Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox from the sto,
rles Uncle Remus had written"
Old Home viii Be There Always.
But the littlestv children, still in the
kindergarten and the primer grades, were
born too late to see Uncle Remus. He
went to sleep one day a few years ago,
after he had told all the stories he knew,
and he never walked up again. But he
left behind him whole dozens and dozens
of stories which never will go to sleep as
long as there are little boys and little
girls who listen to them and believe that
Brer Rabbit did really and truly hit the
Tar Baby 'kersmack' and was thrown
IN the brier patch afterward .-.-....
And the old house up the terraced lawn
Will be there always, to show Atlanta
children and those who come travelling
from far-away places, how the children
who had grown up with Uncle Remus,
from the very first little boy story to the
very last, loved the man who had made
them laugh so many, many years.
Some of the other homes in West End
are being torn down and ugly stores are
going up in their places, but never, never,
as long as children keep on being born,
will any one dare to tear down the house
where Brer Postum and or Sis Cow and
Brer Wolf skipped out of Uncle Remus'
ink bottle and down his pen to the paper
and turned into stories for children to en-
joy

girls and now have little girls of their

The teachers will ring their little bells,
and then the children will put up their
grammars and their arithmetics, and the
teachers will read them stories about
Uncle Remus and the queer little animal
people he told them about
And the little folks will hear of the
women who plan to buy the home under
the, trees, and they'll go home and tell
their parents, and soon there WIFI be
money enough to pay for everything
For the parents will remember how
much Uncle Remus did to make them
and their children happy, and they'll
send as much as they can spare to Mrs
A. Med. Wilson or Mrs. Thomas Stevens
to help buy "Wrens Nest" and keep il
for the children of all the world to en-
joy forever and a day.

SP|LL|NC DIRT
Rains Make Streets in Wake OF
Contractors Leaky Carts
Sea of Mud.

On account Of the terrible condition
of many streets where wagons have
spilled dirt, Councilman Orville Hall
announced today that he would intro
duce new dirt ordinance at the next
meeting of council making the spining
of dirt on the streets punishable by
fine, a stockade sentence or both, in
the discretion of the recorder.
John Jentzen, sanitary chief said to-
day that councils recent act in repeal
ing the dirt ordinance had tiled his
hands and removed virtually all re-
strictions from the contractors who
own the wagons which spill the dirt
With the recent rains the streels
around all the big excavation works are
inches deep in mud They nearly are
impossible on foot. They are avoided
by automobiles and other vehicles
From an observation no one could ten
whether some Of Atlantas best paved
streets were anything but dirt roads
Sanitary Department Handicapped.
The sanitary department is so short
of men and wagons that it is absolutely
unable to cope with the situation. The
closing of the old crematory has in
creased the work Of the department
The main thoroughfares of the city are
not kept clean, without the additional
work of taking up the dirt spilled by
contractors.
The anti-dirt ordinance was repealed
as result of the work of Alderman
&c
ton contractor and has a number OF
the biggest jobs in the center Of the
city There were big holes in the bodies
of his wagons and his drivers were
careless. Much dirt was spilled. The
alderman was called before the recorder
time after time and fined for violating
the ordinance.
Members of council did not realize
the seriousness Of the alderman:s en-
deavors until within the last few days.
when the rains had made sticky mud
out of all the dirt he had spilled and
the city departments began to be food
ed with complaints. Then they recalled
the circumstances of the repeating of
the dirt ordinance.
Maddox Gives Them Laugh.
1t was just before the climax Of the
fight to tear down the old crematory.
The fight in the aldermanic board was
close. Alderman MaddoX's position was
uncertain. The Woodward element ex-
pected his support. Then the dirt ordi
nance was repealed.
Alderman Maddox laughed at that
meeting Of council about three weeks
ago and remarked to a group that Re
corder Broyles and all the rest could
crack their whip" but that he could
spill as much dirt on the streets as he
cared to now. He then voted to tear
down the old crematory.
SO the contractors have proceeded to
spill tons Of dirt on many well paved
streets. Then the rains came and the
people were eXasperated.
It generally was predicted today that
Councilman Halls new ordinance will
be adopted at the next meeting of coun
Gil, a week from Monday

EXHIBITS
few FROM
FREMONT

There are very sew exhibits from
Fremont county on display at the
Colorado State fair at Pueblo this
year. especially in the horticultural
section. In which our orehardlsts have
heretofore been among the principal
exhibitors. The failure to partieira.e
in the fair this year is due to several
causes. among which may be mention
ed Inability OF the fair association
TO pay its premiums twelve months
ago and the manifest injustice of the
awarding committee at that time in
giving the sweepstakes prize to Delta
county in spite of the greater number
OF individual premiums won by Ere
mont county. No part OF the state
IS making a very large exhibit OF fruit
at the Pueblo fair this fall. The re-

suit of the legislature in tying ap
the appropriation made for that pur-
pose. II Is expected that these premi-
ums will be paid after the meeting
of the next general assembly.
