoanuts.
I’ve seen the Sphinx andl Pyramids,
I’ve seen the desert sands;
I’ve watched the natives come and go
In many different lands.
But whea I try to describe them
With words that ring and glow,
A bored reply comes back: “I know--
I’ve seen that at the picture show!”

Growing In Interest
The voting for the queen of the
Dixie Highway celebration is now
growing quite interesting, and there
seems to be some spirited work being
done for the contestants as the cclose
race will show.
Friends of the young ladies who are
in the race for queen, are working
hard to get their contestant elected
The queen will select and appoint 10
maids to ride upon the float with her
in the parade and act as her royal
escort. The queen’s throne will be
erected on a large white float. This
will be drawn by four white horse,
with an attendant in uniform walking
at the head of each horse.
The Idle Hour Nursery, of Maco<n,

to be entirely on the initiative of the
department of justice. ,
While officials were reticent as to
the probable development of the case
against Gen. Huerta, it was indicated
that the United States would retain in
its custody for the present at least the
man whose overthrow of Madero and
Suerez and dictatorship in Mexico was
delcared by President Wilson to be
responsible for the resulting turbu

AVhen Gen. Huerta returned from

no effort to deport him, accepting his
pledge that he did not intend to violate
the laws of neutrality.

bold miles posts in the travelers’
guides and wanders to Gradista and
through the neighboring historic, but
now decaying, cities at the head of the
Adriatic. There are many stirring as
sociations in this country where the
Italians, the Slavs and the Germans
have met in the friction of borderland
strife and diplomacy through cen
turies. There are no cities of first
importance throughout this entire reg

“Gradisca lies 10 miles southwest of
Goerz, or as the news dispatches are
carrying the name, Goritz. It is a
dwindling village of 4,000 inhabitants.
It is a strongly fortified point, guard
ing the right bank o fthe Isonzo and
the railway line. Almost the entire
population is Italian, or with a strong
intermixture of Latin blood. In 1420,
it came under the power of Venice. In
1647, Gradisca and surrounding terri
tory was made into a separate count
ship in the favor of a noble German
family, and, upon the extinction of
this line in 1717, it passed to Austria.
The only commercial importance of
Gradisca is that of its silk spinning."
