She’s just as fond of loving. And she’s just as pure and strong, As tte day you sent her roses And you sang to her your song. You forget her, that’s the trouble, You forget her all the time; All the little things she longs for. All the music and the rhyme; You’re so busy and centered In your tumult and your strife— And she’s just as sfeet as ever, Still your comrade and your wife. Oh, you’ve made a lot of money, And the garish light of things Has a luring for your passion Like the song the siren sings; And you take a fling at something, And you really don't care what— And she’s just as sweet as ever, That dear wife that you’ve forgot. Just as tender, just as lovely. Just as lonely, too, for you; Just as eager for your coming As she was when you were true; Just as gentle and as yielding, But you don’t think so, because It is she that has been perfect, It is you that’s broken laws. She's just as sweet as ever. Don't you doubt it; don’t you dare. Just go home to her this evening, Just to let her see you care; Ah, you’ll find her whole soul waking, Waking once again to cling ’Round your heart with eager loving— Like a sweetheart of the spring! —The Bentztown Bard. * * * MARRIAGE OF MISS UUBDEN AND MR.

FORMS DIXIE HIGHWAY ICRICULTURIL CLUB SANDERSVILLE, Ga., Aug. 12.—The Chamber of Commerce has begun the organization of the Dixie Highway Agricultural Club of Washington coun ty, the members to be composed of those men owning farms along the Dixie highway in this county. The work of the club will be the in tensive cultivation of the two-acre frontage along each side of the Dixie highway throughout the county. The two acres are to be scientifically cultivated at whatever expense is nec essary to give the best of agricultural results. In reality, these "intensive” acres would be a series of little ex perimental farms stressing diversifica tion of crops, the raising of alfalfa and food stuffs for catle, the cultivation of burr and crimson clover and other winter cover crops, the planting of velvet beans and hay peas and those crops that advanced farmers in Geor gia are predicting will be “the future” of the state. Secretary Shipp, of the Sandersville Chamber of Commerce stated today that a move is now on foot to establish a Dixie Highway Agricultural Club of Georgia, and that this would natur ally result in the organization of a Dixie Highway Agricultural Club of Dixie. Should this be done, tourists from other parts of the country traveling over the Dixie highway will get a ten fold better impression of the South than at present, from an agricultural standpoint. This is a matter that the agricultural clubs and trade bodies of the state might do well to take up. ATLANTA MILLING GO.

RULES COMMITTEE IS DEATH TO CAPITAL RILL ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 12 —The Capi tol removal bill has been taken off the bouse calendar by the rules commit tee, and did not come up at the morn ing session.

SOCIALIST LABOR UNIONS DROP IN SOME BERLIN, Aug. 12. —The membership o' the Socialist labor unions of Berlin has been reduced more than half as a result of the war. On January 1, 1914, there were 301,986 members, and the number had fallen to 144,259 on Jan uary 1, 1916, a decline of fifty-two per cent. For the six months since elapsed Agues are not available, but it is prob able that further calls to the colors have left not more than 40 per cent of the members at home. The membership totals given include however a large number of female members, so that the decrease of men members was considerably greater than the percentage indicate. The number of unemployed has de clined steadily. Money suport had been granted on January 1, 1915, to 15,334 but this total had dropped on January 1, 1916 to 2,457. The geratest decreases in unemployed were in the case of book printers, woodworkers, and metalmakers. The influence of the war on the unions’ treasury is shown by the fact that, while there was a decrease ot nearly five and a quarter million marks in receipts, the treasury bal ance increased some 330,000 marks in 1915 over 1914. This was of course, due to the reduced calls made on the treasury. PROF. MAYES IS ELECTED TO THE ENGLISH CHAIR Professor John W. Mayes, of Black wood, Va., has been elected to the chair of English in the Americus High school, according to Superintendent J. E Mathis. Mr. Mayes succeeds Prof. Charles G.
