RHYME OF A DREAM-MAKER.
Down near the etui of n wandering lane,
That runs ’round the cares of the day,
Where Conscience and Memory meet and explain
Their quaint little quarrels away.
Tin* misty air castle sits back in the dusk
Where brownies and hobgoblins dwell.
And this is the home
Of a busy old gnome
Who is making up dream things to sell,
My dear.
The daintiest dream things to sell.
He makes golden dreams out of wicked men’s
sighs.
He weaves on the thread of a hope
The airiest fancies of pretty brown eyes.
And patterns his work with a trope.
The breath of a rose and the blush of a wish,
Boiled down to the ghost of a bliss.
He wraps in a smile
Every once in a while
And calls it the dream of a kiss.
Dear heart.
The dream of an unborn kiss.

And he’d given my dream to you.
Sweetheart,
He’d given our dream to you.

A GREAT SHOW.
There are many Indians, Indians of
all sorts, witli the 101 Ranch Wild
We3t Show, which will visit this city
for two performances on Wednesday,
Oct. 14, afternoon and night.
All of them are the pui'e-blooded peo
ple of the wild old days. Sioux, Crows,
Osages, Sac and Foxes. Apaches, Chey
ennes, Comanches, Poncas, Pawnees,
Cherokees, Choctaws and Navajos are
represented in the camp of skin lodges
which is daily pitched on the show-
grounds. Visitors are welcomed to the
encampment, and many converse free
ly with the red men through interpre
ters. They will find the Indians
much interested and amused as they,
themselves.
Despite the advantages of civiliza
tion, the protection of the Government
and the benefits of peace, many of
these Indian nations will soon exist
only in memory. Swiftly the grim fer
ryman is beckoning the red man across
the dark river to the councils of his
forefathers. The handful of Poncas
with the show, for instance, include
nearly all the survivors of this once
powerful and populous tribe. They are
lean, sinewy and tough, and literally
the fittest of their race. The older In
dians take keen delight in recounting
the days when they followed the buffa
lo herds from place to place, leading
them into traps or forcing their horses

no rations came gratuitously to them
from the Government agent and they
depended on the abundant fish and
game which swarmed in the rivers or
on the uplands, and which yielded an
easy subsistence.
Many famous chieftains are enrolled
among the hundred Indians the

squaws, young belles of the wigwam,
gay braves, and papooses swinging un
complainingly on their mothers’ backs.
The war dances performed are those
which the Government has for years
tried unsuccessfully to discourage and
check. The children are prohibited by
the Federal authorities from watching
the fantastic, savage evolutions, in
which the old Indians feign war, pre
tending to attack and scalp their ene
mies, and entering into the spirit of
the stage-battle as though it were
grimly real.
In spite of the Government and in
spite of education, it will be observed
that the Indians cling to old customs
;and old traditions. The men remain
strangers to work, and refuse to be in
troduced. They insist upon the wife
performing all labor, whether there he
one wife or three. The squaws carry
the baggage, build the fires, erect the
tepees and saddle the horses. Their re

Where the silvery moonbeams caress
the sweet magnolia blooms—where the
mocking-bird swoons in ectsasy as lie
trills and thrills his evening lay—where
the Southern Cross hangs low in the
summer sky and sheds its golden radi
ance on fair women and brave men—
where the cotton opens its snow white
bolls and showers its largoss t
peaceful people—where the happy ne
groes sit beside their cabin doors, sing
ing their quaint songs to the tinkle-
tankle of the banjo—where hospitality
is the one endeavor of the generous res
idents, and where the weary wayfarer
is welcomed with outstretched hands to
groaning hoards—where the mint patch
flourishes and the liquor glows ruby red
—where chivalry still retains its beau
teous swny — where the days are
dreams of delight and the soft and
odorous nights make romance live again
—where the love-birds coo and caress
in the fragrant branches of the emblos-
somed trees — where all nature is
brightest, sweetest, loveliest. That’s
the Sunny South. And the speaker?
Ah. who could the speaker be hut that
distinguished son of that Sunny South,
that silver-tongued orator from Dixie,
that Ajax of Atlanta, that Demos
thenes of Demopolis, Col. John Temple
Graves? Favorite son of a favored sec
tion. none ho well as he can phrase the
delights of the land of his nativity.
There are other orators in the South.
Dixie teems with them. It goes with
the blood, the birth. In the North,
when a man cannot do anything else,
he thinks he can write. In the South,
when he can do nothing else, he knows
he can talk. Oratory a lost art? If it
ever was lost the South found it. But.
even so, there are orators, and at the
apex, the peak, standing in sublime
and solitary splendor on a pedestal of
golden, glistening, glittering language,
is Col. John Temple Graves, who distils
common speech into the quintessence
of poetry, who pronounces a “Good
morning” with such measured cadence
that the trite and trivial words fall like
liquid music on enraptured ears, for
whom the garden of rhetoric holds its
fairest flowers, whose feet wander on
the primrose paths of poesy, and whose
head is over far amid the stars—John
Temple Graves, the hottest little ta
male when it comes to handing out the
spoken word we have in our vast and
somewhat conversational midst.

