Mrs. J. L. Beeson Author of Book
On Sidney Lanier at Oglethorpe
From the press this week comes, riety bought twenty-five spittoons,
a bock by Mrs. J. L. Beeson, which, Tobacco chpwing was the fashion
has already* created much favorable of those days,
comment from the advanced copies
that have already been shown.
Mrs. Beeson is one of the authori
ties on early Georgia history and has
made a study of the important
events and people who builded
Georgia. She has colected many
.elics, papers and early records and
it was a lost record that she dis
covered that inspired the book.
In the Atlanta Journal of Sunday
March 8, Harry Stillwrell Edwards in
i’.umn, “Coming Down My
Creek,” gives a review and report
of the new book. This article so
perfectly treats the book of Mrs.
Beeson's that we reprint it in full
with no further comment.
A Literary Treasure
A thin octavo volume of G1 pages
with the title, ‘’Sidney Lanier at
Oglethorpe University." from the
of J. W. Burke Company, Ma-
is the latest addition to the
history of Georgia's famous poet.
The new record book, in part,
answers the question where did La
nier get access to books that covered
his wide range of reading? The so
ciety got books from many sources,
it appears. As gifts, chiefly, but by
purchase from its own funds. One of
these a bocks lies today on the table
in the room occupied by Lanier in
Thaliar Hall. In addition to its own
library the society of course had ac
cess to the college library. It is
likely that the families of the mem
bers stripped their private libraries
for the benefit of Thalia.
For. as the names of these mem
bers reveal, they were, many of
them, prosperous, even wealthy
people. The honorary membership
covers every section of the south.
Many names therein, and in the
regular membership, were ilustri-
ous. There were represented great
planters, great lawyers, doctors and
divines. The writer of these lines

Jasper Luther Beeson,
J. H. Holder, Jr., son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Holder, of Hardwick,
suffered a painful and serious acci

cap exploded in his left hand.
The young boy was brought to the
City Hospital and it was necessary
to amputate the first joint of his
thumb, index finger and middle
finger. The injury was painful and
the consequences most serious. It
was said the boy found the cap in
the coal and was examing the cap
when it exploded.

The A Cappella choir composed of

their home concert on last Thursday

audience.
The choir sang twelve numbers,
all of them of a sacred nature and

to whom the books is dedicated.
The story is built up around
treasure trove, recently uncovered
by the author, which was
than the minutes book of Oglethorpe
College’s secret literary society
known as ‘‘Thalia,” of which
ney Lanier was once president. The
book holds the records of 1859.
1860, 1861, 1862 and 1863, when the
college exercises were suspended,
“temporarily.” But Oglethorpe’:
doors were never again opened a
Midway, in the suburbs of Miiledge
ville. It gave diplomas to the few
students cn hand, mere boys, before
suspending. Dr. Thomwell Jacobs
president of the new Oglethorpe in
Atlanta, said -the old Oglethorpe
bled to death on the field of battle.
The Thalians kept their record un
til the last minute. But two mem
bers were left to organize the last
meeting. They promptly elected and
initiated five or six young students,
transacted business and adjourned.
This bcok, uncovered by Mrs.
Beeson, completes the records o>
“Thalia,” which was organized in
1839. During its existence 317
members were enrolled in Thalia.
The records carry a list of the sub
jects debated during its twenty-five
years of life. The character of these
rcllect clearly the high character of
the Thalians. They were serious

smiles to the lips of the readers. As

and, aside Crcm Lanier, it is of great
value to hundreds of families in the
south, where ancestor worship stil

Mrs. Beeson’s little book is rcalfo
a work of genius. She has managed
to group the salient points of Ogle
thorpe history arou td the Thalians
and to give credit to the devoted men
and women who have rescued the
glories of the institution from ob

acquired the physical property of
