LAWRENCEVILLE.
[The following composition
was written by a student in the
Lawroncevillo Public School.]
Lawrencevilie. one of the old
est towns in North Georgia, is
located on the Seaboard Air
Line, about thirty miles north
east of Atlanta. It is connect
ed with the great Southern rail
way by a narrow-guage from
Ftmvaneo, known ns the Law
renceville Branch Railroad. It
s located on iho watHr-shed
vhicli separates the rivers flow
ng into the Gulf of Mexico
irom those which flow into the
[Atlantic Oceai., nnd has an
Hevation of over twelve him
dred feet. Its location and
high altitude are such as to
be a permanent guarantee of
the health of its citizens.
Lawroncevillo has never and.
from the topography of tin
country, can never have an ep
idemic.
This town was lnid off as tin
county seat of Gwinnett couutv
IV plifce was selected on a -
count of its central location,
neulthy surroundings and tin
many springs of pure free-stone
water which gushed out of al
most every hillside- It hap
pened to be on lands owned by
Mr. Elisha Winu. He very
generously donated several acres
to the town for public purpos
es Our magnificaut court
house, splendid public school
building, Methodist and Pres
byterian churches and the Ma
sonic hall all stand upon ltiud
given by Mr. Winn.
Our town was named for Com
modore Lawrence, of Revolu
tionary fume, w ho, dying in the
trnis of victory, uttered with
his expiring breath the immort
al word*, “Don’t give up the
ship!” This dying declaration
of Lawrence has since become
the rallying erv of American
seamen.
When our town was founded
there wasn’t n railway in all
the world.
Ours was a prosperous vil
lage before the crossroads now
occupied by Atlanta had ns
sumed sufficeut importance to
even bear (lie humble name of
Martliasville.
Prior to the civil war, Law
reneeville was the center of a
great deal of wealth, culture
and refinement. We hail one
of the fiuest cotton factories in
the South. It was several sto
ries high, built of stone, und
equipped with the finest ma
chinery the age afforded. While
the population of Lawrenceville
has rarely ever exceeded one
t lousaud, it has always been
composed of energetic and pro
gressive people.
Situated iu that belt of raou
tal activity, the Piedmont re
gion, our town has been the
sene of many a forensie eom
bat In ante-bellum days our
court bouse square has resound
ed with the eloquence of Ste
vens, Toombs, Hill and the
Cobbs.
As the history of a town. is
but the aehievment of its peo
pie, you will pardon mo for
dwelling upon the citizenship
of Lawrenceville, When the
war cloud hovered over our
Southland there was no town
(of equal population) from the
Potomac to the Km Grande,
that did more to strengthen the
cause of the youog Confederacy.
Our factory wove the cloth and
•ur women made many of the
uniforms for the Boys in Grey.
Our young men hastened to the
rout, and some of them are
sleeping ou Virginia’s hills.
After the cruel war was over,
the Lawrenceville boys who sur
vived the t-rrible struggle re
turned to their nativo heath,
and amid the desolation of old,
historic cultured Lawrenceville
they laid the sou .datious of
our modern, progressive, enter
prising little city. H'.w well
they buiided, our public build
ings, churches, hotels, brick
stares and private residences
ully attest. Our eonrt house
jail sod Ewing's hotel ere in
deed models of their kind
With prohibition throughout
utr county, with throe church

Presbyterian—and two frater

strictest sense of that word, be

palatial building, modern equip
ment and splendid corps ot
teachers, offers every induce
ment to the home seeker who
desires to educate his children
in an atmosphere of culture,
refinement and morality.
Lawrencevilie has two news
papers, the Gwinnett Herald
and the Lawrencevilie News
consequently both sides of even
issue will never fail to lie rep
resented.
We have a strong bank, post
office. money order department,
a fire proof warehouse, and an
up-to-date livery stable.
Our splendid railway, tele
graphic, banking and warehouse
facilities are such as to make
Lawrencevilie one of the best
cotton markets in Georgia. Our
town buys several thousand
bales of cotton annually, and
our enterprising merchants sup
ply the farmers every year with
several thousand dollars worth
of goods.
We confidently look forward
t t! time when our town will
b ive electric lights, water works,
a telephone exchange and n
cotton factory. May her nil
terial prosperity be second only
to the intelligence and morality
of her people.
Nothing adds more to the
town than her good schools.
One cannot be reared in hor
borders and say they never had
tlic opportunity for obtaining
an education. A splendid build
ing, well situated, affords room
for the large, prosperous and
increasing school, which is tin

