Some Potatoes

and the depot this week aud har-
vested from the plot HOO bushels of
dandy large fine tubers. This is 220

harvested and all he did was to
plant them, cultivate them twice
and dug them. He didn't treat
them once with Paris Green and it
looks to US like there's a pretty
wide profit margin on such a deal.
It's easy to see why people prosper
here.-Grasston, Mimi, Advance.

and sympathetic hearts. The cut
flowers ETC., which was given to show
the last respect of Louise were many
and beautiful and was at slight es-
timation valued at $50 or mole, The

Pencil Paragraphs

BY 4. I c.

Attention, please, big Atlanta news
papers! You all know a great deal
about a vast number Of things, to be
sure. but none Of you know all about
every thing. This to remind You there
is much in name and the way it is
spelled, no matter what the loyesick
Juliet said on that subject to Romeo
For instance, take the name of two
streets in Atlanta and Marietta-For-
rest and Forest avenues. Please fol
low copy, my dear Mergenthaler.
Years ago, Atlanta, having had tribu-
lations in the way of getting its fine
avenue correctly spelled, explained in
The Constitution that it had been
named in honor Of the handsome
Southern warrior, General Forrest, and
not for any stretch of woods through
which it had originally come. The
sign-board which had been deprived
Of one "r" by some conscientious
observer, who believed in correct
spelling, was painted again and tack
ed up on corner Of the street
Forrest Avenue.
And from that time to this no At
lanta stenographer, secretary. com
positor or school boy has forgotten
how to spell the name Of that beautiful
avenue.
But other cities have avenues, born
IN the woods, so to speak, that have
been christened Forest Avenue, with
dryads lowering near as ghostly spon-
sors. Such a street is Marietta's For
est Avenue. 1t is a darling little
and smooth and with |
pretty bungalows on one side and on
the other two big houses and many
vacant lots Everywhere stand oaks |
Of the forest primeval and hooking |
birds, red birds, jays, wrens and jo- |
rees fly down in the backyards, where |
sparrOWs do not abound A wise man
with money to invest could not do bet !
ter than to buy some lots on this
avenue and build few pretty houses
for rent to summer sojourners What
| meant to say to the big Atlanta pa
pers in the beginning was this:
Remember to spell your city's
streets as they should be, and allow
other folks to have the same privil,
eye. Every time a Marietta cores
pondent mentions our dear little wood
sy avenue in a communication to an
Atlanta paper, behold it flies out in
print with two RS. Verbum sap.
This reminds me of a recent edito-
rial in The Christian Science Monitor,
of Boston, on the subject of women
and municipal administration Wo-
man, not those butterflies whose lives
are spent lin hours Of ease" but
thoughtful, capable women, who love
to labor for the welfare of humanity,
are sought after by busy men to help
in the work of improving conditions in
cities The Monitor says: whatever
the general decision on the suffrage
question, administrative positions in
government are not closed to woman
if she proves herself qualified to do
the required work A. l.. c.
