TO ADD 30 FEET TO
STEAMERS LENGTH

To increase the tonnage Of their ships
the Merchants and Miners Tran porta-
tlon Company has decided TO lengthen
several Of its vessels, as was done in the
case of the old Decatur II. Miller NOW
the Merrimack.
The first steamer to be heightened is the
steamer Howard, plying on the Baltimore
Boston route. AS soon as plans and speci-
fications can be made the contract viii be
awarded for adding 40 feet This vii be
done by cutting the steamer in two about
midships and the additional 40 feet ad-
ded.
1t is probable the steamer Cretan. now
on the Baltimore-Jacksonvil'e L ne, Will
undergo a similar transformation. The

Company.

OUR POSTCARD CLUB
By DADDY Jim

We have received such a large
number Of letters from our members
on the subjects of Boys and
Girls, and so many of them are
worth publishing, that we have de-
cided to put off the awarding of the
prize until next week. We do not
wish to do anyone an injustice by
making hasty decision, and it is a
hard matter to pick the winners in
this case. If any of our readers
wish to comment on the letters
which have been published, we shall
be pleased to hear from them.

ON HAND FOR MEALS,

Boys are sights always different
from the way they ought to be. They
will be on hand at meal times, if it
breaks trace. 1t makes no diff
ference how many places they have
for clothes, they won't keep them
there. And if they don't primp on
Sunday, who does? The particular
little gent has to carry a cloth with
him, to wipe off his shoes. Aren't
they sights? -Winnie Sewell, aged
13, Banning, Ga.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-10
GOOD ADVICE,

think most boys have a DISPOSE
ton to be rough; but isn't it a grand
thing that we have some good ones?
We must have some good boys to
make useful men. Mr.. Watson was
once boy, and he is now one of the
noblest men of the State If half of
our boys were as Industrious as he,
the big sisters would have better
boys to love.-Mabel Pattillo, Rex,
Ga.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-10
HOW OLD ARE YOU?

l don't like the girls too much, ex-
cept my three sisters. I love them,
and we love one another. I don't
think boys ought to love the girls
until they are grown, because girls
have not got good sense until they
are twenty-five years old. I will ad-
nit they have some sense, but not
enough to be turned out to Craze
for themselves. = Frank Joyner,
Montpelier, Miss.

NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR HIS
GIRL.

To the average American boy the
picture of his own grille comes to
his eyes at the mention of that name
and sets his heart jumping up and
down like a churn-dasher. There is
nothing good enough for her, and he
is always planning some pleasure for
her. She is the apple of his eye, and
any girl who says that boys care
more for baseball than anything else
should see a mirror.-James Wor-
sham, aged 13, Macon, Ga.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-10
A WORD FROM TEXAS.

This is what I think about boys.
Some people think boys are not
worth anything, and are hard to con-
troll; but I do not think so. Boys
make smart and intelligent men, like
Mr.. Watson, and they make presi-
dents, too. They are as intelligent
and as good as girls. How many
people believe that? I do not believe
in running down the boys. Just give
them chance. They are very use
full ometimes-much more than
girls. They do more hard work.
Gladys Ruth Breach, aged II, Tabor,
Texas.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-10
BOYS ARE EXPENSIVE.

[ think some boys are nice. Some
boys are manly and polite, while
others are impolite, rude and un-
manly. Boys are more expense to
their parents than girls. When boys
are fifteen years of age, they are not
satisfied unless they have a horse
and buggy, watch and chain and 9th
er jewelry. We have not any boys
in our family, and am real glad,
too. l am little girl, aged TO-

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-10
NOTHING LIKE EN-.

Girls are very useful. They help
their mothers, and try to be clean
and neat. They play many games,
and work in school to make the boys
keep up. And to keep the girls from
throwing kisses at the other fellows
the boys brush their hair and shine
their shoes. The girls do many
things and do good deal of work.
And after all there's nothing like
girls. - Merlin Smith, aged 10,
GAINESVILLE, Ga.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-10

talk to you and ask you to go to see
them; and after you have treated
them they will leave you, and will
not speak to you next day on the
street or at school. That is another
sour kind. There are two kinds Of
girls-the sour and the sweet. I take
the sweet kind, don't you?-Albert
Mitchell, Pelham, Ga, aged IL.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-10
THAT'S WHAT'S THE NATTER.

When boys are around, everything
is lively, as, besides being mischiev-
Gus, some are mean things. After
boys reach the age of twelve, they
are always entertaining, because
they never tire of talking about base
ball and the dress of girls. Boys are
always getting some one into trouble
by telling things at wrong times.
Physiology says that boys have more
brains than girls, but all I have seen
must have too much.-Bertha Mae
Thomas, aged 10, Bowman, Ga.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-10
THE SWEET AND THE SOUR.

1 think some girls are as sweet as
chocolate, and others are as sour as
lemon drops. Some girls, if they see
you talking in school, will tell on
you. That is the sour kind Others,
if they see you talking or not study
ing in school, will join in with you,
and if the teacher scolds them they
will not tell on the others. That is
the sweet kind. Some girls are de-
ceiving. If they see you at circus,
or carnival, or drug store, they will

FROM A MISSISSIPPI GIRL,

Boys are so free, glad and happy
hearted, they hardly know what is
meant by care. Their hearts beat
with gladness, and few are melan-
choly. They are sure to find just the
road for fun. Some are gentle, sim
pie and honest. They are mindful
what they do, for they realize that
the nations gains, joys or pains will
soon depend on them.-Edna Doug

Council Takes up
Water Question.

AT the regular meeting of the
Common Council last Monday even
ing a petition with AZ signers was
read asking the Council to take the
necessary steps to call a special cleo
ton for the purpose of voting bonds
for the building of a water system
to be owned by the city. The water
for this system is to be taken from
the sream of Mill creek so as to sup
ply the city with an abundance of
pure mountain water at all seasons
OF the year, to be available for
manufacturing plants, ice plants,
etc, domestic use and for fire pro-
lection.
The City Charter at present does
not provide for the voting of bonds
for the installation of water sys
TEN, unless said system can be
built and operated cheaper than any
other system. 1t does not provide
for more water or better water but
simply provides for cheaper water.
IN order to overcome this difficulty
the Council asked Mayor G. e.
liaWkins to appoint a committee of
five, residents and tax payers, for
the purpose of drawing up an am
cndment to the City Charter, to
allow of the voting of bonds for
more and better water. This com
mittee was asked also, if they so
seen fit, to draw up an amendment
to the Charter in regard to the grad
ing OF the intersections of the streets.
The committee was also authorized
to submit their amendments to some
competent attorney for him to pass
upon. The Mayor appointed the
following gentlemen on the com
mittee: c. B. Crosno, d. i. Gus
ack, A. 7. Peterson, Albert Waugh,
and Lee Wade.
