Mysterious Fire at Noted Build
ing at Roswell. No Damage
Done, However.
Barrington Hall, the elegant and
beautiful home of Mrs. W. E. Baker
in Roswell, had a very mysterious
escape from fire last Thursday
night.
When the cook, who is a white wo
man and rooms in the house, came
down to prepare breakfast she found
evidences of the incendiary attempt
to destroy the house.
A small wooden box with a candie
in it was found and the door sill was
burned. Kerosene soaked paper
had been thrust through theplace
cut in the kitchen door for the cat
to come and go. Either the person
who started the fire repented and
put it out or it died out for some
reason but very little damage was
done,
Mrs. Baker’'s only solution of the
matter is that possibly some colored
person, resenting her having a
white cook took this method of ex
pressing a remonstrance as a cook
in hospitable Barrington Hall has
desirable privileges.
No member of t ehhousehold is
known to have an enemy,
Mrs. Prat and Miss Marion King,
of Marietta, are nieces of Mrs. Baker
and formerly lived in Roswell. They
are distressed over this outrage 1o
their aunt.

| FIRST CHRISTMAS AT SOUTH
| GEORGIA NORMAL COLLEGE
1 Miss Edna Bullard, who is a stu
{dent at this school in Valdosta, has
?sent us a fine account of its celebra
:tion of the recent Christmas, from
iwhich we make the following ex
'tracts:
“It is the purpose of the school to
establish the custom of celebrating
certain of the most important folk
festivals, bringing into the life of
the students the full meaning of the
festivals, and infusing their joys and
spiritual significance into the school.
This first Christmas celebration was
in every way successful, and set a
very high standard of artists and
convivial excellence,
“The plan was worked out by the
Senjor Class through the depari
ments of English and music, and
with the co-operation of the dormi
tory management, But while the
Senior Class was responsible for the
plan, it was most cordially assisted
by the other classes, all working to
gether in a truly Christmas spirit.
“The whole evening was planned
as an old English Christmas—of
about the sixteenth century . The
young ladies and the ladies of the
faculty were beautifully attired in
costumes of Elizabeth's time. There
were ladies and peasants and trum-
peters and maskers, a wonderful
Father Christmas, a gallant Lord of
Misrule, and the jester in motley
garb.
“The dining room and assembly
hall were beautifully decorated in
holly and all the Christmas greens.
‘At 6 o'clock the company assem
bled in the hall below, and, preceded
by the band of trumpeters, marchel
up to the dining room, singing ‘God
Rest You, Merry Gentlemen.'
‘““At the head of the dining room
was a raised dais with a beautifully
decorated canopy. There sat the lords
and ladies of the feast—the presi
dent and his wife, the superintend
ent of the training school, and the
young ladies of the Senior Class. Tlie
rest of the company were seated at
long tables around the room.
‘“As soon as all were seated, the
butler appeared with the gorgeously
decorated boar's head. As he entered
the trumpeters stepped before him,
the revelers fell in behind him, and
the merry procession circled the
room singing the lusty old Boar's
Head song.
“The feast was served in true Eliz
abethan style, bill of fare, manner ¢f
service and all.
‘*At the end of the eating, the Lord
of Misrule stepped out and com
manded all to join the revels below
in the assembly hall.
“There the true Christmas spirit
glowed again. First there were a
series of beautiful tableaux—Father
Christmas, the bringing in of the
Yule log, the wakes singing at win
dows, the boar’s head, and the mask
ers. The tableaux were followed by
merry Christmas games, winding up
with a rollicking game of blind
man’'s buff.
“Then there came a Christmas
story. As the tired girls quieted
down, the beautiful Noel was struck,
and all arose and sang. Then the
ever beautiful song, ‘Silent Night,
Hily Night,’ was taken up. As the
words swelled out, some one turned
the lights low; and the peace and
gentle beauty of the season sank into
the hearts of all. One could almost
fancy the elfs and beautiful spirits
joining in this most beautiful of all
the Christmas songs.
‘*No one who was present will ever
forget it-—the first Christmas at the
college.”

