The ladies of the Bergen Baptist Church
held strawberry festival and entertain
ment last Thursday evening. The lower
part of she chapel was transformed into q
veritabie bower of beauty and flowers.
Potted plants and cut flowers spread their
perfume around the large room. while nu-
merous tables with their anow-white cover
ings we're ranged throughout the length of
tho chapel. When the musical and literary
entertainment was over, the nuests came
down stairs and were supplied with plenty
of straw berries sed Toe cream BY the pretty
young ladies of the church, who had turned
themselves into mattresses for the occasion.
The winning smiles which thsy threw over
the tables made more than one young
mans heart go pit~a-pat, and caused him
to invest In second or third plate OF
cream and strawberries. Anong those
WHO took part In the musical snsertain-
nsut were tina Misses Ella and Edith
Francis and Miss Loesch, who gave ssne

Saturday Evenings.

Saturday evenings in Southern
towns where negroes are plentiful
are all alike. The picture drawn
by the Washington, Ga, Chroni-
Gle will suit this place. Here,
however, the scene is Intensified
because of the greater preponder-
ance of negroes. Says the Chron-
icle:
A Saturday evening street scene
in Washington on a pleasant day
is novel sight to Northern
man. Indeed, it is one to inter-
est anybody. On that day "cuf-
fee" takes the town and people
who walk the street may expect to
be jostled. But everybody is
good-humored, and if Sis Dinah
runs against you and knocks you
off your balance no complaint is
made, because this is to be expect
ed. Sis Mary is glad to meet Sis
Ria, and wants to know, 'Is you
hearr from Sis Dilsey's chilIuns
lately?" and "Memher me to Brer
Jack"
Uncle Tobe limps up on the
square, and meets Brer Sol with a
smile. "Rrar Sol T heard from
you las night. Bless de Lord, l
am glad you come through"
Brer Primus meets Uncle San
dy for the first time since he heard
Sandy's last sermon at Mt. Nebo
"Brer Sandy, you hear me, you
preaehed wild de power and de
spirit The conversation of men
runs largely into the religious
vein while the women mix relig-
ion and gossip.

What COrsets Have Done.
Rose Terry Cooke.

Rose Terry Cooke.
"Take off your corsetp'
I-hear q howl Of dismay.
ooh we can't live without cor
sets! We should fall to piecesw
81 can't hold myself up an hour
without corsets!"
81 always have such a pain in
my side when | lay aside my cor
set!'
My dears, do you see what a
severe accusation you bring
against this article yourselves?
Wearing corsets has SO enfeebled
your muscles that they are NJ
longer of use to you. If you had
never worn them your body, left
to the laws Of Him who made it,
would have needed no support.
| know one woman, almost 90
years old, tall, stout and well de-
veloped, who has never worn cor
sets or heels, and whose flesh is
firm and cool, needing no bones
to keep it in position except her
own.
| suppose you cannot undo
wholly what the years of idle,
foolish torture have done for you,
but you can have a better future
If you will begin now to live like
rational beings. Go and buy
some of those well-made, new
fashioned waists, with buttons to
hold up your heavy, draggy skirts;
buy them big enough so that you
can draw the longest breath your
squeezed and disabled lungs will
allow, after the waist is burst; so
loose that you can lift your arm
above your head easily; if your
side or your back aches, lie down;
rub your habby flesh every day
with a rough cloth wrung cut in
salt and water; draw your breath
IN as far as you can and breathe
it out slowly as you can every
time the clock strikes.

The Wrong Trunk.
Macon (Ga.) Cor. Atlanta Constitution.

Macon (Ga.) Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
The following, on a well known
conductor on one Of the roads
passing through Macon, is too
good to be lost:
Away down the road pompous
fellow took his trunk in first
class car, sat it down, and went
into the smoker to puff cigar.
A meek looking gentleman from
the country got on ct the same
station, a little late, and seeing
the seat vacant, he sat down near
the trunk.
After awhile the conductor
came through and remarked:
"Look here, that trunk must be
carried to the baggage car"
The countryman gazed out the
window and said nothing. Bye
and bye the conductor came
through again and said:
my friend, if you don't move
that trunk to the baggage car l
shall have to order it moved"
The couutryman seemed to be
ABSORBED In Jne contemplation of
the scenery.
The third time he passed
through, he said quite loudly, for
he was angry by this time: "Say,
if you don't take that trunk to the
baggage car, I'll throw it off
Now, just let me find it here when
| come back"
The countryman sighed, and
kept his eyes fixed on the distant
ridges by which they were speed
ing on the wings Of the wind.
The fourth time the conductor
came along he grabbed the trunk
and hurled it out with all his
might. Then stepping up to the
traveller, he said:
"Now, you see, l have kept my
word. l told you l would throw
that trunk overheard, and | have
done it."
$50 l sec" said the cool pas
seager, "you have thrown it off,
but | don't care continental cuss,
it amt my trunk. 1 don't know
who the devil it belongs TO-"
The conductor did not put his
head inside that car until they
yelled Macon, and then he hurried
away as fast as possible.

