GROWING THINGS. The other day we noticed our friend and neighbor, Mr. Charley Bankston, setting out shade trees about his beautiful little home. He was not doing much work, he was just putting out the trees. Little Miss Sarah was doing the work. You who saw the operation may question this statement, until you reflect. Home building and home beautifying is largely a matter of inspiration. The thought of it is ins epa ral4 y linked with the thought of woman, the one woman either of our dream or our acquain tance. It was Buskin who said that woman is the home and “wherever a true wife comes, this home is al ways round her. The stars only may be over her head; tin 1 glow worm in the night-cold grass may be the only fire at her foot; but home is yet wherever she is; and for a noble woman it stretches far round her, bettef than ceiled with cedar, or painted with Vermilion, shedding its quiet light far, for those who else were homeless.” In the first years each furnishes the inspiration for the other to build and beautity, until the grind of business and exacting house hold duties seem to consume all time and often to destroy all am bition. Then the new inspiration be comes potent and a little child gives youth anew to all about and new hope, so that the building and beautifying goes on and ceases nevermore. As we watched this tree plant ing, we thought of the time ap proaching when the fiercer rays of the sun will he sifted and soft ened through the shade, but the tender sunshine of little Sarah’s smile will he sufficient light. And we thought we would observe the growth of the tree and child and see which should show the faster growth. And we thought of another thing. The parent seldom has to be re minded to provide lovingly for his children. But the state is parens patriae, parent of all parents; and the municipality is a branch of the same. In a large measure, a measure involving great responsibility, all the children here are our city’s children. Have we the same solic itude for their welfare as their indi vidual parents. The great majority of McDon ough’s home owners are constantly planting shade trees about their premises and many go far enough to plant them along the street at their front doors. In this k ay much of our city is beautifully shaded, and a continual blessing rests upon the planters. But still there are long gaps of glare in many streets where no shade is. Cannot our city remedy this? If it cannot itself undertake tree planting, it can offer such induce ments to home owners as will cause it to to be done. way in which many towns are doing it is to adopt an arbor day as a day each year to be given to public tree planting. It is a beautiful and useful cus tom. Let us consider it and adopt it. List of Letters. Remaining Undelivered Fom The Post Office at McDonough, Ga., For the Period Ending Feb. 6th, 1911. S. E.
