You were seventeen when 1t occurred,
and the object of your affections was
exactly your WI age, a classmate, In
fact.
And You loved with n love that kept
you awake all night and cnused you to
dream all day. It was an impersonai.
aboye.the.earth kind of love. II set
you apart from your family. 1t en-
fecbled you mentally and physically.
You did your tasks 10 inadcQuately
that your mother despaired and your
father concluded that he was the pnr-
ent of d sniveling defective. You were
impcrviOus to insult. You loved to
hear your name coupled with that Of
your beloved, and yet-the beloved was
50 much too good for you that you
never thought Of letting your love pass
your lips. Never did the loved one
dream Of your love!
And when you were eighteen You
gazed In wonder ut this former object
Of your admiration. How could YOU
ever have imagined you loved anyone
rs uunttractive, AZ stupid and nltogeth'
or unl0vahle m TINT! 10 do the years
change us !--DelinentOr.

day morning. Also, there should be
a large number OF automobile owners
TO volunteer to go to Baden and meet
the president and commissioners
when they come through from Way
| cross Friday evening. 1t would be
even better if a number OF cars went
through TO Waycross Friday morning
and accompanied them to Brunswick.
Since the meeting of the directors
OF the Dixie Highway here i'll March,
1916. there has been no more impor-
tant meeting than the one to be held
here Saturday morning, at the request
of the president of the association
and the Georgia commissioners, at
which they are asking the county and
city officials and all other advocates
OF good roads to meet them There
is grave danger that the designation
of the route through Savannah and
Brunswick to Jacksonville will be

on which it WAS selected are not
complied with soon 1t was promised
that these improvements would be
made, and on that condition the COM

route through Waycross to Jackson

critical point where the people along
the coast may lose the official desig-
nation for their road as Il part OF the
Dixie Highway. which in itself would
divert practically all of the through
travel, which is increasing at a won
derfuI rate
Also, there will be presented at the
meeting here Saturday the project
on which President Allison has been
working in Washington OF inducing
the United States to include the Sea

Certain things must be done to make
it possible to induce the government
TO include the route.
responses being received to the
invitations sent out TO every town
from Savannah to Jacksonville by the
Board OF Trade indicate the most un-
usual interest in the meeting. and
that there will be a very large num-
Der OF prominent people in attendance
at The meeting. 1t is feared that
BrunsWick's people, usually apathetic
at this season Of the year. will each
leave it to his neighbor to show an
interest i'll the meeting by attending.
