MOVE FOR A MONUMENT
TO NORTHEN is STARTED

ditiORS to Fund

Atlanta, Ga, March 2S.-Althougn
the movement to erect a memorial in
the way perhaps of a monument a.
Fitzgerald, to the late Governor Will
liam J. Northen, has taken definite
shape.
Today State Game Warden Jesse
Mercer is receiving subscriptions rap
idly and he is satisfied now that al
considerable sum will be raised in a
short time. This morning practically
every official in the capital subscrib-
ed literally to the movement.
Il think Georgia should have a
monument to one man who has never
posed as hero, although he was in
the strictest sense one of the really
great heroes produced in Georgia, >
said Mr.. Mercer. THE influence Of
his long and useful life has left an
i:'del ible impression on tens of
thousands of Georgians. For nearly
half century he was teacher, and
for longer than that, he was an ac-
tives militant, Christian gentleman.
His works will live long after his
body has crumbled to dust"
Secretary of State Phil Cook, paid
great tribute to Gov. Northen.
For seven years l was his pupil
at Mt Zion" said Col. Cook. am
glad to subscribe to a monument and
/ believe that there are thousands o..
his old pupils in Georgia and else
where in the union who will gladly
give to such a worthy cause.
Location Is Suggested.
Mr.. Mercer has suggested that this
monument be placed in Fitzgerald,
because Governor Northen was on
Of the moving spirits in founding that
place with its large colony of north
EN- and western people However, he
is not absolutely welded to this id5a
and will accept other suggestions. DR..
John f. White, pastor of the Second
BAPTIST church, and a great friend
of Governor Northen, will take
the monument plan up among TIA
baptists of the state
Those who have contributed al
ready are the following: ]. E. Mer-

(By Winifred BlackD

Oh, joy! I've been reading novel,
real novel like mother used to read,
no; . problem in it; not single "wc-
man III a past, from cover to cover;
not morbid word in the whole book
a no1e ell, real living, decent, humal,
fun CT human love and hopes aid
fears.
An old-fashioned novel it is, just
written, too. could go miles to clasp
the writer to my heart of hearts. What
is the use of living in pretty decent
world if we've got to keep reading
about how horrid it all is under
meath?
| like my house that | live in, 1t Is
{: nice, CHEEKY, sunny, pleasant, unas-
Stunning, honey, sort of house. There
are sunny windows in it and plants and
growing things and the rugs are sof,
and of dull colors like those nature
loves best for backgrounds And there
are a few pleasant pictures on the
walls, and photographs of old friends
smile down at me when | am tired.
And there are books scattered about.
and there is laughter in the house,
and there are children and a faithful
dog lies on the hearthstone. Yes,
more than like the house where | live
| love it.
Ugly Things, Too.
And yet, what lot of sordid, ugly
things there are, too, if l do but begin
to think of them
There's the basement, always full OF
heaped masses of dirty coal. There's
the laundry, always steaming with un-
pleasant smoke, there are the drains
under the house--why it's really hor-
ror when you come to think of those
things. How can l ever be happy in it
again?
That's how some books make the
world, many of the books We read now
adays. Nobody's decent, nobody's hon
est, nobodys unselfish, everything goes
on to a kind of hideous chant of the
hearts.

AN OLD FASHIONED NOVEL

Dance of Death
Most of the new novels begin at the
wedding ceremony, where the'old ones
always ended / wonder why? Are the
novel readers older than their mothers
were?
Grandma Didn't Read Much.
Grandma didn't do much novel read
ing. if you'll remember. She had too
many stockings to darn to spend her
time that way, Daughter was the
only one who read in those days; now
is mother who does the reading for
the family Poor mother! l wonder
Ter hair can stay down at all with the
horrors that are her daily companions
in the books she reads.
Sometimes | vow I'll never read an
other thing any more recent than Van
ity Fair Oh yes, there was woman
with past in there, too We used to
think her really quite-er-a-don't
you know.
