THE SUWANEE RIVER
Some bright young men of the Unit-
ed States geological survey have gone
into Southern Georgia and Northern
Florida to make certain investigations.
They have found that a stream known
locally as the Suwanee (orSewanee or
Bw&nee) River is only an ordinary
creek .affording some sort of lazy out-
let to the waters of the Okefinokee
Samp, and is as unimportant and un-
lovely as swamp creeks usually are.
That was all right and part of their
business. But when these young men
-—went so far as to report that the im-
mortal river of Stephen C. Foster’s
:song is little better than a mere ditch,
they committed a colossal error. It
Ss a blunder to which very practical
men and very literal minds are particu
laxly susceptible. They have confused
the realm of geography with that ima-
gination, and have fallen into the fal-
lacy of trying to measure with gauges
and surveyors’ chains something which
Is beyond logarithms and laughs at all
the laws of trigonometry.
The real Suwanee River does not
vise In any part of Georgia. It rises in
the highest mountains of the human
soul and is fed by the deepest springs
«of the human heart It does not flow
through the swampy regions of Flori-
da, but through the pleasant sunny
lands of memory. It does not empty
Into a material sea, but into the glori-
ous ocean of unfulfilled dreams.
It.leaves the shores of childhood. Its
k
current ripples with the low, sweet
melody of recollections, softened and
made misty by distance. There is such
mystical power in its waters that who-
ever finds himself wearied and worn
My the struggle of living has only to
kiuaff and gain nepenthe.
It is far. far away, but the heart is
ever turning to it, because there’s
mfeere the old folks stay. On its banks
may be only a hut among the busheB,
Mut the bees are still hamming around
ft by day and the banjo is still thrum-
ming there in the starlight. And so
they win continue to do while memor-
ies of home and simple hopes and af-
fections are the most prized posses
sions of mankind.
It was a quaint jargon, such as prob-
ably was never actually spoken by any-
body, that Foster first sang about It.
Nevertheless, his plaintive ditty has
become one of the great songs of all
times. The surveyors who would find
the true Suwanee River must hunt not
among the Florida swamps, but
among the majestic streams of in-
finite tenderness and love.—South-
western Machinery.

“HOT DOG” PARTY
Seven couples of young people,
dressed in overalls, am! gingham dress-
es ,got on a truck at about seven
o’clock Friday evening and proceeded
to have some wholesome out-door fun
before old Jack Frost arrives to make
such uncomfortable. They were
chaperoned by Mr. and Mis. Fred Ho-
gan.
They motored to the bottom land and
tall trees near Edgar, built a fire and
roasted weiners and with other things
edible .formed a repast that was eaten
with a healthy appetite induced by the
out-of-doors and the jolting ride in the
lumbering truck.
After that, jokes and stories were
told and received with appreciation
demonstrated by much laughter, until
the last dying ember of the camp fire
proclaimed it time to go home. And
so, after another jolting,-but after all,
a jolly ride, the members of the party
were dropped off at their respective
homes and thus come the end of a
perfect day.
Those enjoying the evening were:
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hogan, Misses Zozie
Ginn, Grace Key, Fay O’Neill, Grace
Davis, Hazel Mason, Marie Nell Gynn,
Thelma Miller, Messrs. Lee Salazar,
Willard Ginn, Frank (Boots) Miller,
Rodney Davis, Alfred Samford, Everett
Moore and Earl Davis.

BILIOUSNESS
Retired Minister Telit How He
Keeps in Good Form With
the Assistance of
Black-Draught.
West Graham, Va.—The Rev.
Lewis Evans, a well-known retired
minister, now past 80, living here,
bas a high opinion of Black-
Draught, which he says he has
taken when needed, for 25 years,
“For years I had been suffering
with my liver," he says. "Some-
times the pain would be very in-
tense and my back would hurt all
the time. Black-Draught was the
first thing I found that would give
me any relief.
“My liver has always been slug-
gish. Sometimes it gives me a lot
of trouble. I have suffered a lot
with It—pains in my side and back,
and bad headache, caused from ex-
treme biliousness.
“After I found Black-Draught, I
would begin to take it as soon as I
felt a spell coming on and it re-
lieved the cause at once. I can
recommend it to anybody suffer-
ing from liver trouble. A dose or
two now and then keeps me in good
form.”
Made from selected medicinal
roots and herbs, and containing no
dangerous mineral drugs, Black-
Draught is nature’s own remedy
for a tired, lazy liver, NC-166
The next meeting will be held Nov.I
16th in circles.
