(By Staff Representative.)
Adairsville, Ga., April 7.—(Special.) ,
School days are the ones which in I
after life shine out as the happiest
days of all, and those of today in the
Adairsville school will seem mostly
sunshine, especially to pupils now in
the tlrst and second grades, where
learning is more than half play, or so ,
it might appear to an unitlated observ- |
er. A happier set of little “primmers” |
would be hard to find than those under
Miss Alameda Kennard, who not only j
teaches them the first steps in reading, 1
spelling, arithmetic and writing—it is j
surprising to see how well some of the J
tots" form their letters and add their i
sums —but to appreciate pictures, sto- !

ries and songs, and how sweetly they
can sing! y
In Mrs, Lee’s room the same line is
earned further. Each season has its
own motif to which attention is direct,
ed and around which the work is woven
stories read, poems learned and re
cited. and drawings made from free
hand sketches on the blackboard, each
child coloring the design according to
his fancy; baskets cut from paper, and
booklets, such as Easter eggs and
chicks, in which the spelling lesson is
to be written, and the whole collection
placed above the board as a decora
tion, all these seeming recreations com
ing as a reward for excellency in study
and deportment, but really serving to
teach eye and hand to be accurate and
obey the brain in carrying out its ideas.
Harder work, under Miss Wilbur
Moncrief, comes in the fourth and fifth
grades, but these, too, have their aes
! thetic side, with pictures and flowers
in every available spot, and well drawn
maps on the wall. These pupils show
a love of good reading and understand
ing on the subject. j
Mrs. Annie Green's room, the sixth
and seventh grade, is busy as the pro
verbial bee. Miss Kate Brock has a 1
part of these grades and also the over- i
flow from the third, while the high
school pupils, under Miss Ethfi Gardi- i
ner, Miss Bessie Compton and Profes- j
sor J. W. Lee, are climbing the hill of I
learning, along with the stairs. Prac- j
tically all they need is waking up to
the fact that, though this is a separate 1

school, it is also part of the county
system, the district, the state, and of
the United States department of edu
cation; and therefore it behooves them
to acquire an ambition to excel as a
school, and also as individuals, among
their competitors in various branches,
such as oratory, athletics, and in ex
hibits at the county fair.

