Open the Door of Your Heart.

Open the door of your heart, my lad,
To the angels of love and truth;
When the world is full of unnumbered joys,
In the beautiful dawn of youth
Casting aside all things that mar
Saying to wrong, ''depart!''
To the voices of hope that are calling you
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart, my lass,
To the things that shall abide,
To the holy thoughts that lift your soul
Like the stars at eventide
All of the fadeless flowers that bloom
In the realm of song and art
Are yours, if you'll only give them room,
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart, my friend,
Needless of class or creed,
When you hear the cry of brothers voice,
Or the sob of child in need.
To the shining heaven that DER you bends
You need no map or chart,
But only the love the Master gave,
Open the door of your heart.

The work which is being Ia.
en- up BY the Literary club in
building a park is an excellent
idea and should meet with the
approval of all the citizens Of
Columbus. Their idea is to
park the street that runs from
the railroad by the church to
the new school building. There
is much talk of the depot being
moved across the track and if
it is moved will be on the
street which the club proposes
to park. Correspondence is
being carried on with the f. p.

ing the water which will be
necessary to carry the clubs
plans into effect. From re.
ports it seems hat the railroad
company favors this project
and it is believed that it will
accede to the clubs request.

WHEN 1T WAS HOT IN GEORGIA
Geological Survey Reports on States
ClimatA In Ancient Days.

Washington. That the climate of
South Carolina and Georgia was once
almost tropical is one of the interest
ing conclusions announced by experts
Of the geological survey after an ex-
haustive study of the fora of those
states. This vegetation grew during
upper cretaceous and eocene time, or
as geologists say, at least, several mil
lion years ago.
A study of this fora, which has been
preserved in fossil form in the rocks,
indicates also that shallow seas extend
ed inland over 100 miles from the
present seaboard, that there was con-
siderable elevation of the Piedmont
area to the west, that the river gradi-
ents were high and the streams nu-
merous and more or less torrential in
character and that there We're swamps
along the lower courses of the streams.
The report states that the fossil
plants indicate there was a mild
though not strictly tropical climate
without seasonal changes. There was
no evidence that frost occurred and
that the rainfall was\abundant. Indi-
cations are, it is said, that in middle
eocene time the climate of Georgia
was much warmer than during the up
per cretaceous epoch.
