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. Robertson, B.

Craig is to con tinue as editor and business man ager, and Mr. Guy Ciopton will remain local editor. Sometime ago there was a disagreement be tween Messrs Dean and Craig, the principal owners, and they said some hard things about each other, but their differences have become reconciled, and they have joined forces with the above mentioned gentlemen.- | It is understood that Col. Dean will erect a new building upon his vacant lot between the Hudson house and the Woman’s Rest* and that the Eagle office will be moved from its present quarters into it. 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.” toberts Family, of Falls City, Neb., Are Healthy and Happy—A Bare Sight in These Days.

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. J. W. Cox, will be opposed by M. McNeal, who ran him a close sec ond two years ago. For county treasurer this offic ial, F.M. Tumlin, will likely be 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 posal, and to assist her to find a comfortable room or two in £*»b 9 home of a family where the rent wi 11 bje an accep t a b 1 e addition to the income, to furnish the new place tastefully and thoughtfully, is an easy task.
