A short distance from where the Hessie lands at Frederica, in a bower of green trees and shubbery, with wide lawns of velvetry grass stands the Anson Dodge Home, taat beauti ful, tender memorial to a little one whose home is now in heaven, but in whose name is being done this great work, this far-reaching good to the small waifs of humanuy, who drift within Us sheltering arms. The house is cool and commodious, Us order and absolute; cleanliness a delight to the eye. In front and to the sides stretch the smooth lawns, while in the rear iie iields of corn, trifty patches of po tatoes, carefully tender and thriving beds of ail sorts of vegetables and or chards of various fruits, which make up this model farm. A fine artesian well gives a supply of splendid water which is run in pipes into the house and also irrigates the vegetable gar den and furnishes their natural ele- ment for the ducks, raised here. For poultry raising is one of the indus tries of the home. Even cattle ami nogs ore raised here. And here under the personal care of the gentle directress of Miss Anna Dodge and her assistant, Miss Mil chell, lives a happy family of twelve little/ boys, Hinging from a llfteoii-ycai old lad, sturdy, brown, contented, down through ail ages to "the baby, 1 as he is affectionately Designated, little Allen Burns, who is not yet one year old. Entirely orphaned, as lie is, he however, has not suffered, and is as pretty and rosy and bright as any of the world's more fortunate babies, and is devoted to his foster mot.heiV- The little ones address Mrs. Dodge as “Mania'' and speak uliVctionntly of the late Rev. Mr. Dodge as “Papa." l'he education of the children is care fully looked after, and they receive practical instructions as well, each child being taught some branch of the farm work according to his pref erence as far as possible. When they leave the home to go forth Into the world they wilt he well equipped for the battle ot life, and with a foundation of moral and relig ious training as good capital to begin with. While the home is supported by a private fund, donations of clothing, toys, hooks, and anything suitable for the children’s needs are very accept able. There is a quantity of sewing to to done to keep twelve little fel lows, of all ages, supplied with waists, trousers, underwear and even the use ful gingham apron, and articles ot clothing, out-grown or new, never eorne amiss. A visit to this interest ing place, is well worth while, and those receiving the gracious and cor dial welcome that was accorded the writer will wish to repeat the visit. There is nothing in the world which so surely brings balm and happiness to the soul as sweet charity, and a char ity like t'nis, so wisely directed, so necessary, so widely producivo of good, who can say how far-reaching the results will be and how great should he the reward in happiness here and hereafter of the noble man and woman who instituted an i whose charity maintenance this refuge and shelter tor the tiny pieces of flotsam the rude waves of fortune cast at its door.

Mathis’ home at 3S Jane struct, heard a cry without, another and another, and as a fourth and last agonizing wail broke the stillness, they rushed ont and by the lightning flashes they saw a form writhing on tlic ground near the gato. They went to the rescue, bnt an awful truth confronted them, for there under the form, now limp and still, lay the sparking' deadly wire, threatening all who dared to touch its prey. It was too late. Poor Red Ileidt was dead and there could come no help till the cruel wire was out. Mr. Hawkins was hastily sumniond and with him his electrician, who dimed upon a clmir with rubber shoes and wrapped his nip pers and clipped the wire which was •till burning the flesh of the dead man. He was laying face downward, with his open umbrella clasped in his hand and the wire pressed to his stomach with the other. It had burned to a crisp his hand and a streak across his stomach two inches broad and literally cooked his body for several inches on either side of the zone. The ambulance was brought and the body carried to the hospital. Less than a week ago Mr. Heidt’s wife and two little boys wont to Thom asville to visit her brother. Mr. Henry Arnold. Since then Mr. Ileidt had been taking his meals at Mrs, ,T. R. Knight's. It was there he had started for his sup per when he ran against the wire that killed him, It was a small telephone wire hanging over an electric light wire from which it received the current that did the awful work. Mr, Heidt, came to Wayeross from Brunswick a year ago. where he had lived several years. Ho was a tine machinist and a few months ago was promoted to the position of foreman in the shop.
