Letters From Paris.

]My dearest Mother:
I have just come in from "Au
Printemps," the largest department
store in Paris. It is by far the hand
somest place of the kind I ever saw,
and must be the best in the world. I
i save seen New York's best, and Lon
don's best, and they are not in the
same class with "Au Printemps."
Three buildings occupy the point
where three streets come together;
.the interior of the prettiest of the
three is circular, and standing on the
?first floor you can look to the top and
practically see everything in the |
building. Each floor is like the gallery
of a large theatre and each is a de
partment to itself. At the extreme
top is the "Salon de Tea" which I was
told was the best in Paris, so I make
it my business this afternoon to find
out. While it is probably the largest
I do not agree that it is the most ele
gant. In fact I know of several small
er places far more attractive to me.
You can find tea rooms all over
America, but I assure you compared
with these, they are a regular bur
lesque. Our people have not caught
the idea in the slightest yet, and when
they do and the right sort is started,
somebody will find the long talked of
"bonanza."" The first requisite will
be to learn to make tea, and~then fol
low that up with French pastries.
We are equal to the toast and
"bread side of the proposition, but
these pastries are a marvel to me.
You seldom see two alike and the
mystery is to try and figure out what
they are made of. When it comes to
cooking and the art of wearing
clothes, Paris can beat the world.
Many of the spring'styles are already
displayed and I can tell now, what
the fashionable young girl will be
wearing nj^ct summer in Asheville.
The windows here are decorated with
the touch of an artist; never very
much and are not crowded and jam
med as in New York, and even the
inside of the stores have that effect
of breadth and space which only an
artist could arrange. It almost seems
foolish to tire yourself out looking
at tombs, cathedrals and relics of
dead and gone ages, when life is pul
sating around you in every attractive
form. Everybody seems to lead a lazy
happy sort of existence; nobody eats
breakfast and there is no reason for
getting up, for if you do you will
have the whole of Paris to yourself.
No business opens until nine o'clock
and dress makers start at ten. If you
you go to a cafe before twelve, you'll
probably be the only person in it,
and everything decidedly unready for
business.
We went to the Eiffel tower today
(located in the Champ de Mars), but
did not go to the top; it seemed such
a tame sort of thing for mountain
eers, and was lots more fun to sit in
the gardens putting questions to
Frenchmen and then figure out at
liesure their replies. It is a strange,
chattering sort of nation, saying as
much with gestures as with words,'
yet always very polite. We met with
one today who had been staying in
Wales and spoke English very well.
He seemed so proud of it that he
wanted us to move to his hotel so he
could have some one to talk with,
as though he had gotten above his
native tongue.
Paris has the biggest Opera in the
world and w? are anxious to go, so
today we went to the ticket office, all
the time wondering how we would
ever get located or find out the de
tails of time, price, etc. Imagine our
pleasure when we discovered an in
terpreter ready to take care of us,
and arrange things. She was quite
a young girl yet she spoke five lan
guages, and turned from one to an
other with equal ease whenever need
ed, and did it well, too. I suppose
she must be a high priced helper and
the magnitude of the place demands
such an assistant. Seats must be pur
chased at least a week in advance and
even then I am afraid we got a poor
selection, but it only cost six francs
(about forty-five cents in our mon
ey). Compare this with Grand Opera
in New York or Atlanta.
We have learned to find our way
?quite well now, yet we must be mov
ng on, so as soon as we get letters
from .home we'll have to go. It seems
ages since your letters arrived in
London.
Lots and lots of love.
GRACE.

