(From the Americas Times, Tues

The following party left Sunday
for New Orleans where they will be
among the representatives of Ameri-
Gus at the Mardi Gras festivities:
Misses Bee Clegg, Fannie Campbell
and Hattie Windsor, Capt. P. c..

The first strawberries of the sea-
son, large, luscious and tempting,
made their appearance yesterday
They were exhibited by Mr.. Bloom
Brown and were grown, so to speak,
beneath his own vine and fig tree.
Mayor Fielder and Aldermen Will
liams and Davenport were on hand at
the hour for the council meeting lasi
night and Clerk Brinson was in his
place, but Aldermen Bivins, Loban,
Williford and Wheatley were not
present, nor did they show up after
an hours wait, so the council did
not meet for the want of a quorum.
Americas had very prominent
visitor as her guest last night. Ref
erence is made to H. P. Talmadge, a
member of the New York firm of
Henry Talmadge & Co. Mr. Tai
madge is a member of the famous
Jekle Island club, which has such
palatial quarters on the Jekle Is
land. He wanted to see a first class
railroad so yesterday President H.
c. Bagley of the Americas Invest
ment company, Messrs. G. w. Glover,
]. w Sheffield and Thornton Wheat
ley, directors of the Savannah, Am
CIRCUS and Montgomery railroad, left
for Lyons on a special thrain and on
that train they brought Mr.. Talmadge
to Americas as their guest.
Street Overseer Raiford had his
hands engaged yesterday filling in
some of the unsightly puddles on the
business streets.
The artesian well is still no good
as far as producing water is con,
cerned. The pieces broken had to
be ordered from the North, hence the
delay. There has been much com:
plant about the delay at the we'll and
these are the facts in the case.
Miss Marguerite Drane, to the de-
light of her many friends, arrived
from Buena Vista yesterday and is
the guest of Mrs. Allen Fort.
Capt. Sam McGarrah was able to
be at the warehouse yesterday after
noon for the first time in several
weeks He has been suffering with a
severe attack of the grippe. His large
circle of friends will join the Times
in hoping that he will soon be him
self again.

They say that thus death is a.phase,
and so far as they can discover, Il
final phase, of life; but that it be-
longs to life and not to things that
have never lived.
But even so they are not sure that
the door nail is wholly non-living
They have found it difficult to de-
termine where the laws begin to OPP
crate which in the higher spheres
we know as within the realm of life
The atom, which was only yester-
day supposed to be indivisible and
inert mass, takes on new dignity as
the home of two forms Of energy, a
positive kind and a negative kind;
and all the problems of the universe
seem to be inherent in it.

THE BOOK OF MARTHA.
The Wife's Chance Best.

"From the shadows under your

Thus Martha proceed. "Now Jane,
dear, just remember that no other
woman on earth has so good a chance
as the wife to make a man happy
and contented."

cts a good idea for any little
wife to keep in mind. And she
might add to the daily inquiry,
What am l making of my good
chance today?'"
l sighed. Martha's advice could
be found in the most ancient litera-
ture. In spite of my love of books,
and my honest endcavor to be a fair
specimen of my sex, / hadn't learned
much about the profession of the
wife. But neither had other young
wives whom | knew.

Conf q Bride

Keep him entertained"
| couldn't tell from Martha's tone
whether she was sincere or sacastic.
l decided to take her seriously.
IF you mean by playing up to a
husband that l ought to keep him fed
up on flattery-that l ought to strive
to be as decorative as a dancing girl
well, l didn't plan"
The office phone stopped me. The
call came from the girl at the office
board in the outer room. Martha an
swered the ring with:
"Mr. Mansfield may come in"
Then l saw her glance into lit
tie mirror which she kept in the left
hand drawer Of her desk, | saw her
pin few stray ailments of her spun
gold curls into place and I asked as
a joke;
"Who are you playing up to, Mar
tina Palmer?"
The suggestion of deeper flush
came into my friends pink cheeks
and a CLINT of excitement shone in
her violet eyes as she answered:
''If you insist on putting it so
Jane, Pm playing up to the best mer
l ever met in my life"
Suddenly l realized what | had
often suspected. A girl as pretty as
Martha was doomed to face certain
temptations in the business world.
Before l could speak, the office
door opened. The man who entered
might be the, best man in the world
couldn't decide that at a glance
but I could tell that he was unques
tionably one of the handsomest mer
I had ever seen.
