Clifford and Sidney Tinier were In.
separable comrades throughput the
Civil War. The poet. Indeed, declined
promotion In order that he might not
be separated from his young and
only brother. Like *hja brother, CUD
ford Lanier, was a man of -rent lit

Inclinations. For a number’df tydgrb
he was superintendent .of.the. rnHL;

He was born In Macon-)
From a volume In ’my library I
glean the following relative to the
life and writings of the poet, Sidney
Lanier: • * . .
"He wma a spotless, sunny.muled,
hard-working, and divinely gifted
man, who had exalted Idea* both of
art and of life, and ho
‘Lived and aang. that life and eon*.
Might each express th* other** all;
Careless If Ufa or art were long
Since both were one, to aland ar
fall.
"Who shouted It about the land;
His song was only living aloud—
His work a tinging with his hand."
■ But the shout wae raised after he
was called away. During hie life
time he was left to th* accumulated
Ills of poverty, neglect, disease and
prematura death; In after year*, to
■■■ generally recognised a* one of
the most distinctive figure* in our
literature, claiming for him the right
to rank among the few genuine poeta
of America. —
Sidney Lanier sprang from a Hu
guenot family, tha founder of which,
on English soil, was Jerome. Lanier,
who emigrated with hla family to
England In tha latter part of the reign . *
of Queen Elisabeth. Th* first La- L|
nter to come tp America was Thomas
In I?l*. The family furnished many
honored cltlxena to tha country.

Mary. 8u* and Jim.
It was a case of disorderly conduct
on the part of two girls, one being
Mary, the delivery girl for a dress
maker. and 8uq, who was assistant to
her mar tn the restaurant business.
The man In the ta*e was Jim Mobley,
who runs a pressing dub of his own.
It seems that Jim was stuck on the
two girls, but to save his life he
couldn't tell which one he loved has;.
He we* fond of Sue because he callea
to see her and he was always Invited
to a t what Jim loved In the way ot
the hour of the visit, and Sue knew
to at what Jim Gloved In tha wav of
grub. And then he was fond of Mary
because Mary had so. much styie ab'ut
her. and when he walked down the
street with her the othar boys Just
envied him.
But like all women, each wanted
him all to herself. If Mary heard ot
him going to see Sue she was pout
ing for a week, and It was the same
thing If Sue heard that he was going
to see Mary. It was therefore
up to Jim to so steer himself that fc*
could be on friendly terms with both.
Sooner or later comes on outbreak in
all auch cases, and when Su* went to
an entertainment In Tybee Friday
night, her Intention being unknown to
Jim or Mary, and she found them
there, then came trouble.
It waa Sue who was first called on
to tell of this trouble.
"Jedge, hit wuxser ’bout Mary's city
d’rcc’ry, dat wu* de fuetls staat er de

"City directory.* What about Mary's
city directory?* asked the courv.
"Dunno. Jedge. dat wot she eay hit

“Oh. you mean a dlrectolre gown,

observed the court.
