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 lems which have ever been pre sented to the American government, 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 tion, issued his farewell address and 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 in the hearts of his countrymen/ 5 "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.” Pauline McCurley, 10th Grade. OH, YES!

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? —Eilie Rhee Latty, 10th Grade 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. Florence Griffeth and Irene Hardman, 7th Grade. VALENTINE PARTY On Saturday night, F&b. 14th, the Phi Gamma Literary Society enter tained the public at a valentine par ty at the auditorium.

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.

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. - • Comer Local News Friends of Mrs. A. M. Wilkins will regret to learn that she has been sick for several days. Mrs. A. J.
