The ladies of the Civic League
of Fitzgerald will learn with re-
greet of the continued illness of
Mrs. Nichols Peterson, of Triton,
beginning shortly after her mem
orable visit to our city. In spite
of her physical sufferings she sends
the following earnest appeal to the
club women of her vicinity through
the Atlanta Constitu tion Of last
Sunday, which we quote in part
only, but advise every wmoan
lover Of the beautiful in life to
read in whole:
"There are mighty possibilities
in embryo for club women in
South Georgia just now, and some
of the interests for which the Fed
GRAFTON is working at peculiarly
needful in this section. Where
once vast forests of original timber
stretched protecting arms over
our water supply and shielded us
from the freezing northern wind,
now lie naked, sun baked plains
with only occasional ragged patch
es Of woods, or tracts of undefaced
timber. Nowhere could o knOwl-
edge of forestry be more timely,
nowhere could the preservation of
forests produce more results.
"To one who has been a close
observer the need ofsome compul-
sorry school law in South Georgia
is glaringly apparent. Most of
this section is of recent develop
ment, and a large percentage of
the parents are so ignorant them
selves as to be Indifferent about
the education of their children.
Something should be done at once
to fit this generation to meet the
demands Of the coming era of
growth, the responsibilities of a
prosperity that is sure to come.
Here, too, are industries that
grasp all the rights of the happy,
care free childhood and throttle
them in their merciIess clutches.
ooh, women of South Georgia,
if l might send my voice ringing
out over your every blossom Dor
dered plain, echoing through your
every pinc-pillared cathedral, l
would bid you put yourselves in
line to share in the mighty cam
paigns for these great issues now
being pushed by the Federation
campaigns which, Judging by the
past, must inevitably result in
victory. The club women have |
accomplished great things in the
past, but there are still more
worlds to conquer. God speed |
you"

would perfume the world must

at her own doorsteps. No woman

own home is not sweet and whole
some and orderly in every nook
and corner, and whose back yard
and out-houses and entire premi
ses are not above reproach."

The Memorial Association held
a short meeting Thursday after
noon with Mrs. j. j. Bull. Sey-
cral bills were met, and the mat
ter Of arranging for the play, ga
woman's Honor" by local talent
was discussed, and it was decided
to put it on at the Opera House in
the near future for h benefit
Of the monument fund. The
characters will be represented by
some of the leading young people
of the city, and the play is full OF
spicy conversation and dramatic
happenings.
Present at this meeting were:
Mesdames Ware, Harden, Griffin,
Rogers, McFadden, Pittman,
Brown, Watts, Matthews, Dick
ely, Bull, and Miss Boyd.
The Benevolent Society appeals
to the public to discourage pro-
miscuous begging on the streets
by referring all such parties to
some officer in this organization.
They make speciality of looking
into these cases, which in almost
every instance are found to be
backed by some fraud or deceit.

On ''The Needs Of Gainesville" this

to say concerning a woman's civic
league:
HWhen God set about creation
he first planted garden. And he
placed man and woman therein.
The first man ever created by the
Almighty followed the woman out

world of sin and wretchedness

that she who made the joys of
Paradise would leave the gardens

The minister of a large parish In
certain western diocese had for some
time been much troubled by the scan
dalous gossip that seemed to be occu-
plying the minds of a portion Of his
flock and after exercising a great
amount Of tact and perseverance at

regular attendant at the schoolhouse
services, and the minister knew that
should he take him to task personally
and individually he would inevitably
lose sheep, albeit black one, SO he
decided to sermonize him. According
ly a special discourse was prepared
and the following Sunday afternoon
literally hurled at the offending men,
Der as he sat on desk in a corner Of
the schoolroom. Everybody present
appeared to fully appreciate the sit
uation and at the close Of the serv
ice departed quietly and somewhat
thoughtfully for home-all except the

remark: "That were fine sermon, sir.