A Leap in the Dark.

The Ellijay Courier puts it ele-
gantly, this way: "No people can
be effective or prominent without
education, and no section can
shine as star in the armament
of Georgia's glory unless it hill
tops have heard the shouts of a
school boy, or its purling rills re-
flected the dimpled beauty of
blushing maidens at school" "
That's all mighty nice, but when
the Blair bill gets turned loose in
Georgia, it will be a leap in the
dark to talk about the "dimpled
beauty of blushing maidens. p

A Word to the Girls.

Courting is perfectly proper
thing, but it should be confined
to the parlor, the sitting room, the
ice cream saloon, or the moonlight
promenade. Ii you canrot hold
your best young man in the good
old way, let him go. There are
plenty of good fellows, upright
fellows, honest fellows, if you on
ly manage them properly. The
low light in the parlor, the single
chair, the goodbye at the door,
are just as effective as they were
100 years ago. Don't try to hold
the young men against their will.
The more you do that, the more
they won't be held. If they ap-
pear to grow colby should APP
pear to grow colder. II they ap-
pear to grow careless Of you you
should appear to grow more care
less of them. When they relent
you should relent; when they soft
en- you should soften; when they
ask for forgiveness you should
forgive; when they-but why pur-
sue it? There are thousands of
young men today who might be had
for asking, but since you cannot
ask you can at least hint. But if,
after all the devices Of your sex
have been exhausted, you still fail
to achieve the end desired,
Don't waste time in vain regretting,
Do not sigh your youth away.
Go and look up another young
man. Ninety-nine times out Of
hundred you will be all the hap
pier for having missed at the first
or second or even the third trial.

fAT THEIR CHILD'S GRAVE.
A Remarkable Wedding Of a Tennes-
see Couple.

A wedding occurred near Chest
nut Mount, Tenn, recently under
rather peculiar circumstances.
The bride was young lady of
good family and the groom a gay
young Lothario we'll known here.
The history of their courtship.
which began about two years ago,
was a repetition OF the old story
of woman's weak ness and mans
unfaithfu!ness. Having won her
love and confidence, and under a
promise of marriage, having ac.
complished her seduction, he
openly refused to redeem his
pledges, and to escape the ven
geance of her male relatives, fled
to parts unknown. During his
absence the unfortunate girl be-
came mother, the child lived
out its brief career, died, and was
buried. Subsequently the gay
deceiver, having repented of his
folly, returned and obtained for
giveness from his much injured
victim by a solemn promise to
atone for the great wrong he had
done her, by at once making her
his wife. This promise he faith
fully kept, and as soon as the nee
essary arrangements could be
made the too-long-delayed cere-
mony took place at the grave of
their dead child. There, kneeling
one on each side of the little
mound, with their hands clasped
above it, they spoke the VOWS
which united their destinies for
veal OF woe, while the bencdiction
was pronounced by the officiating
magistrate standing at the foot of
the grave.

The School of Technology.

The last Legislature passed an
net to establish a chronological
school as q branch Of the State
University, and made an appro-
briation to carry it into effect.
The appropriationwill not, how
ever, be available until the first of
next January. The governor has
appointed the following gentle
men as commissioners: n. r..
Harris, Macon; Sam Inman, At
lanta; E. r. Hodgson, Athens;
Columbia Heard, Greensboro; Oh
liver S. Porter, Covington.. The
commissioners serve without pay,
except for actual expenses while
away from their several places of
residence attending to the duties
of the commission. 1t is presum-
ed the governor will call the board
together as soon as practicable for
organization. 1t is made the duty
of the commission to decide upon
the location of the school. The
city or town offering the best in
ducements is entitled to it,, The
health, location and acceptabiIity
of the place is to be considered in
locating it. The board will doubt
less meet at early day and adopt
some terms of competition, so that
each city may know what it has to
do to enter into the competition
for the school.

Interesting Experiences.

Hiram Cameron, fu niture deal
er of Columbus, Ga, tells his ex-
perienee, thus: SFor three years
have tried every remedy in the
market for Stomach and Kidney
Disorders, but got no relief, until
| used Electric Bitters. Took
FIVE bottles and am now cured,
and think Electric Bitters the best
Blood Purifier in the world. -
Mai, A. B. Reed, Of West Liberty,

General Gordon in the Race.

We learn from reliable source
that Gen. John B. Cord IN had a
conference here yesterday with a
numoer of his friends relative to
his candidate for Governor, and
t1at it was decided that he should
enter the gubernatorial race. This
information is in keeping with
what the Journal gave the public
yesterday. We have no doubt in
the statement that Gen. Gordon
may be fairly considered in the
race, nor is it exaggeration to say
that the campaign will be one of
the most memorable and certainly
the most brilliant in the political
history of our State.-Atlanta
