Ny maternal grandmother, who was
born Lucy Talbot (and married to my
grandfather, Thomas SWIFT, inherited
the old homeplace. where she was born
in Morgan county, Georgia. She died
nearly sixty years ago, and it is likely
that her parents owned the homestead
many years before she was born
This old home had n beautiful flower
yard. ard there were some aithea bushes
of splendid proportions, that l can reco!-
lect in my childhood, and /, too, have
passed by eighty-third birthday. When
my mother, the eldest daughter OF her
family, married, she carried some al
thea bushes from her mothers garden
and transplanted them at her new
home. When my sister and myself were
married, we carried some of these al
thea bushes to our new homes.

packed the armory almost
from floor to ceiling. It was a

He is entertaining and conyinoine
ana ne knows how to rouse his hear

a stirring story told with modera-

in by the imagination skilfully stimu-

speaker
Awful Toll of Death.
Mr. Gerard said it was difficult for
the people here, so far from the ac-
tual scenes of war, TO realize what
thls struggle means to civilization.
III you could place the bodies of all
the men actually slain in battle in
line, head touching feet, it would

his return to the United States to ex-

been inaugurated in this country by
Germany through the medium of the
textbooks in American schools. In
one of these books he found the state
ment that Germany was union of
states similar to The United States of
America, Mr.. Gerard then showed
how the German ballot is based on
wealth rather than on mankind. He
said a survey was made in every vot.

a man worth three million dollars
had as many votes as ten thousand
other men who might be worth only
three thousand dollars.
