"llixie Girls" Prize Poem.

Manassas nay well be proud of the
talented young lady who contributes
to the metropolitan press over the
signature, "Dixie Girl She shows
high Intellectual attachments. With
the following poem she won prize
offered by the Washington Post:
HOME.
It's only a POI i'll cabin on a lonely
mount'n side.
But it's whar my nanny an daddy
hab libed an lubed am died:
Whar l open'd ma eyes to de sunshine
an growed to be man;
Whar I split de kindlin' TO- nanny,
as If TO- de queen o. de lam;
Whar I shot all de birds in creation.
an fished by de mount'n stream:
Whar | growed to be big an happy,
lax de pictures yo' sees in a
dream;
Whar hoed an plowed in de gyarden,
an worked wild my daddy allday.
An went to de meetin' o. Sunday to
heah de OF preacher pray.
Yes, it's only POI III ca bin, nigh de
top o. de mount'n dome,
But de dearest place on earth to me -
jes de cabin I calls ''home."

Edaystons Lighthouse.

The Eddystone lighthouse, fourteen
miles off plymouth England. and ex.
posed to the fuf fury of the sout
western sa.s. vas fiilt by Wilstan'e.
in four seasons. Begun in 1896 and
finished in 1703 it was destroyed In
the dreadful storm of 1903. The sec
ond structure WAS completed In 1909
and destroyed in 1865. after it had
faced the wind and the waves for
something over forty years. che
third tower, finished in 1859 ana con-
demned in 1878, was followed by the
present wonderful structure, which
since 1882 has been defying the ele-
ments while it flashed out over the
terrible waters its saving light. Since
the brave Winstanley built the first
Eddystone lighthouse similar safe
guards have sprung up like magic SEN
tinels along all the coasts of all the
