THE FANNY r. GARY CHILDREN
OF THE coNFEDERAcY

This young chapter held its regular
meeting at the residence of Mrs. E. T.
Helvenston on Friday afternoon. The
meeting was called to order by Miss
Caroline Harriss, the chapters first
president. The minutes of the last
meeting were then read by the secre-
tary, Miss Ruth Erwin. Mr.. Frank
Harris, representing Mrs. Edward
Badger, presented the gavel, given by
Mrs. ]. r. Moorhead, to the society.
The gavel was made from the mann
moth live oak tree that stood for so
long a time in the middle of the
street in front of the Court Pharmacy
1t was under this tree that the first
Confederate flag was presented to a
Florida regiment. The flag was pre-
scented by Miss Jeffie Crutchfield, af-
forwards Mrs. Joseph Bell, the mother
of Judge Joseph Bell The old tree
was a silent witness to other histor-
ical incidents of local interest, which
are stored away in the memory of our
older inhabitants. The flag was ac-
cepted by Mr.. Edward Badger, then a
young man, who afterwards rose to
great distinction and became the col
onel of his regiment.
The gavel was accepted by Miss
Harriss, the president of the C. of c.,
in sweet, original and appropriate
speech.
Miss Annie Pope Eagleton recited
an original poem quite beautifully.
Little Miss Lourine Spencer then
recited quite cleverly poem entitled,
God Bless the Flag"
1.-THE Jacket of Gray" was next re-
cited by Miss Annie Moorhead in a
most creditable manner, and Mrs.
Gary, for whom the young chapter is
named, made short but very beauti
full impromptu address, and thanked
the young girls and boys for the honor
they had done her.
| Mrs. Robert G. Blake and Mrs
Moorhead made short talks and gave
the chapter very valuable sugges
tons.

BODY OF YOUNG MAN LAID TO
REST


From Daily Banner, Feb. 3.
All that was mortal of Julian Caro-
lus Robinson was gently laid away in
a fiower-laden grave in Greenwood
cemetery Thursday afternoon. The
funeral service was held at the home
of the young widows uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Sexton, with
whom she had resided since infancy
until her marriage two months ago.
The short service was conducted by
Rev. w. H. Dodge of the Presbyterian
church, and by Rev. Campbell Gray
of the Episcopal church. The prayer
made by DIR. Dodge was a most beau
tiful and effecting one, and during
the service the many friends who at
tended the funeral mingled their tears
with the tears and sobs of the stricken
relatives.
The flowers sent for Mr. Robinson's
grave were very beautiful and lavish
Messrs. Thomas Ray, Whitfield
Palmer, Thomas Pasteur, c. w Hunt
er Alfred Beck and G. F. Taylor. all
very close friends of the young man,
were his pail bearers. The body was
accompanied to the cemetery by
large number of friends and acquaint-
.ances.
The death of Mr. Robinson, who
was en- vouno and who had ca much
to live for, must be accounted one Of
those mysteries which none of us can
fathom. To those who knew him and
loved him. the thought Of his dying so
young seemed as remote as such a
thing can be, and the news that he
had been seized with acute indiges-
ton and taken away came as shock
which caused wide sorrow.

THE FAILURES.

The hills are bare of verdure, the val
leys clogged with snow,
The winds of bitter winter sweep
bowling to and fro;
Inc roads that lured us strongly are
drifted, deep and white,
And peaks that seemed to beclon are
hidden from our sight;
The sun, who used to call us, in
merry comradewise,
Now glowers, dull land sullen, from
gray and sodden skies;
The sea is black and angry, and heck-
ed with cruel foam;
Too long, too long we tarried, and
now-we stay at home.
We talked Of wondrous ventures, our
tongues would never tire,
Yet we of scanty courage sit close be-
fore the fire;
We cringe to hear the shrieking of
blasts that stab and feer,
We stir the Goals and whisper, THANK
God we are here!"
Somewhere the vagrant pilgrims are
on the open way,
Unmindful Of tomorrow and careless
of1oday;
And tho we drudge or dwaddle and
seek to sink our shame,
We know our souls are little-we
feared to risk the Game.
We talked Of Joyous freedom'-but
thought with quaking knees
OF hardships and of perils on distant
roads and seas;
We babbled light of hunger-and
gripped with clutching hands,
The gold great hearted rovers had
wrested from the sands.
What need is there to humble OF 'rea-
sons" you and 1?
We fingered, fingered, fingered, be-
cause we feared to try;
And tho our fortunes flourish and
fame shall heed our call,
Well know ourselves for failures and
towards, after all

cess and he has not had the courage
to kill himself. He broods over his
grievances and Is much more likely to
harm some one else than himself, for
he who looks upon life lightly be-
comes dangerous to the community.
Now, as a matter of fact, this world
is a pretty good place. There Is joy in
it as well as sorrow. To overempha-
size the sadness Is to take a distorted
view. The love affair of my young
friend who shot himself might have
come to a happy conclusion had he
been willing to wait. Many of the
things which we desire passionately at
one time, and falling which we wish
ourselves dead, might. If we knew 1t.
bring misery and a lack OF fulfllment
of our desires.
The time to get a grip on ourselves
is when burdens press unbearably.
There is never a cloud so dark that II
has not a silver lining. Happiness is
just around the corner; go forth to
meet 1t.
