Brannen is Off For a Vacation Editor Milledgeville News: It may sound paradoxical —to some verv practical-minded persons, quixotic —for me to say that for nearly two weeks past I have been rusticating in Atlanta. Go to a city to rusticate! Men seek the quiet places when they want rest from t.bo stress and strain of business. They go to the seashore and listen to what the sad waves say—lulled to sleep at night by the beating of the surf up on the long white beach. Or they find some Sylvan retreat in the mountains where the rattle of the street ear and tho shriek of the steam engine has not penetrated and there amid the silence of nature try to find rost for tired brain and recover strength for the next cam- [paign. That may be, doubtless is, the real natural, rational thing to do, but I havo pursued an entirely different mothod. Call it foolish, whimsical, or irration; if you will, I have sought and found rest right in the heart ot Geor gia’s noisiest city. To me there has been recreation in the crowds that day and night throng the busy marts. I have been lulled to sleep b.v the rattle of tho cars over the steel rails, motion has conducoi to quiet nerves, the s'ghts, the sounds, the rush, the roar— ; „ “ ’ J come off all these things mingled together have ; brought me surcease from the daily- openings of the past, when tnere were hot contests over the speakership, the proceedings were tame to the point of dullness.

REYNOLDS On account of ill health Rev. D. \V. Brannen, pastor of the Presbyterian church has found it necessary to go off for a rest and he will bo at Indian Springs for a few days. However, he ample time to hold quarterly community the First Sunday in July, but there will no services next Sunday. The members of the church kindly contributed a splendid purse to Mr. Brannen as an adjunct to his trip and he expresses his appreciation of thi3 at tention in a feeling manner. All Mr. Brannon's friends hope for him a com plete restoration to health. Monday afternoon Rollin and Lois Cardell, the seven year-old son and lit tle four-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Cardell, were badly burned bv an electric wire on the corner of Montgomery and Jefferson streets.
