RANDOM NOTES
By Old Caesar.
There is one attempt in which
failure Is unforgivable—the attempt
to be funny.
A man only asserts he hits done
his best when he feels he might
have done better.
Self-mastery always must lie at the
beginning and not at the end of the
life of service.
The world is famishing more for
spiritual sympathy and care than fo~
food.
How often when a heart-broken
mother would comfort and console a
ruined and lost daughter, she is con
fronted with a cry of aJiguish from
her lovc<l one, "Your love and desire
to help me, mother, has come too
late.’*
Strange, yet true, the less a large
majority of people know of anything
the more eager are they to give
themselves an airing in public to show
off their silly ignorance.
The box supper at Sowhatchee
school house last Friday night was a
great success. The neat little sum
of $44.05 was realized. The great
est sensation and most exciting pull
was the huge cake by Mrs. J. G.
Chambers, to be auctioned off to the
prettiest girl. Misses Jewel Still, of
Sowhatchee, and Jewel Widner, of
Liberty Hill, were the acknowledged
girl leaders in the commencement.
A short, but briefly contested effort
was made by both sides, which re
sulted in an even game. 810 votes
each for the two young ladies. The
amount, received for this cake was
$16.20. The auctioneer for the oc
casion was Mr. J. €. English, of
Liberty Hill, one who doesn’t carry
the word "fail” in his vocabulary.
This was not only a box supper, but
a program in songs and recitations
tor Thanksgiving day was beaut it al
ly carried out. Then the stage was
a most delightful fair scene. Many
products grown at Sowhatchee were
on exhibition, all nicely arranged, in
which the children were much inter
ested. Mrs. Leo and Miss Morgan
had only three days in which to get
ready, with no lessons lost, until
Friday afternoon. These ladies
wish to thank those who so faithful
ly supported their efforts for the
occasion.
Mrs. Hoyl Fleming, of Blakely, is
teaching in the primary department
at Sowhatchee during the illness of
Miss Hay. Mrs. Fleming is not a
stranger to us, and tits in the school
work as would a veteran.
