Hero!mi Without Suffering.
. There is sometimes as much merit
in taking pains for Christ's sake as in
suffering pain. We are more apt to
conceive of a saint as one ready to
expire for Christ’s cause than as one
ready to pespire for it ; but the call ;o
duty is oftener one to patient, plpd
ding, thoroughgoing fidelity in little
things, rather than one to yield up
the life in some supreme act of sacri
fice. A mother who takes the trou
ble daily ( to teach her child, patiently
and wisely, how to conquer the evil
in the world against which it needs
to guard, may be more truly the savoir
of the child than if she threw herself
into the flames to rescue its body
from death. l’he fidelity to details
that makes a life luminously consist
ent and Christ like may be a stronger
argument than martyrdom for the
truth. Conscientious living often
counts for more than conscientious
dying.

Meeting Trials.
The God-stayed imagination has
no space for trials and perplexities ot

victorious indifference that is the
wonder of the tempest tossed world

witness to the source of his marvel
lous peacefulness, his words find too
often only deaf ears and stony hearts;
and those whom he would help to the
same source of comfort keep strug

HISTORY OF FOOT BALL
AT GORDON INSTITUTE.
o
THE UPS AND DOWNS OF
; THE TEAMS FOR THE
PAST FOUR YEARS.
o
HY T. J. SIMMONS, JR. (CAPTAIN '97.)
Barnesville or rather Gordon In
stilutes’ day in foot ball is yet to
come. The teams of the past three
years have clearly shown that and in
addition they have shown that Gor
don Institute can put as good teams
in the field, as any other of the pre
paratory schools of the south. The
teams of’96 and '97 dearly showed
this fact.
Foot ball first came into promi
nence in Barnesville in the fall of '95,
when the two companies of the bat
talions played match games. A se
i ries of games were played in which
“B.” came out winner. Shortly af
ter the scries of games were played
someone suggested the idea that a
school team begotten up, and that it
play teams trom other cities. Act
ing on this suggestion, the boys got
together and elected Sam Hewlett,
the present captain, captain and man
ager. He at once got the boys on
the field and over thirty were trying
for positions on the team.
In the meanwhile a game had been
arranged with a team from Atlanta
and the boys were hard at work for
their places on the team. The ma
terial that year was not very good,
being rather light, but a strong team
was picked. Some obstacle present
ed itself, however, and the game had
to be called oft but I don't think that
it would be out of place to give the
names of the players who made up
the team that year. The team lined
up as follows : Sullivan, center; De-
Vaughn, r guard; Simmons, 1 guard;
Willingham, r tackle; Houser, 1 tack
le: Johnson, rend; Dußignon, 1 end;
Yancy, q back; Hewlette, full back;
Minhinnett, r h back; Oliff. 1 h back;
Murphey and Donaldson, subs. The
team was “little but loud” and would
have played a good game had they
had the opportunity.
In '96 tin; boys started out early
and the officers of the team that year
were, James Sullivan captain, and
Sam Hewlette manager. The Ma
terial in ’96 was the best that Gordon
Institute has ever had and the boys
were more interested that year than
they have been since. Manager
Hewlette made the boys practice
three weeks before the team was
picked and they were kept in a state
of uncertainty for some time. Fi
nally lie announced the team, which
was as follows: Edwards, center;
Cunningham, r guard; Wellborn,
1 guard; Whitfield, r tackle; Jenkins,
I tackle: Johnson, 1 end; Dußignon,
r end; Hunt quarter back; Hewlette,
full back; Sullivan, r h back; Sim
mons, 1 h back; Monk, Newton,
Hitch, Murphey and Whittle, subs.
The above was the team that was
carried to I,aGrange. The game
there was a walk over for Rarnesville
and they would have won hands
down but for the umpirs ignorance
of the game and the time keepers
mistake in calling time too early.
The score stood 4 —4 at the end of
the game. The boys were treated
royally by the La Grange boys and
never will forget Mr. Julian R. I.ane
of the Macon and Birmingham R. R.,
who held a train seven hours for
them to play.
The next game that season was
with the second eleven from Athens
and the Gordon Institue boys were
defeated to the tune of “20—0," ow
ing to the lack of experience. The
Athens boys had been under an ex
perienced coach all the year and
knew the game while the Barnesville
team did not know the first principles
of the game. They redeemed them
selves the next day however by de
feating Thomaston by a score of
54 o. The Thomaston game was
devoid of interest and the spectators
grew tired of watching Barnesville
rush the ball. The season of ’96 was
very successful and the boys deter
mined the next year to get a coach
and put a team in the field that would
down Athens.
When the next session opened up
however only three of the old men
were back and lor a while things
looked black for foot ball, but by
hard work and a great deal of beg
ging the boys were finally induced to
come out and elect the men who
would be in charge of the team
for the season. The following of
ficers were elected: Marion S. Monk,
manager, T. J. Simmons Jr., captain
and R. J. Fale treasurer. It was due
to Fale's efforts that enough money
was secured to pay our coach. He
made a personal canvass of the city
and secured the money to pay his
expenses. After negotiating with
several men to coach the team the
management finally decided on Mr.
Gordon Saussy, of Cornell. He was
the best man that could have been
secured and he made a team out of
a few youngsters who had never
played before. He remained with
the team for two weeks and at the
end of the time Barnesville could
boast of a team that could play foot
i ball. An unfortunate accident in
Atlanta, in which young Von Gam
mon was killed caused a majority of
the teams in the state to disband and
the excellent schedule which had
been arranged had to be called oft.
The team only played two games
that season.
The first game was against Mercer
University, a team which had been
playing foot bail for years and who
had men that were “bulls 1 ’ in size.
The Barnesville boys played the game
of their life that day and when time was
called the score was o—o. As cap
tain of the team the only reason I
can give for we not defeating Mercer
is that ail of our team was Composed
of new material and that the men
were too much excited to play to
gether. Any way we played a stiff
game and covered ourselves with
glory. Mercer was surprised and so
were the people of Barnesville who
expected us to be defeated. The
next game was with the Gresham
High School ot Macon, or at least
that is whom we expected to play,
but on reaching Macon we found
that we had to play against Bibb
county.
Only the scrub team with three of
the Varsity men played in that game
and as a result we were only defeat
ed 14 —o which is by no means a
large score. The tea'm of ’97 was as
follows:
Tyson, center; Haines, l guard;
Brooks, r guard; Whitfield, r tackle;
Feagin, 1 tackle; Morris, 1 end; Gum,
r end; Murphey, quarter back; Sim
mons, full back; Sessoms, 1 half back;
Monk, rh back. Brown, Bolley,
Christie, F,lder VV. and Elder E. subs.
Now the season of '9B is on and
with the team is Sam Hewlette, a
man who has seen several seasons on
the gridiron and who could make
any team in the country if he tried.
He knows foot ball and with him at
the head of the team, Barnesville
should make a record in football that
would be second to none among the
preparatory schools. With a good
coach I think that Barnesville could
easily defeat the second team from
Athens. I hope that the boys can
secure a game with that team as I
am anxious to see what they can do.
There is good material at Barnes
ville and if the boys will take a suf
ficient amount of interest in the team
there is no reason why Gordon Insti
tute cannot win new laurels. It is
now very probable that a coach will
be secured and if the manager suc
ceeds in getting the right sort of man
Barnesville will come out on top.
Mr. and Mrs. Otis A. Murphey left
yesterday morning for New York
City, where they will remain for about
ten days. Mr. Murphey goes on
business, but he and Mrs. Murphev
will also take in all points of interest
about the metropolis before return
ing. No doubt it will be a most en
joyable trip for both of them.

