WILL LOCATE IN GEORGIA. Augusta, Ga,, March 10. —More like a story from the pages of fiction is an account of the return to Augusta of Hinton Graves Lee who left here wheu a boy not yet in his “teens”. Coming hack after long years of cosmopolitan life, to visit the grave of his father, he becamo impressed with the city’s climate, of the warm re ception by friends of his family, and of Augusta’s business advan tages. He has decided to locate the general oflices of all his gn at system of manufacturing indus tries, which are capitalized at $15,000,000 in this city. He has opened negotiations for the pur chase of a block of property, in the heart of the city, whereon still stunds the house m which he was born. Lee is connected with some of the most prominent families in the state. His wife, who with her son is now in Atlanta, is a re lative of General Evans. He is a cousin of John Temple Graves and connected with the Eve ftmily of Augusta. Kemp’s School. H(x<'Ul Corroponiloncs. (Intended for lent week.) Not seeing any news from this vicinity in your interesting paper —your correspondent will now venture to let this community lie heard from, trusting to escape the “waste basket." Our farmers, who have, not long since, had so much trouble with tires while burning oil' the land, have now completed fence repair ing, and are busy preparing land for corn and cotton planting, hauling gunno, gardening and etc. The patrons of our school have been doing some much needed re pairing in the school-room, which udds much to the appearance, comfort and convenience of pu ypils and teacher. The pupils of Kemp school ob served Washington’s birthday, as “Arber Day," and quite a nico selection of trees were planted tor ornament and shade. The pupils are now preparing to protect the treos from cows and goats, by staking and fencing around the trees. We are glad to add Mr. John Ma rtin to our number of school j trustees, as few can show ns much interest and encouragement to the school and ns much interest in the education of children, ns he does. If our good people would only make up to the necessity of the mental and moral welfare of their children, how much ignor unce and vice would ho eliminat ed, and how much better and pur er they could make the environ ment and social life of the com munity. For it is a well, known fact that ignorance is a great cause of immorality, misery and non-progress among so many poor souls who deserve a betrer fate. Some of our progressive citizens j are preparing to extend a tele- j phone line from Tarrytownto Ml. ■ Vernon via. the public road which j passes this place. They expect to have it completed in a few weeks. j Mr. Gordon frost is seen fro quently on Sundays, going toward Mr. H. Hraddy’s. Mr. Tola Braddy is a frequeut visitor in the vicinity of Kemp school. One of the fairest pupils seems to be the attraction. Mr. Bob Kemp is seen very of ten g‘>ing to Tarry town, where there are tunny attractions for, him. Our popular mail-carrier, Mr Adams, seems to Ire quite “up-to date’' in his new mail-wagou, which, being white, cau be seen for quite a distance. The Kemp School is planning for an “vaster egg hunt.’’ Some of our youug folks were considerably disappointed on ac count. of the coutiuued rain last Sunday.

A THANK OFFERING Betty has n weakness for dress lug ) Hie part, and when I found her last ( Tuesday afternoon arrayed In a blue, floppy, artistic garment and an air of pensiveness 1 shuddered. I was al , most sure tint she had offended the cook. She finds it rather hard to he • projs-rly respectful toward that po tentate. But to u took who has tal ent and in the matter of savories pos , itivo genius much may he forgiven. Savories are not to lie despised, 1 [ sighed. “Oh. such a luncheon!” she moaned , by »h}' of greeting. It was the cook. “When’s she going?” I asked gloom ■ lly. “It's a funny thing”— “Not that sort of luncheon, you stu pid old hoy. Cook's not. leaving." 1 “Oh, well." 1 said In n relieved tone, • "If you will play tricks with your dl , gestlon”— She stopped, with an indignant glance. > "Dh-k Ferris lunched with me,” she remarked. “Dick Ferris!” I whistled. “Do not make that foolish noise,” with great dignity. “Yes, with Dick Ferris. What of It?” “My dear”— I began confusedly. “Don’t call me ‘my dear.’ I do not live in the suburbs. I had quite I enough of that at luncheon time.” “You don't mean to tell me, madam, Ihat Ferris called you ‘my dear!’” “Os course not. It would not have been lm!f so bad If he had. He talked to me as If 1 were fifty—arid plain.” "Why, 1 thought he used to—to”— “What?” And she regarded me a trille more hopefully. “Well, long ago”— “No, not so very long ago,” she mur , mured. “Eons ago,” I persisted. “lie—well, he was one of the—the—followers." “I’m not cook.” she laughed. "But It Is true. Ho did—follow, and he has been supposed to he breaking Ills heart In some outlandish place.” “Ah, I r derstand," I said brilliant ly. “Ills heart Is whole again, and you don’t”— Again I was withered by a look. “Am I that kind of person?” she de manded wrathfully. “Don’t I always try to marry off the friends of my un attached days?” "Well, perhaps.” But she doesn't really like them to get married, and If she does help on the process I notice that tlie girls nre never wildly enthu siastic over her. “No; it wasn't that at all. You nre altogether wrong.” “Certaintly,” I ewneeded politely. “I never thought It was that. But what was tt, then?" “He has changed so abominably,” she said vigorously. “He Ims become so conventional, so narrow, so—so rub urbun, very different from the Dick I-I ”- “You—er?” I Interrogated. “You know.” I did. I knew more than she would have believed possible. “May 1 have some tea?” I asked meekly. I got It and surveyed Betty for a few seconds. She looked more than pretty, and as for Dick—bah, a thousand Dicks would not matter! “So you find disillusionment pursu ing your youthful steps?” I Inquired, with Interest. “it's all very well for you to sneer,” she said. “You have no sentiment lu your nature. Now, don't say it's your misfortune—not your fault. You say that about everything, from dropping a stud to losing $5,000.” “1 wasn’t going to say it.” 1 protest ed. “lleally, you are treating me very badly.” “I’oor old boy! But the remem brance of that idiot ruffles tue.” “That Idiot!” 1 said. “Which idiot?” “Dick, of course. If you will be so Stupid”— "But you were talking of sentiment. What has that to do with stupidity?” ”A great deal. Sometimes 1 was stu pid, long ago, when 1 believed that Dick and 1 was certainly sentiuieutal this afternoon.” with a half guilty, wholly fascinating look at me—“and, I will tell you, I was making a thank offering." “A thank offering?” 1 repeated, gen uinely puzzled. “But why should you? It Isn’t Lent or anything. Is It?” “When deuseuess reaches a certain point,” said my companion oracularly, "It should be a capital offense." “What have 1 done now?” I ex claimed despairingly. "Who mentioned you? I was speak ing generally—ordinary people; men, you know.” "That's not the point. I want to ; know about the thank offering.” “Oh. well,” she began guiltily. ! At that moment Parker entered the ■ room. 1 cau never rid myself of a j dreadful suspicion that 1 do not meet with Parker's approval. She glanced 1 coldly ut me nnd said: "A parcel for you. ma’am.” “Open it, Parker,” said her mistress, looking amused and slightly mlschle ! vous. And Parker, the Irreproachable, un did layer after layer of paper, finally > bringing to light an elaborately chased silver cigar box. "You extravagant person!” 1 said. | "What Is It?” She laughed. ”The thank offerlug." “But what is it. really?” i “Dick's wedding present—stupid!" said my wife.—Black and White. Always Ready. ; I ”1 shall sue you for breach of prom ise.” j "All right" ; i "You don't think 1 mean It?” “1 don't know, but if It Is of any In- I I terest to you I hire my lawyer by the ! fear.” * % | THE.STORE 1 J | \ WHERE YOU ALWAYS GET » * * * * j BEST QUALITY f | FULL WEIGHTS I j CORRECT STYLES I " 4t | RELIABLE GOOOS f f LOWEST PRICES I * £ * t * w J £ * What More Can a Body Ask? !

Each week the departments of Farm and Farmers, Woman’s Kingdom, Great Agricultural South, Farm ers’ Union, Rural Free Delivery, Poultry and others of wide interest, edited by experts, appeal directly to those addressed. The Weekly Constitution contains all these special features and the difference between it and The Tri-Weekly is that the one is issued once a week (on Monday only) and the other three times a week—Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you want the Constitution alone, without any clubbing offers, you can get the Tri-Weekly Constitution at $1 per year, or The Weekly at 50c per year, by addressing The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.

The articles have all ap- U peared in Tri-Weekly Constitution under same title and made one of the greatest features of y this splendid farmers’ paper. It will he mailed to you immediately upon receipt of order. (2) The Southern Ruralist, one of the best agricultural papers in the south. It is a semi-monthly edited by a farmer on his own farm, and is intensely practical and helpful. (3) Paris Modes, a woman’s magazine, monthly. There are fashions in it, as the title Iji indicates, and they are right up to date. Do not think they are all of the sylph-like, hipless, I, clothes-pin styles of the extreme devotees of the changeable flirt called “Fashion.” They Igi are all pretty and becoming and up to date, so that the ladies may feel well-dressed and in the style who follow them. Rut you get more than mere fashions. There are stories, poems, storyettes, incidents of travel, seasonable articles for entertainments, home keeping, cookery, care of the person, sanitation and hygiene, plant culture and all the rest that go to make up a monthly feast for the busy woman who reads as she works, who relaxes from one task and finds charm in the ever-varying features of woman’s work that is said to be never done.
