Walker, GoWnor oi ’ * Georgia,-than whom there is hr more ardent advocate of Sunday Schools, adressed the Sunday Schools of Rabun County, at the court house, last Sunday morn- in*. . The Governor is On* of the few public men who has consis tently and conscientiously mixed religion and pottles for the Iasi twenty years, or since the time he first came into the limelight as a potent factor in the public affairs of the state. Even before the Governor en tered the political arena he. was^ctive in church and re’ig- , ious ''affairs and since having' been signally honored lay the ' voters of the state by being elec ted, first to the office of Solici tor Genes al of the Western Cir cuit ahd-fthen to the office of V Attorney. Gejn&ol of the State. ' and finally, to the highest office within the gift of the people of the. state, that of Governor, he '-has been active in the religious affairs of the community in " jijJia resided and with every * ‘ J veinent, especially, Thi Bleckley Memorial Insti- 1 Lute, one of the Mountain Schools •being operated by the Home Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, has completed the spring term, this week. They are a week ahead of mort schools on'account of having made some time by working on Saturdays. Prof. C. E. Moody has been at the school the past year, and air though the attendance lias been srmtft they have graduated nine fine young men and women, whf will go out from here, either It enter college or to fill their place in life’s activities. / Last Sunday Rev. J. Fred Eden of Toccoa preached the commencement sermon, at th^ courthouse. Rev. Eden, prrbably tried to preach under the most adverse circumstances, he had ever encountered, but with that fearjess persistent disposition that he possess preached a won derful sermon. Mr. Eden slated to preach the the ! lust after the address.j Governor, which lasted hour, and with the audience al ready beginning to tire, it was a difficult undertaking;. ’wlP Tne preacher chose for a sub ject “Making Big Your Job” or ’ It has been the. privilege of the writer to have known Mr. Walker personally, ever since lie: ^had the Governor, as 4 member f|rst entered politics and to have of his audience or because of the % i 4 ' A' -L Lrviorvnitn^o (La JllKioo 1, WO had opportunity to observe his official acts as well as his per sonal demeanor and we are proud to say the Cliff Walker is the same Cliff today that he was twenty years ago and that the 1 onors that have been bestowed upon him have not, im thedeast, tended toward an estiahgonent, he lov?s to serve. The speech Sunday morning, is adjudged by munv to have* been the lest Mr. Walker has! ever delivered on any subject, ard certainly it was a masterly ad* dre3snn the subject “What is the most valuable thing in. life?” The] Governor’ll answer is that the individual come into the proper relations with God, the Maker and Cl-eator. The next step is to get into the proper relations with pne$ self—to know ones relations to God and humanity; to know the sphere, in whieivohe can be best fitted for life’s duties and re ftponsibilitka. After the address the Governor remained over to hear the com mencement ^ sermon, of the B. M. L, delivered bv his life long friend, Rev. J. Fted Eden, who at one time was book-keep er in the bank of the Governor’s father, at Monroe, Ga., after which he left .for Hiawassee to deliver a literary address to a iuating class in the Hiawas l High tafias Hudson, a negro convict who escapee the gang laBt week, wa caught at a lumber camp in the Nantabala Mountain?, inN. . jjg|j to the THE “CLEAN U Whereas here; the tr< dressed, wit green; the b ergetically! full of life..

A glimpse of tlpe pending- pro gram of the Juniors reveals many interesting schemes to beautify, advertise and bi>ost our little city. Among some of the plans are some Ihing-to coig£ at an early date and others tg be worked' out later. We learn that an attractive fountain is soon to bo placed on one of the corners of the public square and q little later, they propose to erect a beautiful rus tic summer pavillion on the ottiof cornei'of the square.

Judge John Awtry, Prof. W. G. Coffee and Cof, Thad L. Bynum were the judges. After the contest the class put on the play entitled “Deacon Dubbs” which was participated in by all the graduating class gf)d was so well given as to re ceive the hearty commendation bf ail wh> heard it. In fact, many say that the city theaters do not always put on as good play as the one given by the B. M. I. boys and girls. Tuesday evening the exer cises consisted of a it Ik by Prcf.

Davis seemed to be at his best and made quite an interesting talk in which he told of some of the his tory, aims and accomplishment of the school. Prof. kJ. H. Simftions, of Breneau Colled**, Gainesville, Ga., delivered the literary ad dress, and chose for hi& “The Measure of Human Life” and delivered a well-received measagealongthe idea that there is a great deal of similarity in all men and that when we think some one is different from other folks that we have just failed to gej an insight as to the real person ality of the person. The graduating exercises were then carried out in a beautiful and well directed maner and thdse taking part are receiving the congratulations of all who heard the program.
