 Mrs. J. B.

Mrs. Mat lock during her visit here when she organized the Montgomery School Im- pavement Association won many friends who enthusiastically espouse the cause for which she works. Of Mrs. Matlock's recent talk at the sum mer school at the University of Alabama the Age-Herald says: Tt was pronounced one of the strongest appeals ever heard for the betterment of public schools in the rural districts. The conference of teachers held at the time was most enthusiastic and the Vconditions in Alabama were carefully | discussed by those who are making in vestigations for themselves-the most direct way of getting at the heart Of | things"
 Mrs. Marie Bankhead Owen has a. | charming story, The Water Witch" | In uncle Remus's Magazine for July. | The story Is beautifully illustrated by Robert Edwards, and much of 1t is told in letters between the audacious | young heroine and her devoted old 1 beau" and a friend who carries out a scheme to help them out. Some won- derfully clever negro dialect opens | the story when Nam Tildy" says:
 'Is you der doctor? Come right in dis way" Nam Tidy threw open the door with the air of a proprietor. "Marse George done had CT passle CT doctors one time an CT nuther terr see what ails Charlie's in'ards, an I kin tell you right now dat onless he quits eattn' acorns. an green goobers an raw squinces, an green sugar-cane an green wanuts an one thing an CT nuther, he sho is gwine ter keep right on havin de ol' fashion beIly-ache Faint no 'rependus' nothin'. Dat what I say bout tryin' ter raise moth erless chillun. Marse George ought ter go an git married ag'In. A rood, stout. able bodied ep-mammy, an a leetIe more hickory fled cure Charlie quicker den all de pillpushers in Jeff terson County"
 The Water witch. as the herone is called. comes from the old negro suner- stitution which Nam Tildy explains when she says Why CT water-w witch Is CT purson whuts born'd feet fore mos, and all dey got ter do ter fin out whar der water vains is ter take CT willer switch and hor 1t in der