Young Mini Obtain an Education.
There is no doubt but that there is
a greater need for more and better
educated men than in any period of
the history of America. For this
reason, we would ask the young men
of the land to secure an education,
because the strength of the future
now, as in the past, will depend a
a great deal on his mental capacities.
From time immemoriable men of
intellectual talents have been
crowned with boys of honor. Men
with an average endowment of intel
lect have been recognized as almost
superlative beings, and with reverent
hands, the world has always crowned
intellect with its choicest honors.
The pathway of intellect has been
strewn with flowers, its brow has al
ways worn the loftiest plume, held the
mightiest sceptre of power and sat
upon the proudest throne. Young
man, there can be no grander theme
to : engross your attention, among all
others, than the thing that has to do
with the training of your intellect,
because your happiness in the future,
in a large measure, depends on its
success.
It is not what we eat, what we di
gest that makes us strong; not what
we gain, but what we save that makes
us rich. A well-ground tree is not
one with giant branches, nor resplen
dent with rich foliage, but one with a
1 huge trunk and with giant roots.
So it is in securing an education,
not what we read or hear, but what
we remember and apply to all practi
cal purposes of life that makes us
learned. Since then education is so
precious, and intellectual strength so
grand in its achievements, let us
strive to secure as far as possible a
complete education. It is within the
power of any youth of this age to ob
tain an education, even the most
humble. He who believes it impos
sible for him to secure an education,
is deficient in courage and energy.
It is not an impossibility if he will
only exercise the proper economy,
energy and perseverance. Success
will be sure to crown his efforts.
Young man, be persuaded to se
cure a complete education by all
means. By gaining an education,
you will have your reward in the rich
stores of knowledge you have thus
collected which shall ever be at your
command, more valuable than ma
terial treasures. While Beets may
sink and storehouses consume and
banks fail, yet the knowledge you
have acquired will be as permanent,
as enduring and as unfailing as the
coustant flow of the Niagara; a bank
whose dividends are perpetual and
whose wealth never lessens however
frequent you draw upon it. How
wise, then, to secure an education, if
such wealth lies hidden in an invest
ment. —Crimson and White.

