Our physicians say there are many of us sick but not seriously so. The golden hearted optimist says we are within sight of the goDd times coming: the grim visaged pessimist says we are all on the downward road, with axles greased, “to the dogs.” We are all more or less lazy, selfish and stingy, but we are not half so bad as we think we are. We say some things hyper-Uolically which we do not mean to be taken literally. Like the good wife who said, “dear me, if I can't abuse my husband who on earth can I abuse?” we kick about some things that are very dear to our hearts. All of which leads me to remark that Gordon Institute commencement is right on us, and you ask “what has that got to do with it?” Just this and nothing more. We have the biggest, best, most thoroughly equipped and ablest faculty of any school of its kind in the south. And the most eminent men and women educators in the state who have taken the pains to inform themselves don’t hesitate to say so. Gordon Institute's commencements are the great object lessons which annually show to the world its great work and worth. “Men do not light a candle and put it iiqder a bushel but place it upon a candlestick that it may give light to all that are in the house.” So Barnesville cannot afford to do otherwise than to let the light of Gordon Institute shine by its commencement weeks. Our children are and have a right to be proud of their achievements and we ought to appreciate them, and show our appreciation. The little fellow who delivers his maiden speech on Monday afternoon has done, for him, as great a thing as the man who has captured a city. The little girl who dances across the stage at night in her Fairy costume enters Fairy land indeed and she feels a thrill of pride and joy which may affect her happiness through all coming times. Honor, therefore, your boy and bless by your presence and apprecia tion the little girl. Go yourself and insist on taking your friends. If you feel, and you ought, that education is a good thing, show your children that you do. You might as well sing psalms to a dead horse as to try to make your children believe in any good thing by precept when your actions belie your words. You may think you are fooling them but the clear, innocent eyes of childhood look right down into your soul and see whether the thing lying there is truth or falsehood. Again every woman in the land will tell you she has too little of social life and leisure, her very soul longs lor occasion al intercourse with the world outside the narrow circle ol her home. No woman ever went to her prayer meeting, her church society, or a social gathering that did not come away a better and a wiser wile, mother and friend than she was be fore, and no man or woman will ever enter the door of Gordon Institute auditorium during the commencement and go out of its portals without being broader, bigger, better, wiser and happier than when they entered it. God did not make us to be solitary, selfish, sordid—-Christ did not teach it. What matters it if it does take a little butter, eggs or chickens? Throw open your doors, welcome your friends and the stranger that is within your gates, cast the bread of hospi tality upon the waters and it will come back to you after many days laden with profit of forty, sixty and one hundred told. Stop complaining, stop croaking, lay aside your laziness and make the coming commencement memorable as the merriest, happiest and best you ever saw and I will guarantee to you the weather will seem cool and bracing. I know that a man can live on three pounds of meat and a peck of meal per week and his wife and children can get along on its equivalent in bread and molasses, but suppose we all did it; your factories would have to shut down because there was no need for their product, labor would starve and the world would lapse into poverty and barbarism. Intellect ual activity leads to physical activity, culture creates wants, the supply of wants creates energy, well directed energy creates wealth, not necessarily in money but wealth of living and happiness. Moral: Go to commencement. B. M. TURNER. 0 0 Miss Trueletta Kreth. Prof. Jere. M. Pound, President oi Gordon Institute, has secured the the services of Miss Truletta Kreth of Raleigh, N. C. in the Art departmet tor the next term. This young lady comes very highly recommended and no doubt she is eminently qualified for the position which she comes to take. She will begin her work here with the opening of the fall term in September next. She Is Improving. It is good news for the Gazette to say this week that Mrs. Loula Ken dall Rogers, whose illness was men tioned last week, has improved con siderably and is now fairly on the way to restoration to health. For a few days there was considerable un easiness felt for her but there is much rejoicing over the improvement made in her condition. We hope soon to announce her complete recovery. Is Still Very Sick. We regret to chronicle the contin ued illness of Mr. Frank Black. He has been quite low for some days past. While loving friends have cared for him and skillful physicians have attended him, he has remained quite stck. We hope that he may yet be restored to health. He is living at the Kitchens place on Elm street. OsWitt’s Little Early f .sera, Tbe tmmryuf Uttlc pill*. In milit.T, prinon. an offender i. some* times sentenced to carry cannon ball* from one place to another and pile them up all day lon*. That is all. Perhaps it does not seem very terrible but it soon wears his life out. It is practically a death sentence, and he knows it; he would rather be shot. Many a sick man feels the same way about the burden of disease that he is lugging back and forth from day to day. He would as soon be down with a mortal disease. It will come to that sooner or later. A man’s life can be dragged out by dyspepsia and liver complaint. The ex perience of Mr. J T. Cardwell, of Pall Creek Depot, Pittsylvania Cos., Va., shows how Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery saves people from consumption by waking up their nutritive organism and fiving it power to supply pure, healthy lood, which drives out blood poisons and dead tissue* and builds up sound, whole some flesh ar.d muscle. “ I feel it my duty," writes Mr. Cardwell in a letter to Dr. Pierce, "to write you of the lasting benetit* derived from the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and little ’ Pellets.’ Seven years ago I contracted a severe cold, which baffled the skill of one of the best phy sicians in my State. It ran on and I continu ally grew worse until I concluded to write to the ‘ World's Dispensary Medical Association.’ The answer to my inquiry advised me to use ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and Pellets’ for indigestion and liver complaint; at this time two months had passed. In two or three days after I had commenced the use of your medi cine my cough had entirely stopped, my diges tion was better, my low spirits drum away nnd I felt new life ana vigor in my whole body." This marvelous “ Discovery " makes nerve force and rugged power. It is far better than oily emulsions ; it does not make flabby fat, it does not increase the weight of corpulent people.