A Great Public Highway From
West Point to Atlanta.
Editors Herald and Advertiser:
1 ask space in your valuable columns
to make a suggestion on the road ques
tion: There has not been a time in
years when there was so much interest
in the public mind on this question as
we see to-day. This interest lias been
intensified by late legislation regarding
the convicts of the Stnte, and this
seems to afford an opportunity for the
public to enjoy good roads that they
never had before. My suggestion is to
the citizens of Troup. Coweta and
Campbell.
Under the law two or more counties
may act in concert in working their
own convicts, and also have the right
to hire from other counties that do not
work their own convicts. Under this
phase of the law my suggestion is that
these three counties above named unite
and together work their convicts on a
great thoroughfare from the Alabama
line at West Point to Atlanta, the
State capital. Let this road be built
passing each county-site and the popu
lous towns along the Atlanta and West
Point railroad. In making this sugges
tion I recognize that Campbell county
is small and comparatively poor, and
could not of itself build such a road as
1 suggest. Coweta and Troup counties
are both large and rich, and doubtless
would be glad to have such a road as I
suggest leading to the State capital;
but this direct road could not be built
except by co-operation, as l suggest,
and would have to pass through Camp
bell to reach the capital in u direct
line. There would be nbout 15 miles of
this road in Campbell county, approxi
mately 30 miles in Cowetu, and nbout
the same in Troup. This road could be
built broad enough to uccommoduto u
trolley lino, and each county would re
serve the right to sell a right-of-way
for such a line, which they could sell
for cash or stock in the company, as
thov might deem best. Such a road,
leading through the various towns of
each county along the West Point road,
I apprehend would lie the policy of the
road commissioners of each county, if
acting independently, to build their
roads through the most populous dis
tricts first, if they were working only
their county roads; but the ndvnntage
of uniting as I suggest gives us one
continuous road to the State capital.
Such a road would be an object lesson
to the citizens of each of these coun
ties, and after it was properly built
and cherted would be a great stimu
lus to public sentiment on this impor
tant question of roads.
I have taken this means of publish
ing my suggest ions because prompt ac
tion will have to be taken, as various
counties are acting now and making
their compacts and arrangements, and
to get our full advantage we should be
among the first to be ready to use these
convicts. I trust that these sugges
tions will lead to provoked public dis
cussion by the citizens of these coun
ties, and if it meets with favor ar
rangements can be made to have a con
vention of delegates from the counties
interested and discuss and arrange the
plans and conditions to perfect an or
ganization.
Doubtless the papers of our counties
will be glad to publish views and assist
in bringing about a full discussion, if
those interested feel that there is mer
it in it. Hal L. Johnston.

Dr. Willis Jones Succeeds Dr. William
P. Nicolson.
Atlanta ConHlitution, 30th ult.
Dr. Willis Jones was this week ap-
pointed attending surgeon to Grady
Hospital, Atlanta—a distinction that is
much coveted and greatly esteemed by
the members of the medical profession
of that city. Dr. Jones is an old Cow
eta boy, and his rapid rise in the pro
fession of surgery is a source of pride
and pleasure to his numerous friends
here. Referring to his appointment to
the position named the Atlanta Consti
tution of Wednesday says:
“Dr. Willis Jones, at the meeting of
the medical hoard of the Grady Hos
pital yesterday afternoon, was elected
attending surgeon to Grady Hospital.
to succeed Dr. William Perrin Nicol
son, who tendered his resignation, af
ter eighteen years of continuous ser
vice.
“Dr. Jones is considered the coming
surgeon of Atlanta. He was graduated
at the University of Georgia in 1896,
and at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons in New York in 1901. He
served three years witn distinction on
the surgical staff of Bellevue Hospital,
in New York.
“Four and a half years ago he came
to Atlanta to begin the practice of sur
gery, and has been remarkably suc
cessful in his chosen profession.
Though yet a young man, he is con
sidered a surgeon of unusual skill and
ability. Dr. Jones is 33 years of age,
and was born in Newnan. Ga.
“Dr. Nicolson resigns after eighteen
years of continuous service, and as he
is considered one of the most skilled
and successful surgeons in the South,
the succession to his position as attend
ing surgeon by Dr. Jones is a distinct
honor.”

In a rural community in one of the
.Middle States dwelt a man who made a
vow in 1856 that he would wear his
Miller hair and beard untrimmed until John
C. Fremont should be elected President
of the United States. Ho kept that
vow for forty years, at the end of
which time he had nearly a half bushel
of hair on his head and face. Then
coming to the conclusion, toward which
his mind had been gradually working
for a long time, that Geri. Fremont’s
death in the interval had practically
absolved hirn from his vow. he decided
to have his hair cut and his beard
shaved off clean. On his next visit to
the county seat he went to a barber
shop and was soon relieved of the hir
sute burden he had carried for four de
cades.
“How much?” he asked.
“Have to charge you half a dollar
for that job.” said the harber, looking
at the mass that lay on the floor.
“Half a dollar!” he gasped. “Don’t
i get anything for the hair?”
