10000 Years from To=day Chicago will be under Water
Twelve months ago, it was heart-rending, to think that a young man,
living in the city of Douglas, who been wounded by Cupid’s cunning darts, was
unable to buy what he wanted, and w hat he knew would please his lady love,
because it was not here for him. To-day the headlight of fashion is shining in
on our beautiful city through the medium of

Mean W hiskey Again.
At the school closing at Ar
nie church last Saturday, three
of John Solomon’s hoys, loaded
with mean booze, which showed
up well for Fitzgerald booze, from
the results, got to raising too
much racket for the good people,
and Col. Corbitt, a very old and
esteemed citizen of the county,
went to them and asked them to
keep quiet. The Solomon boys
took exceptions to this and cut the
old man Corbitt on the hand and
and would, in all probability, se
riously handled him, had it not
been for the interference of oth
ers. Mr. Roe Paulk, in trying
to stop the trouble, was serious
ly cut across the forehead, and it
in dangerous condition. An in
nocent partyjwhose name we have j
not been able to get, was shot in !
the leg by a stray bullet. The
trouble about these affairs is j
that, the innocent are the ones
who suffer. YVe are sorry to
have this report from this sec-!
tion, as the people who live there
are among our best citizens, and
are known far and wide for their)
peace and good order. These i
boys are in jail and will be prop-
erly punished, but this does not
make amends for the damage
done to those who are injured,
nor to the characters of the boys
who acted so wrong and dis
gracefully. We refrain from
moralizing, as it would in all
probability do no good, but we
hope there will be no recurrences
of these disgraceful affairs in our
good county.
For Sale Cheap.
I will have for sale in June,
about two hundred goats cheap

WHY EDUCATE THE CHILDREN ?
i
Pertinent Questions From Prof. Hendricks,
More To Follow.
With thanks to the Enterprise
for space in which to express a
few ideas on the above question,
I will begin by giving what I
think to be an acceptable defini
tion of education.
Education means such a devel
opment of an individual in head,
hand, and heart as will make the
mind quick, accurate, and logical
in its operations, high in its hopes,
and lofty in its aspirations; the
the body strong and vigorous,
ready to do the biddings cf a
cultured and ingenious mind; and
the heart pure and right in all
the varied issues of i : fe. Please
read the definition again. I
never saw it in any book, but
have found it by reading in the
great volume of human life.
Men sometimes tell me that they
know educated people who live
immoral lives, or engage in the
questionable practices so common
in our day. They tell me that
they know educated thiefs, edu
cated drunkards and gamblers,
educated libertines, and educated
j burglars, or yeggmen. I shall
be frank enough to admit that
there is an element of truth in
such statements. Some people
have either gone through a sys
tematic course of training in or
der to be more proficient in doing
evil or else have allowed them
selves to be led into such by one
influence or another. To that
extent they have been educated—
or trained, in such things. There
may he men who can read Greek,
Latin, and Hebrew fluently that
revel in sin and debauchery; but
they are not educated. There
may be men of brilliant parts l

;of a ft lon, but they are not edu
cated. There may be women of
high mental qualifications dwel
ling in the gilded palaces of sin,
but they are not educated. They
are not educated because they
have not received that moral cul
ture, that righteous equipoise
which would certainly make them
consider the great demands upon
them to give their bodies in v\ fi
ling service to their fellows and
to “keep their hearts with all
diligence ” That education cr
development which touches not
the whole,—triune man is a mis
nomer and a delusion. Trust it
! not; for unless the mind be re
fined and made strong, the heart
1 made pure and steadfast in n<A
bleness, and the body trained to
respond in deeds of love and he
roism, there has been no genuine
education. Having attempted a
definition of education, let us
consider for a brief space the
children. Who are they? From
the viewpoint of the educator,,
they are the men and women of
to-morrow. They are to become
the dynamic forces that shall roll
the wheels of progress along
with the gliding of time; they
are to achieve that which our
puny hands could not; they are
to see that which our poor vision
could not reach; they are to hear
and understand the voices that
fell in vain upen our heedless
ears. They are to stand upon
our tired shoulders as we sink
out of sight, perhaps forever,
and strive to catch a vision of
God’s great purpose in man.
Whatever else they may be, they
are all this and more as they
stand with their lives uncarved.
Now look back at the question
standing at the head of this ar
tide and ask yourself why I did
not attempt to answer it at first.
We shall be better prepared to
consider the question raised in.
