My Treasure Chest.

I've gathered up those dearer things
With much | would not part,
And laid them carefully away
Yet close beside my heart;
Those things on which Time has no
lien,
The things I love the best,
The priceless things more dear than
life
These are my treasure chest.
My confidence in fellow man
And my belief i'll God;
The heritage of my old home
Deep rooted in the sod;
My rosary of sorrow,
My beatitude of tears;
The glory OF my mothers love
Still shining through the years.
The fullness of the summer noon,
The o'erflowing harvest horn,
The whiteness Of a winter night,
The flowers of Aprips morn;
The soul that turks within a song,
The faith within a child
The beauty that all nature holds
For one who loves the wild.
Mere wisdom never can replace
Illusions fair of youth,
And yet these things I've boarded up
And wrapped about with Truth
Are recompense for all the days;
They'll stand the final test
OF the fit and the eternal,
Deep within my treasure chest.

AS TO HOSPITALS.

Editor Dawson News: l believe in hos
pitfalls The greatest boon to humanity is
health, and the Christ always healed the
body before He appealed for soul cleansing;
but two appeals in The News of yesterday for
Atlanta hospitals are not founded on sane
business sense. The public spirited men of
each county in Georgia of the number of
population of Terrell through the county
board of physicians, should found an up-to-
date sanitariuns-if not already founded by
private means, and if so founded it should be
supported with gifts for treatment OF all the
ills of those too poor to pay adequate charges,
and of the paupers of the county by the
county itself Fulton county is well able to
care for its people. Randolph, Stewart, Ter
rell Dougherty, Calhoun and Lee, where your
paper circulates, should attend to their own,
but if the ministers wish Methodist or a
las privileged patients, there could be no OBJ
lection to their contributing to UNCONVENTIONAL
Institutions, for the average pastor in all
churches moves every four years, and hence
cannot have any local habitation, and for
these they themselves should provide, but
for the layman, who must necessarily stay at
home he needs his health shop near, just
as he needs his tool shop. The railroad fare
paid for patients sent to Atlanta sanitariums
by the counties named would go far to sup
plying the INDECENT of the several counties,
If added to the fees paid by the we'll
to do patrons of these sanitarums. Then the
up-keep and the doctors fees paid by all would
go to build up the counties, instead OF i'm
Ipoverishings, as at present to build in Atlanta,
where these are not needed. Yours Tor home

Quit Hanging Crepe.
From the Quitrnan Free Press

Stop stalking hard times
Quit gathering in knots on the street corners
and telling everybody you never saw anything
like it.
Don't be a crepe hanger.
Any cheap skate can be a good winner,
but it takes courage and grit and faith to be
good loser.
Have we got grit or will we lie down?
When we talk hard times we absolutely
destroy business. We destroy confidence and
courage. The time and energy spent in wall
ing could be used to advantage in trying to
ing something else to help the situation.
Let's be good losers. Let's have courage
and cheerfulness-sign manual of manly

Swans Ring the Dinner Bell.
From the Columbus (ohiol Dispatch.

A flock of tame swan frequent the moat
surrounding the bishops palace at Wells,
Somerset, England, and one of the sights OF
the town is to see the birds ring a bell for
their meals A rope hangs from one of the
windows, the end of which is in easy reach
of the birds as they swim around the water,
and when the birds are hungry they tug at
this rope, which rings a bell, and food is
thereupon thrown from the window The
birds were taught to do this by daughter OF
the bishop who lived in the palace 90 years
ago, and the trick has been handed down
from one generation to another.

THE LUCKY FARMER.

From the Jackson Progress-Argus.
You may think your lot is hard one, but
if you will look around you will find people
who are less fortunately situated than your
self. Take a man in the city with everything
to buy, with the shop or factory closed down
and high rents and fuel bills to pay. Compar-
ed to that man the farmer, with his own pro-
visions, free rent and plenty of fuel is lucky
individual. In times like the present there may
be better place than the farm, but it is hard
to imagine such a place
