l coLoRs THAT BLOOM IN SPRING

BY Betty Brown
r Rose color, hunters green, bur-
gundy, gold-brown, midnight blue
and dove gray are the colors that
will bloom on our new spring bon
nets: The colors you will NOT see
are the yellow and the ochre. Fashion
has frowned upon these favorites of
the fall season. The white hat will
be noticeable by it's absence at the
millinery openings in February.
An unnamed blue that closely re-
sembles the blue made famous by
Alice acknowledgement hobs up
brightly wherever spring hats are dis
played-and there's a dull mouse
color gray that we may not like, but
we will surely wear it, for it comes
direct from Paris. Who will worry
about the havoc it works on COM
plexion?

HISTORY BUILDERS.
The Scene of a Famous Wartime
Meeting.
BY DR.. E. j. EDWARDS.

The first press dispatches which a few
days ago reported the destruction by FIRE
OF the once famous and highly popular
Burnett House, OF Cincinnati, Ohio
brought to the mind of a friend of the
late General Grenvfle NJ. Dodge, who was
fellow member with the general of the
Union League Club OF New York, an
anecdote which General Dodge when
upon one Of his visits to New York told
with the Burnett House.
when General Grant was on his way
to Washington to receive his commission
from President Lincoln as lieutenant
general in command Of all the Union
armies, he stopped over two or three
days in Cincinnati and was a guest at
the Burnett House." said General Dodge.
He had sent message to General Sher-
man asking the latter to meet him at
the hotel. The netting took place, and
some years afterward General Sherman
pointed out to me the rooms in which he
and General Grant discussed the plans
so far as 1t was possible to make them,
for the campaign IN the South, which
was to begin in the spring of 1854. /
thought, then, that that room should
have been Identified ever after as the
meeting place for the formulation Of the
plans of campaign which, having been
throw of the Confederacy.
Sherman told me that General Grant
and he spent many hours discussing in
that room the general plan of the cam
paign of 1864 They, at last, decided that
each general should direct his own cam-
paign in his own way, 1t having then
been decided that Sherman should at
tempt to cut the Confederacy In two By
marching across Georgia to the sea and
then gradually enveloping the Confeder-
ate army in support of General Grants
plan for the movement of the army of
the Potomac. They made a study of
many maps. Their minds met upon
many points. Each had supreme con-
fidence in the other, although there was
one feature of the plan much regretted
by Sherman. That was General Grants
insistence upon bringing General Sher.
man into direct touch with the army Of
the Potomac. Sherman wanted to keep
Sheridan with him.
"At last the plans were perfected and
the two generals separated, not to meet
again until after General Sherman's army
had reached Savannah and was on its
way North.
That was a historic room, and think
second in Importance. traditionally at
least, only to the house at Appomattox
where General Grant and General Lee
met to agree upon the terms which made
the restoration of peace possible"

to me. I didn't tell her to get 1t, and
want it Cancelled"
'All right, sir, I'll cancel It for you, -
volunteered the colonel You know we
don't want to make any one do this
against their will"
The young man seemed quite happy
afterward.
Col. Kroll stated that this is the first
instance, as far as he knows, that a
license has been cancelled under such
circumstances, at City Hall.

BRIGHT LIGHT
SUNDAY SCHOOL
History Of the School and Its Strug.
giles Interestingly Told by Mrs.
J. c. Davidson.

A little more than a year ago We
organized Sabbath school at the
Free VIII Baptist church known as
Bright Light. with about eighteen or
twenty pupils and MIR. Clyde Goen as
superintendent. Though II has never
come up to our standard as first
class Sunday school, especially In the
matter OF attendance. yet II has held
on through the trying summer months
with about an average attendance OF
thirteen pupils and four or five Off.
GERS.
This past June We nad an election
OF officers. which resulted as follows:
Mrs. J. c. Davidson, superintendent;
Mrs. Chester Jones. treasurer and sec.
rotary; Mr.. Clyde Goen. teacher of the
senior class Of boys and girls; Mrs.
Lola Rains, junior class; Miss De-
lores Thibodeaux, intermediates; Mrs.
Rea, infant class. For lack OF a teach.
er for the Bible class. the superintend.
ent consented 10 take that class. Dur.
ing all the summer months. with but
few exceptions. that class consisted OF
only two members. Mr.. Joe Ransome
and Mr.. Green Buchanan. Think OF II.
you older members OF Bright Light.
only two or three members In the
Bible class.
Mrs. Rea was absent month after
her election and the little ones soon
absented themselves. too. so that now
they are noticeable by their absence.
Most OF the officers and teachers have
been very faithful to their duty and
so have some OF the pupils. What We
need most is the interest and cooper.
alton OF the parents. II they could
only realize that the Sunday school
stands for righteousness. purity and
love OF God, surely they would cncour.
age their children to attend regularly
and come with them as often as pos.

ing somewhere. II Is our duty to
throw every influence for good around
them, for our natures trend naturally
to evil rather than virtue. and II they
are no, taught to love the church
while young. they most probably will
never love Il, and habit Ia such n
strong thing that We can soon form
the habit Of doing the right In prefer.
encc TO the wrong thing We ought
to have n regular attendance Of thirty
