HIGH SCHOOL COLUMN.
D. W. MEADOWS, Editor elect by Class.
MAKE THE BEST OF EVERYTHING.
We e we to adopt this motto many of
our troubles would be changed to pleasures.
We know some persons w o carry out this
motto. 'I hey are always happy, pleasant
and agreeable. We know others whose
motto seems to be the reverse of thi-. They
are always unhappy, unpleasant and dis
agreeal le. The former, no matter h' >w
unpleasant or discommoding a thing is,
do not frown, nor repine, nor act so
as to make all around them feel wretched.
They are cheerful; always wearing a
pleasant smile, which not only makes every
one around them pleasant, i ut also encour
ages them to bear their troubles with pa
tience. To be with these persons is alm st
enough to make one desire adversity ; for
it really seems that they are happy in mak
ing the best of everything with whic i they
meet. In the latter, let their lot be ever so
desirable, let them have every advantage,
let almost everything the wish be their’s,
and yet they will complain. They will say
their lot is a hard one, that eveiybody else
has superior advantages, that they never
have anything they wish, that they are the
most miserable persons living, that it seems
that they were born for trouble, etc., etc.
To be with these persons is almost enough
to make one tired of life; when we are
with them on any occasion they are cross
and sour. If we anticipate a nice time on
a pleasure excursion our hopes are blighted,
they wear such a m serable countenance,
and make so many grievous complaints
a l -out heir deplorable condition that unless
we have learned to “make the best of
everything” we are rendered quite unhappy.
Even the whole party become affected, and
the joys of the day are turned to sadness.
The action of these persons would make
one think the world colder and darker than
it ieally is; they would make one think
that everything in nature was intended to
cause sorrow. This is only because they do
not “make the best of everything.” They
never look at the bri-ht 4de of the picture.
The former may reside in some obscure
place in a miserable hut, while the latter
may nside in the most noble mansion of
the great metropolis; yet the former is by
far the happier. Hence we see the im
portance of the motto, “make the best of
everything. ’ ’
Land Surveying.—Prof. K. B. Tripp<
had occasion on last Saturday morning to
conduct his surveying class into the woods
for the first time they had ever been out.
They were not required to form their own
problems, and survey merely for practice,
but from certain data they were required
to lay out 1 ts that are to stand as surveyed.
Ihe students had never set up an instru
men', nor attempted t • take the bearing
of a line. However, on surveying the lots
they ran out exactly on the head of a pin,
not making the least error in any of them.
This sh ws us the importance of under
standing what we pretend to do. Prof.
Trippe is very much gratified to see com
plete success attend their first efforts. It
speaks well for him as a teaeher; it tells
him that his labor in the school room has
not been for naught. Just think of a class
of boys going into the voods—wen learn
ing to adjust the instrument as they go—
and surveying lands without making a
single error.
Gordonian Society.—Simply for tie
information of the members who a e not
with us, we notice a few points in regard
to the society. We claim Colonel James P.
Simmons, Rev. George E. Gardner, Dr. M.
Rich rdson, Professors James U. Vincent,
R. B. Trippe, C. B. Vincent, and others
that belong to the school, as new members
of the society. All these i>re intelligent
and energetic men. Although our society
has been quite interesting heretofore, it is
evident that with thi® aid it will be far
mare so hereafter. We expect to have
public exercises about the clo e of this
school term, and we hope to welcome al
absent members to our laxly on that occa
sion ; we will Inform you brother Gordo
nians of the time for the exercises.
The Vincentian Society.—We are hap
py to learn that the amiable young ladies
of “The Vincentian society” 'ill gives
public entertainment about the last of this
•naton.
We can hardly be patient for the time
to come, for we know, from the intellect
of thorn* be utiful and fascinating young
ladies, that they will give us nothing but
what is grand, instructive and entertaining.
We promise ourselves “an ther happy day
in Norcross” on that o casion.
Spelling.—Last Friday evening the en
tire school was divided into two classess
that spelled ag inst each other. It was
agreed that if a member or. membe a, in
one class missed a won! and that wo d was
spelled by some member of the other class,
the member or members missing should
take their seat Those who are familiar
with exercises of this kind can imagine the
pleasure as well as as the benefit derived.
Claud and George say it is no fun to the
fellow who haa to leave his class—especially
when every body laughs at him.
Something for All.—Come one, come

O
THE ADVANCE
Is designed to promote all the great
interests of our readers especially, and of
our country and race generally.
To do that we promise to give them each
week the most important news, both
Foreign and Domestic ; the Market Re
ports and Atlanta Prices Current; the
Legal Sales of Gwinnett and a few other
counties,etc., and such Literary,Scientific,
Educational, Political, Agricultural and
Religious reading matter as we may from
time to time think most interesting and
profitable.
In Politics the ADVANCE will be
independent; but it will not be partisan,
nor do injustice to any party, oi indi
vidual, knowingly. And, as we hon
cstly believe, that the first and chief care
of all Christians should be to defend our
holy religion against the wiles of Satan—
his hosts aud tneir arms, we will discharge
this sacred duty, as best we can, under
the guidance of Him who is able to direct
and keep us in the way of truth.
We will also studiously avoid giving
cause of offense to any professed Christian
on account of difference of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
build up any one branch of the Church
more than others, nor to injure any one oi
them.
OUR RELIGIOUS PLATFORM.
We believe that there is a per
sonal God—who created and over
rules all things—that Jesus Christ
is His Son and our Savior, and that
the Holy Ghost is His messenger
and our instructor.
That the Bible was written by
inspiration of God—is true—and
the only safe foundation for
Christian faith and practice.
That the soul is immortal—that
there will be a resurrection of the
dead and final judgment, and that
the punishment of the unre
deemed will be eternal.
And will insist, that all who
agree in these fundamental propo
sitions,and seek salvation through
Christ, constitute his Church, and
should all unite and co-operate
with Him, and each other, in the
sacred work of redemption, as an
affectionate family of brothers
and sisters.
