And nobody pitied or gave,
And none of the dead who have

Neither scholar. nor soldier. nor

Or toiled without claiming his fee
Can't you picture today as you go
on your way
What a horrible world it would be?
If nobody cared wether others sur
vived,
Or whether or not they were glad;

For only the gold to be had;

BOX SUPPER WAS
SPLENDID SUCCESS
HANDSOME SUM WAS REALIZED

SOURCES.

The box supper at Pateville Satur-
day was a splendid success. Over
40 boxes were received and all
brought a good price, the highest box
bringing over $500. "@T
Mr. Pres Gleaton of Cordele auc-
toned them off, and, be it said to his
credit, he showed the same hustling
spirit as an auctioneer, that he shows
in his successful mercantile business.
A large an beautiful cake was al
so RACED off and Prof. j. A. Knot of
the Cedar Creek school, drew the
lucky number.
1t was a large and joyous crowd
that attended the box supper and all
enjoyed the occasion. especially those
who participated in the exercises
finding the owners of the boxes and
emptying the same.
Something like 500 was realized
from the sale CT the boxes.

Once upon a time a woman is said
to have been allowed to sit at the

this Is pretty fiction.