JOYOI'9 DEDICATION' AT
ORPHAN’S HOME.
PHAN HALT, - WILT, lILKSS MANY
111 >M It I Kss On PH A NH.
Severn I hundred friends from
Atlanta, Decatur and suburbs
gathered in the beautiful new
Dean Hall in Decatur for its
dedication to housing little or
phan girls The addresses of
Drs. 11. C. Mortison and W. P
Lovejov were eloquent and pow
erful presentations of the need
and blessings of such work.
The joyous faces of the or
plians there gathered from over
all North Georgia was reflected
in the heart-smiles of the many
contributors to the home who
were present. The Trustees
named this generous gift of
Mr. W, 11. Dean in honor of
his wife, the “Mrs. Fauuie S.
Dean Hall,” and it will snuggle
forty little homeless girls in its
warm white beds, also the gift
of dear friends from over North
Georgia.
The dining hall below, long
needed, was then dedicated by
a dinner to their friends, the
food haviug been rais'd ou the
farm bv the orphans, and pre
pared iu the kitchen by them.
It was a tront and a surprise to
nil, that children Of stich ten
der years did so much to their
own support, under the loviug,
wise management of Father and
Mother Taylor, The happy,
healthy orphans, one death in
27 years, the appearanee of
thrift and enterprise, encourage
the friends to give of their
money, for it will be well used.
Last year at this time the new
Boys’ Home was dedicated; it
is long over full, and this one
will soon be full. God’s “little
ones’’ must not suffer.
The pretty Dean Ilal! in the
beautiful autumn tinted grove,
with the bright, happy, Chris

and their support of the or
phans will be a p! asure.

HOW IT ALL HAPPENED.
He w as in doubt.
There was no particular rea
son why lie should lie in doubt,
but, of course, that has nothing
to do with the case. I p ton
certain poiht in the courtship
it is the privilege of every lover
to lie in dcubt, and if lie were
not he would be tempted to be
lieve something was wrong.
Oil this particular evening In
made up his mind that he would
reach the point where doubt
ends or know the reason why.
Thus it happened that he got
a little closer to her than usual,
when he found that they were
sitting side by side on the sofa.-
“Did you ever think about
marriage ?” lie asked.
“No,” she replied.
Of course, that was a lie. Of
course, lie knew that it was a
lie, and she knew that he knew
it. Consequently she wished
that she hadn’t answered so
hastily; but- that is so customa
ry to a woman that it should
attract no attention.
‘ “If 1 were a woman like you.’
he said reproachfully, “I would
think of it.”
“Would you ?” she inquired
carelessly.
“Yes, I would,” he answered
agresiively.
“Perhaps," she suggested
tautaliziugly, “you wouldu’t
iniud telling me just what
course your 1 hougbt-s would take
—if you were a woman like
me.”
“I don’t kuow that I can give
the exact course of reasoning,"
he answered, fearful that he
might be getting Imyond bis
depth, “but if I were a woman
like you I feel pretty reasonab y
sure that I would marry a man
like—or —like me. ”
“You do ?” she sai l, coloring
a little, but still speaking iti
the same tantalizing tone.
“Yes, I do,” he returned dog
gedly.
“Well, if I were a man like
you,” she assorted, “I wouldn’t
expect. a wotniiij like me to do
anything of the sort until a
man like von bad asked her to.'
It is no trick at all to hold
the course of true love after