A CHINESE STORY.
The Noted Liar Who Had a Fairly
Competent Spouse.

Competent Spouse.
A noted liar once told friend that
he had at home three precious things
a bullock which could run 500 miles
day, a fowl which crowed at the begin
ming Of each watch, day and night, and
a dog that could read books. The friend
intimated that he would lose no time in
seeing these marvels with his own
eyes. The man did not expect this, as
his house was somewhat distant, so he
went home and told his wife that he
had got caught at last and that tomor-
row the man would arrive and he
would be disgraced.
"Never mind" said the spouse.
Leave that to me. 1t will be all right,
only you must keep out Of sight"
Next morning the visitor arrived and,
being met by the mistress. asked where
her husband was.
"He has gone to Pekin," she replied.
"When will he be back"
"In eight or nine days"
"Why, how can he be so quick?"
"He has gone off on our fast bullock
and so can do it easily"
81 hear you have also wonderful
fowl" said the visitor. And, behold, as
he was speaking a small cock crew.
"That's it." said the wife. "He crows
at the beginning Of each watch and
also when visitor arrives"
81 would also like to see the learned
dog" he said.
"Ah," said she, II am sorry; but, you
see, we are very poor, and so he keeps
a school in the city."-Scrap Book.

Mrs. Taddells to the minister as she
served the pastry. "YOu know, DIR.
Choker, that pie isn't good for little
boys"
'"That is very true, Mrs. Taddells, /"
the minister assented. when l was a
boy I was not allowed to eat pastry,
and all mothers must watch their chill

"But am not at all harsh with Tom

Taddells went on. whenever / have
something for dessert which Tommy
cannot eat-pie, for example, give
him 5 cents to pay for his deprivation.
And Tommy takes it so cheerfully, doc

81 am very glad to hear it, Mrs. Tad
dells. No, thank you, could not think
of eating more than one piece Of pie,
excellent as 1t is. But / am truly glad
to hear Of Tommy's manliness and
cheerfulness when deprived Of pie.

on, you like pie?

man who took few chances in life, but
he would have wagered that Grace
O'Rourke loved him at that moment
despite her cool rejection of his suit.
Hawthorne led her to Rice, who was
waiting to claim his dance, and then
went up to the smoking room. Long
he sat and smoked in silence, when
suddenly he realized that the dressing
rooms were filling up with guests pre-
pairing to go home The dance was
over. A man suggested that he smelled
smoke, but the idea was laughed down.
81 guess it's HawthOrne's bitter root
cigar that smells like fire." sang out
Charlie Rice. And the listeners all
laughed in reply.
Hawthorne slipped on his light over
coat and sauntered toward the closed
door that led into the hall. He opened
it upon a curling cloud Of smoke. AT
the same instant screams came from
all directions. Men and women were In
pandemOnium. Rice was the first man
downstairs, his one idea being self
preservation, but above the rear OF
screams Julian HawthOrne's voice rang
out clear and loud.
t'Please keep back. Calm yourselves,
and no one will be hurt"
They gave him no heed. Madly they
tore ahead, fighting like maniacs. All
made for the main stairway. Gowns
were torn, arms were broken and an
kles sprained in the effort to get out OF
the burning building. Once more Haw-
thorne raised his voice above the hum.

"Save me, Julian, DEAR" she pleaded.
Silently ne dragged her into one OF
the dressing rooms and opened large
door leading to back staircase.
1--WE tried to head them all off this
way, but they would not listen. But If
I can save you, darling. I will have
been on time just once"
Grace gave his arm a loving little
hug, which meant more to the man
than all the words she could have ut
tered. Close to each other they de-
scended the dark stairs which led
through the servants quarters. The
rooms were deserted, and they easily
reached the back door. Hawthorne
turned and held Grace close for a mo-
ment There was no time for words
Just then. And, standing alone In the
darkness, she watched him retoin the
ranks of fire fighters.
