SONS OF VETERANS.
Screven’s Veterans and Sons of
Vet erans met toget her in happy un
ion And reunion at Sylvania today.
The Present, linked in bonds of
love with the Past, gave promise to
tfie Future that the Confederate Vet
efen will live in history and in
sfory when Time’s effacing fingers
^snall have swept away the monu
ments that record his deeds.
It was a happy day—full of love
and memories, and fragrant with
the incense of the past.
A large number of old soldiers
were there—the special guests, as
well they should be, of these their
sons, who know how they should be
honored.
V. ■And the Sons were there—a large

A Study in Nature.
The sun was just rising wlu-n 1
walked out into the yard the
other morning, and saw innumer
able little silver circles, of beau,
tiful and exquisite workmanship,
strung from tree to tree and bush
to bush. It was a pretty sight,
with the dew drops sparkling like
gems all over these curious little
patterns of lace work, in the first
rays of the morning.
In each piece that had been
hung out there, for the delecta
tion of him who would rise
to see it, the same general design
seemed to have been followed—
showing most obviously the hand
of one great architect who de
vised the plan of them all. There
was a large circle, and then a
smaller one within, and so on,
and so on, circle after circle, until
it reached the center—the home
of the builder. And these circles
wore bound together by cross sec
tions of the same tine work, to
hold it all in perfect place. It
was a marvelously constructed
piece of work, in truth, and,
strange to say, there was not a
single Haw in it all. Every cir
cle was beautifully perfect—even
to the smallest one; and every
cross section was exactly right,
the same distauce apart, and so
placed as to make the edifice
strong and artisfic. hard thing
A circle is a to
draw—it is the very symbol of
perfection; the ancients held that
it was the likeness of God him
self. But man could never draw
one circle like this—much less a
hundred or more, in perfectly de
creasing or increasing propor
tions. And yet, here was fliis
tiny little builder of the yard,
w’ho had, alone and unaided, and
suspended in the air, drawn a
piece of work that would put the
greatest mathematician to shame.
1 marveled as I looked upon t he
little workman—this little crea
ture of such perfect design, as he
sat there, surrounded by his mag
nificent structure. Talk about
your architecture—your Gothic,
and Corinthian, and all the others
that came to us from the Greeks;
but here was something that sur
passed them all. It was the very
perfection of beauty—it was art
absolute. Talk about your tern
windows upon gorgeous altars—
but here was one, builded in a
night, that caught the first rays
through oriels of silver and gold,.
and there, too, sat the little priest,
as of old, in the innermost sanctu
‘ , irv ot the temple
But this was not all. I was
soon to' see that Ibis structure,
s gos l , samer in the morning

thought—if Th^re was deeper design |
lu the I may call it
go _ of the worker . Everv rouiu i
in that structure, ’ every section, ’
An( / well; ah ‘ V y ell did it serve it !
Soon an unsuspecting victim came
flying by,and became entangled in
the outer edge of the intricate web
Inst . mtJy it seemed tohe tele

may continue t he

one of the lines, the most, direct,

c i uu .„ e> Gathering the victim in
his arms, he carried it down to
his home, apparently tor pur
poses 0 f sacrifice. Just at this
instant, however, a message of
“
the first victim on the chancel
rail, he hurried after the second.
But when he seized tins one,
be no t return home as
before—but, evidently being in
a h » rry ’, °, n amount, of the
one he had left,, lie dropped
straight through the air until
within several inches of the cen
ter, and then climbed dexter-
ously to the altar, where he de
posited victim number two. No
sailor in all this world could have
climbed the rigging of his ship
with Half the dexterity that this
little creature climbed his silvery
web. It was wonderful, it, was
marvelous to see it.
I stood there and watched him
for a long time—him ami his coin

not completed their structures,
and they were working most as
siduously—round upon round,
getting closer each time to the
center, working and weaving, with
all the perseverance of Penelope,
and I daresay with much more of
genius, And everything that little I
saw—the structure, the
creature himself, and his manner
0 f procedure, all indicated har

fabric that he had built for the
morning sun to gild with perish its glory, be
au( i then to wither and
fore that sun should fade away. -
When I walked out into the
yard that night, the silver circles
were all gone from the trees—
but. over in the west there was a
silver sickle in the sky, and it,
too, was in the form and fashion
of a circle, as if the same archi-
tect had planned the tinv struc

I do not handle all lines usually carried by the ordinary real estate agents. I must sell real estate—anil

to find, at the close of of the year, that I have sold twice as many properties as 1 did the past year, but it
will first be necessary for me to “ list” more properties. I want to list yours and 6ell it. It doern’t matter
