ODE TO THE "OLD WOMAN"

Don't you remen ber sw eet Alice, eld man?
Sweet Alice, who lived long ago,
Who wore skirts and ruties, bonnets ano
curls,
And always had smiles and beau:
We liked her much in those days, old man
The days only few can remember,
Before women became new and men were old.
And We always knew he from her.
We may have become old-fashioned, old man:
We may be Of the time long ago,
But long for The days of bonnets and curls
When skirts reached to boots and below.
Alice was one of that sort, old man;
You remember her--sc modest and neat,
She never wore boomers nor rode on bike
And did not buy margins on wheat.
Bot in all this there is comfort, old man
Comfort for me and for you.
| an glad was young when women were oil;
And old when women are new.
The boys Of to-day may be pited, old man;
To them ignorance only is bliss,
While you and can never forget
The thrill Of an ''old woman's" kiss.

Everybody knows what the Geor-

HELP YOUR PASTOR,

"a minister who is worthy of the name

most keenly. Perhaps your pastor is wonder

worst you are the more need to go. 1t may

4 One of the prominent features OF
the republican campaign last fall
lwas q great "roar" about the way in
which petit and grand jurors were
selected. They accused the demo-
cratic court Of selecting democrats
only to serve as jurors, and prom
ised that if they got in power they
would select as many democrats as
republicans in making up juries. l
want to ask readers of The PRESS
to glance over the list which has
been selected and see if there are
not nine republicans and only three
democrats on the grand Jury, and
eighteen republican and six demo
cratic petit jurors. And these nine
democrats, understand, voted the
republican ticket last November al
most as it was printed. Will some
intelligent republican rise and ex-
plain this awkward blunder (?) to
the people Of the county?

SALE OF eEoRGIA'S NEW BONDS

nanciaI ConditfOns-The Issue APP
proximntes 100000. Runs Twenty
Years and Bears IL Per Cent.
Interest.
Atlanta, Ca, May Gov. Atkinson
and State Treasurer Hardeman made a
good trade for the state to-day by sell
ing at a premium the new issue of bonds
authorized by the last legislature for the
purpose of retiring the Northeastern rail-
road bonds The whole issue. which will
approximate SS00.00O was sold to the
Columbus Savings Bank of Columbus
Ga. at a premium OF l-1lth Of per cent.
or s5O0.1l for each Of the $500 bonds Of the
new issue The bonds will run for twenty
years and bear 3is per cent. interest
While the premium at which they were
sold is not a large one. il is something
of a surprise to financiers that under
the present existing conditions of finance
such bonds could be placed even at par.
The new bonds are payable in currency
and have no gold clause In them. The
law authorizing the new issue did not
make any provision as to whether they
should be paid in gold or not, and Gov.
Atkinson. with Col. Hardemans advice,
decided TO make it strictly a currency
issue. The result is a strong evidence
OF the faith of the people OF Georgia N
the state and shows that they have lit
tie fear on the final solution OF the fna u
cial problem. In speaking Of the bonos,
Treasurer Hardeman said he considered
the sale one of the best things done in
Georgia in years. and il would undoubt-
edly have a good effect. Considering the
fact that state bonds OF former issue
maturing in 1918 can be bought on the
market to-day for less than par. 9S. the
sale of the new issue at "A premium is p
matter Of congratulation To the state.
The new bonds will be ordered engraved
at once, and as soon as they are finished
they will be delivered to the Columbus
bank which to-day deposited with the
state treasurer certified check for Sl0,
600 as an evidence of good faith.
