done—but doing it, is where the

GRAY, GEORGIA, 8ATURDA fJUNE 15, 1859.
The following clipped from tho
Eatonton Messenger is very ap
propriate just at this time, and
perhaps will afford "food for reflec
tion" for our good citizens.*
EDUCATION ON A BIG BOOM.
The educational wave is sweeping
over the county, and tho people
everywhere, ripe for tho move, are
fast falling into line, and great
things may be looked for in the fu
ture. Let the Board of Education
put on their best thinking caps and
get, down to their knitting at once
about this matter; let there be devi
sing and planning and begin to
draw tilings to a focus, for the
people are almost to a man ready and
willing to co-operate with them in
combining m supplementing the
public fund and putting into
practical operation the best thing
almost that has ever been done lor
the children of the county.
I ask below a few practical ques
tions lor each reader of the Mes
senger to ask him or herself and to
ponder over.
“Do you know a child lay 3 th
foundation fur all future success be
tween the ages of 6 and lb?”
“Do you know the child is not
responsible for this neglect of duty
on your part?”
“Do you- know that he and not
you pays the terrible price for what
lie can not help?”
“Do your know your neglect will
tell for years lo come on the men or
women who are to take jour
places in the busy world of the fli
ture?” Sfelf
■■no you Know in at a little
sacrificc and spirit of co-operation
will remove the trouble?”
“Men and women of Putnam, let
us, laying aside selfishness in all its
together with ’ this
aspects, come
spirit of co-operation and remove
forever this evil which threatens to
destroy that which is best among us!"
Ex P ED.
“The Land of tho Midnight Sun”
must indeed be an interesting por
tion of the earth’s surface to visit it
we may judge irom the extremely
interesting and beautifully illus
trated article about that region that
appears m Demorest’s Monthly
Magazine for July; and that the
inodes of travel in that far-olf county
are ages behind the times is clearly
shown by turning to another
article m the same number of ibis
valuable Family Magazine. In a
most charming manner we are told
of the “Comforts of Modern Railway
Travel” in our country, and the il
lustrations give us a comprehensive
idea of the luxury one may find m
one of our palaces on wheels, from
the kitchen to the boudoir. “Birds
In Our Homes.” by Olive Thorne
Miller, also handsomely illustrated,
will please all lovers of onr
feathered friends. “Aids to Beauty,”
a scries of articles commenced in
this number, will certainly be of
great benefit to those who wish to
enhance their personal charms. The
stories m the July number are
particularly attractive and sum
mery, and the beautiful “Rose”
frontispiece is a study in colors well
worthy of framing.
