An aster once lifted her head
And humbly near by, quite close to her
feet,
A mushroom her parasol spread

one wonders if many savannahians know
how charming the Meadows looks with its
neat cottages and pretty gardens. Every
thing seems so well kept and thriving in
that suburb that il is pleasure only to
drive by it. Unfortunately there are so few
people here to admire anything just now.
