Brown takes a genuine delight in collecting things quaint nnd curious, and particularly those that tell of jamm b xrvix days in Georgia’s political history long dead and gone. As a matter of fact, there are two distinct and sepa rate Joseph M. Browns one is the governor, who knows he is the governor, the de light of his friends and the despair of his foes, and the other Is a sort of old-fashioned gen tleman. rather in clined to like old fashioned ways and old-fashioned folks—-an altogether likable, interesting, and very much out of the ordinary person, and one whom the casual observer would not imme diately set down ns the executive of one of the great states of the nation Knowing the governor’s weakness for collecting the quaint and curious, as aforesaid, some of his friends take pleasure in helping him along in the game, and one of them sent him the other day a copy of The Atlanta Her ald of January 6. 1883, which, besides a complimentary write-up of the then business man Joseph M. Brown, con tains much that is Interesting—partic ularly to Atlantans who recall the days when The Herald flourished. The paper was edited by Small (Sam W.) and Williams (C. H.) It compares in typographical appearance altogether creditably with newspapers of today, but its methods of handling the news and its physical make-up ere things of the long ago. This particular newspaper, which seems to have been a sort of special edition, contains the pictures of many famous Georgians, dead these many, many years There are pictures of Judge W. R. Hammond. Stale Librarian F. L. Haral son, Commissioner of Agriculture John T. Henderson, ex-Governor Benjamin Conley (who became governor when Rufus Bullock, the last of the recon struction governors, abdicated his hon ors), Colonel L. P. Grant and such well known associate railway mag nates of the early days of railroading in Georgia as E. P. Alexander, L. N. Trammell. G. J. Foreacre, and E. W. Cole. Among the newspaper lights of those days appear, with appropriate sketches, the pictures of W. A. Hemphill, Joe) Chandler Harris. Evan P. Howell, Hen ry W. Grady, Charles H. Smith (Bill Arp) and N. P. T. Finch. Besides Colonel Trammell, whose pic ture heretofore is mentioned, there are the likenesses of Major Campbel) Wal lace (whose descendant and namesake is now the efficient secretary of the commission) and former Governor James M. Smith- and these three com posed Georgia's first railroad commis sion. Other Georgians receiving honorable mention in this issue of The Herald I were Patrick Walsh, then editor of The Augusta Chronicle, and afterward United States senator from Georgia; Senator Alfred H. Colquitt, a former governor; Benjamin Crane, a pioneer in the commercial activity of Atlanta, and H. I. Kimball, the man who built both the old and the present Kimball House the greatest and grandest ho tel in Dixie in the days of its (creator. Under the head of "Personal Para graphs," one may And in this old news paper such items as these “H. D, McDaniel (afterward gov ernor) is at the Kimball "General Phil Cook went to Washington yesterday. “General Jubal Early is at the Kimball. "Ed Cox, a distant relative of the governor, was pardoned by Govern or Stephens today.” Under another heading. "Talk of the Town." it may be observed that things then were not so different in Atlanta, in some ways, from what they are to day. I The reader is informed that: "Atlanta's harvest is mud. "A mud scow passed up the ca nal on Marietta street today, right in front of the capitol. 'The voting today for constable was very light, few caring to brave the elements to help another man into office. "The West End street cars being submerged at the Peters street crossing.

Among the advertisements appear those of the DeGive Opera house (now the Bijou) announcing the coming of Frank Mayo in "Davy Crocket.” Katie Putnam in "Lena, the Madcap," Char lotte Thompson in “Jane Eyre,” Baker and Farrow in “Chris and Lena,” and Mme. Christine Nilsson in “one grand concert,” assisted by Miss Hope Glenn, contralto; M. Theo. Biorksten and Sig. Giuseppe Del Puente. P. H. Snook was selling furniture in those days and advertising it heavily; and Langston, Crane & Co were cotton factors. James A. Anderson was sell ing clpthing, but was stingy with news paper space, only occupying some two Inches to apprise the public of that fact. Apparently, the advertising game had not yet become a big factor in the commercial life of Atlanta, for the busi ness ads are few and far between in The Herald of 1883. The only houses advertised in this paper that still are engaged in busi ness in Atlanta are Phillips & Crew, piano dealers, and the National Surgical Institute. It Is interesting to note, from a read ing of the railroad schedules printed, that one might leave Atlanta at 1 o’clock in 1883 and reach Chattanooga at 9 that night, if things went as they were framed up to go. Two or three of the editorial para graphs will serve to show the temper of the times some thirty years ago. Witness these samples: “General Grant Insists upon the passage of a Nicaragua canal scheme. First time we ever heard of Grant being interested in a wa ter scheme. "While the legislature of Ten nessee was considering an increase in the state treasurer’s bond, he quietly increased his salary to M’A' 000, and skipped to pastures new. "It makes little difference to the people of Georgia which faction of the Republican party gets recog nition in Washington. What we want is an administration that will not recognize either of them.” The editors of The Atlanta Herald of the 80's would have felt better, of course, could they have looked forward with prophetic eye to today, and the certainty of an administration in Washington guaranteed to "turn the rascals out!"

