SHARKS ON NEW JERSEY COAST.


An alarming story is seen In news
parars that man-eating sharks are at
tackipg bathers on the much-frequelnted
coast of New Jersey and where men
and women bathers are wont to disport
themselves in the warm waves or the
Atlantic ocean One boys body was
recovered bitten nearly in half at the
waist. Three dead persons are now
recorded and one, bitten severely on the
leg. is in hospital in critical condltlon.
In hot weather periods all sorts OF
rcptiles get bold and audacious on lane
and sea My grandson caught up
snake in the corn crib today that is
Pronounced to be a "rattlesnake pilot,
and it may have bitten horse which
seems to be ready to die in our town
horse lot.
In ponds and swamps as well as on
the ocean fronts these dangerous
things are wont to congregate. A word
Of caution to bathers In our georgia
ponds may not be amiss at this writing.
Nan-eating sharks were often written
about in years gone by. The horror OF
being buried at sea is intensified by the
belief that sharks will be ready when
the corpse is lowered into the ocean.
In equatorial regions the story of rabid
shark attacks still continues to be re-
pcated. Danger turks in all ponds and
lakes and lagoons on our own coasts
and overlooked river lands. Perhaps
the alarm as :. to sharks on the New
Jersey coast will be wholesome. We
need to remember that poisonous rep
tiles are deadly foes to human life.
July is upon us and July and August
have hot days and nights that move
all things with life to migrate around.

The same principles of purity, goodness
and deliciousness made another astound-

plants have been established all over the
country to take care of this branch.
Just think of it-over 90,000.0O0 glasses

THE BRAVE AT HOME.
MI, o,,,o. Buchanan Rad

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smiles that well her pain dis
sembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry teardrop hangs and trem-
bles,
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
AS e'er believed the field Of glory!
The wife who girds her husbands sword
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
And though her heart be rent as
Sunder
Doomed nightly in her dreams to near
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of battle:
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she
presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and
brief
kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon
her.
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor!

CLUB NOTES
:=:: Official Organ State Federation of Clubs :=::

Mrs Edward Shaw, regent of Maii- copa chapter Daughters Of the Amer jean Revoiution is immensely pleased with the essays submitted by the public school students in contest .nstltuted by the chapter.
 The idea Was to have each contest ant impersonale some revolutionary character, either real or imaginary in order to aVo-d the appearance of copying from their histories" said Mrs Shaw yesterday. The most of the work shows a good insight into the excellent memory and splendid i'm agination. Some of the work is fine in punctuation and form, but shows only d temporary interest and is al most devoid of any display of i'm aginative power. I hope to announce prizes, rules and regulations soon after the first of the year for another contest as it is not only a patriotic duty but a pleasure to encourage q rising generation of writers"
 Miss May Hurley, Miss Helen Arm strong and Mrs. Bessie Hicks Schulz were the judges and the prize winners were John Sampson, Marion Dun can and Louise Reynolds with honor able mention to Walter Barney. Kath- crime McGowen and Giessner Gregg.
 Following are the prize winning essays:
