Sons of Athens ere you shine these
despatched Shoes of mine,
Let me on your mind impress with the
utmost earnestness.
This, my warning orthodox: Keep the
polish off my sox.
By the gods in heaven above; by the
burning sappho's love,
By the blood of Scio's vine, by Ana
cvreon's song divine,
By Parnassus' we'll known rocks; keep
the polish off my sox.
Son of Athens, hear my VOW; there
will be one HeIva row,
Take it even now from me, it will beat
Thermopylae.
So if you'd escape some shocks, keep
the polish off my sox.

FOR WoMAN's MONUMENT.

February 10 is the day named for
the children of all the schools in the
state to contribute to the fund for a
monument to be placed on the Capt.
toll grounds at Jackson, in honor of,
and to commemorate the sacred men,
DRY of the noble, patriotic women who
lived and suffered the trying ordeals
of and during the civil war.
We feel assured that if this matter
is properly presented to the children
and their young minds made to realize
the importance of this sacred honor,
their contributions would be very lib
eral; but as a very great number of
children have no funds of their own
and must depend for their contribu
ton upon their parents, guardians or
special friends, we feel that word to-
you coming from the Old Veterans
would cause you to take thoughtful
consideration of this matter, and per-
haps cause you to become an active
party in contributing to this fund.
You are the sons and daughters, or
the grandsons and granddaughter of
the noblest and best women that ever
graced the face of this green earth.
Their patriotic labors, endurance and
sacrifices for the cause for which we
battled upon the field, has no parallel
in the annals of modern history.
1t is for the long neglected honor
due these women that we plead for
your liberal contribution to the fund
for monument to their sacred mem
DRY. Supply your children and wards
literally with funds for this contribu-
ton; make it dollars instead Of
dimes; then they can ever point with
grateful pride to the monument which
they helped to build to the honored
memory of these patriotic women.
And further, we cordially solicit do
nations to this fund from the many
young men and young women through
out the city and country, who are not
directly connected with schools. In a
word, we appeal to everybody to con-
tribute to this fund, thereby honoring
yourselves in honoring the memory Of
our Veteran women.
Respond literally and promptly to
this appeal, and you will have the last
ing gratitude of the old veterans.
On February 10 there will be a
booth at Hays & Fields Drug Store, in
charge of the ladies, and the general
public are cordially invited to call
there that day and hand to the ladies
their contribution to the monument
fund, for which we sincerely thank
you in advance.

Women Cause OF It All.

While writing about women, mans
best and dearest gift to life," l am
reminded that the first newspaper in
the world was established and edited
by woman. 1t was the London Daily
Courant, first issued in 1902 by Eliza
beth Mallett.
THE second American newspaper,
the New York Weekly Journal, was
conducted by woman, Mrs. Zenger,
for years after the death of her hus-
band.
"The Maryland Gazette, the first pa
per in that colony, was established
by Anna X. Greene in 1867.
"The oldest newspaper in Virginia,
the Williamsburg Gazette, was start
ed by Clementina Reid in 1772, as an
advocate of colonial rights. The Ga
zette claims the honor of being the
first newspaper to publish the Decla-
ration of Independence.
"The first newspaper printed in
Rhode Island was by Anna Franklin
in 1882 and the third paper estab-
lished in America was the Philadel-
phia Mercury. 1t was founded by a
man named Bradford and after his
death it was suspended for week.
But his widow revived it and made it
literary and pecuniary success.
MRS. Elizabeth Timothee published
the Charleston Gazette from 1898 to
ITS, and Anna Timothee revived it
after the revolution and continued it
until 1892.
