A KISS IN THE RAIN.
One tlormy mom I chanced lo meet
A la,nr in llie town;
Her lock, were like the opened wheat,
Met laughing rye, were brown.
I watched het aa the tripped along
Till maiinru filled my biain.
And then—anil then -I know ’twai wrong—
I kiaaeil hn in the rain!
The Easter Morning.
“The brightest day is dawning.”
1 f all the wotld could disrobe of sin and put on the mantle of
purity today what a rejoicing there would he on earth.
The golden sun rays, marking the most glorious anniversary in
all the world's history, will kiss a land this season doubly blessed,
giving humin ty an infinite rca o 1 f r worshipping at the shrine of
the i,iver of all good.
Sunday will probably be a beautiful Easter day. It will be sor
rowful for some, because death enters daily, and trouble comes un
ceasingly, but there is something akin to the Balm of Gi'ead in the
sety atmosphere today.
No matter how faithful and true the Christian is today he
feels anew the inspiring life giving power of his God. No matter
howdeepma) he the scatlet of the sinner’s robe he realizes the
omnipotent power that Christ holds to cleanse it, for the conquer-
er of death is the conquerer of all.
And Christ is risen Irotn the dead.

Like dewdropt on n rote,
The little Uuie itrove to apeak
My boldr.rai to oppose;
She strove in vain, and quivering,
Her fingers stole in mine;
And then the birds 1 egan to sing,
The sun bey an to shine.
Oh, let the cloud grow dark above,
My heart is light below;
Tis always summer when we love,
However winds may blow;
And Tarn ns proud as any prince,
All honors I disdain.
She says I am her rain beau since
I kissed her in the tain.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKF.
One of the aspiring young po'-'t'eiarr
of the countv n‘niggled in The News of
fice one morning this week, his hair dis
hevelled, ltis brow wrinklo 1 in deep
though, his oyes heavy from want of
sleep. 'Wont vou put this in the paper
— this announcemant—and I’ll give you
folk tho first five dollars I gat out of
the office.’ ’
It wouldn’t b > fiir to tell the whole
story of th ■ m laj icoinsnt. Ha stated
he had spent a sleepless nigut in en
deavoring to framo the fow magic
words that would electrify the people
and pave tho way to congress--maybe.
But tho end of it was something bril
liant and after concluding n paragraph
of apparently original sentences ho
finished by saying:
“l will do all that becomes n man,
Who ihyes do more is none.”
The can lidats, needless to say, has
no opposition. Mo was in a race for
matrimony an I ho will now bo married
If some folk persisted in ignoring the laws just because they had a little
inlluence gained by wealth?
If springtime was present in all its glory and yet these same folk would
not clean up their premises?
If the health of tho city was endangered thereby and yet no active
steps were taken to enforce cleanliness?
Yes, you can c'o it in spite of all these difficulties. You can get around
and urge the good people to pull together and make a city beautiful and let
the rest of them drag along until they naturally drift away into eternity.
We don't want to say what we couM say to wake up just about half a
dozen of the latter kind. We don’t want to agitate a question uselessly, but
we want to see health reign king here.
Last season we urged it from start to finish anil the doctors say that due
largely to cleanliness here there was less sickness than usual by a great per
centage than heretofore.
It will take about 30 cents a week to keep clean premises. It will cos*
about $30.00 weekly to pay the penalty of sickness, to siy nothing of sufter-
ing and impending death.
Citizens ol Milledgeville, it is your duty to see that your next door
neighbor obeys the law ami it is your duty to obey it, too. If you don’t and
yout neighbor doesn’t then there's no way to figure out results. Get your
shoulders to the wheel, don’t jeopardize health and prosperity with your
carelcssnes. Don’t let the grass and weeds hide germs and filth. Get the
cleanly spirit and you’ll profit thereby.

THE VALUABLE WO.'IH ON G90D ROADS.
A Local Delegals Tells of
K. cf P. District Lonvevlion
Absolutely;
Pure
The fifth Annua! Convention of the
10th District of the Knight of Pythus
was held at Fort Valley on the 17th
net. an 1 MilleJgevdle L>lg! 123 was
represented by T. H. Caraker, G. W
Barr, Charlie Chandler. Sid Stem' rid?e,
C. W. Richter and F. M. Gobert. The
convention was a success in every le
aped, and the good people of Fort
Valley will long be remembered in the
hearts of the K. P. There was a sh r.
business session in the afternoon an. a
delightful automobile ride around the ]
city and out to th: beautifjl Peach
Orchards, but by the way the Writer
discovered that there were more
peaches in Fort Val'ey than those
grown on trees; from the fact that I
never in my life saw us many pretty
women. That night there was a Ban-1
quet and flow of wit and oratory that is*
seldom if ever seen in this country
You can form some idea of wh.it I mean
when I mention Such Speakers a.
Brar.nsn, Brown. S eppard. Summer—

others. The Veteran Knight and D. D
G. C. of Milledgeville Lodge hein; the
last Speaker. It goes beyou. d saying j an( j Sunday with Prof 0. M
that it was the Crowning effort of the
evening and such will never again be
heard in those Halls. He displayed the
oratory of a Caes >r the learning of a
Demosthenes •*n'* the ingenuity of a
Caesar. If time had been granted him
he would have played It Munchausen
role to a turn. The next convention
will be held in Forsyth in August next
and every one is looking forward to it
with pleasure.

Local And Personal
INTHECAiE!!! COUNTY COMMISSIONER
There aro now easily a dozen can
didates for the position of commissioner
of roads and revenue in Baldwin county.
Only threeof these can bo elected. There
may be a tie, in fact such a thing is
quite probable and this would necessi
tate another primary, under usual rules
governing such cases.
But these problems are theoretical—
that is the last one is—and whut the
people are more concerned about than
anything else is in the matter of good
roads, the reduction of taxes and the
wise expenditure of money. There is
no doubt but that Baldwin county's
present policy in regards to good roads
is something invaluable.
Tho group of candidates as n whole
are men of sterling worth and individ
ually there can hardly be any fault to
find, but all man have ideas and opin
ions. Baldwin county needs progres
sive men at the helm Just at this time
it faces a problem which requires con-
servativism also. But all those quali
ties may be seeuied.
In the first place we want road build
ers.
Secondly we want men who can man
age affairs.
Thirdly we want men who will take
aggressive steps.
1 he county right now faces four years
of added indebtedness of $5,0i)J per year
to finish paying for the court house I
bonds. These bonds were issued with
out a sinking fund provided and at a
time when the taxable property of the
county was not half as great as now.
A bond issue of $50,0 0 will meet these
emergencies. Taxes will drop to al
most half what they are now. Perma
nent road construction will he made
possible and advancement will be noted
everywhere. Of tlfis sum $20,000 can
ho used in taking up ttie old bonds and
the additional $30,000 can be used on
roads and improving the court house.
That is a movement that the people
will sanction. Twenty years from now
There must be something really en
ticing in the 1 Itice of county commis
sioner in Baldwin county. In The News
today may ho found a dozen announce
ments for the three positions. Good
men, too. inosi of them, men who could
handle the affairs of the county admir
ably.
Just because there arc so many good step to bring about the desired solution
