VISITING BIRDS.

Marietta is enjoying a sensation
in the way of flock of purple mar
tins. At twilight hundreds of
these swift flying birds congregate
in the upper branches of the tallest
trees in the park and keep up a con-
slant twittering and fluttering until
bed time. Before dark they make
graceful flights from the trees and
attract much attention.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. B. Robson have
between 40 and so pairs of these
birds nesting in gourds on tall poles
at their country home. All farmers
can have them by providing homes
for them in spring.
They migrate in September going
to South America and in spring they
fly as far north as Canada. These
martins put English sparrows and
even hawks to flight and they de-
stroy all kinds. of flying insects.

A FAITHFUL SERVANT
From The Dalton Citizen

Elsewhere in this issue appears
the announcement of Hon. Gordon
Lee for reelection to the house of
representatives
He has no opposition and there is
nothing on the horizon to indicate
that he will have. A representative
of the people who works for them as
his position suggests that he must,
is appreciated and receives the re
ward at their hands he merits.
Gordon Lee in Congress has made
a splendid record He has attended
to the business of the people and no
constituent of his can charge him
with failure to respond when called
upon.
What the Citizen might here say
would be superfluous, because every
reader of this newspaper is acquaint-
ed with the record and work of Cor
don Lee in Congress.
He is now the ranking member of
the important agricultural commit
tee, committee he had rather serve
on perhaps than any of the other
important assignments that could be
given him. He is at home on this
committee because he knows some
thing about agriculture, as we'll as
about other things.
The corn club boys all know and
love him for the great work he has
been instrumental in doing for them.
They have always received encourage
ment and substantial aid from him.
And by the way, he knows and is in
terested in the pig clubs, too.
Some of these days Gordon Lee is
going to be Governor Lee. He is
headed that way but the people of
the Seventh District want him to
stay in Congress a erm or two yet.
Certain is it that there is nothing
to indicate that he can't have most
anything he wants so far as the peo-
pie OF dis district are concerned.

A DAY AT MRS. RICHARDSON'S

Last Thursday the members of
the Woman's Missionary Society Of
the Methodist Church spent a charm
ing day at Raw enswood" the beau
tiful home of Mr.. and Mrs w. L..
Richardson.
Several ladies from Smyrna were
invited Mrs. Loring Brown and
Mrs. o. L. Timothy came but Mrs.
Walker Fuller was kept at home on
account of illness in her family
About 20 ladies went out from Ma
rietta. Mrs. Lyon could not go on
account of her sons illness. She
and Mrs. Power had been appointed
to discuss the conditions affecting
the work of missionaries in christian
and heather countries. Mrs. Power
read a paper on home missions in
which she held that the, conflict
between labor and capital and the
foreign element in our country pro-
duced a condition as difficult for
home as for heather lands.
Mrs. B. T. Frey presided over the
business meeting during the morn
ing. At one O'Clock luncheon was
served at small tables. Each lady
member had brought a contribution
to the luncheon salads, fried chic
ken, sandwiches and cakes predom-
mating.
Mrs. Richardson furnished the ice
cream and her good husband made
himself useful and entertaining in
various ways. Late in the after
noon he treated the ladies to water
melons, cantaloupes and peaches.
Every one present declared the
day most delightful one.
Mrs George Cardy, of Jackson
vile, Fla, was present and joined
the society for the summer.

Story of Emperor Alexander.

The late Emperor Alexander OF
Russia tried hard to put a stop to al
coholism in his army Whenever Il
case OF inebriety came to his notice
he ordered summary punishment.
One evening an oHicer, decidedly
the worse for liquor, was driving on
one of the boulevards of st. Peters
burg. To his terror, he saw the cEar
in his open carriage coming from the
opposite direction. Motioning the Of
fcer's driver to stop. and stopping his
own carriage. the emperor exclaimed,
in an angry tOnei
Major x. what are you doing
here"
Pulling himself together, partly So
bered by the cars presence, the Of
9cer stood up. saluted. and replied,
with shaky voioeI
"Your majesty. am Just taking q
drunken officer to the guard-house."
This presence Of mind and ready
wit pleased the emperor so much
that he pardoned the officer there and
then.

THE VALUE OF A VOICE
From the Athens Banner.

From the Athens Banner.
Reading clerk McClatchey, of the
Georgia house of representatives has
a voice that will be the death of him
yet. He has plenty of work to do in
the discharge of his regular duties,
but Friday a representative took it
into his head that McClatchey could
read his speech better than he could
himself deliver It, so he gained the
consent of the house to have his
speech read by the reading clerk
This was done with fine effect by
Mr.. McClatchey and he made such
a hit that in the future the repre-
sentatives may avail themselves of
his voice when feeling tired and
thus add to the burdens of his life.
He had better catch a severe cold
and get out of this added work.

SHOW PAST IN ITS TRUTH
Buildings Which Have Survived are
the Most Valuable Historical Rec
ords the World Has.

1t has been said that history was the
written order of things. No doubt
what had been written was of enor-
nous value. but 1t was not all. and even
where we had a literature OF the past
it was in some cases not the greater
part of what conveyed the past to US.
said Prof. Flinders Petrie, in London,
the Philadelphia Public Ledger states.
Where should we be in the under
standing of the ancient Greeks if there
were no statuary and no sculpture?
How could we understand their mag
nifcent sense OF accuracy, precision
and refinement if there we're no archi.
lecture to study? Many years ago,
with regard to the great question of
the restoration of the Parthenon, the
objection was made that no person
could ever get to know precisely how
the columns were put together.
Professor Petrie thought it was only
a question of measurements, and he
bought lathe in Athens and did some
careful measurements. To his intense
surprise he found he could not detect
the errors. There were none. He
thought he was going to deal with
tenths of an inch but he found he had
to deal with hundredths. How the
Greeks did it, he did not understand
He could not comprehend the physical
means of doing it on that scale That
was only an instance of how much a
building could teach them. Who could
appreciate the accuracy, the sense OF
perfection and the sense of beauty, if
we had not these material remains?
Then, If they looked a little later,
let them consider how miserable was
the greater part Of the histories of the
emperors. What did they understand
of Rome? They understood the Coli
scum - the majesty Of it and the
cruelty of it-they could understand
the magnificent temples the great
architecture, and they could see from
that what Rome was far better than
by reading all the imperial historians.
And If they looked little later what
thirteenth century which gave them
such a perfect picture of the medieval
mind as Salisbury cathedral?
He ventured to give these as illus
trations Of the value of the material
civilization side by side with the civil
lization OF the people, because he
thought they would enable them to
grasp perhaps more clearly how much
they could ascertain and feel and know
about the civilization OF which they
had material remains. They enabled
them to understand the feelings, senti-
ments and ideals OF those bygone men
from their literature. The question OF
material evidence might seem a dead
and dull thing, but he ventured to
think they were as much a key to the
mental designs and powers as any
other form OF expression.
