Nest Hunting.

This Is another novelty that will furnish much fun for an Easter Monday frolic The nests can be made of paper moss, excelsior, or, If intended to be very gay, of eolored tinsel such as trees are draped with at Christmas time. In them are placed eggs of different varieties, some of the genuine sort, naturally very hard boiled; others of china and many of wood and candy. The nests are then hidden in every out of the way nook and corner of the house The guests who are bldden to the nest hunting are re. quested to dress as they would on farm, sun bonnets and calico gowns being dc rigueur for the feminine contingent and over
 alls and big straw hats for the masculine. A half an hour Is allowed for the hunt. after which time all assemble and show the con- tents of the baskets which were presented them when they started out on the hunt

 tunities Offered.

$ The Summer School of the South will open it's second session at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tenn, on June g, and continue to August l. This ses- sion promises great advance beyond the achievements of last year, when the school had sixty-flve professors and over two thousand students. With the scope of its work extended. its organization made more complete and it's material equipment Improved it is prepared to give the teach CTS of the South a more efficient service. s This school was organized in response to growing demand on the part of pro- for a summer school of high grade, To- cated at some accessible point where the
 summer climate is healthful and pleasant
 the surroundings attractive the accom-
 modations ample and equipment for work adequate. The large attendance at the first session of teachers from all the
 Southern States. the great interest taken in the work and the enthusiastic appre- citation expressed from every quarter, in- sdicate that the time was opportune the place well chosen and that the principles underlying the organization were sound
 The friends of the school moved by the unprecedented success of the first ses- sion, have decided to make it perma- nent. With this assurance of permanency all temporary features have been elimi-
 justed to meet all the real needs of the teachers of this section. It is to be made a real university school of the broadest scope and highest character. To this end
 the management has engaged a faculty of about eighty men and women distin- guished for their scholarship and ability [~A~A~@~a4N 2sAA &ahaeA B41 ,asfaS RiAolSk

 An important feature of the school will Tor her the whole, vast, radiant world of books and art and hope and truth and love. Helen Keller now a successful student at Radcliffe College in Harvard University, familiar with five of the great uteratures of our civilization, shares life which, though still deaf sghtless speechless is rich in human interests and friendships. Out of the dark and si- lent prison house there was but one door into the glad provinces of culture, fel- lowship and light-but one door, and her teacher found for her it's hidden thres- hold, opened it. led her forth and keeps her hand in hers today; the hand no long CT of sad. baffled despairing child, but of a useful and happy woman.

facing the battle; the child, in a democa racy, with an outlook from the charior of the King. the child-and all humanity within him! There lies the consuaining motive, the fundamental and inclusive motive, of all the educational policies of church or state of legislation or philan- thropy-the child, in whose presence sec tionalisms become meaningless and hu- manity becomes supreme.
 The policy of education may be- indeed, a policy nf national or local self-interest. But the self of which we think is the self hood of our future-the locality, the State, the nation of our children. Their hands rule us while we work. Toward the threshold of their eufranchlsement they move today, through all our country, put of the valleys of silence and of dark uess-hearts breathing toward the hills. faces lifted toward the light. Their souls inherit from us all things but the strange and fatuous passions that divide man from man. Their uplifted hands bear no blood stains of war. Their waiting ana eager lives know nothing of factions ahu sections and nations. They are here' they are ready and the world is theirs!
 The glory. the largesse, of all humanity belongs to every one of them. Just aS no man can prevent the poetry or our Lanier from speaking to the child or the North just as no man can prevent tne music of Longfellow from blessing mo child of the South, so the WeaIlh anu good and truth of all belong forever 10 us all. ,,,

Mr.. Bailey has gone to North
Dakota to look over the country.
Mr.. E. H., f. j. and L. d. are
now interested in the business,

be in charge of the latter.
Considerable fun was created
last Tueseay evening by ball
game between a nine. represent
ing the business men and a nine
representing the doctors and
lawyers, the latter won out in a
score of Z to 10, but there were
some charges that the players
did not cOnfine themselves to a
strict adherence to the rules of
the game.
a drive through the country
at the present time will convince
any one that with anything like
favorable weather for a few
weeks bountiful crop will be
gathered, probably one of the
biggest that has ever been
harvested in the country. The
only unfavorable feature during
the past week has been that in
some localities there has been
too much rain for the low places,
and the ground may be too soft
for the machines. The straw is
so rank in many places that the
grain is lodged somewhat, but it
is believed that with dry weather
from now on this would not cut
much of a figure. All in all the
prospects are very fattering.
At the last regular meeting of
Harmony Rebekah lodge, at the
conclusion of installation of
officers, Mrs. Jennie Nixon was
presented with handsomely
engraved berry spoon by the
members of the lodge, as re-
membrance of the recent happy
wedding event in which she was
one of the principals. The
presentation speech was made
by Miss Nina Fanset, the
speaker in congratulating Mrs.
Nixon stated that personally
she sincerely hoped the good
work, which had already received
such nice start, would continue
to go on until all Of the young
ladies and even the old maids in
the lodge had been reached and
brought into the haven of marital
happiness.
