Miss Dooley in Sunday’s Constitu
tion, gave Miss Edna Cain quite a
complimentary notice. She spoke so
highly of her wonderful success as
an editor, stating that this success
was the direct result of Miss Cain’s
pluck, energy and determination.
Here is a young girl, who in <1 wo
manly manner, has assumed the
huge responsibilties of a weekly pa
per, and is not afraid to risk tier
opinions in sensible editorials on all
current subjects. The paper can be
none other than a success for its
young editor has put into it all her
own originality of thought, her vi
vacity of expression and a general
spice of inspiring enthusiasm. There
is an earnestness and depth of
thought, too, which wins admiration
from appreciative readers. Miss
Katherine Cain has, in her father’s
illness, assumed control of the Sum
merville News and is managing it
skillfully. These two girls have in
vaded the domain of man, and in
stead of censure, receive the hearty
commendation and good will of co
workers.

The Saturday Review, that ad
mirably edited paper, will soon issue
a large edition in the interest of the
Winnie Davis memorial fund. It is
the purpose of the Georgia Division
of the Daughters of the Conferacy to
build an annex either to the Georgia
Normal at Athens, or to the Indus
trial School at Millegeville, and a
grander way of perpetuating the
memory of Winnie Davis cannot be
conceived of. A great deal of pains
will be taken to make the issue su
perbly attractive and interesting, and
we doubt not that, with such talent
and ability as its editors possess, it
will be a great success.

DOWN BY THE PASTURE GATE.
Written for the Dalton Argus.
When the sun Is sinking
Fur down in the west,
Then my heart is drinking
Bliss with rapture blest,—
Fur I’m always standing
Between six and eight—
Talking to my sweetheart
Down by the pasture gate.
And if the cows are late nt home,
As they so often are.
1 plead with her in vain to say
“All's fair in love and war.”
And now she says they start her
An hour sooner or so
To drive those cows from pasture.
But they're just too lazy to go
And to give them time litis maiden
Is obliged to stop and wait.
And talk to me of their slowness
Down by the pasture gate.
But in the fall this lassie
Resigns her place yon know,
And as my housekeeper she
Can't be pleased ’cause
The cows v.oti'lgo.
But we’re still to spend at leisure
The time between six and eight,
Renewing the old love talks,
Down by the pasture gate
Alcakia.

A NEW COLLAR.
The lamentation which from time
to time has gone up, that the throats
of women were being ruined by the
high, heavy ribbon collars which
have been worn so much for the past
year or two, has at last stirred up
some French modiste to invent a sub
stitute collar which is equally high
but much cooler and more comforta
ble. In the current number of Har
per’s Bazar the following description
is given of the new invention:
“It consists in having the collars
unlined, doing away entirely with
the stiff crinoline and canvas that
have formed the principal part of
most stock-collars and the collars of
ordinary gowns as well. They are
still high—in fact, these collars have
the long points behind (he ears, are
trimmed around the edge with a
dainty ruffle of narrow lace, and are
made of tucked or pleated mousse
line de soie chiffon or lace. They
have absolutely no lining whatever
in most cases, although occasionally
a very thin lawn lining is inserted
for the Silke of neatness, as of course
the lining can easily be taken out,
washed, and replaced. The collar is
kept in shape by short whalebones.
These are put up to the edge of the
points, of which there are one on
either side at the back of the neck,
but none in front.”
