IT HE EASTER BONNET.
A foolish little maiden
Bought a foolish little bonnet,
With a ribbon, and a feather.
And a bit of lace upon it;
And. that the other maidens
Of the little town mijrht know it.
She thought she'd ko to meeting
Next Sunday just to show it.
But, though the little bonnet was scarce larger
than a dime.
The getting of it settled proved to be a work of
time;
So, when ’twas fairly tied.
All the bells had stopped their ringing.
And when she came to meeting
Sure enough the folks were singing.
So this foolish little maiden stood and waited at
the door.
And she shook her ruflles out behind, and
smoothed them down before.
"Hnlleluynh! Halleluynh!" sang the choir above
4 her head;
"Hardly knew you! Hardly knew you!"
Were the words she thought they said—
This made the little maiden feel so very, very
cross
That she gave her little head a twist, her little
head a toss; !
For she thought the very hymn they sang was
all about, her bonnet.
And the ribbon, und the feathers, and the bit of
lace upon it.
And she would not wait to listen to the sermon
nor the prayer.
But pattered down the silent stroet, and hurried
up the Htair,
Till she reached her little bureau, und. in a band
box on it.
She hid safe from critic’s eye her foolish little
bonnet.
Which proves, my little maidens, that each you
will find*.
In every Sabbuth service but an echo of your
mind:
And the little hend that’s filled with silly little
airs
Will never get a blessing from sermon or from
prayers.

The editor is in receipt of an inter

Kildare, Texas, from which we make
the following extract —
“At the close of the war 1 was
nursing a wounded comrade at Mrs.
A. A. Story’s, (afterwards Mrs. An
derson,) 3 miles from Newnan, and be
came acquainted with many of the
good people of Newnan and vicinity—
among others, Capt. Hugh Buchanan
and family. It appears that about all
of my dear Georgia friends of that re
mote period have ‘gone on before,’ hut
memory lingers about them, and their
great kindness in the days of suffering
and sorrow. 1 received a very nice
letter some time since from Mr. Ed
Buchunan, of your town, who was a
boy when I was there, and whose
mother, he told me, was still living—
which I was pleased to know.”

About Picture Shows.
A short time ago the City Council
adopted an ordinance requiring that all
picture films he censored before being
exhibited in Newnan. Inasmuch as the
films shown in Newnan are censored
before they are released, Mr. Chas.
Leres, proprietor of the Halcyon Thea
tre, wrote his supply house in Atlanta,
to know whether the films put out by
that company had been previously cen
sored. The manager of the company
replied as follows:
“Mr. Chas. Leres, Newnan, Go.—
Dear Sir: Yourfavorof April 7 to hand,
with enclosed copy of ordinance as sub
mitted by thi' Mayor and Aldormen of
your city, which wo have noted very
carefully and return herewith. We fail
to see wherein their attitude or action
would have any effect upon you at any
time, as all the pictures released in our
programme are first, passed upon by
the National Board of Censorship at
New York, and wo feel that, with their
stamp of approval attached thereto,
your local authorities could not have
any reason at any time to object to any
of the pictures which we forward you.
Kindly explain to your local authorities
that there is before the House of Rep
resentatiyes at Washington, D. C.,, a
motion to tho effect that all motion pie
tures must first be passed upon by iI h
Federal Board, who have absolute au
thority to reject or accept all moving
pictures to be handled in the United
States. Their action in the matter will
be supreme, and once a film has passed
their censorship no local institution or
board would have any authority what
ever upon these subjects. Each manu
facturer is to pay a fee of $3 per suo
ject and the revenue that is created
through this is to pay the cod. of main
taining this \sp> c.ial Board of Censor
ship, as well as the work which will
naturally fall und r Department of

matter, pices' advise us.
