BY MRS. T. M. GREEN,
Regent Kettle Creek Chapter
D. A. r.

Stevens, Jones and Mccall have failed
to do honor to Nancy Hart for several
reasons-the chief one of which is, their
histories were largely compiled from
colonial and state records-cold facts, bar
rem of the fire and warmth of incident,
tradition and adventure.
In conclusion 1 must admit, while not
giving way one inch as to Nancy's valor,
that the stories about her have of late
years been somewhat exa ggerated. My
father used to say that there were three
Tories whom she brought to bay at the
point of her musket, and they were cap
tured and hanged by Wings who were hid
ing in the canebral1e. But now. some have
1t six Tories, and that she hanged them
with her own hands!
Finally, as q good and loyal Daughter
of the American Revolution, a lover of
true history and good literature, 1 shall
always believe that Shakespeare wrote
Shakespeare and Nancy Hart was revo-
lutionary heroine.

relating to the Harris are to be found
there, However. I have never made a
thorough search for them, and cannot
say positively anything about them.
Now as to Mr.. Smiths objection that
Stevens and Jones. in their histories,
make no mention of Nancy Hart, 1 will
add:
Nor does Mccall either. I have not these
books at hand for reference, but IL
remember Alright neither Stevens nor
Jones mention the tragic death of Colo
mel John Dooley, who was murdered by
Tories In the presence of his family. The
Tories were hanged near lone
ly pond, in Lincoln county, which is to
this day called TORY Pond" and the ne
groes in that vicinity have seen ghosts
stalking abroad at dead of night in the
dismal woods which surround 1t.
Now the murder of Colonel Dolly is
thrilling chapter of Georgia history, and
shall we call it a myth because some his
torians of note do not mention It?

CuriOus Advice to Guests.


when there is some one sitting on tbs
right hand it is permissible to eat with the
left hand.
while one is drinking the eyes should
be steadily fixed on the wine cup.
''It is improper to place ones hand In a
dish while another person is taking some
food from It.
zone should always have the hands
clean and the nails cut short. as other
wise those persons eating from the same
dish are likely to become Disguised.
"a guest should never put his elbows on
the table, neither should he chatter all
the time nor. clean his teeth with knife.

The selection of the materials-each

About this time every year there's a
wall of woe going up from the house
keepers of Gainesville. The cooks, the
chambermaids and even the buffers and
carriage drivers all want to go to the cot
ton patch where they can make more
money for a few weeks than they can
at ordinary work. Many of them will give
up a good home in order to make three
or four dollars week for a month and a
little more. The money is spent as soon
as they get it and then they are left to
hunt up another Job.

say that there is sort of wireless teleg-

our farmers. I can always tell when cot

as early as s O'Clock in the morning. The
thing that bothers me is how in the world
these farmers living five or six miles out
can find out so early that cotton is up.

She Was the Ghost.

"a certain lady and her family" says
Sir Mountstuart Grant-Duff In his
''Diary," "hired a place in Scotland
which was haunted by the ghost OF a
woman who was to be seen constantly
at night wandering through the rooms
and passages. When the family arriv-
ed, the lady was much struck with the
place and said, Il must have been here
before, for l know this place so well,
only there ought to be two rooms here,
and there is only one
"The agent replied that within a few
weeks the owner had caused partition
to be taken down and made the two
rooms into one. Still the lady was puz-
zled at her knowledge of the place, till
she remembered that 1t was a house
she used to go to in her dreams.
'Well, some time passed. and the
agent was up at the house again. when
the lady complained that one part of
the contract had not been fulfilled.
They had hired house and a ghost for
the summer. and no ghost had she seen.
The agent replied: OF course not, be-
cause you are the ghost. We recognized
you the moment we saw you"
