SUNSET
By Whittier,

By Whittier. Touched hy a light that hath no name. glory never sung, Aloft on sky and mountain wall
 Are Gods great pictures hung. How changed the summits vast and ol, No longer granite-brow They melt in rosy mist; the rock
 Is softer than the cloud The valley holds it's breath; no leaf
 Of all its elms is twirled; The silence of eternity
 Seems falling on the world. Farewell! these smiling hills must Wei Too soon their wintry frown, And snow-cold winds from off them shal The naples red leaves down. But shall see summer sun
 Still setting, broad and low; The mountain slopes shall blush ar
 bloom,
 The golden water flow. A lovers claim is mine on all see to have and hold The rose-light of perpetual hills,
 And sunsets never old.

MRS. GALTs rRoussEAU.
Baltimore Special to the New I rHi11aas

Baltimore Special to the New York Times.
 Mrs. Norman Gait, the President S f1ancee, like his daughters, Mrs Francis
 B. Sayre and Mrs. William G. McAdoo, is buying much of her trousseau in this
 city Her afternoon frocks, a going-away suit and several separate blouses have been sent to Washington from a shop on Lexington street. The frocks and the suit were ordered for her on Saturday and Monday by friends who are helping Mrs. Galt in the selection of her trous- seau.
 The suit which 1t is understood that
 Mrs. Gait intends to wear on the wed-
 ding journey is a striking model in dull
 green duvetyn with a chin-chin collar
 and cuffs of beaver. The top of the
 coat is cut to fit the figure rather close Iy There is a flare measuring four yards and half about the bottom of the coat, edged with wide band of the beaver. The coat buttons straight down the front and is worn with a very sinl- pie, slightly fiared skirt.
 The prettier of the two afternoon frocks which Baltimore is contributing to the trousseau is a model in crepe Georgette and taffeta of the same rich dull green as the suit. The model shows strong Chinese influence. The skirt
 has five narrow flounces of crepe Geer-
 gette, banded in taffeta, finely pleated and mounted on a crepe undersklrt.
 There is an underb odice of taffeta, flow cred in dull rose, over which falls a
 Chinese sleeveless jacket of crepe Geor-
 gette exquisitely embroidered in self
 colored beads. The lower edge of the
 jacket is cut with several points which
 are weighted with tassels of the green
 beads. There are sheer sleeves of crepe
 to the model.
 The second afternoon frock is a con-
 bination of crepe chiffon and crepe
 Georgette in seal brown. There is
 very wide box-plaited skirt with bands
 of plain chiffon in lighter shade of
 brown set in at intervals above the hem.
 To this model also there is a slip-on
 overjacket embroidered with threads of
 silver end gold. The bandings on the
 skirt are also outlined with silver and gold
 The blouses ordered for Mrs Gait s trousseau are largely models of crepe Georgette chiffon and lace. There are two seamstresses engaged constantly at the Galt home in Wash ington, but it is said that most of the trousseau is being obtained on rush or ders such as those Baltimore has filled.

Time for a New Forward Movement


 This year 1915, that began in- auspiciously, bringing over as it did widespread depression precipitated by the outbreak of hostilities in Europe, is ending with a maximum of pros- perity.
 The bumper grain crops and the high price of cotton have brought buoyant conditions to the agricultural sections and the enormous demand for iron and steel products has made the great industries of the country hum. Not since 1907 has there been such activity in manufacturing cen ters as right now. The only laggard industry hereabouts is that of coal mining and the operators are at last finding an increased demand for their output.
 The pay rolls of the Birmingham district have been swelling rapidly during the past four months and be- fore the holidays they will break all previous records.
 With this mighty revival of indus trial life, Birmingham will take a fresh start in growth. Now is the time, therefore, for setting in mo- tion those civic forces that make for a larger upbuilding.
 Our upbuilders in the past have been men of grit and constructive ideas. Many of the men who helped to make Birmingham what it is to- day are still living and active, and are ready for the harness again. But younger men have come on the scene, and many of them with the elements of latent leadership, and these in CO., operation with the men who have all ready borne the burden and heat of the day, should achieve splendid re- suits in the new forward movement.
 The Chamber of Commerce is the natural center of civic and commer- cial influence. It has done much of enduring benefit in the past. It will do vastly more in the future if the membership campaign about to be launched is the success it should be. Every property owner and every busi- mess man here should not only be en- rolled as a member of the chamber, but he should be eager to put his shoulder to the wheel
 At this period of prosperity when Birmingham is expected to quicken it's pace and expand on large lines not only must we have men of action, t S.. liberal minded men. Living condi- tions must be made attractive to artisans who come from northern cities to make this their home. The moving picture theatres should be open on Sunday afternoons. There should be park concerts in the sum- mer and Sunday afternoon concerts indoors during the winter season. All these things, small as they may seem in comparison with health conditions are important enough to receive the undivided attention of the Chamber of Commerce.
 If the membership of the Chamber of Commerce is doubled it will have ample means-to do all the things ex. pected of it that call for reasonable expenditure of money, and better still it's influence in conducting campaigns of education will be greater than eve, before.

Dear Sir: | am a reader Of the
Jeffersonian and wish to state l am.
il hearty sympathy with all you
have to say (even the Leo Frank
horrible) but in your issue of yes
terday, in regard to Rural Credits,
you hit the nail square on the head
I am farmer, and think we farmers
are the biggest set of fools CAS- a
Class) outside of an insane asylum.
If we dc not require our candi-
dates for Congress to publicly affirm
ON the stump, but better still, fail to
give any one, be he Democrat, Pro-
gressiVe or Republican the nomina-
tion unless ne will vote and work for
this measure. l am opposed to all
wars for the devil is at the bottom
and Romanism is allied with the
devil III the present war,-and is doing
her best to drag the united States
into war. The strangest thing to me
is, that with the history Of the
Roman Church staring an intelligent
nation Gas we profess to be) in the
face. and yet our rulers seem to be
blind to the inroad5 political Rome
is making in our boasted American
''the home Of the free and land of
the brave.
You mention the fact that the
Georgia delegation, alone, could
WELD enough influence to force
through Rural Credits if it cared to
do So | nope said delegation will
show the backbone" in this issue
as she, Georgia, has in the Mary
Phagan case. | am getting along in
years, have seen my childrens chill
dren, but hope to see before l depart
many Of the reforms you advocate
pct into practice / like the way in
which you uncover rascality in high
places. We common people" are
with you and don't you forget it, as
the late Governor Jarvis of this old
state used to say. Now l want to
say all hail to Mr.. Grover G. Ed
mondson for the manner in which he
discussed the warehouse measure. |
would judge from his given name
he is not a grandad, but has some of
the kind Of grit the old man Grover
had. Long may you live to give
forth the words of truth and honesty
to those who desire the same, and
give "hail Columbia" to those on the
other side.