Profanity is Decreasing.
The revival of prosecutions in the
states of New York and New Jersey
directed against those who use pro
fane language has called attention to
the fact that in the city of brotherly
love there has been a very great de
crease of profanity. So keen an ob
server as Professor Robert Kills
Thompson, president of the boys’
central high school, a student of soci
ological phenomena, and therefore an
interested investigator, is authority
for the statement that since the civil
war no indication of the city’s moral
growth is more pronounced than the
subsidence of profanity on the streets.
The report that Dr. Thompson had
made such a study of the subject of
profanity that he was able to give
statistics was laughingly dismissed by
him when called upon by a Press re
porter at his Gorgas Lane home.
“But,” he explained, “1 have on sev
eral occasions stated that I am con
vinced that profanity is much less
now than it ever was. 1 came to the
city in ’57, when mules performed the
service that horses, electrictv and
steam now perform, The old Penn
sylvania railroad station stood then
where the Bingham house stands now.
Then it was a byword on the streets
that a mule wouldn’t go unless he
was cursed at. And how they did
curse in those times? When a dray
man met a drayman there was a flow
of profanity until they parted.
“Today people meet or even come
into collision on the streets, and there
may be angry words, but there is little
profanity, very little when compared
with what there would have been
forty years ago. Many causes have
contributed to bring about a better
condition of affairs. To my mind
the most potent factor was the relig
ious revival in this city in 'SB and '59
carried on by Guinness, of Ireland.
Mr. Guinness was a man of attractive
persoanlity, scholarly attainments and
captivating speech. He came to this
city as a member of the established
church of Ireland and received a wel
come in many churches. The people
were touched by his words and the
moral life of the city was improved.
He made no specific effort against
profanity, but from the time he visited
the country I have noticed a gradual
decrease. Of course, there have been
many other causes, religious societies
and the spread of education and the
like ”
Professor Thompson also said that,
while he was not familiar with the old
laws on profanity, he knew that some
existed in this state and in almost
every state in the union. “For,” said
he, “while it may not be the province
of law to take cognizance of the moral
aspect of profanity, it must be remem
bered that he who uses profane lan
guage in public places invades the
right of others who may be shocked
to hear it, and in that respect the law
may interpose and fine him who uses
profanity on the streets.”—Philadel

£ll AFFLICTION THAT BADE A WOMAN A BUNDLE OF NERIfES.
Mrs. dm® s Arthur, of Spokane, Suffered Excruciating
Agony—Her Condition Creates Huch Discussion.
From the Spokesman-Review , Spokane, Wash.
Mrs. James Arthur, of 1021 Augusta Ave
nue, Spokane, Wash., who suffered excru
ciating agony from rheumatism has created
much discussion among her many friends.
She told a reporter the following story of
her Bufferings and cure:
“ From August, 1895, to the following
January, 1 suffered from rheumatic pains.
For weeks at a time the pain was so excru
ciating I was nearly crazy. Night after
night I walked the floor unable to sleep.
From a healthy woman weighing about 100
pounds I became a weak, thin bundle of
nerves, unable almost to perform any ordin
ary household duties. Every time we had
a speli of bad weather the awful agony
would begin.
“ Prior to August, 1895, I had doctored
with Ur. Power. He said I had sciatica and
muscular rheumatism. He gave me some
medicine that seemed to do me good. Any
way it stopped the pains at that time, but in
August they came again worse than ever.
I did not go to him again thinking he had
made pome mistake in his diagnosis of my
case. One day while glancing over a San
Francisco paper, I noticed an article regard
ing Dr. Williams’ Pink Piils for Pale People
and that they contained in a condensed form !
all the elements necessary to give new life i
and richness to the blood and restore shat- \
tered nerves. The article contained an ac
count of a case similar to mine that had been
cured and I decided to try the pills. I went
to the wholesale drug store, the Spokane
Drug Company’s place, at the corner of
Sprague and Howard and bought a box.
“The pills are wonderful. I took two
•loses and the pain ceased. My- limbs and
feet were swollen and the agony was in
tense, but after taking the pills, the swell
ing went down and the pains ceased. I con- 1

boxes, I think, and felt I was cured.
“The piils I found also gave me renewed
strength end a better appetite, which wia

ings were much surprised to see the change
in me, and frequently asked how it had been
accomplished. * 1 used the pills whin I
thought necessary for over a year before I
told them. Now several of my friends are
using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills on my re
commendation. and they all tell me that thei
results are satisfactory.
“It is marvelous. I would not be withoutj
the pills. The other day while I was clean-!
ing house, a lady friend called and found me!
scrubbing and washing. She knew I Dad I
been subject to rheumatic attacks and was!
astonished at seeing me thus engaged. When I
I explained to her how Dr. Williams’Pink j
Pills had helped me by stopping the rbeu-j

and could he had for 50 cents a box. she at
once decided to give them a trial, which ehe
is doing with much benefit.
“I am 48 years old, but feel much vounger
now than I did a year ago, and I did con
siderable more work this spring than I have
done for five years.
if any one should desire to hear more
from me regarding the merits cf Tr. Wil

they- may send me. They certainly give
marvelous relief.’’
Tiie day Mrs. Arthur was interviewed fcy
the reporter was one of a series of rainy days
which come so unexpectedly after a period
of bright warm weather. It was a day when
rheumatism ordinarily would appear in its
most agonizing form, yet Mrs. Arthur was
busily engaged preserving fruit. She had
every appearance of being in excdleat
health.
