AgHalf Century of Peace.

It was April 9th, 1865, just nifty years
ago last Friday, that General Robert H. Lee
and General U. S. Grant met under the apple
tree at Appomattox court house in virginia
and arranged the terms OF surrender LOT
the Army of Northern Virginia, Z. s. A.
Although Johnston did not surrender 10
Sherman until April 9th the sheathing Oh
the sword of the great Virginian meant that
the South's chances to win independence
from the states that remained in the union
had vanished.
Fifty years of peace among the people Oh
This nation has meant a great deal Much
has been accomplished III that time. Inc
South has risen from bleeding and pros
trata section to what is now believed by
MANY to be the most important part OF the
limited States Fifty years time has worked
a change in the South that many consider
marvellous.
AS the Savannah Press says the record
during that time in the South has been
worth the living to get a chance to show just
what the men and the women OF a section
stricken as this one was could accomplish

According to an Atlanta dispatch mans

streets of that city by the motor car, and is
now making its last stand in a suburban
park 1t is even having hard fight, it is
said, to retain its place there.
This news item emphasizes the fact that
the horse is becoming has-been in city life.
AS a carriage animal it has already al
most entirely disappeared Auto trucks
and drays are driving away the draught
horses, and even the funerals are in auto
mobiles An ordinance is now being con-
sidered to prohibit horses from being driven
on Peachtree street and other main business
thoroughfares of Atlanta at all in the heart
of the city.
1t seems likely that in a few more years
the city child will have to go out on the
farm to see even what horse looks like

ONE OF SPRINGS JOYS.

From the Baltimore American
The man who first tanned the hen and in
duced her to lay eggs in the back part of
the cave instead of hiding her nest in a
hollow tree far out in the jungle performed
a service so magnificent in its after results
that human kind, if it could only single him
out and be certain of his identity, should
build a monument to him higher than the
Eifel tower. His identity is lost; peace to
his ashes But from the gentle brood which
he reared most likely in his cave, the fresh
egg layers have spread over the entire earth,
and now, on the approach of the beautiful
spring time, are laying somewhere between
900, 100000 and a round 1000, 100000 OF
eggs every day. The cave man who tanned
the hen very likely did not realize the mag
nifcence of the thing he was doing.
For, when the last word is said, there is
no breakfast provender like unto the fresh
laid egg. And at this time of the year eggs
really are strictly fresh laid. I'm the spring
time a young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love" That is all right enough.
But, although he may attempt to conceal
the fact, his fancy will also be turning some
where between 6 and a. m. to the ques-
ton of What is there for breakfast" How
would he keep his other fancy in good work
ing shape if it were not for the fresh laid
egg? Great was the man who tanned the hen.

Have Had Enough.

Governor-elect Harris, who has recently
returned to Georgia from business trip IN
the North, was extensively interviewed ana
quoted on Southern conditions during his
stay in New York and Washington. He told
the New York newspapers that economic
conditions in Georgia had never been pet
ter than last summer before the war broke
ont and that the difficulties which had re-
suited from the war had shown the absolute
necessity of making the state self-sustaln-
ing from an agricultural standpoint, so that
it could raise it's own food crops and use
it's cotton as a clear money crop. He added
that the Georgians were in way accom-
n1ishing this, and that the hard times Incl
dent to the first part of the war came to
Georgia as a blessing in disguise.
What the governor-elect said is largely
true; but the people of the state have
now had enough of the so-called bless
ing, and are ready and anxious for
change.
