dy Hook on sand fortifcations, and the
results were surprising, the force of the
cannon balls being spent without any
marked damage to the embankment.
The breeze will be a-humming
In the good time that's coming
In the good time that's coming by and by;
And the sleet will be a-sleeting
Down the chimney and a-beating
Out the fire built for heating
Oh, you'n have to wear an overcoat,
And button it up high,
In the good time that's coming by and by!
The closing of the schools recently has
had a marked effect in sending people
away from the city for the summer. There
were many families who postponed their
outings on account of their children be-
ing in school. The turning out was the
date on the calendar looked forward to
with eager anticipations, not alone by the
pupils, but their parents as well, and
many of them have hastened away to
the resorts and quiet places in the coun-
try. Many Of the teachers have also de-
parted for their vacations.
Judge George F. Gober, of the Blue
Ridge circuit, Solicitor General Tom
HUTCHINSON and Mr.. Joseph Dobbs, of
Marietta, who are spending few days
at Tybee, have many friends here who
are glad to see them and show the de-
lights of Savannah's neighboring resorts.
dinner at Thunderbolt and dip in the
ocean spray have been the starting of a
delightful programme as mapped out for
them by their Savannah friends.

old fashioned things and relics of the ear
ly days of Georgia history. There is per-
feet world of old music there-music which
once perhaps, rested upon the pianos of
some of the finest drawing rooms in the
land. These old songs will never lose their
fascination and their charm, particular
ly those which were sung in the south
during the war and just prior to the war.
Many an old forgotten song is readily re-
called at the sight of these musty old
pages, and a flood of memories descends
while scanning the folios How different
these old SONGS are from those that become
popular for a brief season in modern
times and die. Their simplicity is not the
least part of them that charms. There is
something in the very crudeness of their
makeup that lends additional interest.
Take the old song, for instance Daisy
Dean" Compare it with the DAISY" We
heard on the streets everywhere a year

for two The older vintage of song con-
corning Daisy is far the sweeter of the
two. Again, take Lilly of the Dale" the
old song our mothers used to sing us to
sleep with, and compare it with such mod
ern songs as 'fAll Coons Look Alike to
Me-" and the conclusion Is safe that in
the matter of song we are growing more
frivolous and light In our tastes or else
we have no such composers as we once
had. The old songs are good enough not to
be forgotten, but 1t seems that they have
been forgotten largely, nevertheless.

Is It right to take lawsuit
Into court to try?
