THE DALTON ARGUS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1899.
Ip Feminine
BY MISS CLARABELLE FREEMAN.
The most popular noun in the Eng
lish language is, strange to say, the
silliest, the one forever in most fre
quent action—all over the world. A
simple word it is—kiss. The Romans
divided kisses into three classes, the
kiss of friendship, of politeness and
of love. The Greeks recognized but
one, the kiss of love. We of the
present date have the kiss of formal
ity, of respect, of adoration and of
love, not to mention the Hobson kiss,
the Judas kiss and such.
Not many people over twenty at
most, have forgotten the first kiss of
love. Fair nights and starry skies
come home to every heart. Who,
please, has not delivered at least one
kiss in hypocrisy? that is, a kiss
that was not exactly of reconciliation,
or respect or adoration? Kisses have
also played a most prominent part in
history. The celebrated kiss given
Cajsar by the conspirators, and the
historic one, which James I of Scot
land did not give to Anne of Den
mark, is familiar to all.
In romance and poetry they figure
far more prominently, and are some
times even selected as a theme. The
kiss which the angel took to the
pearly gates as atonement for a lost
soul will never be forgotten, while
everyone knows Byron’s “Long, long
kiss of youth and love, and his wish,
“Tbnt womahood had but one rosy month
To kiss them at once from north to south.”
Kisses have also appeared in liti
gation. Then there is the last kiss
which with bursting hearts we press
upon the cold, senseless clay, which
will never more respond to our ca
resses. But saddest of all is the kiss
of satiety. Who cannot tell the bit
terness of the wornout passion, the
jaded nerves, the touch of lips under
which witherail gladness,all joy, all
liberty. The trite caress, the hollow
ecstacy is, alas, almost as well known
as the kiss which Herrick defines as
“love’s sweetest language” and of
which the man or woman who has
never loved knows as little as the
inland dweller knows of the sea.
What will the scientists give us in
lieu of the time-honored kiss? Says
an exchange, “medical scientists tell
us that we may no longer kiss; that it
injures the health, and the evils re
sulting from the osculatory habit if
persisted in are set forth as ab lib
itum and ab nauseum ” Kissing has
beet), very proper all along, but prob
ably the people are thinking that
when the “bugs” begin to take it up
it is high time we discontinue.

The Sewing Circle was most charm
ingly entertained last Saturday by
Miss Annie Pruden. The invited
guests were Misses Ida Lou Milam,
Lucy Jones, Dell Berg and Jessie
Gaut. It was the most highly en
joyed meeting yet held. The re
freshments served were of the most
delicate and delicious choice.

A delightful impromptu musicale
was enjoved at Mrs. Lilian W. Car
ter’s Tuesday evening. Miss Berg, of
Jacksonville, rendered some ex
quisite selections. Miss Nell Moore
played in her always pleasing style,
and the male quartette sang as they
always do, most excellently indeed.
Those who happened in to enjoy the
music were, Misses Allie O’Neill,
Nell Moore, Jessie Gaut, Mattie Lee
Huff and Adele Berg; Messrs. Walter
and Tom Jones, Frank Smith, Jim
Huff, Julian Oglesby and Will
Moore.

In his review of Mr. Charles Dudley
Warner’s novel That Fortune, in the
current number of Literature, Mr.
■ W. D. Howells discusses at some
length the biography of American
girlhood. Certainly there has been
no greater change in any stock char
acter in fiction during the past forty
> years than in that of the American
girl. Beginning with Queechy and
The Wide, Wide World,Mr. Howells
goes through the list, past Mrs.
Whitney’s heroines and those of
Miss Louisa Alcott, pausing for a bit
to comment on the wave of Daisy
Mi Iler ism started by Henry James.
Mr. Warner’s heroine is like none of
these, and Mr. Howells is glad ac
cordingly. “1 rejoice in her with a
heart still young for heroines,” he
says,“and if I did not envy him for
it so much, I congratulate Mr. War
ner on having discovered in her a
sort of American girl which it was
high time somebody should natural
ize in our fiction.”.

The meeting of the Woman’s For
eign Missionary Society last Friday
evening was one of the most inter
esting of the season. It was con
ducted by Mrs. Julia Lester Dillon,
of Augusta. She delivered a most
elegant talk, concisely giving all the
particulars connected with the an
nual Epworth League Meeting at
Indianapolis some time ago. Miss
Head made a report to the ladies of
the meetings at Cassville. They
have decided to have the next “mite
box” report in September.

The girls in several southern Kan
sas towns have formed clubs and
pledged themselves never to marry a
young man unless he served with the
famous bloody Twentieth Kansas
regiment, which is on its way home
from the Philippines. The young
ladies say they are determined to
keep their agreement and that sooner
than marry a man that stayed at
home they will remain single all
their lives.

The committee appointed to find
homes for the delegates of the Home
Missionary Society, while here, held
a meeting Wednesday afternoon.
They have been altogether successful
in their undertaking. And the peo

In a recent issue, The Argus com
plimented a speech made by Con
gressman W. G. Brantley, of the
Eleventh District, at the press con
vention in Dublin, praising its
eloquence, the beauty of its thought
and his modest mein and matchless
voice. It has received this letter in
response to that compliment:
Brunswick, Ga., July 31,1899.
Mr. A. H Shaver, Dalton, Ga.
My Dear Siß.—Allow me to thank
you for your very handsome notice
of my response to toast at the Press
banquet in Dublin, which I have
just read in late number of The
Argus. I little thought my modest
effort would provoke such praise
from so high a source, and, while I
cannot plead guilty to the charge of
eloquence or admit my right to your
praise, I am, nevertheless mindful
and appreciative of the compliment
you pay me, and beg to acknowledge
my indebtedness for the same. It
will, at least, furnish incentive to
stronger and better endeavor in the
future. When I can serve you,
command me. With assurances of
great respect and esteem, 1 am
Sincerely yours,
W. G. Brantley.
The Argus does not usually print
these personal letters, and begs par
don for doing so now. It prints the
letter that its readers may see Will
Brantley as it sees him—a polished,
modest gentleman of worth and
merit, able and true —one of Georgia’s
coming men, a worthy successor to
the shoes of the noble Henry G.
Turner.
A Mother Tells How She Saved
Her Little Daughter’s Life
I am the mother of eight children and

nothing seemed to do her any good. I
saw by an advertisement in our paper

best medicines we ever had in the house

In Memoriam.
Forest Hill, Aug. 3.1899.
When the noblest and grandest
member of a community is by death
removed from its midst, it is meet
and proper for his neighbors and
friends to make some expression of
esteem, love and regret to each other
and the outside world.
The people around Forest Hill,
though their hearts are surcharged
with grief, pays the tribute that love
owes to merit. The good people of
Whitfield, Murray and Gordon coun
ties, at the mournful news of the
death of Ludie Quillian, will mingle
their tears of regret in solemn sad
ness with the people of Forest Hill.
To say we have sustained a great loss
by the death of Ludie Quillian, is
trite, common-place and unsatisfac
tory. Death has robbed earth of one
of her noblest men. The powers of a
great intellect and a pure heart were
admirably blended in Ludie Quillian.
The people of Forest Hill were for
a long time the happy and grateful
recipients of his wise counsel, noble
influence and Christian conduct and
character. Ludie Quillian was mod
est and diffident, spotless and brave,
intelligent and consciencious. He
was the pride of his most intimate
friends, and their highest ideal of all
that was honor, worth and goodness
in humanity. . . , .
