Mrs. Betty Wilson, the first
lady of the kitchen, who is teach
ing cooking class this week in Ma
con attracted more ladies in Allan
Ia than the big auditorium could seat
This proves the interest all women
feel in the fine art of cooking and
its Importance in the scheme of
house keeping However, cooks like
poets are born and not made and the
old darkey was telling the truth
when she said:
But cookin 5 like religion is,
Some's 'lected an some amt,
An rules don't no more make a cook
Dan sermons makes a saint"
There are many first class colored
cooks in Marietta in even unpretenl-
ious homes and all the boarding
houses are famous for the delicious
food they serve A venerable color
ed brother confided to me soon af-
ter we came here to live that Mari
etta's good cooks attracted summer
boarders heap mo- than the pleas
ant climate.
"Ubi apes ibi mel"
A recent Mexican railroad seen
ario' at the Gem illustrated the old
fashioned girl who bestowed her af-
fections impulsively and silenced all
adverse criticism by the sentiment.
Il know that | love thee whatever
thou art
Her sutton, who had shown no in
clination to get busy in any way,
was sent by her father to inVesti-
gate acknowledgement in the building
Of a railroad of which he was a
contractor or chief Of construction.
If the said sutton, succeeded in his
mission he was to marry the girl
with her fathers consent. Instead
Of making good, however, the low
err fell at once under the spell of
dancing girl, bottles of wine and the
benumbling languor of the land of
manana. As soon as the girl dis
covered where her lover was she has
tened to him with only her maid as
an escort and after many hairbredth
escapes and runs on horse back and
in a railroad engine she finally res
cued the young man from Mexico
but the ending escapes our mem
Dry The brides father had gone
down to recover his daughter in a
magnificent automobile and the
story must have closed with wedding
bells. 1t is fortunate for men that
a woman convinced against her will
is OF the same opinion still
Just after seeing that splendid
moving picture Of Niagara Falls at
the Gem we Glanced upon a pen pic
ture of our own Toccoa in a letter
from North Georgia by Mr. J. A. Hall
giving an account of a recent visit
he had made in that vicinity:
Wandering on | entered the main
road which runs along the Toccoa
river and in a short time another
sound came to me, a sound that al
ways enchants and delights me. 1t
was the solemn roar of falling water.
Pausing on the little bridge which
spans the stream | could see clearly
through the leafless trees, and only
short distance from the road, two
gigan tic, white, feathery ribbons
hanging from the brink of beetling
cliff into the depths Of the wooded
gorge 1877 feet below.
Il went up and stood in rapture at
the foot of this foaming torrent. The
recent rains had filled the stream
and the beauty of the falls was there
by greatly enhanced.
1t was a glorious sojourn | haa
there in the sun-it gorge alone with
the roaring torrent. Seldom have |
had better company or company
whose presence seemed to be worth
SO much to me- 4 brilliant rainbow
/ played across the bottom Of the
gorge, the great white ribbons way
cred and swayed like the bridal veil
