Lo! thou hast lived thy life out; thou art old; Thou hast gathered fruit from many a green-leaved tree, And kissed love’s lips by many a sum mer sea, And twined thy soft hands in locks of shining gold, But all the days are dead days now, behold; Life passes onward—what is life to thee?" Then wilt I answer, as thy gracious eyes, Low, gleam upon me from dim, far off skies; “Life and its endless, deathless charm —and still That charm weaves rapture round me at my will, Life has its glory—for I have seen Thee; And roses and June sunsets —and the sea." —George Barlow. * * « KATHIS-KIMMEL.

Members of the Americus and Sum ter County Hospital Association held an important meeting at the home of Mrs. C. C. Hawkins yesterday after noon. The meeting was for the purpose of reporting on the matter of the recent Redpath Chautauqua, and other mat ters of interest to the association.

Further they think that the people of Americus should give them a strong and active support, especially in a financial way. That these Chautauqua attractions are worth much to the city, is without question, hence the reason why the ladies feel as they do over the matter. As an appreciation of the coopera tion given them on the part of this paper the ladies submit the following. “The ladies of the Hospital Associa tion wish to express heartest appreci ation for the magnificent co-operation given them by the two daily papers of this city before and during the week of Chautauqua, Hundreds of people were reached during the splendid med ium of the papers, and the editors were untiring in their efforts to aid the Hospital Association in making the Chautauqua of 1916 a great success.’ ♦ * * DANCE GIVEN BY BOYS OF AMERICUS.

MISS LANE HURT 111 11 WTO COLLISION A serious accident was narrowly averted Saturday when an automobile driven by John Walker Chappell, of Croxton, ran into a car driven by Miss Mary Hawkes, of this city. The accident occured at the intersection of Windsor avenue and Lamar street, near the post office. The car, a heavy Max well, driven by young Mr. Chappell was atempting to turn into Windsor avenue, when it smashed into the Studebaker driven by Miss Hawkes, whose car contained several young girls, pupils of Miss Hawkes’ music | school. The young ladies were part of the class on their way to Myrtle Springs for a picnic. Miss Mary Frances Lane, the young daughter of Col. and Mrs. W. T. Lane, was the only one injured. Miss Lane was seated on the fender of the ma chine driven by Miss Hawkes, and her right foot was considerably bruised. After the accident the picknickers went on to Myrtle to spend the day. Mr. Chappell and by-standers say the brakes of the Maxwel car refused to re spond, the wreck being the result. Neither car was hurt beyond re pair, the Croxton car suffered a bent right fender, and Miss Hawkes’ car escaped, save for a blow’-out, which was immediately repaired. F. I.

BfIOAO WORK DONE • WITH FOUNDATION ATLANTA, Ga., June 3. —Excellent proof of the growing importance and broadening scope of the work done by the W. G. Raoul Foundation is shown in the report for the month of May j'.'st presented to the board of trustees of the organization, by Executive Sec retary Jas P. Faulkner. The public has had the idea to a great extent, that the work of the Foundation is confined strictly to the cure and prevention of tuberculosis, but tills is not the case, as is made clear in the report. One of the chief aims of the Foundaton is to provide a clearing house of Information oa health subjects, including every pos sible phase upon which questions n ight be asked. A great many of tlie inquiries, the report states, come from country homes, information being sought as to methods of exterminating flies, sew erage disposal, plans for running wa ter in the home; literature of Social Hygiene, and on the evils of the ci garette habit, and even questions con cerning organized play in schools ofr the physical development of the chil dren. All of these questions are care fully answered by the Foundation, and circulars and literature sent where requested. Another phase of the work in a new direction, the report shows, is a special campaign against tuberculosis in childhood. Lectures are being given by the ex ecutive secretary in all parts of tlie state before Institutes, Women's Clubs, Chautauqua gatherings, on various health subjects, thereby stimulating community interests and creating a demad for the information that the office seeks to give. The great work of the Raoul Foundation is made possible through the splendid gift of captain W. C. Raoul, the interest only being used, supplemented by the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals.
