A man was once asked why he took
so much pains to oblige others in tri
ll.es. His answer was in substance;
"I have neither the wealth nor the
portion to do big things for God or
.nran.and so 1 t-ike delight in doing
ittle thing to promote another’s
iliterfst or enjoyment. In this way
i may add to the sum of human hap
piness, and also recommend my Savior
to the attention of those who know
Him not.”—Ex.

Bennett The Man for Coffee Without
a Dissent nig Vote.
The grand jury of Coffee county
has unanimously endorsed John W.
Bennett for the solicitorship.
Tuesday afternoon just before the
grand jury adjorned alter a two days
siege by the respective candidates and
their friends a loud cheering was heard
in the grand jury room. Foreman,
Thomas Young sent for Mr. Bennett
to appear before the grand jury.
When Mr. Bennett walked in there
was another loud cheer and the fore
man announced to him that the grand
jury had endorsed him without a dis
senting vote. This was such a sur
prise to Mr. nennett that he was hard
ly able to reply. For a moment he
stood silent and then said his heart
felt what his tongue was unable to ex
press. That whether or not he should
lie elected solicitor, lie would so en
deavor to conduct his future career
that they would have no cause to re
gret the action they had taken in
his endorsement. That lie was
taught by an humble father that what
ever a man’s intellect might be, his
aspirations must he based in morality,
and that hi j future endeavors in life
would bo for intellectual and moral
upbuilding of his fellow men. lie bow
ed and retired and another applause
issued from the grand jury.
This is the biggest sweep that has
been made and it appears now that
Bennett will surely he the man.
In Camden last week the grand jury
gave Mr Bennett 10 out of 23 votes
Bid it was a county in which he was
Ftu entire stangor and from which ho
expected no support at all. when the
Campaign began, Coffee county was
claimed as a certainty for Toomer, and
some of Bennetts supporters conced
ed as much, blit Mr. Bennett’s popu
larity soon because apparent after he
met the people. John Bennett, be
sides being a man of ability, possesses
a strong magnetism, an and heeasily cap
tivates when he is thrown with men.
Ho is genial and generous aid these
qualities are jewels among the charac
teristics of men. They are marks of
ability as well as the dignified
culture of intellect (in which Mr.
Bennett is notwanting) and as long
as men have a social side they will
be rewarded.
The ITatjcrosH School.
Prof Aldeen Pound carried us
through the Wayeross Public School,
and without exageration it beggars
description. Wo have been through
many of the fine schools in Georgia
but non; has so tickled our fancy as
the splendid apartments of its build
ing and the excellent management of
its system.
Prof. Pound is a boru teacher and the
liberal training he received at Emory
eminently fitted him for the high po
sition he holds. We knew him in col
li ge and truly the hoy was the father of
the man : for he is thissame energetic
earnest, refined gentleman that we
knew him then.
One of the most interesting depart
ments of the school is the primary
under the tutorship of Miss Lockhart.
Her management of the first year pu
pils is simply ivouderful. and the ad
