Southern Railway New
Trade Mark.
Near Jacksonville and return.

The Southern Railway Company has
adopted new and attractive trade
mark as shown above. The design ''SI2"
is symbolical to the name of the road
and the wording "The Southern Serves
the South" is suggestive of the many
lines operated by the Southern Rail
way throughout all OF the states south
of the Ohio and Potomac and east of
the Mississippi rivers.
There is hardly city or town OF i'm"
Dortance throughout the entire south
that is not connected with the balance
of the south, either directly by the
Southern Railways own trains or by
sleeping car lines over other roads in
connection with Southern Railway, via
some adjacent junction point. On this
account the title The Southern Serves
the South" was adopted as being ap
propriate.
Southern hallway spends about $780,
100000 year in advertising and d
great deal of this advertising is done in
the Northern, Eastern and Western
sections of the country so as to attract
people into the South. and on all Of
this advertising matter this trade mark

There's a lot of fragrant flowers
That should hide the blackest shroud
There are hearts each day that are
starving
For a word of love and cheer;
There's a load that we may tighten
Every day, thruout the year.
Tell the wife that is so faithful
To her duties, day by day,
That you love her, and the telling
viii make brighter, still, the way.
Be to her the same fond lover
That YOU We're so long ago,
Ere the years had brought their SORROW,
And her curls were bleached to snow
Tell your friend about your friendship,
When his days are dark and drear;
Scatter love, for it ia Worship
Let him feel that Heav'n is here.
o, the loads of grief and worry
We could lessen il we would!
How the buds of 10Y would blossom
If each one We're understoodt
There's mighty lot of sunshine
Just behind the darkest cloud;
There's a lot of flowers blooming
That should hide the blackest shroud.
There is love enough, my brother,
For us all that labor here
All we need is but to tell it
Every doy, thruout the year!

HOPE TO EXTEND

nounced at the meeting of the Board
OF Education last night that home

as the FIRST step in this direction ne
Lad sent Miss Ellen NJ. Richie,
principal of No. 20 School, to the sum-
mer school of Delaware College for a
course of six weeks. and the idea rs
10 take M work in South Wilmington
next spring and summer.
Mr.. Scott said this had been made
possible because he had succeeded IN
getting a portion of the $4,000 ap-
preparation to Delaware under the
Smith-Lever act The bill was pass
ed a year ago. and the money is
placed at the disposal of agricultural
colleges. He made application TO
Delaware College and President Nit
chell and Professor Hayward, dean
OF the agricultural college. promised
t. turn over to him $3.50 for the COM
inc year. A larger amount was de-
sired. but superintendent Scott was
not successful in getting more.
Mr. Scott said the idea was to try
out the experiment first in South Will
mington and that the teacher could
visit the boys and girls in their homes
and give them first hand instruction
in gardening. He thought the ex
pertinent would be a success.
The Board accepted the amount
with thanks and strongly approved
Of superintendent SCOTS plans.
