In memory of a. kind husband and a
loving father. William e. Jones, who de-
parted this life, February 10th, 1923:
I will not say that he is dead
He is just away
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave of the

He has wandered into that unknown
land
How very fair it needs must be
Since he fingers there
And we, oh we, have the widest yearn
For the ole time step and the glad re-
Think of hinl-faring on as dear
IN the loVe of there as the love of here
We will always think of him still the
same

She was just sleeping, and would wake up soon to the old long ing and emptiness. But dream-lips cannot give passionate kisses; dream arms cannot hold one in a strong, comforting clasp"

 She tried to hold him off. to pro test that she was not worthy. But he only laughed.
 "You are not to call my wife ugly namcs." he said fondly.
 And then she broke down and cried again.
 But only because am SO happy!" she told him. "oh, David. If you knew how much have wanted to see you!"
 Not more than I wanted you, my sweet"
 It seemed impossible that it was really David saying such loving things. She had always been a little afraid of him, always held him lit- tic in awe; and yet now
 She broke out trembllngly:
 But you don't know; I haven't told you You don't know how I have deceived you" r

"Oh, my dearest-my dearest" he said brokenly.
 "I always shall say" Miss Narney declared afterwards, that she be- gan to get well from that moment. It's wonderful what love will do. I'm an old maid myself, but I am sure there is nothing more wonderful in all the world than a mans love for a woman"
 That was weeks afterwards. when Mary was down at the Red Grange again. with the faint flush of return ing strength in her white face.
 She was lying out on the lawn, under the shady elms, and Miss Var ney was watching from the open window.
 It was David to whom she spoke; and he turned away with little self conscious laugh.
 You ridiculous old lady" he said. But he came back and kissed her. "And-and doesn't she know I'm here?" he inquired, with an effort.
 Miss Narney laughed,
 'I never told her word She's afraid of you, David, I do believe.
  l speak about you--not that l speak about you very often," she added added mischeviously.
 David had been away for the last fortnight. As soon as Mary was out Of danger he had left home.
 It was golden afternoon---one of the brightest gems from the wonder full necklace of June days. The bees were droning sleepily in the roses; birds chirruped in the sunshine. Somewhere at the back of the house dog parked.
 Mary closed her eyes. It was so good to be here after the noise and heat Of London; so good to lie still and forget everything that had wor- rietf and hurt her. If only David were herel IT only he were here be- side her. and
 She opened her eyes with little impatient sigh, and found him bend- ing over her.

 into marrying Mary and persisted in
 aIluding to him as "poor David" l until even Monty lost his temper. and told her it was a pity she could not 1 hide her chagrin instead of showing l it 10 everybody.
 This brought forth the usual burst of tears.
 How unkind you are Nobody cares in the least how unhappy I am or what becomes of me-" But Monty had heard the same plaintve vail so many times it had lost it's poignancy, and he merely walked out of the room and shut the door rather forcibly.
 That was on David's wedding day. He and Mary were married very quietly in London, with nobody to witness the ceremony but Miss Var ney. who wept copiously the whole time because she was so glad and a gray-haircd old verger, who smiled and wished everybody Good luck." half-a- dozen times over.
 If was neanW the end of June then.
 "The most wonderful June in all the world," so Mary said as she and David drove away together. "I only wish everyone could be as happy as I am."
 Her thoughts went back to young Evans and Dolly: and she wondered if it were very selfish of her to be so utterly happy and contcnted.
 And then the picture of a lonely grave somewhere in France fitted through her mind where lay all that was mortal of the man she had once loved, and for a moment 8 little shadow fell over her facc.

of the retail trade. It is noteworthy that whenever a few clear days oc- cur that sales increase with startling rapidity.
 Generally speaking, retail stocks arc low. The retailers, however, are only buying in hand -to-mouth fashion. Jobbers are well supplied with merchandise and are in po- sition to fill almsot any orders in re- markedly short time. The same holds true with respect 10 manufac- turers' deliveries. The manufactur- CTS have the stock on hand and are well able to take care of orders. Railroad service has also improved to a degree where it is possible to fill them rapidly. Price changes are about, on a par with the previous week. The majority of changes have been of d minor nature, however, and are equally divided between advances and reductions.

 "I know, suppose ought to be glad, but I'm not, l think I'm ieal- ous of everyone who speaks to you, Mary"
 You need not be-" she told him shyly. But if you could help him a little--I should like to help him little David"
 "You shall do what you like, my queen"
 David, does Miss Fisher know about-about me-"
 She flushed up to her eyes, meeting his. He kissed the hand he held.
 Does she know that love you, you mean?" he asked tcndcrly. Well, l should think she must guess, though I haven't exactly told her." He hestatcd: then: What are you thinking about now?" he asked.

 And David said
 But here the little god who had been sitting between them with folded wings, chuckling at his own clever ness in having brought about yet an- other love match. stretched them wearily and yawncd before he flew away. For, after all, what David was saying was only what he had heard many, many times before. and it bored him stiff.
 It was very ill-mannered of him; but neither David nor Mary would have cared. had they known. For David's arm was round her waist and her head was on his shoulder, and both their faces were turned to the sunshine, and a future which they would share together.

NEW ERA OF BUSINESS
PROSPERITY IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Sept. ia new era
of business activity and prosperity is
making its appearance in Georgia and
the clouds that have been lowering
over the State are leaving declared
former Governor John M. Slaton in
an address. before the. first fall meet
ing of the Atlanta Association of
Credit Men held in the new Chamber
OF Commerce Cafe. He spoke on
what Shall We do with Prosperity
Georgia is an agricultural state, and
therefore wholly dependent upon the
farmers, he said. Whatever comes,
the farmer leads us ALL"
Gov. Slaton based his prediction on
the new period of prosperity in Geor-
gia and the brighter agricultural out
look, arising from the farmers sue
cess in combating the boil weevil, fla
vorable weather conditions and a de-
termination on the part of growers to
diversity crops, but he declared, Geor-
gia still is far distance from being
self-sustaining. He pointed out Geor-
gia is buying from other sections APP
proximately $lOO,oOO00O worth of
meats annually, thousands of cars of
hay, Irish potatoes, onions and other
things which, he declared, could be
produced in the State, thus enabling
the farmers to use the proceeds from
their cotton crops in other directions.
Must Raise Food
"When the farmers learn to raise
their own foodstuffs and not spend
the proceeds from their cotton to buy
these necessities, the business prob
lens of the State will have been cur
ed" he emphasized,
He declared that cotton is not only
essential for the South, as its chief
cash commodity crop, but that the
world depends upon the South to pro-
duce the material that clothes the
world" We are making progress in
our endeavor to live at home, Mr..
Slaton said. He declared that if Den
