About twenty - four years ago Mr Williams went away and had been scarcely heard of even by tfce few since then. Two weeks ago tfcis writer, in an item in this colvump, quoted,-or attempted to quote two lines of poetry (?) i v - which appeared in the Tattler a quarter of a century ago. In some manner the issue of The EscOkRD containing that item found its way into the wilds of I Central Georgia and met the eye of the editor of the Tattler, ?Kr Williams was immensely amused o^er the item which recalled day* long gone by when life was young and laughter Ittood on the lip's edge. He ;ent us a pleasant message and a correction. The message was like a bit of lavender and old face, bringing back the old days with all their tender pathos and sweet memories: and reminding us that our memory had slipped a cog and that the I orginal was even worse than the attempted quotation. We quot j? r^i . Itru its IUIIUW a. "Spring, sprang, sprung; I saw a bird on the whang.'' Mr Williams says that the original was: "Spring, sprang, beautiful sprung; This morning I saw a bee on the wung." Ye hoboes and little fishes! If those crackers of wire-grass {Georgia ever learn that he wrote this, Ned Williams' departure will be by "the all-rail I rpitte," with tar and feathers threwn in.

For the past few years Kingstree has made Memorial day something more thau a day for putting flowers on the graves of the dead. The people here have tried to make it a pleasant occasion for the living and to onr mind the heart of one old veteran made lighter and happier even for a day is far more of real worth than a iocen monuments towering skyward n their cold recital of the valor of lead heroes.