Dearest Mother:
I have been to the American Ex
press office twice for mail, but there
is now no hopes of hearing from
home till another ship arrives. I sup
pose we will move on tomorrow and
have our mail forwarded to Rome in
case any comes before we return.
The Opera was wonderful last
night, and it will stand out as one of
the memorable events of our trip
over here. This is given at the "Na
tional Academy of Music," and is the
biggest thing in Grand Opera in the
world. The building is a most artistic
and imposing structure in a central
part of the city, and your first im
pression is, it seems almost a waste
of space. There are large halls and
promenade galleries, and standing
around everywhere are officials in full
evening dress including the high silk
hats and white gloves. They direct'
you where to go, and there is an in
terpreter for every language. To
show youwith how much system they
have this business carried on, we
were careless enough to lose our tick
ets which I wrote you we had bought
a week before, and in two minutes
they -had located our seats without
any tickets at all. They had our
names marked on chart and we were
identified by our pictures on our pass
ports.
The Opera given was the "Legend
of St. Christopher" set to music by
a French composer named Vincent
d'Indy. The composer was present
and personally conducted the entire
performance. This emotional French
audience would rise to their feet and
even yell ?t times, in giving him an
ovation, and if so much as a whisper
was heard during any part of the
performance, they hissed their disap
proval of such discourtesy. These
people love art with such intensity,
that if you do not behave yourself
or show a lack of appreciation for its
beauties, I do believe they would just
as soon pitch you out as not. At the j
close of each act the entire audience

even go to a cafe in the Rotunda and

them to return and in a few minutes
all are seated. A pin fall could be
heard in that huge crowd of attrac

lasted four hours and was almost one
o'clock when .we retired. Tonight
"Samson and Delilah" will be given,
and tomorrow night "Rigoletto,"
either one of which I would rather
have seen, but could get no tickets.
You can go to any of these for the
remarkable sum of forty cents

a bribe, and if you don't tip them,
they'll demand it, and will quarrel an

greedy souls. Granted everything is
cheap here, but when you include
the tips demanded, you have paid: a

Why Colds Are Dangerous.
It is the serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the re
ception and development of the germs
of influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
dyphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and measles. You are much
more likely- to contract these diseases
when you have a cold. For that rea
son you should get rid of every cold
as quickly as possible. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will help you. It is
widely known as a cure for bad colds.

Pastor C. B. Wright Dead;
Buried Tuesday in Athens.
Rev. Calbraith B. Wright died at
the Baptist pastorium here Sunday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. He had
been confined to his bed about two
weeks and appeared to be better the
latter part of last week, but at noon
Sunday was stricken suddenly and
did not recover. His health had not
been good for over two years and
Bright's disease was said to be th?
cause of his passing away. He was
born near Johnston, S. C., and was
forty-three years old last September.
Brother Wright came to Warrenton
about ten years ago, since which time
he served as pastor of the Warrenton
Baptist church and of Long Creek
chureh, preaching two Sundays in
a month at each church, up to a few
months ago when he also became pas
tor of the Mill Creek church, preach
ing once there, once at Long Creek
and twice each month in Warrenton.
His bereaved wife and daughter,
Margaret, have the deepest sympathy
sf the entire county in this the sad
dest hour of their lives. Mrs. Wright
?vas before ' marriage Miss Mary
Holman, of Athens and is held in
.lighest esteem by all our people, hav
ng been a faithful and earnest helper
:o her beloved husband in his, the
lighest and most honored position
;hat a man can hold. Brother Wright
vas one of a large and influential
'amily and is survived by five broth
es and four sisters, all of whom lov
;d him dearly and were greatly shock
id and grieved at his unexpected
leath. His brothers are Messrs. Os
iar W. and Jefferson M. Wright, of
Tohnston, S. C., Dr. Horace L. Wright
)f George tc-. S. C., Mr. Henry T.
Wrig'-' of Batesburg, S. C., and Mr.
r.ulian C. Wright of Charlotte, N. C.
The survivnig sisters are Mrs. G. G.
Waters, Mrs. H.' W. Dobey and Mrs.
ff. J. Edwards, of Johnston, S. C.
ind Mrs. R. Y. Levell of Newberry,
I. C.
Among the relatives who came for
he funeral were his brothers,, Messrs
)scar W., Henry T. and Jule G.
Wright; one sister, Mrs. Waters; a
lephew, Mr. Julian P. Bland, and a
leice, Miss Lizzie Wright, of John
ton, S. C., and a nephew, Mr. Colley
Wright of Batesburg, S. C. Mrs.
Wright's brother, Mr. Robert Holman
md her brother-in-law, Mr. Will
Scott were here from Athens Sunday
md Monday.
As a preacher Brother Wright
.anked high among those in this state
md never delivered a sermon with
>ut much deep study and prepara
ron. It is said of him that he spent
nuch time also on the short talks he
nade each Wednesday night at the
peayer meetings here and his hearers,
vhether of a sermon or talk, were
ilways deeply impressed by his
words. Every member of his congre
gations loved him and will long keep
iiis life in loving remembrance.
As a citizen, it wquld be hard to
find a man who loved his country
better, or who was more deeply in
terested in the temporal welfare and
uplift of all her citizens. During the
ten years he resided here he became
almost as a native son and deeply
loved Warrenton county, this being
evidenced by his words both in pub
lic talks and private conversation,
and it is needless to say that this love
was returned by our people of all de
nominations, and also by those not
affiliated with any church. As a hus
band and father, love and tenderness
marked his every word and act.
Funeral services were held in the
Baptist church here at 4 o'clock Mon
day afternoon and were conducted
by Rev. D. A. Howard, of the Thom
son Baptist church, several other min
isters taking part. Dr. E. J. Forres
ter, of the Baptist church at Sparta,
made a short but impressive talk;
Rev. W. F. West, of Thomson, offered
a fervent prayer, and a most beauti
ful tribute to Brother Wright's mem
ory was paid in a talk by Rev. J. 0.
Brand, pastor of the Methodist
church here, who was a close friend
and co-worker with Brothes. Wright.
The floral offerings were beautiful
and many came from people in every
section in this county, and from otger
counties and states. The remains laid

Philippi News.
The boys of the intermediate Sun
day school class of Philippi met with
two of their members, Wayne and
Jasper Derrick last Tuesday night,
March 1. A very large number was
present. Their teacher, Rev. .G. M.
Sexton was present and organized
the class.
They chose as a name for their
class the "Hustlers," and they are
going to live up to it.
The following officers were elect
ed: President, Cecil W. Scott; 1st.
vice-president, Jasper Derrick; 2nd.
vice-president, Brunson Derrick; 3rd,
vice-president, Wayne Derrick; sec
retary, Claude Thompson; treasurer,
Ernest L. Derrick.
Membership committee, Captain,
Otis Thompson; Willie Duffie, Willie
Thomas.
Sick committee, Captain, Clinton
Clark; Everett Williams, Edwin Duf
fie.
Social committee, Captain, Nolan
Salter; Ernest Derrick.
They planned to put on a campaign
to round up the old members who
haven't attended Sunday school late
ly and also the ones who have never
attended.
A list was made of these and the
secretary was instructed to write each
one an invitation to come to Sunday
school the next Sunday. Then the list
was read and as each name was call
ed some members of the class volun
teered to go in person and invite
them. One of our members, Wayne
Derrick, happened to misfortune
playing baseball and broke his leg.
"THE HUSTLERS."
Unidentified..
The way he spit out red hot gas
And ripped around and blowed
With such an outward show of brass,
You'd thought him an old style
Ford.
His coat had the cut of the fashion
flirt,
The cut went up to his shoulders
And exposed what is called the "tail
of a shirt"
That startled his beholders.
His pants fit him awful tight,
And a lot too short did seem;
The socks he wore were loud and light
His supporters were a dream.
i
His shoes were what called English
toe,
And I know they were only sevens,
Just to keep up with this fashion,
show,
Really they looked like elevens.
His hat appeared to have been in a
wreck,
Somewhere out in the street,*
The way the crown crimped up bore
as, funny aspect
As you would care to meet.
He wore a mustache called Charlie
Chaplin,
Like Charlie sometimes wore,
When on the stage, just to help him
Look more like a fool, you know.
He had his hair clipped above his ears
Like some little plug mule,
With the rest pf it like the cap a boy
wears
When he does wrong at school.
His hair was parted in the middle,
Which means second fiddle for him,
And his chances for playing even sec
ond fiddle
In life's drama is but slim.
I have styled this unidentified, .
For just between us three,
I could not readily now decide
Whether this was you or me.
