Direction Of diss Cline.

The Department Of Music at the Flor
ida State College for Women has made
steady progress during the past acade-
mic year under the supervision Of Miss
Martha May cline, Director Of Music
at that institution. The names Of
large percentage Of the student body
are enrolled in this department, and a
number of the young ladies figured in
the delightful piano recitals given at
the College Saturday afternoon and
evening.
The selections appearing on the pro-
grams for these recitals were all happily
chosen from the masters OF the musical
art, and were rendered in way that
reflected great credit upon both teacher

County Commissioner Crump and Mr..
G. Strickland, who live in the eastern and
western portions Of the county respect
lively, under different soil and agrieul-
tural conditions, were in The True Dem
ocrat Office Saturday and began 20 laud
the advantages of their respective sec
tons Of the county.
"WeI, / am one Of the independent
farmers. Ny cultivated crops are in
good shape and have been
smacking my lips for the past few
weeks over the most delicious honey
imaginable. and all secured from the
forest without any attention TO the bees

MIR. Strickland.
''But this does not begin to compare
with the honey product which / have

Commissioner "My bees gathered

"Wen, my section not only

"Why, it would pay you for making

Mr.. Strickland. The river and creeks

''Oh, your fish are all cats, retorted
Crump, "you should have gone with

day, and assisted me TO pull in the fine

March of the Deathless Army.

In writing about the great Confed-
crate Reunion in Memphis, Tenn,
last week, editor James H. Caine, oi
tho Asheville Citizen, said this:
THE tread of the Confederate army
is again reverberating through the
South, but in place of the war lust
there shines from the eyes OF the
scions of Dixie the light OF peace and
love. Dimmed with age, perhaps, are
those old eyes, yet today in Memphis
they gaze on the Stars and Stripes
and the Stars and Bars with feelings
which, while not identical, are equally
meritOriOus.
The people of the City of Memphis
doubtless feel that they have the old
Confederate warriors as their guests
for the last time. The harvest of
Dixie grows painfully smaller each
year, and ten years from now there
will be nothing left but "thin gray
line" The old fellows are already
sitting along the borders waiting for
the call of the boatman from the
misty shores. Their crown is the
glory of silvery hair. Their eyes are
looking now toward the setting sun
beneath whose ruddy glow lies the
distant camp ground. Soon they'll
parque their arms and join in the
bivouac of the dead; their ears are
strained now for the final "taps."
There is limitless majesty about
those old Veterans, resplendent with
the scars of war. Yet the dust of
battle is on their feet, and their eyes
show signs Of weariness. But they
are not afraid, for they have seen
the vision. Above q million mounds.
like those which await them, they
have seen the aurora of immortal
fame, and the crown of a nations
deathless love-
Yes, the boys in Gray are making
ready for the last review. AS in the
past they ask forno furlough, nor do
they show signs of retreat. Along
the far-fung battle front you hear
not the cries of suppliants, but the
shouts Of victOrs. There are no picket
guards to sound the coming of the
foe; no clarion call to arms; no scenes
of carnage and death. Thank God,
it is a commission to eternal rest.
