Bird Rathers.

An ornithologist, swimming in the
blue sea, said: Birds enjoy baths as
much as we do. Take. for instance,
wild ducks. Wild ducks adore a fresh
water bath. Though they feed over
salt water, they will battle only in
fresh. They'll fly thirty or forty miles
inland for their weekly fresh water
dip. o.
"Sparrows go in for wet bath and
dry one-a wet bath of clean water
and dry one of clean dust.
The partridge takes a loan bath.
He loosens up square foot of rich,
chocolate colored loan and bathes his
plumes in 1t for half an hour at a
stretch.
"All irds love bath If ashes.
Wherever, In the prairies, you see an
ash heap the sign of a forest fire, a
flock Of birds win rise up from it if
You go too near-birds that have been
polishing their feathers in the silvery
ashes as a servant polishes knives. -

china,s Dried Perslmmons.

China has developed a seedless per-
simmon of exquisite flavor for drying
purposes. The dried persimmon is
said to resemble n dried fig in looks
and taste and is heavily coated with
layer of fine grape sugar. When the
fruit is ripe, but before it begins to
soften, the peeling is stripped off. and
the fruit is hung on sticks to dry in
the sun and wind. The sticks used aSe
strips of bamboo pierced through the
center of the persimmOn. Several
weeks are devoted to the drying proc
ess, after which the persimmons are
covered with mating and allowed to
cure, during which process the grape
sugar is formed.

pure despcription. There is not a bit
of philosophy to trouble ones mind in
seeking its meaning; not a touch Of
cynicism to incline the reader toward
bitterness. Pathos there is a plenty
and longing and signing; the unre-
lieyed sorrow OF some of the stanzas
sometimes approaches pessimism.
This tendency is found in the abund-
ant use of the lost love- motif. In
THE Lost Illusion" "A Song of Her"
Heartache" and in nine others-exact-
ly half the poems in the book-this

Advocates OF This Line Declare That

And are Expecting a Good Atten-

There will be a mass meeting at
the Court House on Saturday in the
interest of the Columbia and Pulaski
route for the proposed Jackson high

be delegations form Pulaski, Lynn

meeting will be held at l o'clock and
a large attendance is claimed by
those who are behind the movement.
Advocates of the Pulaski and Co
lumbia route declare that 1t is the
logical route for the proposed high
way; that it will go through the CEN
ters of population and traverse a ter
ritor, that will naturally prove attrac-
tive TO the tourist, where as the pro-
posed Columbia and Sheffield route
will not pass through any Of the CEN
tiers of population.
The people of the northern section
of Giles county and those in the south
en part of this county are beginning
to take lively interest in the road.
Some of the supporters of this route
also declare that it will be Of more
advantage to Columbia to take the
Pulaski route than it would be to go
over the other line.

MISS DUNAWAY
READER WAS ACCOMPANIED ON
THE PIANO BY MISS
MANN.

The Dunaway company, consisting
of Miss Hettie Jane Dunaway and
Miss Mann, entertained large and
appreciative audience at the High
school auditorium last night.
This was the fourth number of this
great course and was one that will
ever be cherished in the hearts Of all
who attended. Miss Dunaway ap-
peared in that celebrated reading,
"The Lady of the Decoration" and
with the beautiful stage effects and
the exquisite music rendered on the
piano by Miss Mann, 1t was an over
whelming success and the entire audi
ence was taken by storm. The cos
tunes were beautiful and the many
quick changes thereof caught the eye
and won the admiration of the astound.
ed hearers.
Miss Dunaway expressed her graft
tude towards the people of Columbia
for having once more been given the
privilege of visiting the city and stat
ed that she had never appeared before
a more enthusiastic and appreciative
audience during her Lyceum career.
This delightful reader has unan
imously won the sublimest admiration
of all Columbians and it is our only
wish that she may return again.

COUNTY TO DONATE
III THOUSAND FOR
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
EXPECTED THAT MEMBERS OF
THE COURT WILL AGREE TO
THAT SUM.
CANVASS is BEING MADE NOW
Judge Fry And Senator Church Are
Meeting With Cordial Assurances of
Support-Think That Prospects Are
Good for the School.

1t is altogether probable that ma
jority of the members Of the County
Court of Maury county will pledge
$4,000 toward the purchase of lands
in the county upon which to locate
the proposed Girls Vocational school
TO be established by the state. Chair
man Jno. w. Fry and Senator ]. W.
Clayton Church, who have the cam
paign in charge, are circulating
among the justices of the peace a
paper to the effect that they agree to
recommend to the next session of the
court, to be held in April such an
appropriation.
Signatures to the petition or pledge
have already been obtained from q
number of the members of the court
and it is not believed that any trou.
BILE will be experienced in securing a
majority Of the body. All readily
recognize the splendid asset that this
school would be to the county from
every standpoint. An investment OF
$4,000 in lands to secure an institu.
ton that in few years will mean an
investment in the county of from a
quarter to a half million of dollars
appeals powerfully to the sound bust
ness Judgment of the hard-headed and
careful members of the County Court
Of Maury county.
Chairman Fry and Senator Church
feel confident that upon the presenta
ton of this paper to the board Of trus
tees at the meeting next week that
Maury county will be able to obtain
the location of the school. It is
planned to have all the requisite sig
! natures and pledges by the end of the
week.
