SUNDAY. MARCH 15.
SOCIAL GOSSIP
The unouncemcut of the engage
nient of Miss Virginia Anderson to
Dr. Hugh Nelson Pago, while not
unexpected, will cause a delightful
little flutter among their many
friends, who have been on the qut
Vive for some time regarding It.
Miss Anderson Is one of four sisters,
all of whom are distinguished hy a
rare beauty and charm, and she is
not only a very beautiful young wo
man but a very charming one i s well
and enjoys a very exceptional popu
larity. Dr. Page is on the staff of
the Medical College of Georgia and
has only made his home in Augusta
for the past few years. Dr. Pug* l
is a Virginia gentleman and is all
that the term implies. The marriage
is announced for June third and will
be a large and very brilliant event.
The community spirit is very much
alive In North Augusta. At a re
cent meeting of the Civic League
it was decifled that the mothers of
the town could co-operate in prepar
ing and furnishing lunches to the
school children. This means pri
marily that the children will be giv
en dainty, wholesome food, and sec
ondarily will put the library on a
very substantial basis. The beauti
ful library room In the high school
building is also the club room of
the Civic League, Mothers’ Chap
ter, etc., thus making the school a
social center. The annual spring
cleaning day will fall this year on
April 10th. Mother Nature has been
very generous in the use of her
brooms, the winds, and her buck
ets, the clouds, making clean the
trees and streets. In co-operation
with her the housekeepers will see
that no unsightly nor unsanitary
conditions exist on their premises,
so that by blaster Dawthey will have
a "Spotless Town."
The pleasant gossip In regard to
the supposed engagement of Miss
Eleanor Wilson and Secretary Wil
liam G. McAdoo, is of more than
passing interest to Augusta by rea
son of the fact that tdr late Mrs.
McAdoo was an Augusta woman.
Site is recalled as Miss Sallie Flem
ing, a daughter of the late William
R. Fleming of this city, and her
death occurred only a year or more
ago, just a short time before Mr.
McAdoo received his present ap
pointment. Mrs. McAdoo was a very
beautiful and wonderfully attractive
woman and all who recall her find
It easy to believe that her young
daughter is such a recognized beauty.
There is a very into’esting rumor
afloat in regard to the as yet un
announced engagement of two popu
lar young Augurtans whose families
are prominent in Catholic circles.
Cards announcing the upprotchin ■
marriage ' of Miss Aan : Crook of
Columbus, On., and Mr. Frank E.
Beane. Jr., now of Columbus, h ive
been received by Augusta friends.
While no formal announcement had
been made of the engagement It was
pretty genrally known among Mr.
Beane’s friends that it would take
place in the very near future. set con
gratulations are ready lor the voting
couple. Miss Crook is a very lovely
young woman with a captivating
charm that has made her very pop
ular and which has caused her 1.0
l»e greatly admired. Mr. Beane Is
the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
E. Beane of this city, and is, like ali
the 'men of his family, typical of all
that is best in manhood. Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Beane and Mr. and Mrs.
Alph Beane will go over to Colum
bus for the wedding, which will be
celebrated with much beauty.
The concert this afternoon, Benor
Andonegui’s, postponed from lasi.
Sunday, will be largely attended. The
hour is four and tickets gotten for
last Sunday will be good for this
afternoon. Senor Andonegui askl
especially that all who attend will

THE HOUSE WHERE I WAS BORN.
t remember, 1 remember,
The house where t was born,
The little window, where the sun
Game peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day, '
But ntw 1 often wish the night
Had borne my breath away;
1 remember, I remember,
i The roses, red and white.
1 1 liu vioiet3, and the lily-cups,
| Those flowers made of light!
: The lilacs, where tile robin builL
i -'mi where my brother set
I lie laburnum on his birthday;
ihe tree is living yet!
1 remember, I remember,
U here I was used to swing,
Ana thought the air must rush as
fresh,
T ■ swallows on the wing.
my spirit rlew in leathers then.
That is so heavy now
And summer pool could' hardly cool
Ailie fever on my brow!
—THOMAS' HOOD.
The Lone Magnolia.
'Mien the buildings were demolish
ed anil the debris cleared away for
Hie home of the Empire Life, there
wit* revealed Ihe vision of a loroiy
magnolia grandlflora, the pride of the
American lores!.
Whether in sunshine, tempest frost
or snow, the luster of its glossy green
foliage ever the same as it stood in
the midst of a beautiful garden, a
veritable queen of ail the beautiful
Bowers and shrubs, that has grown
under the nurturing care of loving
hands.
There the lone magnolia, surround
ed by its other floral companions, has
stood year alter year in a lovely
oasis, in a desert of brick and morter.
And there it stands today, looking
down on a scene of animation and
activity, of moving eianes and swing
ing derricks and of busy laborers and
putting steam engines spouting jets
of steam and blacking smoke.
In the springtime the spearing mag
nolia, with its dark green leaves, butt
°! 1 the under side, would be
dotted all over with immense flow
ers whose tinge white eorrolas gave
forth a fragrance that filled the air
ror little boys and girls to have one
of these magnolia Imds was the proud
triumph of wielding a sceptre in the
floral kingdom.
A wistaria vine had clambered up
among tiic branches and overspread
the lofty crest of the magnolia and
in tne spring its showy Nossoms hung
in profusion like clusters of purple
grapes rioting in the surißhine.
, UNDERGROUND.
Violet said to the daisy,
''Something is setting me razy,
Something is Itching me top and toe,
Seems that the itching will never
go!”
"Maybe, the daisy in whispers cried
' The bonds of our prison have beeri
untied,
And we are starting to grow.”
The crocus heard, the colt's foot too.
And the gluest dreaming its dream of
blue.
And the valley lily and meadow rose,
And the blood wort ventured, "My
goodness knows,
It’s surely contagious, for I can feel
A tingling down to my very heel
From the tip of my very nose!”
Some one listened above the ground
Unto the strange and eerie sound.
And ran home telling the world along
In a whiff of beauty he tied In song,
That the itch for spring had begun
to start
Wherever the blossoms oT beauty
throng,
And he felt it, too, in hla hungry
heart!
—Unknown.
The windows of a home looked
down upon this beauty-spot and two
little noses flattened against the win
dow pane, as two pairs of blue eyes
peered through the frosted lace work
or the glass spangled with rain-drops.
On sunshiny days, the sash was rais
ed and then the grateful fragrance
of the flowers came floating in on
the wings of the gentle breeze.
All the margins of the walks were
embroidered with the choicest flow
ers of many hues, and the flower beds
were set with such old timey things
as violets of tenderest blue, hearts
ease fno pinsies then) candy tuft, star
of-Bethlehem and many others, once
held in the highest esteem, but now
rarely socu In gardens.
Ttiere la nothing now to mark
where this garden has been, save the
lone magnolia; but of the sweet re
collections and cherished association,
—"Time cannot wither her.
Nor custom stale her infinite variety.”
Some Old Augusta Folks.
T N. PoullHin & Sou owned the
Jackson Street corner, and used tlui
front part as a plantation supply
store ami the rear as cotton ware
house The house overhead is Where
the famous English author, William
Makepeace Tliackery, was entertain
ed on the occasion of his visit to
Augusta. It was afterwards the li
brary building.
Next was Henry Moore's hardware
store. Within the memory of those
now living, cargos of Swedish iron
were Imported annually to make
plows for the plantations and there
were still 011 'hand flint stones and
Hint locks for the flint and steel
guns used in those days. There were
also delicate scales for weighing the
gold dust taken in barter, with the
Indians and buck skin Jielts for tak
ing the gold dust to the mint.
Next to this was the home of Thos.
S. MetcalT. Augusta’s wealthiest and
most progressive citizen, then the
lurgest cotton operator In the world.
Mr. Metcalf gave Hen Hill a check
lor SIOO,OOO to represent hint in the
famous Molineux case.
The offices under the Metcalf home
were occupied by Joseph E. John
ston & Co., agents for the Piedmont
and Arlington Insurance Company.
This was a branch of the Richmond
house and the famous Confederate
Fainas wag at that time a familiar
figure on these streets.
Gov. Charles J. Jenkins.
The store on the left was the great
carriage and wagon repository of
William C. Jessup & Co., perhaps the
largest in the South.
Next door below, was the Mer
chants & Planters National Bank,

When Governor Jenkins returned
from Europe he brought with him the
great seal of Georgia, which he had
carefully preserved in his flight.
For this distinguished service to 'his
state the Georgia legislature pre
sented to him a handsome gold medal
as testimonial OT the love and grati
tude. high appreciation In which the
people of Georgia held his great and
noble act. Governor Jenkins owned
one of the most elegant homes on
The Hill.
A few doors down Broad Street,
where the Commercial Club now
stands was the home of Richard
TtiDinan. Esq., one of Augusta’s
waelthlest and most public spirited
citizens Manv public benefactions
in the life of this city, came from the
beneficence of Mr. TubmiiD, notaoie
among which are the Tubman High
School and the Christian Church.
Their memories should always re
main fragrant in the hearts of the
people of Augusta.
