Sylvan Solitude.
BT EULIH HOLTON.
When can* oppressed, I hie me to the
woods,
And ’neath their shadow wend my pen
sive way,
Adown their silens, shaded solitudes,
I seek a covert from the glaring day.
Beneath the rugged oaks and stately
pines, •
Around whose trunks the clinging
vines entwine.
A peace serene comes stealing o’er my
heart,
As their majestic beauty fills my soul,
The proud up-rearing of man’s puny
art,
Beside them seem unsatisfying, cold,
Like short-lived error, and eternal
truth
They fall, but here abides perennial
youth.
With out-stretched arms the forest
cries to me,
Oh, wandering son, where hast thou
strayed so long?
It chants a solemn, slumbrous lullaby,
While the wild-wood bird sings her
vesper song,
Such peaceful joys the city cannot
give,
Her chldren may exist, but do not
live.
The Altamaha Bridge.
Waycross, Ga. July 24. —Final ex
amination was made to-day of the pro
posed crossing of the Altamaha river
twelve miles from Baxley. The con
tract, which will call for abridge cost
ing not less than $28,000, will be let
before the week ends, and work then
rushed. The two counties directly af
fected, Appling and Toombs, will be
gin constructing the approaches to the
bridge immediate y. In addition the
roads either side will be well graded
and hard surfaced.
The letting of the contract will be
the direct result of good road agitation
through this section during the last
six months.
The above special from the Morning
News tells the story as it is and it will
mean much for both Toombs and Appl
ing counties. This means tnat the
North and South direct highway, run
ning from Charlotte, N. C., to Florida
points will come through the heart of
Toombs county and all the other high
ways will point to this bridge. It is
quite an undertaking for the two coun
ies, hut the bridge proper will be a
private enterprise and it will be a pay
ing investment for it’s stockholders.
Stick To It.
John Wanamaker, the big Philadel
phia merchant, says: Advertising is
not on enterprise for a “quitter.” If
there is one enterprise on earth a quit
ter should leave alone, it is advertis
ing To make a success of advertising
one must be prepared to stick like a
barnacle to a boat’s bottom.
He should know before he begins
that he must spend money—lots of it.
Somebody must tell him that he can
not hope to obtain results commensur
ate with his expenditures early in the
game.
Advertising does not jerk : It pulls.
It begins very gently at first, but the
pull is steady. It increases clay by day
and year by year until it exerts an ir
resistible power.
The Lyons people are not kicking a
bit but the country people are begin
ning to find fault with the manner in
which the roads are being worked.
Some of them say that all attention
is being given to the roads leading to
Vidalia and the balance of the county
is being slighted. We want Vidalia to
have good roads, but nearly every man
in the county lias more or less business
at the county site and it is the custom
all over the state to get good roads to
the county site first. A road to the
court house from Normantown and an
other from the north-east section of
the county is badly needed and the
people are beginning to get impatient !
at tiie delay in getting the road gang
in these sections
Agent Thomas tell? us that the Sea
board is going to enlarge the cotton
platform this season and the carpen
ters are expected at any time. He is
also trying to have the office made
more comfortable and we are satisfied
that he needs more room. Our depot
is not what Lyons should have and we
hear that a move is being made to see
that some improvements are made in
keeping ftith the business of the sta
tion.
Saturday is the date for the farmers
who are interested in the Union Fertil
izer Factory to meet in Lyons and the
attendance should be good. A fertil
izer factory operated by the Union will
be a benefit to the farmers genearlly,
because if they make their own fertil- '
izer they will know just what they are
using. |