Appearance of a Room.
There is something very attraective
about a room that does not always
pbresent the same appearance. Pic
tures should be changed when they
are not too valuable. Curtains are
also valuable in altering the appear
ance of a room. New cushions. table
covers and other ornaments that are
inexpensive may also be employed to
bring about a change. A bouquet of
flowers or a plant, each in its season,
gives a pleasing change to a room.
Less Muddy Voice.
The madam’s voice is creamy and
clear. Better focused than most con
traltos and evener. More ringing in
climax, less muddy in soft passages.
It is as good as any voice can be that
Bprings from fleshy throat, trusts the
quivering lung for power, and records
itself on the more or less dull. waxy
surfaces of miscellaneous ears. It
satisfles. It uplifts. It inspires. It
completely conveys the message of a
pure and confident motherhood,
brooding over the whole human race.

Pagan’s Advice.
Begin the morning by saying to thy
self, 1 shall meet with the busy-body,
the ungrateful, the arrogant, deceit
tul, envious, the unsocial. All these
things happen to them by reason of
their ignorance of what is good and
evil. But, I who have seen the nature
of good that it is beautiful, and of the
bad that it is ugly, and the nature of
him who does wrong—that it is akin
to me. 1 can neither be injured by
any of them.—Marcus Aurelius.
All He Asked.
Up in Alaska there used to be a
district attorney who was long on na
tive oratory, but short on education.
Once, while prosecuting a big case,
coming to the finish of his argument,
he leaned across the rail and made
this plea: “All I asts of you, gentle
men of the jury, is that you now re
tire and mete out jestice as she de
serves to be met!”
Sha LD B
Had to Do It.
“What do you mean by suing me for
breach of promise?” he demanded. ol
never proposed to you in my life.”
“Why of course you didn't,” she an
swered, in a conciliatory tone. “And
I wouldn't have accepted you if you
had. But you know I am going on the
stage, and'l must have some prepara
tions.”"—Judge.
Suffocated by Wine Fumes.
Five were suffocated in a wine vat
at Brugier, near Limoges, France, a
few days ago. The five were working
at a wine press when one of them, a
girl named Crouzet, who was in the
vat, fell and was asphyxiated. Her
four companions rushed to her help,
but also succumbed to the fumes,
Came Off.
“How do you know she powders
and paints?’ *“lI had on a darl suit

DUE WEST.
The pretty weather last wezk
caused the farmers to do some good
farming.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson Williams
spent Sunday night with relatives in
Marietta.
Mr. W. M. Hamilton, who has
been confined to his room several
days with rheumatism is improving
slowly we are glad to say.
The many friends of Mrs. W. T.
Kelley extend their sincere sympa
thy in the death last Wednesday of
her mother, Mrs. Lovinggood, of
Cherokee county.
Lela Cantrell, who is in the fifth
grade of Due West school, handed us
the answer to Allen’s problem whica
he gave out last week. The farmer
wonld walk 311 miles and 140 yards
during the year to get his water.
The second answer is: the farmer
would walk during the year to feed
his stock 248 miles and 1,520 yards.
YES.
DEPEND ON YOUR NEIGHBORS.
To whom do you appeal for help
in time of trouble and sickness? On
whom would you depend if misfor
tune laid its heavy hand on you?
Your neighbor? Kxactly.
. Man is a gregarious animal, and
he naturally cares for relatives and
acquaintances rather than strangers.
Social affairs depend entirely on ac
quaintanceship, and business affairs
are controlled to a large extent by
the same element. It would be bet
ter if business and friendship were
still more closely linked.
If you would depend on your
neighbors in time of adversity why
not depend on them in prosperity?
Isn’t the man whose hand you would
like to grasp the man to whom you
ought to hand the dollar that you
have to spend? Why send it way
to a mail order house which would
be interested in a death of your fam
ily merely because it offered a possi
ble chance to sell you a tombstone
for the grave or a crepe band for
your hat?
You know that your neighbors are
reliable; that they can be depended
on; that they would come to your
aid with sympathy or material help
should the occasion arise.
Then why not show you appre
ciate their good qualities by doing
business with them regularly and as
a matter of habit? They know yomn,
and are interested in you.
The mail order man is merely in
terested in getting your money, and
that in advance.
Spend your money where you
make it.—From The Dawson News.
