The Harvest Song.
I.
It’s sing a song of harvest in the sun
light and the dew,
Where the world is like a picture ’neath
a living sky of blue;
A sopg that echoes sweet,
Till you hear the world’s heart beat
In the thrilling air around you, and
the grasses at your feet: '

It’s sing a song of harvest: The sum
mer days were long,
But they led to fair fruition where the
harvest is a song;
A. song whose music fills
All the valleys and the hills—
That twinkles in the sunlight and rip
ples in the rills, 9

It’s sing a song of harvest: Let the

An answer to earth’s sorrows, a solace
for its sighs;
Earth’s riches reaped and stored—
^ Toil’s welcome and reward:
Love and toil have made the haivest,
and love c£ life is lord! .

An Essay on Newspapers.
A 12-year-old boy in a Western
school prepared an essay on “The
Newspaper” which he recontly read
at the Friday aft* ruoon's lit<r:ry
exercises. The essay contaius much
originality, if not chunks of wis
dom and information. Following
are some extracts:
“Newspapers are sheets of paper
on which stuff to read is printed.
The men look over it to see if their
names is on it. I don’t know how
newspapers came into the world. I
don’t thfrik God does. The Bible
says nothing about editors, and I
never heard of one being in Heaven.
The first editor I ever heard of was
the fellow who wrote about the
flood. He has been here ever since.
Some editors belong to the
church, and some try to raise whis
kers- All of them raise h 11 in

Will Judge Lewis Resign?
Atlanta, Ga., August 30.*—It is
understood that the resignation of
Justice Lewis, of the supreme court
will be forthcoming next week.
Pope Barrow, of Savannah, told
Governor Candler today that he
did not want the place and the
race therefore narrows down to
George Gober, John Candler and
Judge Branham, if the governor
has the appointing power. If the
resignation is to take effect im
mediately, a new judge will be se
lected by a general election.
Governor Candler announced /
today that lynchings were op the
decrease in the state, as were
crimes of , assault. There have
been bat few calls for troops to
prevent lynchings this year.
The Swainsboro Blade says:
“The Darien Gazette predicts that
there will not be a single negro in
the next Georgia legislature. It
sounds a little funny to the peo
ple up in these parts to think that
a negro would ever be elected to
the legislature m Georgia.-—Ex.
The Marietta Journal says.* “If
you know any items of news kind
ly let us know It . We know that
you kpow v news ; that w;e
don’t know. And we know
that you know we " don’t
know it; still you know that you
don’t let ub know what you know
you know that we’ll let you know
what we know and also what you

what they know, what you know,
