AT CLOSE OF DAY.
At the close of day when restful
shadows fall
And nature’s chords are all in tone,
When faint and far you hear the
woodbird’s call,
And toil and care into the past have
flown,
Then bitterness and strife should flee
away,
And peace and quiet reign at close
of day.
At close of day, when all the hills are
gold
And moulten glory wraps the slum
brous sea.
When in the west the great cloud
wreathes unrolled
Ajar the mystic portal seems to be,
Then Memory’s fingers o’er the heart
strings stray,
And wake responsive chords at close
of day.
At the close of day. Ah, at the close
of day!
Kind nature seems to hold you to
her breast
And crooning softly, o’er and o'er to
say:
“Peace, weary heart, this is the time
for rest.
Forget life’s cares and on my bosom
lay
All your grievances, at close of
day.’’
—Alice D. O. Greenwood.

FATHER REUNITED
TO ONLY DAUGHTER
LOST FOR 21 YEARS
NEW YORK, Feb. 4. —A father and
only daughter, who had 1 been separated
for twenty-one years, and who each be
lieved the other was dead, were reunit
ed today in Union Hill, N. J. .The father
is Charles Wyckoff, a well-to-do Ne
vada gold and copper mine owner, and
the daughter of Mrs. Florence Gunther,
wife of Carl E. Gunther, and mother of
two small children.
In 1895 Wyckoff’s wife died and be
ing down on his luck, he struck out
for the West, leaving his 20-months-old
daughter in care of her grandmother,
Mrs. Dora Dehn, of Union Hill. He
prospered beyond his expectations and
in 1904 he sent his private secretary
east with directions to locate his I
daughter. The secretary reported
back that the girl and her grand
mother were dead.
Three weeks ago Wyckoff arrived in
New York, and on the streets he was
recognized by an old friend from Un
ion Hill, who told him where Mrs.
Howard Cunningham, a relative, was
living. Wyckoff looked up Mrs. Cun
ningham and learned from her that his
daughter was living at Union Hill.
Mr. A. S. O’Hearne, of Memphis, was
the guest of his cousin, Mr. J. M. Tobin
for a day.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
Mil GODD FOB
MOST —ANYTHING
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 4.—Although
less than six months have passed
since the first unclothed damsel made
her appearance on the screen before an
Atlanta audience, the nude and near
nude in high-class picture houses and
theatres as become an accepted com
monplace.
Perhaps the reason the innovation
has been accepted is that in every in
stance the nude has been introduced
amid dignified and artistically proper
surroundings, and that the morale of
the entertainments in which these mod
ern Eves hav.e appeared has been clean,
that is provided, of course, you don’t
see anything immoral in the nude,
per se.
The first time an Atlanta mixed aud
ience probably ever gazed on a living
and moving representation of the hu
man form divine, unclothed, was prob
ably in “Hypocrites.” Since then there
have been two or three gorgeous films
in which the nude figure of a woman
has been introduced, and there will be
another one here this week in which
a prominent screen actress will be
seen disporting herself in a sylvan
glade like the nymphs of old.
And while the absolute nude has not
yet appeared on the speaking stage, va
rious entertainments have come about
as close to it as you could get. A
leading vaudeville house announces
for next week the appearance of six
twentieth century Undines in an elab
orate water spectacle, garbed only in
thin silk bathing trunks that end a
long way above the knees and leave
nothing to the imagination. During
the carnival, the most popular and
cue of the cleanest shows on the mid
way was a diving exhibition in which
several women, in broad daylight with
the sun shining, dived and posed on
spring boards in silken tights that
fit like the paper on the wall.
Paul Swan in a leopard skin that
merely draped on shoulder and left
him naked from the waist up was a
spectacle that offended nobody, nor
was any surprise occasioned by the
fact that a number of Atlanta society
girls appeared in the classic Greek
dances barefooted and barelegged with
skirts that came sometimes below their
kneeg and sometimes above.
It all sems to be accepted just as
frankly and simply as people accept
the statuary in an art gallery.
Spare! Oh, Spare Us!
The peddler who sold painted spar
rows for canaries in Hastings proves
that the old Yankee inventiveness is
in no danger of dying out. —New York

and whose object is helpful and broth
erly co-operation for more and better
Sunday schools, months ago agreed on
February 13th as “Georgia GO--To-Sun
day-School-Day"’. The indication is
•for a record breaking attendance in
the Sunday schools of all denomina
tions throughout the state.
The information comes that more
t ian one thousand Sunday schools
hsve already indicated their willing
ness to use the program which is be
ing furnished free by the Georgia
Sunday School association, 1519 Hurt
Bldg., Atlanta.
The governor of the state has is
sued the following proclamation:
To The People of Georgia;
Whereas, The supreme need of our
state today is the spread of a true
intelligence among its citizens which
shall direct the forces that make for
character; and,
Whereas, One of the noblest means
of disseminating this intelligence and
building up a character in keeping
with the teachings of a true Chris
tianity is the Sunday school; and,
Whereas, The first State-wide
“Georgia-Go-To-Sunday-School” Day
was observed with marked success on
February 14, 1916, at which time the
Sunday school attendance was great
ly increased; and,
Whereas, In the effort to increase
Bible study and produce Christian cit
izenship, the Georgia Sunday Schoo!
Association has appointed February 13,
1916, as a “Georgia-Go-To-Sunday-
School Day”, and,
Whereas, The Sunday schools of all
denominations will observe this day
with appropriate exercises and are is
suing invitations to all our citizens to
attend Sunday school; and,
Whereas, It is desirous that all those
who feel an interest in the welfare of
the state should work in harmony to
produce the best results in citizenship,
Therefore, I, Nat E. Harris, governor
of the Commonwealth of Georgia, call
upon all Georgians ,as well as visitors
within our borders, to attend Sunday
schools in the church of their choice
on February 13, 1916, that those en
gaged in carrying on these schools
may receive due encouragement and
find the work of their hands prosper,
ing in the service of their God.
In Testimony Whereof, I have caus
ed these letters to be made patent and
the seal of the Commonwealth tot be
hereunto affixed. Done at Atlanta,
Gorgla, on this 2nd day of February,
in the year of our Lord One Thous
and, Nine Hundred, Sixteen, and of
the Independence of the United States
the One Hundred and Fortieth.

“There’ll be a hot time in the old
town tonight,” and from present indi
cations it will be the hottest kind of a
hot time. For when Americus and
Albany meet for any kind of a contest
it’s a safe proposition to bank your
bottom simeLeon on fur flying. That is
precisely what will happen in the gym
nasium at the local Y. M. C. A. to
night when the juniors of the two as
sociations meet for their second en
ccunter of the year.
In the first contest a tie was the only
decision possible and the teams are
still very evenly matched. But the
Americus boys are going into this
game with the determination to send

The Albany boys will be entertained
