TRIBUTE TO A. G. M. COLLEGE.

Lafayette, Ga. March c. 1916.
Dear MIR. Editor
VIII you please publish this let
ter in your good paper. | have read
it many times and know you are al
ways ready to give any one a good
recommendation
Cobb County has such a fine
school, ! want to tell the people OF
that place what one of the A. G. NJ.
girls is really doing.
Miss Kathleen Rollins, who comes
of one of the best families of the
state, is certainly doing fine work
in large school near Lafayette.
She and her girl friend Miss Dodd
both A. & NJ. graduates, are teaching
in school called Fair View. They
have something very near ninety on
roll and before, the school has not
averaged enough to keep one teacher
the small number of seventeen.
What do you think of this for two
young ladies, just starting out? Miss
Kathleen is a very young lady, in
deed. have been in school with
her, but did not get to stay the
four years.
She has made many friends. She
teaches a large class in Sunday school
also acts as organist, which is look
ed on by these people as a great work
indeed.
Parents, send your daughters TO
the A. & NJ. If all who come out do
as well as these young girls, you will
have something of which to be proud.
A FRIEND.

GETTING IN LINE.

The resolutions of our Chamber Of
Commerce and Cobb County Pro
gTessiye League in this issue on the
Anti-Paralleling Act are move in
the right direction This Act if not
repealed establishes railroad mon
0poly in North Georgia as long as
She State owns The w. & A. If this
Road is leased for a long term. while
this law is in effect, the chances are
mat it cannot be repealed withou.
1he consent of the lessee. or certain
ly without involving the State
n heavy damages for breaking it's
contract with the lessee.
The Legislature that passed this
act took no steps looking towards a
sale of the w. & A. Road and as
matters now are, North Georgia will
nave to stand the blight of this dis
elimination for an indefinite time.
II is not too late to remedy this sit
dation, although it is getting danger
0usly late. The public in North
Georgia are sleeping over their
rights. 1t is high time to wake up
and get the aid of our friends from
all over the State in repeating this
discrimination and this unwise law.
The opinion of this paper that the
state Road should be sold has already
been clearly stated more than once
and while we do not think these reso-
lutions go far enough, and should
embrace sale of the road-still they
are good as far as they go and if we
cannot get any better a repeal of this
Jaw will save North Georgia.

ST, JAMES CHURCH NEWS.

The st. James branch of the Aux.

that is usually done in Lent. A
number of dresses will be made.
There were special gifts and an ap-
preparation was made from the
treasury
An appropriation of $13 was made
for the st. Lukes International Hos
pital. This hospital will undoubted-
ly be a strong tie of friendship be-
tween the two countries of Japan and
America. 1t will be the more bind
ing because representative officials
have made gifts to its building.
Comparisons are inspiring at
times. From the year 1900 to 1915,
the Southern Baptist membership in
creased 6lfo; number of churches
$50; Baptisms 1862; contribu-
lions $3.50; and total gifts to all

nesaW Lodge No. 80 F. & A. NJ:
We your committee appointed 10
draft resolutions on the death Of
Bro. NJ. R. Lyon, beg to report as
follows
Whereas Almighty God, in His all
wise providence has seen fit to re
NOV. from our fellowship our be
loved Bro. III. r. Lyon, therefore be
it resolved:
That we will faithfully cherish the
memory OF his many virtues and seek
TO perpetuate the influence of his
noble life. We rejoice to believe
that the good that men do lives after
them and that this insures for him
an immortality of influence in mis-
world.
Resolved further that in the death
OF Bro. Lyon we have suffered a loss
which we keenly realize.
He was a loyal and faithful Ma
son for many years and was a worthy
exemplar of the principles of Mason
ry.
Not only has Masonry lost a faith
ful exponent but his Church a de
voted worker, the community a faith
ful friend and Christian gentleman,
and his family a devoted and loving
husband and father.
Resolved further that we extend
to his family our deepest sympathy
in this hour of their affliction anu
that copy of these resolutions b.
furnished his family, published in
the Marietta Journal and spread on
the minutes of this lodge.

