.wHERE A ROSE is AT"


Deep in the slums. one hot. hot day
A little girl was at her play
"A little girl with tousled hair
And grimy hands. and feet all bare.
There. In the baking. barren street,
She sang-and o. her voice was sweet.
To one who, hating where she sat,
Heard: II know where rose 10 at!'
She pointed down an alley dim
Where slattern women, coarse and grim.
Were bandyinR strange laugh and call
And there, close to the blackened wall,
A brave. brave rose was clambering.
What wonder that the tot could sing
That she in accents shrill and nat !
Sang: II know where a rose Is at!'
The stranger caught the rare perfume
That fioated from the rudy bloom
The one lone blossom with Its cheer
And sighed: There are two roses here.
Each plays It's good. unconscious part,
And one rich rose is In your heart"
The child, not understanding that.
Crooned: II know where rose is at"
IT'S SO. We may be walled about
With frettlng fear and clinging doubt,
But somewhere in the wreck and ruck
A rose OF hope. with sturdy pluck.
Is climbing, climbing through the night
To show US which way comes the light.
There may be gloom-but what Of that

THE LONGEST WORDS.
Greek Lexicon Contains One Of 1T2
Letters which, Translated,
Means "Hash."

We have recently read with interest a
discussion running through the papers

words which seem to have been guilty of
starting the discussion are "incircum-
scriptibleness' and "honorificabilitud-
Unity" each having % letters. These
were soon placed in obscurity by the dis
covery of the word "antidisestablish-
mentarians"-26 letters. Another seek
er after long words rang the changes on
the last-named word, and made It anti
isestablishmentarianism"--2 letters
and this seems to be the longest English
word yet unearthed. However. someone
reported the Welsh word: 'Llanfair-

defendants to the suit will do, OF
whether plans have already been for

prompt action.
All over Georgia and the north, the
living and the dead are to be made
parties to this long litigation.
Liability under the clause reciteC
extends back over a period of neal
twenty years and includes all who
ever owned stock in the old bank. Al
this was, at one time, the leading finan
