THE COURT HOUSE
Was again mentally weighed in

iii that it was wholly inadequate
IN roomlness to properly accom-
modate the county officials and
it's precious records, entirely un-
protected from the ravagcs Of the
flames, should they reduce our
classic structure 10 ashes. The
serious attention of the board of
county commissioners and the
tax payers Of the county is direc-
ted to this very important and
vital subject. The grand Jury
thinks there should be a new
courthouse building with proper
room and fire proof security, and
looking to its cOnsummatiOn, sug-
%est a small tax be levied for this
especial purpose and put aside
from year to year, SO that The
same could be erected without

Love Me.sage. on Flowers.

South American lovers have pretty
custom. It is well known that when the
petals of the great laurel magnolia are
touched. however lightly, the result is
brown spot, which develops in few
hours. The fact is taken advantage of
by the lover who pulls a magnolia
flower, and on one of its pure white
petals write motto or message with
a hard, sharp-pointed pencil. Then he
sends the flower, the young lady puts it.
in a vase of water. and in three or four
hours the message written on the leaf
becomes quite visible and remains SO.

HOW IT HAPPENED.

Yhe Literary Lion and His Sudden Rise to
Fame.
The man who had sprung into sudden
prominence in the literary world had
grown a title reminiscent under the infiu-
ence of a good cigar and a small bottle,
and one of the mem bers of the party de-
cided that there could be no better time to
get the story of his remarka BILE success.
II do not recall that any one ever be-
came mora suddenly famous in the liter
ary world than you," suggested the Curl
Gus one.
81 imagine that I came very close to
breaking q record" replied the literary
light.
Zone day you were unknown, and the
next every literary critic in the country
was singing your praise and people were
standing in line to buy your book" con-
tinued tho curious one.
"Quite true admitted the literary
light. my reputation was made by a
single story, and that story might be called
an accident"
"That's what want to get att" ex-
planned the curious one. "I want to hear
the story of that story. Where did you get
the idea and what impelled you to write
it? What was your inspiration?"
The literary light laughed and reached
for his glass.
'tThe secret of that story is soon told"
ne SalQ as soon as bne glass was empty.
''You see had typewriter.
"Young and pretty?' they all broke in.
Machine, not OPERATOR explained the
literary light machine was all could
afford at that time, and 1 had to get that
on the installlnent plan. I ran it myself,
you know
''Well? Go on.''
zone day 1 thoughtlessly went out
without putting the cover on it and my
5-year-old boy got at it,
"Couldn't run it, could heP'' they asked.
'tOf course not. but I'd let him help me
put the paper IN and take it out until he
had mastered that much of the operation
of the machine, and as the click of it
pleased him and there was no one there to
stop him he hammered away at it for
about two hours"
"But what has that to do with your
story?"
''That was the story" answered the lit
erary light. "When 1 saw what he had
done, gathered the pages together, num-
bered them, got up a title and sent the
whole thing to leading magazine with a
note saying that it was q dialect story of a
Scotch Welsh settlement that got mixod
up with the Dutch in South Africa, and
well, haven't had to do a thing since
then except buy typewriters for the boy.
He's little bit rough at times, but SO
long as he doesn t smash over one machine

MISS NELLIE ELY.
"a Colonel on the StaR Sf
Tennessee's Governor.

Tennessee's Governor.
Wonaan's sphere has extended to
every field of human effort except the
field of battle. No states can lay claim
to better right to extend this preroga-
tive to the sex than Georgia and Ten
nessee. Nearly every foot of soil in
the fury of shell and fire.
In the absence of any constitutional
prohibition in their respective states,
Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia. and Gov.
Robert L. Taylor, of Tennessee. have
seen fit to appoint ladies on their staffs,
with the commissions of colonel.
Those martial qualities and those SOL
dierly instincts which Joan dare de-
veloped on the field are not looked
for nor expected from these young
women. They are not asked to buckle
they may devour. Their comanissi ons
were graceful recognition of the fact
