And it came to pass clown
in the good city of Atlanta
that a man was arrested for
kissing his wife on their own
front porch. What next?
The average length of a
man’s life after he enters the
service of a railroad is seven
years; the chauffeur, driving
the automobile, is far less, and
the aeronaut hardly lives long
enough to tell the tale.
THE ITokeites are terribly
wrought up over the negro
circular being distributed over
the country. Lies don’t hurt'
a man ; it’s the truth that
makes him squirm, and that’s
what’s the matter in this case.
It has been said that it does
no good to advertise, that peo
pie do not read such things.
A few weeks ago our valued
Chatsworth correspondent in¬
vited everybody to the picnic
at that place on the first Sat¬
urday in Jtd). The intended
picnic was to be a Children’s
Day, made up from the Sun¬
day schools of Spring Place.
After this the place and date
were changed and the exer¬
cises took place in Spring
Place the Sunday night before
the first Saturday.
There was nothing said in
the paper about the change,
and, naturally, a good many
people thought the picnic
would be pulled off at Chats¬
worth.
Early Saturday morning
they began passing through
Spring Place by wagon loads.
They came from Whitfield,
Gordon, all over Murray, and
the northbound train due at
that station was so crowded
with passengers that standing
room was at a premium. Al
most every station from Car¬
ters ville to Chatsworth was
represented,and it is supposed
everybody had a good time,
although nothing to amuse
them was on hand.
The change in the time and
place of holding Children’s
Day exercises should have
been, mentioned through the
paper, but it was overlooked
by someone, but not ourselves,
as we knew nothing of the
change until Sunday of the
exercises, and, consequently,
are not to blame.
]f anyone came and was
disappointed through reading
the notice of the picnic in our
Chatsworth correspondent’s
letter, we are sorry indeed and
will try to do better next time

On the night of June 10th 1906,
the death angel visited the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Markin
and born away the sweet spirit
of little George, he was only two
months old but had such loving
ways that he not only gladdened
the hearts of his fond parents
but endeared him to everyone
that knew him. As his course
was finished and his race run
God was very merciful to his
c did, no lingering and trying ill
n -ss did he have to suffer. Jesus
just took him in his arms and
hushed him to sleep on his lov
breast. Little George had a
good Christian hearted mother
tiiat nursed him very tenderly,
and a kind and generous hearted
father that loved him very dear
ly; but little George is beyond
pain and suffering; eternal youth
has enveloped him and, fresh
and fair, he dwells with the
blessed Savior and loved ones
gone before,
To the father and mother to