SAVANNAH’S GRETNA
GREEN.
i From the Savannah News.
Just across the river Sark, in
1 Dumfries, Scotland, lies one of
j the most famous little villages
jin the world. Gretna Green is
known everywhere as the place
| where loving young couples go
j to get married with or without
(the consent of parents nr guar
; dians, and without the necessity
! complying with more or less of
burdensome laws. The place
I first became famous away bark
. in seventeen hundred and some
thing, when England changed
j her marriage laws in a manner
calculated to blight the hopes
jof many loving English youths
j and maidens. To circumvent
! tin* laws, the young people skip
ped across the border into Scot
land: and love laughed to legis.
lators ns well as at locksmiths.
Scions of some of the famous
i families of old England slipped
away t-o Grenta Green, and
returned married folks.
Just across - the Savannah
river in South Carolina lies
I Ridgeland, the Gretna Green of
I this section. In South Carn
j lina the marriage laws are ex
| tremely liberal. Entrance into
I the connubial state is emtourag
jud in every manner possible.
Anybody can perform a biml
\i ig marriage ceremony, before
! witnesses, though in accordance
; with custom the marrying btisi-
I ness is conducted almost exclu
sively by ministers, justices ot
I the peace and notaries public.
If a couple jump over a broom
j stick toget her in .South Carolina
and acknowledge to others that
it means they are married, the
[courts will hold them to be le
gally married, and all of tin*
law in the state cannot unmarry
them. Everything iu the way
of marriage “goes” in South
Carolina, but nothing what
ever conies back. Onca mar
ried, forever married is the law
1 in that state.
Kidgeland, where marriage is
easy, is visited by young |wo
p'e of this city who cangot g»'t
ills necessary permission from
parents or others to get married
of who cannot afford a fashion
able wedding at home or in
church. In Ridgelaud the lov
ing hearts can be joined without
fuss or feathers, and .for only
a small outlay. The place is
only a bit over thirty miles out
of town hence there is not much
troubles in getting there and
back.
The residents of the little
Carolina Gretna Green have
come to be very good etudonts
of human nature. Whenever a
resident of the village sees a
bashful looking young man ac
compained by a blushing young
woman get off the train the resi
dent knows at once what is up
The resident, most likely.,
with good will and heurtiiiess,
asks the couple if they desire
the services of a minister or
justice. Receiving an aflirilla
tive reply, a free ride is giving
the billing doves to nearest
marrying niau, and the couple
are made one in time t > take
the next, traiu back to'the city,
or to g.i on no extended bridal
tour to Charleston. *
Kidgeland is doubtless a
pleasant memory to some Geor
giiian* who get that way, while
to othi rs it is not. However,
the people there are kind and
courteous and law abiding, mid
take pleasure in doing what
they can do to promote the
hajipineMs of others.

WOIIK 1 ok MISSIONS AS A BKAUTI
HER .
It has been said that the mis
sionary work is a beautifier,
and my observation proven the
statement true.
Bishop Fitzgerald once said
to me: “I can tell a Christian
hy the out of the eye.” I he
lieve I can tell a missionary
worker even before she speaks!
I here is an earnestness of man
ner, a chastened expression on
the brow and a light in the eye
that we do not see in the faces
of other women.
To the young women in search
o f true beauty I unqualifiedly
recommend the missionary
work a* a remedy for homeli
ness. In this work you will
find the fountain of youth.
“Thy youth shall ho renewed as
■ the eagle’s.” In it you will
find the elixir of life: the life
as it is in Jesus; the life ns it
Mows down from Ihe great Heart
of Love, down through Christ
into your life; the life that will
quicken every energy; that will
make your “feet -will and
beautiful” for the Master; that
will make your hands move at
the impulse of His love; that
will (ill your lips with truth
and grace, and till them “with
messages for the King.” It
will enlarge and warm vour
heart: it will cause your cheeks
to glow , and your eyes to spar
kle, and a new light to shine in
your face.
Dr. Candh-r has said he
“longs to see.au old-fashioned
woman; one who stays at home
and minds the children.” I
want to affirm that the home in
which wife or mother or si-tor
faithfully carries out the spirit
of the missionary work loses
- nothing, but gains much. In*
! deed our best missionary woib
j srs make the most- energetic
j housekeepers, the most eonipe
tent mothers, the most dutiful
wives, the most useful workers
and the brightest lights in the
church. Their influence ceases
not with tho home circle, but
goes beyond; even beyond the
pale.of her.own church—out
into the highways and byways;
nut not only beyond her own
city and county, but ov-r the
seas until it reaches the utter
most parts of tlie earth. To
the young man in search of n
wife 1 would say the missionary
society is the place to look for
her. There you will find the
material of whi ;li well-rounded
characters and perfect wives
are made; there you will find
all that is beautiful in woman
aud most desirable in a help
mate —Extracts from Mrs. C.
K. Moore’s missionary address
to the South Atlanta District
meeting.
Miss Mary Shockley, of
Auiencus, Ua., fists cnlleil to
the missionary work, anil op
portunity is open for her to go
to Young Harris and prepare
herself for the training school.
This has been the earnest desire
rs her In art for several years,
aud everything that we have
been able to hear of Miss Shock
