"Mothers 5 Meeting^’’for Magazine.
In the current number of The
Ladies’ Home; Journal is begun a
new and rather novel department
which is called ’’Mothers* Meet
ings,” and which is to treat solely
the subject of the proper education
of children. It is the outgrowth of
editorials on this subject which
have appeared from time to time
m the The Journal, and in it will
be printed the actual experience of
parents who have learned from
experience the criminality of the
modern “cramming” system at
schools, and the evils arising from
late hours, or social evenings for
children at home. The desire is
that this department shall be
contributed by readers of the mag
azine.

but their differences have become

forces with the above mentioned
gentlemen.- |
It is understood that Col. Dean
will erect a new building upon his
vacant lot between the Hudson

that the Eagle office will be moved

Turned Joke On Judge Bleckley.
One of the best ones ever told
on Judge Logan E. Bleckley,
Georgia’s famous ex-chief justice
and erstwhile college student, was
the story of the experience with a
New York bootblack, as told by
himself.
According to the Athens Ban
ner, the bootlack wanted to shine
Judge Bleckley’s , shoes. The
judge told the boy he didn’t want
a shine,|but that he would give
him a dime if he would buy soap
and wash his face. The boy took
the dime, at the same time taking
a good look at the judge’s long
hair.
Presently the bootblack came
back, his face clean and his eyes
beaming. Imitating the judge’s
tone of voice he offered bkn a
quarter with the words:
“Take that and get a haircut.”

many, and because some are so
needy. These homes won’t admit
any who can get along without
their help. Still they must help
many.
Among the thirty seven appli
cations to the Decatur home in
the past two months we give a
few concisely stated appeals.
From Butts county three little
ones asked a helping hand, for
their mother had just died in the
insane asylum, and their “rowdy”
father had gone to parts unknown.
The tongues of these little chil
dren revealed by their oaths their
terrible need of help.
Clark county sends a sweet,
bright girl whose father is an es
caped convict, and oi course can
do nothing for the family and the
poor ignorant mother knows noth
ing by which to support her fam
ily. So she must have part of her
children cared for temporarily.
Baldwin county sends two fine
boys, whose father is dead and
their mother hopelessly insane.
Paulding county sends four, whose
father and mother are each in
their graves, and their aged grand
father, a most earnest Christian,
was paralyzed while leading a
prayer meeting and > he lies help
less trusting God for his daily
bread. Dalton sends a fine boy,
a full orphan, without a home, a
penny or a friend able to help.
. These few appeals indicate the
great work these Orphans’ Homes
of Georgia are doing for helpless
children who are practically or
phans. They are training hands,
heads and hearts so that they will
make useful citizens. These
Homes deserve the liberal support
ot the public whom they serve.
ict of the late E. A. Kiser,
died at the home of her daughter,
Mr. T. H. Thomas, on Athens
street, this city, last Monday af
ternoon at the age of 77 years.
She was a conscientious Christian
woman,.and had been a member
of the Baptist church for forty
years. She is survived by one son,
Mr. Reuben Howington, and three
daughters, Mrs. T. H. Thomas,
Mrs. J. C. Wallace and Mrs. R.
N. Majors, all of Hall county.
The funeral services were held at
Hopewell church Wednesday af
ternoon at 2 o’clock and her re
mains were interred in the church
cemetery.* A large concourse of
people gathered to pay a last trib
ute to her memory. Peace to her
ashes.

For county treasurer this offic

opposed by Messrs* A. B. C. Dor
sey, and the old-time treasurer
for twenty years, J. R. Boone.
The offices of coroner and survey
or will likely not go a-begging,
although so far no one has % been
mentioned for either place. The
present coroner has decided to run
for treasurer and the present sur
veyor wants to giv9 up his job.
WHO WILL SUN.
We Don’t Think Enough of the Old
People.
We do not consider seriously
enough here in the United State?
the comfort and dignity and Hap
piness of old people. The widowed
mother of a prosperous man is
often seen haunting the house of
a son or a daughter like a ghost.
She has no place there, no work,
no interest, no old friends, andthe
aged find it hard to make new
friends. It is selfiish and
inconsiderate for a son to thus
treat his mother. She is unhappy,
andthe cause of unhappiness in
those about her. Where means do
not permit the* settling, of old
people in homes of their own it is
still possible to make them com
paratively independent. To raise a
small sum and place it at her dis