POINTS CT VIEW.

The Macon News paragraphei re
Gently wrote cinderella is famous
in history as the first woman who
squeezed number six foot into a
Number two shoe" and the Mon
roe Advertiser rejoined:
File upon you Has it been SO
long since the days when your heart
thrilled at the reading of Cinderella
that your memory thus falls you?
TWasn't Cinderella at all; she had
the tiniest, daintiest foot, that east
~ slipped into the little gold slipper
found by the prince. Twas the
naughty sisters who had to use the
carving knife on their feet. We're
appalled, at your ignorance.
That is 50 like men, isn't it?
Always discussing something Of
which their ignorance is SO complete
and amazing from woman's point of
view
Now every woman, old enough to
have been born before moving pic
lures were, knows that Cinderella's
slippers were glass. That is, accord
ing to the tale told in our nursery
days. Those slippers, however. wer.
really OF white vair. The French
word for glass, verre, is pronounced
exactly like it, so between English
and French nursery maids the Slip
pers became glass, which is more in
Keeping with the resplendent attire
bestowed by a good fairy than even
golden slippers or white fur.
The slippers seen on Cinderella in
the moving pictures are OF golden
brocade and they are not little at
all but have very high heels. They
are no kin at all to the dainty slip
pers with no heels that our own
grand-mothers danced in.
In Good Housekeeping" for March
DR.. Woods Hutchinson has q breezy
article en- THE Secret of Beauty
which every woman should read and
heed
He declares the best thing about
cosmetics is the thorough washing
it takes to remove them. Still there
ore girls with complications almost as
floury as marsh-mallows who still
manage to look pretty.
Also he advises us Ito feed our
selves well, richly and literally and
II adtpose tissue results remember
it is indispensable to both good looks
and good proportions, and in spite
of the ridiculous prejudice against
1T, makes at least ten times as much
beauty as it mars. For every single
individual that you see made homely
by being too fat and pussy, you will
find ten whose unbeautifulness is
due to leannes5 and scrawniness''
Isn't that consoling to us with a
weakness fer good things to eat?
He continues: The busy woman is
usually the happy onc-and happi-
ness is but stepping-stone to bea-
ty. SO, if you would be attractive,
be up and doing, lead the life of
your day and community, take a
hand in everything sane and decent
than mind engrossing, worry-dissi-
pating activity there is no better
cosmetic"
Or. Hutchinson insists that we all
would rather be strikingly handsome
or gloriously beautiful than any
thing else in the world-but he can't
prove it on us. So there,

SENATE VOTES TO
INCREASE L. S. ARMY

An army reorganization bill that
would produce regular army and re-
serve military forces in the United
States aggregating 100000 men
was passed by the senate Tuesday
night without a record vote.
1t is a substitute for the Hay bill
passed by the house, and the differ
ences will be worked out in confer
ence.
on the eve of a joint session of
the houses of congress to hear a mes
sage from the president on grave in
ternational issues, the senate has
tened completion of the bill amidst
scenes of excitement, repeatedly re-
jecting all amendments tending to re-
duce the proposed strengthening of
the army.
Senator Cummins' amendment TO
increase the number of officers in
the ordnance department to 1876. in
stead of the eighty-five at present,
or 100 provided for in the bill. was
defeated, as was the Hitchcock
amendment to fix the number of of
ficers on the general staff at fifty
two! instead of at thirty-eight as at
present. or ninety-seven, as provided
in the bill.
An amendment by Senator Reed
prohibiting enlisted men from leav-
ing their posts to engage in any civil
pursuit for hire, or otherwise, when
it would interfere with the employ
ment of civilians was passed
Upon motion of Senator Thomas
an amendment was adopted making
it a criminal offense for civilians
with certain exceptions to wear an
army uniform or to refuse admission
to places of public entertainment TO
enlisted men in uniform
Another amendment adopted would
require adjutants general of the ma
tional guard to be residents of the
state or territory for which APP
