Miss Mary Spears Gilmer, vale¬
dictorian of the finishing class,read
an essay, which would do credit to
a person of maturer years. Her
easy manner and graceful delivery
was a source of delight to her many
friends and admirers, and she is to
be cangratulated particularly for
her clear, penetrating voice.
fc ( The Star Spangled Banner”
was then sung by the school, after
which Pro. Barrett introduced to
the audience, Mr. Jos. Camp, who
delivered a lecture on “Truth and
Shams.”
Seldom has it been the privilege
of our people to hear so gifted and
eloquent an orator. We feel that a
vote of thanks is due Prof. Barrett
for having introduced this eminent
lecturer to our pepie.
A pleasing feature of this occasion
was the patriotism shown by the
small children when reference was
made to the present war with Spain.
Any allusion to American victory
brought forth the wildest enthu¬
siasm from these young people,
which met with a hearty response
from the sympathetic audience.
“Dixie” was next sung, and met
with as much applause as usual
when this great southern song is
heard.
Prof. Barrett belivered the diplo¬
mas to the following young
ladies Misses Mary Spears Gil-
mer, Sallie Strickland, Mamie,
Ramsay and Mamie Owen.
“God be with you” was sung as
the closing song by the school and
audience, which was followed by
Rev. Gober pronouncing the Bene¬
diction.
Committee Make Changes.
The Democratic Executive
Committee met at Clarkesville
on last former Tuesday and revoked

It also declared that re^is-

in the primary and that all
qualified voters would be al-
lowed to vote in said primary
who would agree to support
the nominee.

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was
the subject, is narrated by him as
follows : “I was in a most dreadful
condition. My skin was almost
yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides,
no weaker appetite—gradually day growing
cians had given by day. Three physi¬
me up. Fortunate¬
ly a friend ad\ ised trying Electric
bitters, and to my great joy and sur-
prise, the first bottle made a
ded improvement, I continued
their use for three weeks and am
now a well man. I know they
saved my life, and robbed the grave
of another victim.” No one should
fail to try them. Only 50 cents per
j bottle at E. R. Davis & Co’s drug
store.
Be Careful to Censure.
If some men who are so free to
criticise the conduct of boys, would
stay out of the gutter themselves it
might have a wholsome influence
on the boys. They could at least
criticise others with better grace.

Air. John Peterson, of Patout-
ville, La., was very agreeably sur¬
prised not long ago. For eighteen
months he had tried three of the
best doctors in New Orleans, be¬
sides half a dozen or more patent
medicines, but received very little
relief. Chamberlain’s Colic Chol¬
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, having
been recommended to him, he gave
it a trial and to his great surprise,
three doses of that remedy effected a
permanent cure. Mr. Wm. Me-

Opinions from John Ruskin,
There is also a confused notion
in the minds of many persons that
the gathering of the property of the
poor into the hands of the rich does
no ultimate harm; since, in whoso¬
ever hands it may be, it must be
spent at last, and thus they think,
return to the poor again. This fal¬
lacy has been again and again ex¬
posed ; but grant the plea true, and
the same apology may, of course,
be made for blackmail, oranyother
form of robbery.
Nothing in history has ever been
so disgraceful to human intellect as
the acceptance among us of the
common doctrines of political econ¬
omy as a science.
Profit, or material gain, is attain¬
able only by construction or by dis¬
covery ; not by exchange. W hen-
ever’material gain follows exchange,
for every plus there is precisely
equal minus.
The rich have hitherto only count¬
ed their gain ; but the day is com
ing when the poor will also count
their loss—with political results
hitherto unparalleled.
