SCHOOL COMPOSITIONS. My Favorite Study. Gordon Rogers, 9th Grade Perry Public School. This is a subject that I have often debated in my own mind, and have often heard others discuss it. So after hearing others and thinking myself, I have decided on astrono my. Astronomy is a study that will give one a higher opinion of our Maker and also aid us in our daily life. When we look at the heavens on a moonless night and see the myriads of small stars and think of their dis tance, number and size, we are awed to think that one hand made them all, and one eye guides them through the trackless sky, making them move by fized laws, and, as it seems, hold ing them in the hollow of His hand. Then astronomy lifts us above the low things of this earth. When we think of the beauty of the stars and their apparent purity, we think loft ier thoughts and our minds are pur er than they would otherwise have been. Then it aids the sailor in his long voyages; if he has studied astronomy he does not become so lonely as he would if he had not studied it. He can look at the stars and guide his ship safely to harbor if he gets off his course. Then on land the stars guide our clocks, assisting us in reg ulating them if they get wrong. The stars keep the best time of any of our watches; they move at an almost inconceivable velocity, yet they pass certain points in the sky at exactly the right time, showing us that we cannot make watches as good as the clocks that God has put in the sky. Again we feel our insignificance when we see the bright comets shoot across the sky, threatening the earth, yet guided by that same hand and eye that helps the lowly to heaven and sees every sparrow which falls to the earth. We learn the size, distance and features of all the larger planets and our .sun. We are taught their rate of traveling and at what time the sun is eclipsed. We leam about our moon, and are told that the moon was once like our earth, and that we will some day be like it, dead. Therefore, I think astronomy is my favorite' study. * * * Flowers.

Munroe, of Joliet, 111., who is secretary and treasurer of the Southern Cattle Company, which has just purchased 51;000 acres of land in Clinch with a view to making extensive improvements and establishing many new indus tries, chief among which will be the sugar refinery.

It bccurs to my mind that,/ this subject has been written on from ages back by little girls like myself, and larger ones, too, who are lovers of those beautiful things we call flowers, and as this is my first at tempt,.! hope to do as well as soma of the rest. Flowers are used for the dead, for when our loved' ones have passed away and are shrouded in their bur ial robes and carried to their last resting place, their graves are deco rated with wreaths of beautiful flow ers. If all children are like myself they are very fond of flowers, and I am inclined to think most of them are, for when the little babes first com mence walking over our Mother Eearth their little fingers are seen to pluck the lovely flowers by the way- side, or in the yard, or in the gar den, or wherever they may chance to be. Some fine flowers are used to ex tract some of our finest perfumes. .Of all my idle horns, there is nothing I like better than rambling over hills and dales hunting those lovely my subject—flowers. company, which has secured in ad dition to the 51,000 acres mention ed, an option on more than 100,000 acres more in the same locality. It is the intention of the promoters of this new enterprise to first saw the timber from the land and then put it in active cultivation. Cattle rais ing will be carried on extensively, and thousands of acres will be plant ed in sugar cane. The new enterprise which the company proposes to establish is ex actly along the line which the Geor gia commissioners of agriculture have been working for years past. The price paid for the land was just a little over $1 per acre, it is said, though the same land in Illinois and other western states would cost any where from $75 to $100. The plans for the operations of the new company are being formed rapidly, and Mr. Munroe expressed the opinion that he would have a doz en sawmills at wcrk within a year. : ‘let’s Let’s The Use Of A Name. A lazy liver may be only a tired liver, or a starved liver. A stick all right for the back of a lazy man. But it would be a savage as well as a stupid thing to beat a weary man or a starving man because he lagged in his work; So in treating the lag ging liver it is a great mistake .to lash it with drastic drugs. In nine ty-nine cases out of a hundred a tor pid or sluggish liver is but a symp tom of an ill-nourished body, whose organs are weary with over-woik. Let your liver alone. Start with the stomach and its allied organs of di gestion and nutrition. Put them in proper working order, and see how quickly your liver will become active and energetic. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvelous cures of “liver trouble” by its wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re stores the normal activity of the' stomach, increases the secretions of the blood-making glands, cleanses the system from poisonous accumu lations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs. Going, down the road in North Carolina the other day, says W.E. Curtis in the Chicago Record Her ald, lac costed a bright-looking lit tle colored girl, and inquired her name. “Virginia Alabama Mississippi Benson,” she said, so hurriedly that I had to ask her to repeat it several times, and I failed to dis cover how so insignificant an atom in this great universe had roceived such a tremendous title. Learn ing that she lived in a little cabin near by, I inquired of her mother. ‘So’s to ’member th’ places we’ve lived at,” was the reply, and futher questioning drew out the interesting fact that the child had been made a family record and christened so that her parents might not forget the names of the states in which they had resided.
