A pail of sadness came over our
community at the news of the death
of Prof. H. R. Hunt of the A. & NJ.
College. Our community came under
the influence of his life and felt the
result of his good work; he had
touched the life of many of our boys
and girls and inspired them togreater
and nobler principles under his in
struction. We feel this great loss
and stand with bowed heads as he
passes out and bow to the will of
the All-Wise God. He will live on
and his work cannot be estimated.
We mourn with those who loved him.
News reached here Saturday night
of the death of Mr.. George Isabelle,
of Shamrock, Texas. His wife will
be remembered as Miss Jessie Har-
per, sister of Mrs. Annie Mcdonald
and R. U. Harper, of this place. Mrs.
Isabelle has many friends here who
will sympathize with her.
Mrs. Sallie Wardlaw spent part of
last week with her son, Jesse Warren
and family at College Park.
You should not worry, at our late
planting because we have experienced
very late paintings the last two
springs and we came through with
fairly good crops.
The latest accident was fellow
who rushed out to bring in load of
stove wood for his wife. The very
idea! He ran into a clothes line and
bent his nose and has been carrying
it in a swing ever since. No matter
for himl That's what he gets for
meddling with his wife's affairs.

Mrs. Newt Clay, aged rs years,

beside her husband who was buried
here in 1895.
We were pleading with our Coun-
ty Superintendent recently to patch
up some 3 year old mud holes on our
road; he said convicts were scarce
and he didn't have enough hands to
do the work. Since then good Cobb
county citizen said he saw 9 county
wagons and a bunch of convicts at
work on the Marietta ball park. Now,
l guess Acworth, Powder Springs,
Austell and Roswell will want to play
ball and it would not do to show any
partiality; why not fix them all.
What's the use of wasting taxes on
plain country roads as long as there
are any ball parks to fix? BY the
way, the country boys are mighty
busy in the crop and they would like
to have their ball grounds put in
good shape. 1t may take a bond is
sue before the work is completed but
the ball grounds and highways must

his avn way enjoys life. It is only once in while that Danny grumbles or gets downhearted.
 This was one of the mornings when Danny was wee bit out of sorts. Nanny Meadow Mouse didn't blame him. She felt much the same way her self. You see it was this way: The Green Meadows were no longer green but brown, and the air was sharp with more than hint of the coming of win ter. Redtail the Hawk, and his cousin, old Whitehall the Marshhawk, had left for the sunny southland for Q week or two Danny and Nanny had been quite free from worry of possible danger from the sky. It was a great relief not to have to keep one eye rolled up all the time least a feathered hunted <catch them unaware. To be sure they still had to watch out for Reddy and Granny Fox, Old Man Coyote, Black Pussy, and at night for Hooty the Owl, but with Retail and Whitehall gone they felt quite as if they were having holi- day.
 But on this particular morning Danny had made a discovery. On the top of the Big Hickory Tree over near the Smiling Pool he say some thing black something which had not been there the day before. It was so far away that it looked like little more than black spot. In fact it looked very like a part of the tree itself. But Danny knew better. He knew just what that black something was, and he scowled as he watched it.
 He's come," grumbled Danny.
 Who's come?" demanded Nanny, hurrying to Danny's side.
 ''Old Roughleg the Hawk!' snapped Danny II don't see why he cant stay up north where he belongs and give us little peace. Goodness knows we have enough dangers to watch out for with out being bothered by him. I hoped he'd forget to come back this winter or something would happen to him. Any way, I hoped he wouldn't come so soon. Must be that winter will soon be here. It is bad enough in summer, with Red tail and Whitehall snooping around, but there is plenty for them to eat besides meadow mice. But now it is differ ent and that fellow will spend half his time trying to catch us"
 Well, he didn't catch us last win ter" said Nanny hopefully.
 No, and he won't catch us this win ter" grumbled Danny. still sowing at that distant black spot. Still he's one thing more to worry about. II seems to me that we have the hardest time of anybody in the whole wide world. We mind our own business and don't harm any one, and yet every

 Maybe it was" the giant agreed. But you see, Raggedy Ann, I have lived in the cave for years and years and I never have eaten anything like cream puffs, or doughnuts or anything good like thatv'
 Magician Muggles is an unkind Magician!" Raggedy Ann said as she took out sixteen cream puffs and nine doughnuts from her basket and gave them to the Giant. "He has magical charms of his own and should be able to make a magic boat of his own"
 These cream puffs and doughnuts are very good !" the giant said. Just wait here a minute and I'll see if Magi- clan Muggles is on your magical boat v
 Pretty soon the Giant returned and said: What do you think, Raggedy Ann? Magician Muggles was on your boat. but he could not make it sail, an

 Thank you, Mister Giant" Rag, gedy Ann said. "Now if you will re- turn to the boat with us, we will give you a whole lot more cream puffs and doughnuts and ice cream cones" So the giant went out of the cave with the Raggedys and the little fat Cap tain and the Raggedys carried the goodies out to him until he ate so much he went fast asleep. Then Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy made great pile of goodies in the Giants lap so he would find them when he awakened Then, with smile, Raggedy Ann sent the magical boat sailing along the path through the deep, deep woods.

 "It doesn't seem so," Nanny agreed. Then she added softly: But still we've got lot to be thankful for"

 ''Aha!" Raggedy Ann said. Now we ae prisoners, I'll bet nickel !"
 Yep! You are" very loud voice replied, and into the great room walked a giant.
 "Oh, dear! It's giant!" the little Captain cried. What does he wish to capture us for?"
 "Yop have a very fine little magical boat, haven't you?" the giant asked.
 And Magician Muggles just tele- phoned me to get you into my. cave and keep you prisoners until he sailed your boat away!" the giant explained. And as Magician Muggles promised me some goodies if I helped him capture the boat I made the boat stop right at the en- trance to my cave and here you are prisoners !'

"How My Wife Has Helped Me"

HOW MY WIG I1dS f1elp0U WIG. THE unusual success of a man in a
 business supposed by most people to
 be the best operated by women made me want to learn to what extent Mrs Collins had helped her famous husband, Harry Collins, one of the most prominent dress importers in the world.
 It was not an easy task to interview Mir, Collins. He is an extremely modest man and reluctant to talk about his wife, although he gives her credit for practically all of his success in busi- ness,
 Ny wife" said MT. Collins" repre- scented to me all that is charming, womanly and sweet and she made me realize the possibilities of elevating the standard of good taste in dress for all women.
 "There is nothing so vital to women as the art of knowing how and what to wear.
 "From the time the first needle perhaps of bone, perhaps of wood, but presumably of the former-was pushed through leaf or skin, down to the small, shining, steel stilettos of today, wom an has woven around her thread and neddle and sewed into her garments the romance, the poetry, and the dreams of her life.
 "sThe finely white manicured hands of beauty, the toil-worn fingers of I housewife and mother alike are inspired by the everlasting beauty of life and love.
 "Through my wife began to see that women's paths in the world of dress might be illuminated and that they might better express the latent charm and boise inherent in almost all wom- en.
 Ut seemed to me that good taste in dress was the magic wand needed to bring out their charms. l could not have seen this except for the inspiration of Mrs. Collins presence, her sense of beauty and fitness and her constant CO., opera tion. Women who saw her wanted to dress like her.
 Need l say that our domestic re- lations have been no less successful We have been married eleven years and have a nine-year-old son and a two-year- old daughter to whom she is constantly devoted.
 Besides her artistic sense and her practical help in my work she possesses the gifts of a good mother and splendid home maker-to my mind, meaning more than the possession of her other remarkable talents
