Here is the letter to The Georgian: Editor The Georgian: It was my good fortune to spend last Sunday in your beautiful, prosperous city. It is a "revela tion” to a Northern man to visit Atlanta, the “Chicago of the South ( land.” Ido not believe there is another city in the co|#itry of its . size that can show the same num ber of autos. Prosperity is appar -1 ent on every hand, and every Northern man will rejoice at At lanta’s prosperity. On the evening of last Sunday I ■ attended service in one of your great Methodist churches. The pastor was cultured, eloquent, 1 earnest. But I was pained to see 1 the disrespect of the members of the choir. At the close of prelimi nary- sen-ices to the sermon two of the singers left the choir. The or -1 ganist and two members of the quartet remained. Just at a point when the pastor was striving hard to press home ’ great truths to his congregation, 1 one of the quartet (a woman), who ■ had been holding a lively- whispered conversation with the organist, also a woman, threw a. handker chief over her face and rushed out of the choir loft to enjoy her laugh. The organist then turned her at tention to the only remaining mem ber of the choir, a gentleman, who plainly did not enjoy- her attentions, and kept up her whispering and smiling, even through the prayer following the sermon. It was painful—truly it was. I was surprised to see It in the South, where, I have always been told, that the very highest refinement prevails. It certainly negatives the splendid efforts of the earnest, cul tured pastor of that great church. THE STRANGER WITHIN THE • GATES. WEBSTER COUNTY BOYS RAISE CORN AT PROFIT PRESTON, GA..

And the wonderful thing about a girls’ basket ball game is that she ha all the accuracy, sometimes more, than the man in throwing goals. The basket ball is thrown always with tile peculiar overhand motion that always distin guishes the woman's throw’ from the man’s. Roys have to learn to throw all over again when the} take up baske: ball. It is natural to the girls. On this account, while the girls could never compete with a male team, on account of the roughness, the}- are nev ertheless probably playing a more fin ished product of the sport. 5
