failing cheerfulness. Her answer
contains suggestive lesson for pa.
rents:
III think" said the clever old lady,
1T is because we we're taught in our
family to be cheerful at table. NV
father was lawyer with large crimi
nal practice. His mind was harassed
with difficult problems all the day
long, yet he always came to the table
with a smile and a pleasant greeting
Tor every one, and exerted himself to
make the table hour delightful. All
ms powers to charm we're freely given
to entertain his family. Three times a
day we felt this genial influence and
the effect was marvellous. III a child
came to the table with cross looks he
or she was quietly sent away to find a
good boy or girl, for only such we're al
lowed to come within that loving circle.
We we're taught that all petty griev
ances and jealousies must be forgotten
when mealtime came, and the habit of
being cheerful three times day, under
all circumstances, had its effect on
even the most sullen temper Grateful

fter MANY Years"

Today witnesses the forty fifth ami
versary of the marriage of two of our
worthiest residents-two of our most
prominent and popular friends, Mr..
and Mrs. E. M. Bee, Sr.
There lie upon our desk as we write,
the sweetest flowers that bloom-the
Grand Duke jasmine fresh from the
garden of their home and the garden
of their hearts. To us their fragrance
seems to breathe something of the
aroma of long gone years since the
bridal day of the flair and the brave"
who now in the midst of beloved chill
dren and grand children in our city,
reign veritable King and Queen in
the realm called Home-a home built
by love and filled with cheer and com
fort and the memory of lives we'll
spent. We trust that Father Time
will lightly touch the dear couple who
never seem old to US, and that coming
years will always, as in the past, leave
them much of youth and hope and
pleasant recollections. May their last
days be their happiest, while Heaven
draweth nearer.

Mr.. j. w. McGrath has purchased
from II. Cassidy, Jr., the handsome
residence property built by the Messrs.
Nevin years ago and occupied at pres
ent by Mr.. j. II. Redding. This means
another uplift for the editors part of
town. Mr.. McGrath will enlarge and
improve the house, and Brookhaven
may safely expect to add to its al.
ready numerous model home. places
another one of added comfort and
beauty. There is no more desirable
property in this vicinity than that now
owned by Mr.. j. w. McGrath.
Having mentioned the projected i'm
provements to be made on Mr.. J. w.
McGrath's newly -purchased residence
on West Cherokee, we are reminded
of the things that we're, or rather that
were not, few years ago in that neigh
borhood. DR.. j. II. Johnson's hand
some residence was the first addition
of recent date; then materialized the
pretty cottage of H. Cassidy, Jr., oc-
cupied now by j. j. McGrath, then the
beautiful two-story house of S. n.
Storm, and later the elegant additions
to M. ID. McGrath's already comfort
able home. Just opposite this resi-
dence the $1,000 brick Methodist
church will soon be erected, which
will be most valuable, as well as at
tractive addition to Observation-Disclosures
Turning the corner" south, down
Church street, stands the compare
lively new white Temple B'nai Sholem,
and little further the large brick
school house, which originally cost
$4,000 and which will be more than
doubled in value by the additions now
under construction, to which will be
added several thousand for furnish
lngs, heating apparatus, etc. Hard by,
the new Becker street winds its ambi-
tious way, with its newly-built and
freshly painted residences, and new
families who have come to make their
homes among us. Nesting close to
the public school is the artistic and
most attractive new cottage of Mr.. and
Mrs. James G. Hamilton, who are val
ued residents of this city and really
belong to the old neighborhood that is
being led on to pastures new by the
progressiveness of this aggressive city.
The wide-spreading water oaks that
border the sidewalks and shelter the
numerous and happy little children in
their play, and the electric lights,
waterworks and telephones add com
fort to almost every home in the
neighborhood.
