Editor Sweat on Spring.
The flaming peach blooms have
heralded the coining of the days of
spring and every crimson petal has
been kissed by the warm Southern
breeze into blusiug life, says the
Griffin News. (We cannot help it
if they are now frostbitten. T liis
is prose and poetry and we are us
ing poetic license.) The violet has
lifted its fragrant head from the
rich soil, (because it could not
help itself.) Across the fields the
plowman comes turning the fertile
soil as he marks the places where
in the fall the stalks that bear the
“Kiug” will spring, (and listens
for the welcome sound of the din
ner horn.) With smiling face the
milkmaid trips across the field
(in search of the milk weed.)Afar
off the thrilling notes of the
thrush, the bob-o-link, the wrenn
and mockingbird, the king of
Southern songsters is heard,mingl
ed with the shrill cry of the spar
row hawk and the joree and the
flamingo, (if there are no flamin
goes in Georgia it is not our fault.
It is a pretty bird.)Down the nar
row lane fragrant with the burst
ing buds of the honeysuckle comes
the truant hoy with fishing rod and
line, (and in our opinou he is the
only philosophic thing in this
beautiful word picture. Durn
prose poetry, anyway. Editor's
note: This editorial is the com
bined result of buttermilk, let
tuce, onions and spring fever
mingled with the recollection of
our reminiscence in not having
written a spring poem this year.
We promised not to do it again.—

Christian Letter from Ohoopee.
Mr. Editor:—Will you spare
me a little more space in your
columns. I feel that it is my duty
to write to your paper, and also to
other papers that I am not asham
ed to stand up and hold to my
Lord and Saviour Jeßiis Cheist. As
Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the son
of man be lifted up, that whoso
ever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have eternal life. You
will find this in the 3rd chapter of
St. John, 14 and 15 verses. This
was Jesus teaching God love. Dear
friends, in my other letter I spoke
about a shower of rain that fell
on me 4 years ago last August. I
made a mistake it was a shower of
blood instead of rain. Now this
was a great warning to nip, but I
did not think so then, hut you
know that we can be saved through
the blood of Jesuß Christ.
Now 1 can say this much, if we
dont humble ourselves at Jesus’
feet and obey the commandments
and bear our burden as He did we
can’t enter into His Kingdom. We
jnuet not get too far off in the
world, and not let riches of this
earth carry and preach us away
from Christ. Parents, yes, teaeh
your children that there is a Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ. Yes
call our wives and children around
our fire-side at night and read a
few versos of God’s word and get
down on our knees and give him
thanks for the blessings lie has
given us through the day. Dear
‘’fiends don’t he discouraged at no
time. Yes, stand up for our Sav
iour, it makes no difference what
the world says about you, God
will attend to them a day to come.
May God bless everybody that we
all may have good success, and
serve Him more closer than we
ever have before. May God bless
you all. R. S. Johnson.

The Mystery of Cowart’s Pond.
Much excitement wa& ereabd
Thursday, April 6th in the neigh
borhood of Cowart’s mill, near
Stillmore; when it was reported
| that the body of a beautiful wo
man was to he set'll only a few
feet under rh*- water. Mr. William
Cowart made the discovery and
called his sons and a negro, who
was near by, to witness the find, ft
However, before a party could
he gotten together, the body dis
appeared and all efforts to locate
it were in vain. Some believe that
there was never airy woman there,
but parties who- know the people
say they believe there was a wo
man in the pond, and that she was
taken our. by somebody Thursday
night. They do not believe that
Mr. Cowart could have been de
ceived by reflections of the light
so grossly and while there is no
body in the community that is
missing, it is said that a young
lady filling the description of the
lady seen in the pond, bought a
ticket at Newberry, S. C-, for Gar
field, Ga., and that she is missing.
This may or may not be true.
Sheriff Fields, with a crowd,
went down Friday, and searched
the pond in every conceivable
place, without any results.
Now’, if Mr. Cow’art did not see
a woman, what did he see? If hi 9
sons and the negro hoy did not see
a woman, wdiat was it they saw?
If they did see a woman, who was
she; where is she; how came her
in the pond, and who took her
out? This is certainly a mystery
here, and it is said that detectives
are shadowing some people believ
ed to be implicated in some way
with this affair. We can only
await further developmens.—For
est Blade.