—Friday night in honor of her sister
in-law, Miss Mary Bess Bowdoin, and
ijer house guest, Miss Sarah Brandon,
also her brother, Mr. Claude Gaines, of
Annapolis. Four tables of set-back
caused a world of merriment, so the
young folks could not tear themselves
away till the witching hour, Mrs. Bow
doin received her guests wearing a
handsome gown of taupe satin and
maiine, elaborately braided. She was
assisted by her niece, Miss Bessie Sue
Bishop, who wore a dainty little frock
of crepe meteor in the new tangerine
shade. Miss Bowdoin was quite be
witching In jade green taffetas ar.d
tulle, while Miss Brandon radiated sun
shine in yellow crepe de chine and
lace. Mrs. Bowdoin regafed the com
pany with fruit salad and punch.
J. T. Nolan Entertained
For Friends.
J. TANARUS, Nolan entertained thirty of his
particular friends last Friday night at
the home of his father, Mr. Elbert No
lan It was a regular spring party, for
which dogwood, honeysuckle and roses
bloomed on purpose to trim the hall,
dining room and parlor; even spring
wagons—who doesn’t enjoy the fun of
a straw ride in the country—and spring
chicken tor the salad. Mrs. Ab Mex
well chaperoned one load and Mrs. W.
P. Martin the other, and everybody had
a nn rry evening.
Mrs. George Veach at Home
To Music Club.
In lighter vein, as befitted the season,
was the program of the Music Club
which met with Mrs. George Veach the
fourth Saturday in March. The dining
room of this handsome residence was
given over for a stage whereon the
SWEET FAMILY gave a burlesque
play, representing a feminine opera
troupe on the road. The company con
sisted of Maw Sweet (Mrs. N. C. An
derson) end her seven talented daugh
ters, namely, Mrs. Julia V. Stewart,
Mrs. A. E. Brogdon. Miss Edna King,
Mrs. O. B. Bishop, Mrs. C. M. Cham
blee and Miss Alameda Kennard
(twins), and Mrs. Crescy McCutchen,
as the littlest girl, all appropriately
costumed, to say nothing of the star
performer, the “orchestra ’ presided
over by Maw, which accompanied the
laughter-producing libretto. Club mem
bers and guests to the number of forty
were seated in adjoining rooms and
enjoyed Mrs. Veach’s hospitality, and
so successful was the performance as
rendered that the club is considering
its repetition at the opera house at an
early date for - the benefit of some local
enterprise.
Young Folks Visited
Acworth Church.
Quite a number of young people from
the Baptist Sunday school, consisting
of Mrs. Martin’s class, drove to Ac
worth Easter Sunday to visit the Pres
byterian Sunday school there, and
spent a very happy day. “Hold the
Fort 1 ’ is their class song, and so spir
itedly did they sing it that their hosts
caught the enthusiasm, according to
Mr. William Abbott, who wrote that
his pupils now sang the same song with
added interest and enjoyment.
Misses Bowdoin and Brandon
Honor Guests.
Mrs. Joe Bibb Bowdoin was hostess
at a three-table rook party Saturday
afternoon in-honor of Miss Mary Bess
Bowdoin and her guest, Miss Sarah
Brandon. There was an abundance of
blossoms in evidence to vie with the
society “buds,” and a lively game pre
ceded the refreshments, a delicious
salad course, served by the hostess,
who was assisted by her sister, Mrs.
Howard.
Meeting to Discuss
Citizenship.
Acting on the suggestion of the
State Federation, the Adairsville Wo
man's Club initiated a series of meet
ings for the study of Citizenship on
Monday afternoon in the Methodist
church. Mrs. Boyd, the president, first
presided, but later turned the meeting
over to Mrs. W. P. Martin, chairman
for the day, who introduced Mr. Willis
Boyd, as one who, as a man and sol
dier, was qualified to speak as to the
requirements of a citizen.. These he
placed under seven heads, trustworthi
ness; confidence; loyalty; ambition;
thrift; courage, and reverence. All
these should have their part in enab
ling every man at)d woman to faithfully
enact the roil of citizen, not only of
the United States, but of the world.
The club joined in singing patriotic
songs and a round table discussion of
the subject, before entering into the
regular business session in which plans
for civic work were made.

Pensions May Be
Paid This Month
First Half of List Stands Chance of
Receiving Checks—Expect Heavy
Tax Payment as Pension Payment
Time Fixed by Law Expires
the First of May.
Atlanta, Ga., April 7. —A bright day
is about to dawn for the Confederate
pensioners of the state. The first half
of the old list pensioners stand a chance
to get some money about the 20th of
April—and that isn’t an April fool story
either.
Today State Treasurer W. J. Speer,
in making calculations on the condition
of the state treasury at the end of the
first quarter, and casting up the visible
ncome, figured it will be possible, by
the practice of certain rigid economies
along other lines, to pay the first half
of the old pension list by the 20th or
25th.
An estimate from the comptroller
general’s office figures $700,000 in spe
cial taxes will be received by the end
of this month—these payments are
really expected by or before the 20th—
of which there have been a few sub
stantial payments already made, ag
gregating $145,000. If these funds are
not absorbed by payments on account
of other appropriations, there will be
a fund sufficient to meet a part of the
pension appropriation, and to that end
Colonel Speer is today making recom
medation that all other warrants which
can be held up not be sent to the treas
ury department before the 20th.
The special t%x payments so far
made include $60,000 from Fulton coun
ty, ,W from Chatham, $23,000 from

The time fixed by law for payment of
all the pensions is the first of next
month—that is all the old list pensions
—but it is not within the scope of good
luck at this time to forecast that the
last half of the list can or will be
reached within that time.
Those counties which will be paid
first this year, under the custom which
has long been in vogue, will be the ones
paid latest last year.
