GEORGIANS IN EARNEST.
Our Georgia neighbors are in ear
nest about building an Atanta- Chat
tanooga boulevard, indicated by the
enthusiastic meeting of county rep
resentatives held at Rome on Tuesday.
The possibilities for the successful
consummation of this great enterprise
are numerous and afford a very sound
basis for general activity of everybody
interested. Chattanooga can do much
toward helping in the cause by co-op
erating in every way with their
Georgia neighbors.
A permanent association was af
fected at Rome by the election of
three representatives from each of
the counties, Walker. ( atoosa. AA hit
field. Bartow. Cobb and Floyd. A
meeting of the association will be held
at Lafayette, Walker county, some
time in July, at which let us hope.
Hamilton county and Chattanooga
especially will be largely represent
-1 ed, if for no other reason than to ex
press sympathy for the movement and
pledge co-operation in every way in
carrying out the associations designs

Q
GEORGIA’S CONVICTS AND
OTHER STATES.
Southern and American states gen
erally waking to the good roads
spirit, could do no better than to study
the annual report of Georgia’s prison
commission, about to be rendered to
the governor. Relating to the trans
formation Georgia has made of her
into road builders, and the
to all parties, including
the convicts themselves, the report
is constructively suggestive.
It is shown that there are 111 coun
ties now working convicts on the pub
lic roads. Twenty-four counties, it is
to be regretted, have farmed out their’
quoto to other counties, while eleven
counties, lacking enterprise, assuming
themselves too poor, or for other rea
sons, have taken no convicts at all.
One of the signifieent features of
the report is a note to the effect that
since the abolition of the lease sys
tem in 1909, the death rate among the
convicts has decreased appreciably.
This improvement may be traced to
the better conditions under which the
convicts live, and to the fact that the
larger part of .their waking hours is
spent in the open air.
If any American state is hesitating
[over the advisability of using her
‘ criminals in the creation of highways,
[Georgia’s experience ought to prove
. the deciding factor. Every county
I that has taken convicts, kept them
; properly, undergone the first expense,
laid out a definite construction plan
and stuck to it—has profited in a
ratio that can be only guessed.
The counties that have been most
active and have used the most gray
matter have gained the larger divi
dends in enhanced land values, in
crease in desirable population, en
hancement of educational, religious
and social activities and general de
velopment.
Tt has paid Georgia to use her con
victs as road builders—paid handsome
ly! Other states may well follow in
her footsteps.—Atlanta Constitution.

A Hint to Legislators.
I hope the Solons will not hurt
The dress they call the “hobble skirt”
I hope no member e’m- will find
A bill against the harem kind.
Just You and I—A Song.
AVe’ll drift down life’s highway to
gether,
Just you and I.
Together in all kinds of weather,
Just you and I.
No matter if foul or fair,
What do true lovers care?
Who’ll give up the easy chair?
Just you—not I.
CHORUS:
Just you and I.
Just you and I.
Sailing along life’s rapid stream
Where the jewels of beauty gleam,
You'll get the milk and I’ll get the
cream—
Just you and I.

We’ll live in a cottage built for two,
Just you and I.
At least we will till the rent falls
'due,
Just you and I.
We’ll live on love and a kiss,
But if a meal we should miss,
I’m willing to tell you this—
'Twill be you —not I.
CHORUS:

A Puzzle.
My mind is in a quandary
And I am puzzled quite;
There’s something I would like to
know —
If I may write May Wright?
And here’s another nut to crack:
I wonder what she’d say
If I should ask the honor
To carry Carrie May.

I’d like to know the reason why

They ought to fight the fleeing flea,
And then to make the job completer

gracefully around her shoulders. At
her side was “The Billiken Man.”

Heels” “Poor John” for I “Cawnt

Shortly she was joiney by “Casey
Jones,” whose salutation was “Good
morning, Carrie” how is my “Baby
Mine?” His appeal was that while
“Floating Along” through “Clover
Blossoms” and “Wildflowers” “By
the Light of the Silvery Moan,” h?
wanted “Someone” io share his
“Gondolier.” When she saw how
really “Love Sick” he was her heart
softened and she realized that it is
“Funny What Love Makes You
Do.”
Soon tiring of this “Dusky Dude”
she reminded him that “King Craps”
was awaiting him under the “Weep
ing Willow,” and in his “Cha-u ol
the Witches,” she was left wandering
alone in “Cupid’s Garden.”
In the distance could be heard the
“Shepherd’s Pipe” playing for the
“Dance of the Dainty Dollies” and
the “Barber Shop Cord” hy “Whistl

“Vanity Fair.”
He sang very sweetly his “Song of
Unchanging Love” and having been
bitten by the “Kissing Bug” he pro
ceeded to enjoy his “Stolen Sweets”
but soon received a nice bunch of
“Lemons and Limes.” With the re
tort that “You’ll be Sorry Just Too
Late,” she was once again alone.
Our “Moon Beam Babe” was going
towards her “Woodland Home” and

the Violet” she had that day received
which said “Come Into the Garden,
Dearie” and I’ll be with you “When

“Because” she liked “A Little Lov

out with only the “Glow-worms” for
companions to meet her “Sweet

the “Rainbow,” but hearing “Dearie’
“The Moon Has His Eyes on You
they returned to earth and the next
day VThe Argus” told the tale.
In due time the “Wedding of the
Reuben and the Maid” was solemnized
with the “Flower Song” played by
“Mister Pat O’Hare.” “Uncle
Sammy” performed the ceremony
with “Yankee Doodle” as best man,
while “Anona” was maid of honor
with “Iola” as the “Flower Girl.
Quite an elaborate luncheon of “Pick
les and Peppers,” “Chili Sauce ’ and
,“Possum and Taters” was served to
the assembled guests.
The bride’s gown wa s “Merry
AA’idow Rag” trimmed with “The
Moonlight, the Rose and Yon." Her
traveling gown was old “Temptation
Rag” with hat and gloves to match.
The maid of honor was becomingly
gowned in a “Dish Rag.” Among
the out-of-town guests were “Nao

Pete” and “Pawnee.”
The bride’s parents, “Karama
and “Queen Raglan” held a “Warm
Reception” at their home, the
“Pepita.” After advising the
guests to “Kep Their Foot on the
Soft Pedal,” and bidding each one
“Goodnight, Dear,” the bride and
groom left on a late train for a
“Day’s Frolic.”