Do not think me drunk; I am myself.” Another note to a young woman with whom he was in love, was withheld.

A certain woman kept one of, if not, the largest houses on Me chanic Street. Her all was invested in it. She saw it swept away by the order of Chief Beavers. She was bewildered; her means of living gone and thousands of dol lars lost. WHAT COULD SHE DO? Another woman, who, by hard work, supports herself and family, offered her shelter in the name of Jesus Christ; the mother of the wom an, who works, gave up her room that the woman, who had fallen, might have a place to stay. Jesus was calling her back to life. Not without a struggle did she yield; restless, she went to Birming ham to find a new place for her old business; she considered starting a moving picture show. She came back to the home of the woman who worked. Jesus was calling. And, after nights of fighting and prayer, she heard and obeyed. A FEW DAYS AGO, WITHOUT A SUGGESTION FROM ANY ONE. SHE CAME TO OUR OFFICE; SHE PUT TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, ALL THAT SHE HAD, INTO THE HANDS OF THE MAN IN CHARGE AND SAID: “I WANT TO GIVE THIS TO JESUS TO START A MARTHA’S HOME FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS.” “What do you mean by a Martha’s Home?” She answered: “A home where girls may be taught to serve, to work honestly, to take care of themselves; a home to save them from the hog’s life of the houses that I have known; a home where, whatever has happened elsewhere, whatever others may say and do, those who have fallen will know that shelter, kindness and love await them. And I want to give myself with the money to help.” Every obstacle short of a positive refusal to take her money was placed by a committee especially appointed for the purpose in her way; she was asked what she would do for a living in the event her con nection with the home was severed, as its management would be whol ly in the hands of those whom she could not control. Her answer was: “Jesus will take care of me. I can earn a living by the sweat of my brow.” Long ago, in the house of«one named Martha, of another woman who did a work of love for Him despite the sneers of Judas, who loved the clink of gold, Jesus said: “She hath done what she could.” And surely today He is saying of this woman in Atlanta, “She hath done what she could.” Have you, who li /e only upon your wages? And you in moderate circumstances, have you? And you in your ease and plenty, have you done what you could? CONSIDER, NOT IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT MEN MAY SAY, BUT IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT GOD HAS INTRUSTED TO YOU. HAS HE GIVEN YOU THE ABILITY TO HELP? One day, centuries ago, Jesus was seated by the treasury in the temple. “And there came a poor widow and she cast in two mites. He said to His disciples, ‘Verily, I say unto you, this poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury; for they did cast of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.’ ” This woman of Atlanta, from bitter experience, knows that women and girls have been lost, are being lost, and will be lost by the lack of a refuge such as she has asked us to establish. She does not give of her “superfluity.” For Christ’s sake, she has given herself and her all to found and maintain such a home. What will you place beside her twenty-five hundred dollars? How much will you give to help your fallen sisters? “SHE HATH DONE WHAT SHE COULD.” No one wishes, or will ask, you to do more than you are able. BUT YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU CAN. Do it now. Mark your check or subscription “For the establishment and main tenance of the Martha’s Home and Rescue Work Among Fallen Wom en,” and send it today to the Men and Religion Forward Movement, at the Young Men’s Christian Association Building. This home will neither supersede nor interfere with the Harriet Hawkes Home or the Florence Crittenton Home; but it will supple ment their work, co-operate with them and do that which they are neither expected nor able to do. It will facilitate their work. The Harriet Hawkes Home is t'o handle and save the wayward girl who is on the brink, but not yet over, particularly those who have not acquired a police court record. The Crittenton Home is primarily devoted to maternity cases, though always it offers help to the girl or woman who wants to reform; but it is neither designed nor equipped for this. THE MARTHA’S HOME WILL CARE FOR THOSE WHOM THE WORLD CALLS HOPELESSLY LOST; IT WILL WELCOME ALL WHO WILL COME. Judge Broyles will be able to send there a girl or woman on proba tion; the stockade would destroy her; to place her in a lodging house or back in her old haunts would make all good advice a waste of breath. But, under proper restraint, in a clean atmosphere, with women to love and lead her, she may learn again her place in the world as one of God’s children; she may be saved. The Martha’s Home will do this. YOU WILL HELP. God’s Law of life and love at work in your heart, and not the writ ten law of man, requires it. This woman “hath done what she could.” What will you do?
