GA-.DtS— R. F. D. NO. 2.
By K.
I have read with much interest of
the meet, • of the Stat. Conference
Ca Education, recently held in the
city of Atlarua, an 11 am giad to see
that Georgia is taking a str-n forward
in school work, and will likely enact
laws to meet urgent needs. Every
body in the State should be impress
ed with its significance. It has
brought to the State some of the most
intellectual minds of the country, and
we hope that much good may follow
in its wake, Ext-Presiden' Roose
velt has said. “The government can
do much, meaning the State govern
ment, because such work is beyond
the scope of the National govern
ment.” The State govrnments can
and ought to do more than they are
doing in educating their children.
There is no nobler charity, nor any
more vital to the welfare of the State
than to provide for the moral, physi
cal and intellectual well being of the
children within its borders.
- Suffice that the State government?
do their duty, there is another ele
ment which. is far more Interested
in this matter, and which argument
brings the subject home to us. If
the State takes the initiative, we
must meet it and respond to her gen
erosity by giving our children the full
benefit, of such aid. Governor Hoke
Smith, who is heart and soul interest
ed in the subject of education, and
whose address was one of the features
at the session of the Educational
Conference, says: "The greatest op
portunity for special effort upon edu
cational lines, which our section
sentsis in the rural schools. Edu
cation is the problem of life. It fits
the oung and old for the duties
of life. We must not stop at knowl
edge, derived from books alone, but
build character, which must prepare
tin child to be an actor in future
struggles of life." So, let us be im
pres ed with a solemn sense of duty
to all, and Jo all we can to protect
the little ones, intrusted to our care
and projection, and give them ajll
that is due them on this line, “Edu
cation is the very essence of human
progress and human development.
The highest purpose of man should
be to serve his God, his country and
ills fellowman."
The farmers through this section,
(witli the exception of a small area,)
have about wind up planting, and
commenced running around corn. On
my recent visit to Blakely, I noticed
some corn en route that was splen
did for this time of the year—good
stalk, good color, and in good health.
The Williams Bros., who seem to be
hustlers, keep right up with their
work, and their farm is in nice shape,
fn fact all the farms on this end of
the route show up well.
We. of the route, are sorry to note
that our clever mail carrier, Mi>
Womack, has been suffering from a

brother, Mr. T. J. Weaver, of Blakely,
two sisters, Mrs. Mary Hilton, of
this place, and Mrs. Nannie Salter,
of Webb, Ala. Parker was 28 years
old, in the prime of life, and bid
fair for many years to come, yet in
full strength of young manhood, the
God of wisdom and mercy has seen
fit to remove him from our midst.
We can say of Parker that he was
a kind and indulgent husband and
father and a true friend. We point
the loved ones to Him alone who can
console the bereaved and aching
hearts.
Monday morning at 2 o'clock. Mrs.
Lena Weaver, wife of Mr. L. C. Weav
er, Jr., died Just a few hours before

er was in the prime of life and leaves
a husband, three children and a host
«|f relatives and friends to mourn
her loss. She was a devoted wife,
a loving mother, a true and consis
tent Christian. She joined the Free
will Baptist church at this place in
early childhood. Her constant thought
was to see those near and dear to
her Christians. We point the dear
ones to Him whose love is sufficient
and complete. In that beautiful
clime beyond the clouds, some sweet
day,her loved ones can join her and
realize all the grandeur and beauty
of that newness of life. The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. W.
T. Wiley at the Zion cemetery. Tru
ly a good woman is gone.

Did you ever think about the ef
fect of kindness? It is one of the
greatest things in existence. It is
one of the best ways yet to gain
friends —to be kind. Treat every
body kind and true and you are sure
to gain friends. But if you are un
kind, you are sure to lose what few
friends you have and not gain any
more. Be friendly and kind to all
and you are sure to gain friends and
success. Just think how everybody
disdains an unkind person. Every
body wants to be with a kind person,
but there is not any one who wants
to be with an unkind person. Be
kind, friendly and true and you’ll have
friends. JUNIOR.
