SENTIMENT OUTWEIGHS LAW A few months ago tlie world was (shocked when one hundred and sixty-four children were burned | to death in a school house in Col lingwood, a suburb of Cincinnati, ’ says the Daw son News. Recently the (Jttllingwood bo of education let a contract for the erection of a new school building mi the site of the one which was destroyed with such a frightful] loss of life. Parents, especially | mothers, of tin* little ones who j perished jietitioned the court.] 1 pleading that they could not bear] to see (fl her children playing where ; their Own little ones perished so j miserably. Judge Keeler granted | an injunction against the school i board, and declines to dissolve it. The situation is a peculiar one. The sit<- belongs to the board for school purposes, and it has a nat ural right to erect u new building there. But the court says: ‘‘lts proceedings were in legal form,but it violated the discretion reposed in a board acting for the public ! benefit. It was indiscreet in chons- i ' mg the old site in the face of vio ] lout objection.” jin this case the board whs legal ly right in its action, but the judge puts sentiment in the oppo site balance, and finds it outweighs the law. The board is lacking in good {sense when it deliberately tramp- I loh on the sore hearts of a commu nity so recently and so terribly i tortured.—D u b 1 i n Courier-Dis j patch. If there is any doubt in the | mind of any fair man that the i railroads of the South have been in very hard lines financially for the past year he should read the full account of the evidence given before the Georgia Kail road Commission at the hearing last Saturday. The rail roads propose to increase freight rates and from the evidence given it seems that an increase is abso lutely essentials.—Ocilln Star. OBITUARY. On Tuesday night, July 21, tlx* soul of little Joe Byrd was tnken to heaven where there will be no more sad parting. Little Joe had ! been sick three weeks—the family, i Dr. Mobley and friends did all lhey could to relieve the little suf ferer, but all to no avail —noth- ing could stay tlx* work of the dis ease which had a firm hold on his j const it ut ion. For several days Joe hung between life and death, and the fond parents hoped against hop.* that he would finally recover. His little !*ody was laid to rest in the family cemetery Wednes day afternoon at I) o’clock. It would seem that nature should exempt little children from sick ness, suffering and death, but “Impartial fate which with equal pace, Knocks at the palace as at tlx* cottage gate,” is no respecter of age, and thus it is the young and old are called upon to pay the penalty. We would extend to the heartbroken parents sincere condolence and sympathy. May the Christ in His tender, loving mercy minister to their broken hearts, and so heal tlx-wounds which this I’rovidence, always kind, but often mysteri ous, has indicted. Sweet and beautiful grow the dowers over the tomb of tlx* bright little fellow who had only a glimpse of life. Little Jim* had looked upon the l*eaulies of this world 1 year, 0 months and 27 days, but during that time lie had entwined tlx* cords of affection about the hearts of his family, rix* little one is gone but not for gotten—in memory still he lives; fain would we recall him hither, tho’ the parting sadly grieves. “Gone, gone, my friend ot early childhood. Gone to reap the great, reward; Where lie’ll sing in loud hosannas The praises of our risen I^ord.” A Friend.
