Congress in 1774 and was chosen;
commander-in-chief of the
forces shortly after the outbreak o%
the war.
He was chosen first president of
the United States and took the oath
of office April 30, 1879 at New York.
He was re-elected in 1793 in spite of
his expressed wish.
Some of the most important prob

aro‘e during his administrations.
Among the important events of his
administrations were the admission
of Vermont, Kentucky and Tennes
see; the chartering of the first bank
of the United States; the Indian
wars in the Northwest territory; the
assumption of the debt contracted by
the states during the Revolution.
Washington declined a third elec

retired to Mt. Vernon. He died in
December, 1799.
So on Sunday, Feb. 22 we should
all remember the statesman, who was
“First in war, first in peace and first

"LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT'*
If you want a happy life, why not
make life happy? For after all life
is what we make it. If! you always
look on the dark side of things, your
life will seem dai’k.
There is always a bright and dark
side to everything, and you’ll always
see the one that looks on the brig t
side of life is the one that gets the
most pleasure out of living.
If you are always grumbling and
growling, the people you come in
contact with will soon tire of being
with you Then, of course, you cajj’t
be happy without friends.
So, if you want to live a pleasant
life, make life pleasant, for “Life is
what we make it.”

MAKING LIFE WORTH WHILE
We should all make our lives
worth while as we go along our way.
We should accomplish something
in life worth living for, and will
cause other people to accomplish
something.
If we go along not caring if we
make a success in life or not, Where
is not much worth living for, and if
we are always making friends, doing
things worth while, just think what
a grand thing life is. Some people
never give it a thought—just live
and that’s all —never think of doing
something in life that will cause them
to be a better person. While others
are always thinking of what they can
do to make their lives better and
will cause them to get a higher posi
tion in life, doing something that
will make people think more of them
and to put themselves in a higher
society in life.
So don’t you think the person
who is always trying to accomplish
something, his life is worth while?

DON’T THROW AWAY
YOUR TIME
If you throw away your time it i
gone; you can’t go back and pick it
up again. Hut the first thing, neve
throw it away, for every spare min
ute of your life is dear to you. V/Iv
you have spare time you ought to be
doing something that would mean
something to you in life.
There are lots of boys and girls
who have the opportunity to go to
school and will not; these boys and
girls are losing time. They don’c re
alize how much an education means
to them. It behooves every boy and
girl to take advantage of their op
portunities and go to school and stud
y. The world to-day is looking for
well educated boys and girls, and V
you throw away your time and don’t
study you can’t hold a responsible
position.
The boys and girls that ar e throw
ing away their time are hurting
themselves. They will grow #p in ig
norance and will cause themselves to
be thrown in many embarrassing
places.
The boys and girls that are going
to school now and playing away their
time will realize later how dear their
time is when they grow up without
an education and find they can’t fil 1
the places in the world that they will
be expected to. Let jjs awake to the
fact that “lost time can never be
found again,” and occupy our time
in a useful way.

Phi Gamma Literary Society enter
tained the public at a valentine par
ty at the auditorium.
Interesting games were enjoyed
and a famous God-mother with the
assistance of Cupid told many what
their future was to be. Another
feature which added much to the
entertainment was music which was
furnished by Mrs. M. W. Collier.
As leap year is past and the girls
being unable to give away their
hearts decided to auction them off
to the highest bidder. Refreshments
were sold, the proceeds being for t
school library.
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The Athletic Association had a
big day here Saturday, February 14,

of enthusiasm. The association has
been doing good work in backing up
the team in every way. It is now
planning to take its members to the
tournament, Friday Feb. 20.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Burden ce’e
brated their sixtieth anniversary last
Sunday at the home of their son, Mr.
j. T. Burden at Comer, with an o’d
time home-cooked dinner, and differ
ent members of the family tried to,
make this dinner especially pleasant
for this old couple, as on Feb. 24th
Mrs. Burden was to pass her seven
ty-ninth birth-day. Mrs. J. T. Bur
den graciously presided during the
dinner hour, and seated at the table
were Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Burden,
with five children, Mr. J. T. Burden
of Comer, Mrs. Ola Thompson of
Winterville, Mrs. W. T. Dickerson
of near Hartwell, Mrs. E. J. O
ley of Hull, and Miss Francis Burden
of Atlanta. Other members of th?
family enjoying the dinner were Mr.
and Mrs. U. L. Moss and children
of Winterville, and Mr. W. T. Dick
erson and three sons from near Hart
well. On account of ill-health of-er
members of the family could not b
present.
CHICKEN CAR HEKE YESTERDAf
The chicken car, /as advertised*
was here ready for the early arrival
of the many loads of chickens
brought from all sections of the ad
jjoining counties. Judging from
the receipts of cars on the previous
occasions those in charge thought
that a half-car would be sufficient to
take care of the sales ncre, having
been partly filled at another point.
Chickens of all sizes, colors and
kinds poured in all day and by 'he
middle of the afternoon it was
-non that a number would have to be'
disappointed. It is estimated that
beUveen 1000 and 2000 pounds were
carried back home after the car had
been filled t# far beyond its normal
capacity. It is thought by many that
one car a month could be filled here
if the people knew for a certainty
that one would be brought here reg
ularly. It is just another instance
of the advantage of co-operative sel
ling. - •
