A DISAPPOINTED SUMMER GIRL.

When grandmamma at Sulphur
Springs
Vivacious summers spent of old,
Time sped for her on azure wings,
For she had lovers manifold.
Devout, imperious, cautious, bold,
OF frolic mood, of mien austere-
The tale of them is never told.
Where are the beaux of yester year?
And mother, too, long list brings
OF those who valued as fine gold
The least of her fine flutterings.
No art, she says, she wrought to hold
The rivals for the smiles she doled,
Throughout her summers at the pier.
All swiftly have times changes rolled!
Where are the beaux of yester year
Now. I've done many strenuous things;
I've golfed and driven, swum and
bowled,
To fit my bow with many strings,
Yet have no victories to unfold.
At spring and camp, on beach and
void, @
A single swain is triumph clear.
There are so few when all are polled!
Where are the beaux Of yester year?
L'ENVOI.
Nymphss. in an age when men seem
cold
And. scarce. a thought there is to
cheer.
We've probably been somewhat sold
About those beaux of yester year!

CROP OUTLOOK is POOR.
Pessin,istic Report of Conditions
Throughout the State.

Pessin,istic Report of Conditions
Throughout the state.
Atlanta, Aug. 26.-The following is
the general summary of the crop re-
port for Georgia for the week just
ended:
'The damaging effects of the pro-
tracted drought have been augmented
by a week of continuous hot and gen.
orally dry weather. The precipitation
consists merely of light and widely
scattered showers, which were of little
benefit. The temperature averaged
high, except on the last two days of
the week, when somewhat more mod
crate conditions prevailed
THE combination of heat and
drought was very disastrous to all
crops. particularly cotton and corn.
The former has reached critical
period and its condition has steadily
deteriorated during the week. Prena
ture opening continues in practically
all sections. Rust is spreading and
causing great damage, some fields be-
ing entirely covered. In many couri-
ties old plants are entirely open, are
understood, turning yellow, dying in
scattered localities and shedding bolls.
Young plants are generally barren Of
fruit
1.-THE prevailing weather conditions
have checked growth and little or no
top crop is expected Picking is be-
ing rushed in about all sections. It is
the general opinion of crop correspond
ents that the outlook for a good yield
is decidedly less favorable than two
weeks ago. No doubt now exists that
the crop will be short, except in a
few favored localities.
Fodder pulling is well under way
In the northern counties and Is fully
completed elsewhere. The weather was
particularly favorable for saving this
crop in excellent condition. The saw
ing of hay will soon begin in the
southern portion of the state, but the
outlook for a good yield is discourage
ing. Bottom corn is beginning to suf-
fer from the dry weather, while that
on uplands is regarded as a failure in
most counties.
Poor stands of turnips are reported
in sections where earlier sowings were
made; sowing Is delayed in the north
owing to the dryness of the soil. Very
little preparatory work has been done
for fall gardening. About normal
crops of sugar cane, rice and sweet
potatoes are anticipated. A generous
amount of rain is needed. not only
for growing crops, but to mellow the
soil for fall blowing"

NOT AN EASY WORK.
What Savannah Veterans Think of
Commissioners Lindsay's Roster.

What Savannah Veterans Think of
Commissioners Lindsay's Roster.
The Confederate veterans of Savan-
nah are much interested In Pension
Commissioner Lindsay's intention to
have the next General Assembly do
something towards compiling COM
plete roster of the soldiers contributed
by Georgia to the Confederate army.
Two prominent veterans were seen
yesterday. In some respects they did
not agree, but in the main they
thought it a good thing If it can be
carried out, which is altogether de-
pendent on the man to whom the job
is given and the manner in which the
work Is done.
There is merit in the plan, IL 1t
can be DONE" said one veteran, "but
to be effective the roster must be ac-
cepted from the start as an authority.
and. consequently, it must be of that
high order of completeness that shall
save 1t from the imputation of incor-
rectness. We in Savannah know that
there is great need of a proper APP
portionment of pensions and that some
men draw money from the state right
along who do not come under the
head of either INDECENT or disabled
veterans. Take, for example money
brokers. What right has a man who
can lend money to others for a profit
70 pension? Look at the
giving of licenses to all who come
forward and assert that they are Con-
federate veterans and who maybe, get
500 license and then go and farm
it out for $40 or $25 There are many
abuses simply because there is no au-
thority, legally recognized as such,
that can let one know who is q true
veteran of the Confederacy and who
is not. But If they intend to appoint
a man in Atlanta and have him send
to some one in each county whom he
VIII ask to send up a complete bona
nde list of those who went to the war
from his place and offer no compensa-
ton for the labor of compiling such
list, the roster of the state is bound
to be incomplete and unsatisfactory
from the start"
Another veteran who has devoted
much time to the work in Chatham
which the pension commissioner wants
done for the whole state, says that he
is on the right line and, If the proper
man is given the job, complete or
nearly complete, roster can be obtain
ed. Looking at 1t from a sentimental,
rather than a commercial point of
view, he thinks 1t high time the state
or Georgia do as North Carolina has
already done, prepare roll of honor,
so that 1t may be known who was a
faithful soldier and who deserted. To
show how difficult the work would be
he said that there were in the Con-
federate service from Chatham coun-
ty alone over so companies, to his own
personal knowledge, and that there
were four First Georgia Regiments

WITH FRILLs AND FURBELOws.
There is no doubt, says the New
York Mail and Express, that really
flimsy muslin gowns are of very little
use in the country. except for garden
parties, when we naturally want to
look our best. We cannot, without
running the risk of being homogeneous,
wear long trailing skirts in the coun-
try, and the essence of a muslin frock
consists in a multiplicity of frills and
furbelows and vague imaginings of
gauging and ruching. Without these
decorations the muslin or chiffon
frock is barely worthy of the name.
Now the frocks that look their best
in the country are the regulation cot
ton. linen, pique, flannel, and, last,
but not least, delaines. The latter look
light, but possess a certain amount of
substance and solidity, and, above all,
they are well able to stand visits to
the washtub. Foulards are being worn
to great extent this summer.
charming white frock seen recent
ly was composed of perpendicular lines
of valenciennes insertion outlined with
the prettiest little narrow muslin en-
broidery alternating with gagged lines
of very fine muslin. A wide white silk
ribbon was wound twice round the
waist and tied in a bow with long
fringed ends at the side. The wearer
carried q white taffeta and chiffon par
asol exquisitely painted with gerani-
ums to match her geranium hat, and
finished with gold and crystal knob.

NO MORE PASSES.

Omaha Bee: One good feature of
the new constitution of Virginia is a
provisi' prohibiting franks and free
passes to public of1icers-state, city
and county. 1t is left to the legisla-
ture to prescribe the penalty to be
p1id by corporations that violate the
law, but the Richmond Dispatch is of
the opinion that there will not be
many violations. 1t states that the
corporations give evidence of great
alacrity of purpose to obey the con-
stitution-makers and will cheerfully
reduce their free list as required.
The new constitution, which will
go into effect next month, provides
that the public officer who takes a free
pass shall forfeit his position and
the legislature may prescribe an ad-
ditional penalty. In this matter Vir.
| ginia has set an example which other
states should follow. 1t has made
provision against the taking Of passes
by public officers secure by incorpor.
ating it in the organic law of the
state. SO that it is pretty certain to
stay there at least until there is an
| other revision of the constitution and
very likely it will remain always a
part OF the fundamental law, since il
will undoubtedly have the support OF
the people. That benefit to the pub
lie interests will result from this pro
hibition of free passes to state, coun
ty and city officers may safely be as
Sumed.
