WENT POINT KKMRKTft LEAVING Of Prof. Pork* mid Mrs. Winston, W’lio Come to Our School Here. West Point great’y regrets to lose the servlets of Prof. J. K. Purka ami Mrs. Eunice Winston, the first or whom has been their honored Super intendent for the past nine ve&fs, and the latter a valued teacher in their schools. This sentiment finds <x- presBion in the following extract from the West Point Herald and the rea- olutlona adopted by the Board of Edu cation of that city: When the teacher* and pupils of the city schools learned that their beloved Superintendent, J. K. Purks, would never hlb relation with our school at the close of this session In order to accept a more lucrative posi tion, they decided that they could not more fittingly express their apprecia tion of Mr. Purks than by presenting him with a substantial token In shape of a present. Quite a nice sum was cheerfully and gladly contributed by teachers and pupils, and was Invested in a cab inet containing a dozen each of the best solid silver knives and forks, beautifully engraved. The matter was carefully kept from Mr. Purks until Friday afternoon, when he was given a surprise. In stead of marching from the building as usual at the sign of dismission, the pupils and teachers took position in the down stairs hall und J. T. Dixon, who hod been requested to present, the silver, with a few re marks expressive of the sincere Te- gard and affection that prompted the gift and of the universal and deep regret at the thought of parting with the faithful superintendent, handed Mr. Purks the cabinet. In behalf of the teachers Mrs. Lura Harrell then read touching resolutions adopted by the teachers. While these informal, yet very tender exercises were being gone through, tears coursed their way down many cheeks, making the occasion a most touching, tender and memora ble ono, and giving the highest and most convincing evidence of the genuine sincerity of the feeling that prompted the gift. By invitation of the teachers Mrs. Purks was present and came in for her share in the ex pression of appreciation. The scene will be Indelibly Impressed upon the memory of every one present —-West Point Herald. Pay up your subscription to THfi dTANDARD. The following is the paper read by Mrs. Lura Harrell, alter having been unanimously adopted by the teachers: “Almost nine years ago there cable Into our school a new Superintend ent—a stranger to us all. Ere long wo caiuo to know him; then to ad- mlro him, to esteem him, to love him. To us, hla co-workers, he lias proven not simply a discreet, conservative leader, but his generalship, If we may so term It, has been so permeated with kindness, sympathy and eonsld eratlon, that we deetii it a very great privilege to have been associated with him in this capacity. Professionally, he needs no testi monial from Us; he needs none so cially, none morally nor religiously. A character like his makes its im press; his reputation is firmly and fully established. So It is through no sense of duty or obligation, that we feebly express our appreciation of him. A written expression is all wo can offer, for we feel so keenly the loss that we shall sustain in his going away, that words fail us when we are in his presence. Wo are losing a capable loader, who has led us nobly; a wise counselor, who hus advised us conscientiously; a staunch friend, whose friendship we count ourselves fortunate to have en joyed, and shall continue to prize. Ills career in our midst has been a decided success, as the numerous expressions of love and esteem from hundreds of voices bear testimony. Mr. Purks. inasmuch as it falls to our lot to release the claim upon you as our Superintendent, the pupils of vthe school, together with us, ask that you accept t{iis,remembrance as a to ken of the feelings that we entertain for you. _ We heartily bom mead you to the new people among whom you are to labor. May your efforts in this new fldhl TVS' ^rowftfid with success, and may choicest'blessings rest up-. on you and yours. Faithfully, J. H. Bradberry, Eunice H. Win ston, Inez McGaugh, Lura W. Har rell, Mary Willis Little, Carrie Lou Griggs. RESOLUTIONS OF BOARD. Whereas, J. E. Purks has for nine years served as Superintendent of the West Point Public Schools, discharg ing his duties with a high degree of efficiency and in a manner highly satisfactory to Board and patrons, ad ministering the affairs of the insti tution with rare wisdom and remark able tact and skill, and stead ly ad vancing its every interest and increas ing its thoroughness; and Whereas, in addition to his work in the school room, Mr. Purks has proven an Influential und most valu able citizen, planning and laboring in behalf of the public good, and giving unstlntlngly of his time, energy and effort to whatever looked to be the broadest and truest development of the mental capacity and moral charac ter of the young; and Whereas. Mr. Purks has resigned the superintendency of our school to accept a more lucrative position as Superintendent of the Cedartown City Schools, therefore ho it RCsolved, 1st, That as members of the Hoard of Commissioners of the West Point Public Schools. In busi ness session assembled, wc do hereby express our sincere appreciation of the wise, tactful, thoroughly