r TENRY CABANISS, who was for
II many years business manager of
\ the Atlanta journal, has been
deacon Of the First Baptist Church for so
long a time that he is as much part Of the
institution as the immersion pool. When
Or. w. w. Landrum now of Louisville. was
pastor OF the church. he was asked one day
to explain why Mr. Cabaniss was annually
reelected as deacon He replied that it was
because the rowdy element in the church
demanded recognition. or course, II was
only a joke. because Mr.. Cabaniss Is really
one of the best loved men in All nta and
the two were great friends.

was all present for the purpose Of filling in

with the bad theatrical season on the road

onions in order to get rid of last years crop
before the new comes on and was merely
performing a patriotic duty. OF course if it
was just patriotism instead OF an inherent
love for onions that would make it an en-
tirely different matter.
Down in Georgia they have had to give
UP eating onions very largely No one
objects to the odor of just plain onions 1t
isn't that Neither does any one object to
the odor of corn liquor. 1t isn't that But
when you mix the two, putting down first a
layer of onions, following with a liberal por-
ton of corn liquor, there occurs an efiuvium
which would humilate a goat and which
lowers a polecat into the class of a rose
So they had to give up eating onions

Art looking for our old friend Barney Reilly
the words of the late Rev. Sam Jones, the
Georgia evangelist. came back to us. He
said II despise theology and botany, but
my how I love religion and flowers! So
if you will go to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art with that kind of spirit you will really
get a great deal aout of the pictures.
And, by the way. If you run across Barney
Reilly up there tell him are working on

THE Metropolitan Museum of Art is
one OF the most wonderful places in
New York Secretly we have always
wanted to be an art critic. There is no pos
sible explanation for this ambition except
that everybody on this earth wants to be
what he is not. Tall girls want to be small
and girls who make just a comfortable arm
full want to be Junos in stature. We have
red hair and we wish it were black, or 1t is
black and we sigh because 1t is not red.
Br1lnettes blondine their hair and whiten
their skins and blondes admire the olive
compilations of their sisters. The hearts Oh
fat men fairly ache because their figures are
not sylphlike, and the thin ones would swap
an arm for a paunch. No doubt many
burglar vets his pillow with tears at night
because he is not clergyman, while the
doctor of divinity dreams of the opportunity
to become stick-up man for just one night,
So we have always wanted to be an art
critic

characters will paint on them, and they will
pluck their eyebrows peel off the outer
skin, torture a permanent wave into their
hair. wax their eyelashes and twist them
together, paint their lips, rouge their cheeks
and think they are beautiful. They don't
know that when God made woman He didn't
allow much room for Improvement
Well when they get a creation" on their
heads. a toilette" on their bodies and fix
their faces as described they are something
like these highfalutin crticisms-you have

Barney Reilly when we went up to the
metropolitan Museum Of Art, but he was
not to be found so we went up to the second
floor and began looking at the pictures. 1t
reminded us of the most famous painting
we have ever heard of. We have never seen
this picture, but we would like very much

priest who had studied at the American Col
lege in Rome 1t was during the lifetime of
Pope Leo XIII, 1t seems a young painter in
Rome succeeded in securing permission TO
PAINT the portrait of His Holiness. The Pope
sat in the Vatican Gardens for the young
artist When the portrait was finished the
painter brought 1t to the Pope, who had
kindly nature, SO he merely smiled and
nodded instead of~aughing outright Then
the artist told His Holiness that the picture
would become very valuable If he would
write quotation from the Bible on it and

Whereas, by the disposition or the
divine Providence, our much esteemed
friend and brother has been called
from among us. In summing up the
many good traits of his character, we
can best say that this board has lost
one OF lis best friends. He was y wise
counsellor and aetivesworker, and did
everything for the best interest OF the
Seminary. He was man of fine adj
dress and congenial disposition, one
who was always ready To do a kind
ness 70 his fellow men. He was one
who always looked on the bright side
OF life. He was full OF wit and could
bring smiles OF Joy to all who had the
pleasure Of being in his company, even
the pessimlst.
Therefore, be II Resolved, That in
the death Of Mr.. Hammett our county
and State has lost ono of Its best citi-
zens. He belonged 10 "Ye olden type
of mem that are hard 10 find ia these
unsettled days. He was d devoted
husband, a kind and aifectIonate faith
err, d most loyal friend and a devout
Christian who lived up to the Church
OF his nativity.
It Is. Further Resolved, That the sec
rotary OF this board send copy Of
this humble tribute to his bereaved
daughter and pray that she may re-
ceive the divine consolation that is
promised to the faithful,
