Bird Family

Byrd and Byrde are variants of the name Bird. Byrd was a colonial form. and it now shares honors with Bird, the last being the usual photography. It Is a name in the same class as Eagle. Swan Fowler, Finch and Fal- coner. Names of birds and animals, in all ages and among all nations, have been applied as sobriquets to persons. which, after lapse of time. thus were handed down.
 In Northampton, the Byrd family also went by the name of Eyre The Birds of Penrith. Cumberland county trace back. in unbroken line. to the year 1925. Thomas Bird of Stafford shire, a captain in the kings army. was knighted 1861.
 Kent. Lincoln, Chester, Hereford and Derby are names often encountered when looking up old homes of the Birds Emanuel Bird. who died about the middle of the seventeenth century, left &6 per year forever to the Church of St Michael Basinghall ," That is. to St. Michaels, Basinghall street, London.
 Upon monument in an Acton (England) cemetery We find the fol- lowing quaint lines:

As if Eve Hadn't Sorrow Enoush, Her Partner Had to Add to

Adam had just received his notice of ejectment
 He stared at 1t a long time in silence, while Eve crouched in a dusky corner, softly whimpered:
 Presently the father of mankind looked around
 As Eve caught his angry eye her whimper changed to a gulping sob.
 well, he sternly said. you've eer- tainly put us in a fine mess with your silly curiosity. And yet when I refused to have anything to do with your apple scheme you called me a poor fool. Do you remember that you called me a poor fool?"
 ''Ye-es," sobbed Eve.
 Well, there's just one question want to ask you?" said Adam.
 What is it?" gasped the first mother.
 Who's looney now?" he harshly demanded

Jones

To this day there is confusion worse confounded' to the outsider who tries to trace Scandinavian genealogy.
 If, for example, Lars Oleson has four sons, one is perhaps Ole Peter son, one Lars Peters, another Peter Larson, and the last one. perhaps Ole Oleson. The Welsh bungled quite as badly at first. multiplying the word Alp, meaning son, until such absurd names were evolved as Thomas Alp John, Ap-Thomas. Ap-Howell, Alp Evan-Yaughan. When matters were finaily simplified. Thomas, the son of John, became Thomas John or Johns, and by inserting "e" for euphony, be came Johnes or Jones.
 The sole defect of the name Jones" so a member of the family de clares, "is its commonness. otherwise it is a very good name"

WAS SIRE IF TEXAS
Moses Austin, Grandfather of the
 Lone Star State.
Former Republic Asked to Care for Missouri Home and Tomb of Fa- nous Pioneer Who Made Pos
 sible Its Founding.

Potosi Mo.-Washington county of ficials have recently appealed to Texas state officials to arrange for that com monwealth to care for the grave and home of Moses Austin in this city Moses Austin was father of stephen F. Austin, honored as the father of Texas. As truly as stephen F. Austin was the father of the former republic and the late state Moses Austin was its grand father. for he did the preliminary wark. made the treaty and planned the colony that made possible the work of his son as founder Of the repub- lie.
 It Is believed here that the recent removal of the body of stephen F. Aus tin from lonely grave in a Texas village to a state-built tomb in the cap ital city that was named for him, and the memorial services in several cities, will arouse sufficient interest in the Austin family to result in arrange ments being made 10 care for the al most dismantled tomb and the decay ing log cabin here.
 The cabin stands on one corner of the public square Of this city. It is all that is left of the once pretentious Durham Hall, Moses Austin's early-day home. At the time Of the Louisiana purchase there was no more elaborate private estate in the whole Mississippi valley than Durham Hall. where the owner entertained such notable men as Aaron Burr. Andrew Jackson and ! Thomas H Benton.
 Moses Austin, under grant from the Spanish government, opened the first lead mines and built thc first lead shelter in Missouri. He was at the head of the first bank established in St. Louis and was a member of the first Masonic settlement period.
 He conceived the idea of settling i Texas with Americans, and it was under a treaty negotiated by him with the Mexican government that the first American colony was established

 It Is not two centuries ago since Germany compelled German Jews to take family names, and not many years since Norway forced her army officers to take surnames. Even yet in Norway and Wales. surnames are not universal among the lower classes.

NO SUPERIOR COURT
HELD THIS WEEK.
After Week of Strenuous
Criminal Business, Ad-
journment is Had.

MThe fall term of Cobb Superior Court
took a recess Saturday afternoon un-
til Monday when it will be again con-
vened, and the disposition of the
heavy criminal business resumed.
The grand jury was excused until
called together again by the order of
the court. The traverse jurors serving
last week were discharged for the term,
and new jurors drawn for next week.
All of last week was consumed in
the trial of criminal business, and
verdicts were rendered in the more i'm
portant of these.
John Wilson, charged with assault
ing young married lady out in
Oregon district last summer, was tried
and found guilty, receiving a sentence
OF twenty years in the penitentiary.
Flanagan, the negro boy charged
with murder in the homicide of
another negro boy by the name OF
Jackson, was tried for the second time,
resulting in verdict OF guilty, but,
the jury recommending that the
defendant be imprisoned in the
penitentiary for and during his natural
life, this penalty OF course was I'M
posed.
1t is understood that in both these
felony cases, motion for new trials
will be made
VI the cases in the Jail, besides
these two, the larger number of them
were disposed of, but with a weeks
time for new arrests, there will no
doubt be another lot to face the court
when it is convened Monday morning.

Shoulder Decorations.

TRYING to many women's figures is
/ the kimono style Of sleeve. The
sleeveless pattern has its narrowing ef-
feet lessened in many instances by an
extended line across bodice and sleeves.
This can be given by folds Of satin that
can be extended to give broad effect.
Soutache embroidery can be used on the
upper part of bodice and sleeves with a
suggestion of a bolero.
Again. the material may be siashed on
the shoulder line and strapped together
by velvet or silk, or laced over buttons
that form double row down the sleeves.
The idea is preserved. but in many of
the best models there is given an Oppor-
'tunity TO display the broad shoulders OF
which our American women are so justly
proud