efficient and entirely satisfactory service J. E. Purks has rendered as Superintendent. Resolved, 2nd. That we profoundly regret that we are not financially able to make it to his Interest to remain at the head of our institution, and that we part with him with the greatest reluctance, feeling that our school and city are sustaining a great' loss in the going from our midst of so capa ble an educator and so valuable a citizen. Resolved, 3rd, That we give Mr. Purks unqualified endorsement as a teacher, a inan of marked- executive ability, a high toned Christian gen tleman, a useful, enterprising and public spirited citizen. Resolved, 4th. That we congratulate the School Board and citizens of Ce dartown upon their good fortune in having secured his services, and most heartily recommend him as in every way w’orthy their utmost confidence and highest esteem. Resolved, 5th. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our min utes. a copy be sent to the Secretary of the Cedartown Hoard, and a copy he handed Mr. Purks. For a period of eight years Mrs. Eunice H. Winston has served this Board and community as a member of the faculty of the West Point Public School. As a graduate of our own High School and of Shorter College, Rome, she has uniformly reflected and still reflects high credit and honor upon these Institutions. A lady of rare culture, a true Christian character, tactful and resourceful in handling children, kind yet_firm in declpline, commanding the respect and obedience of pupils, she has done her work with a thoroughness and efficiency that has been entirely satisfactory. In view of the fact that Mrs. Win ston has withdrawn her application here to accept a more remunerative position in the Cedartown city schools, we as members of the West Point Board of Education desire to express our sincere regret at losing her from our school. If we had the financial ability, we would gladly advance her salary to such an amount ns would retain her on our force c^f teachers. We desire, farther, to give this voluntary expression of our highest appreciation of Mrs. Winston and the excellent service she has rendered. And we do hereby give Mrs. Winston our heartiest and highest endorsement as a capable aud successful teacher and a lady of the noblest Southern type. We congratulate the Cedartown Board on having secured her services and unhesitatingly recommend her to them and the good citizens of Cedar town as worthy their fullest confi dence, feeling assured that she will discharge every duty faithfully and reflect honor upon the institution she is to serve. Sunduy School Resolutions. Mrs. Estelle Hardwick, one of our most popular young matrons, makes a suggestion which will doubtless ap peal favorably to the ladies of Cedar town. She thinks that the ladies might, in connection with the Chero kee Driving Club, build a cosy log cabin in which they could entertain their friends in large or small num bers during the summer months, in stead of at their homes. Many ladies would gladly entertain but for the great amount of work thus entailed in the home, a difficulty which would be pleasantly overcome by this sug gestion. Tonight.

Brad ford's drug store. Our Methodist Sunday School is realizing in the death of Miss Geor gia Lowther a great loss. She has gone in and out among us, first os a lovable child, then as an exemplary pupil, and later as an efficient teacher, a cultured womanly woman and a sin cere friend. She was a living, loving Christian— true of tongue, honest of heart, pure of conduct and lovable in her dally life. Her hands were ever ready to minister to the sick, to do some kind, thoughtful act for invalid or aged, and In proportnion as these acts were appreciated will she be missed. Of a modest, retiring disposition, "she did a thousand kindly things that no one knew." With truth it might be said of her that, "He who serves his brother best, gets nearer God than all the rest." In the passing away of Miss Georgia Lowther we recognize a great loss, not only in the Sunday School but in every department of church work; and we, her colleagues, know' how ef ficient and valuable were her services. In token of our appreciation we would ask that these expressions of esteem be inscribed In the Secretary’s book of our Sunday school, that a copy be sent to the family of de ceased, and that a copy be furnished the city press.

Many people In Cedartown, both men and women, who believe them selves to be In perfect health, are of ten in the greatest danger. The most common cause of ill health is indigestion, with a myriad of symptoms such as headache, sleep lessness, specks before the eyes, pains in the back and side, distress after eating, etc. In the last few years the success of physicians everywhere with Mi-o- na stomach tablets has made them known far and wide as the acknowl edged specific for the treatment of stomach diseases. They strengthen the digestive organs so that in a few days the stomach is in such shape that it takes care itself of all the food that is eaten without pain or distress. T. F. Burbank gives absolute un qualified guarantee that your moaey will l*o lefunded unless Mi-o-na cures., He takes the whole risk and the remedy will not cost you a penny un less R cures you.
