LITERARY SOCIF TIES
The Literary Societies; have r.ot
hud many regular Friday afternoon
programs, but have been working to
secure funds for the Linrary.
On Saturday, February 14th, the
I’hi Gamma Society had a Valentine
party 1 . Everybody had lots of fun.
The purpose of this party was to
raise funds for the library.
The Literary Societies sponsored a
play, “Home Acres”, which was pre
sented by the Progress school at the
Colbert school building, Friday night,
Fob. Gth. This play was enjoyed by
every one present.
If we keep on like we’v e started
out we're going to have a library
some day.
NEW TRUSTEE IS ELECTED
On account of Mr. L. A. Herring
moving out of Colbert .School Disfiict
Mr. G. L. Williams ~\vas elected
trustee in Mr. Herring’s place; it is
believed that he will fall in line and
make a good trustee.
HISTORY
Every day we are making history.
History is a record ot events. Our
history may never be recorded, but
nevertheless somebody will remem
ber and when we have passed on
vhut we leave to memory, will be all
that is left of us. We have been
told that history is “ail bunk”, and
there is some truth in the charge, be
cause history depends upon records,
a ,nd records depend upon human ob
servation and memory and they are
at times a frail dependence. Tbe
best witnesses confl ct —even dates
whirh should be of mathematical pre
cision are falsified and confused, so
that tombstones have been known to
lie. Yet with all its defections his
tory remains tbe most essential of
human studies. The only way to
know anything ofl the future is to
study the past. We must have some
knowledge of what has already hap
pened before we can make even
the vaguest guess at what is going to
happen. An illustration of this is an
individual. You want to hire a man
in your business the first thing you
do is to find out somelhing about
him. You want to know where he
has lived, where he has worked,
whether he has succeeded or failed.
You would like to know what his re
ligious belief has been, what his ed
ucation is—in other words you want
to learn his history.
Humanity is only one great indi
vidual, and history is that individu
al’s memory. You have to open the
pwges of your own history every day
of your life. liven though memory
is full of flaws and imperfections,
yet what are we when memory is
gone? Bodies without souls. With
history it is the >ame, yet with all
its imperfections, we should not a
bandon the study of it, but it should
make us humble in the pursuit of
tnith, and considerate in the appli
cation of it.

(LA WINS COUNTY
TOURNAMENT
The Madison County basket ball
tournament, held in Danielsville,
Friday and Saturday, Fed). 20 and
21, was a tremendous success from
a financial standpoint as well as in
its happy ending, with evidences of
good sportir.anship all through the
tournament, and in enjoyment of
the large crowd present.
Six games were played in all, Co
mer easily defeating Bond in the
first game 27-10; Diamond Hill went
down before Meadow in the second
game to the tune of 33-1 i|. And then
came the big game of the tournament
Colbert vs 11a. This was the best
game of the day if not the tourna
ment, and Ila came from behind in
the last four minutes to win 22-16.
The first game Saturday morning
hefween Danielsville and Comer was
a 'thriler and although Comer won
21-16, Danielsville thieatened all the
way. In the second morning garr.e
Ha easily defeated Meadow 59-13.
Ilain which began early afternoon
prevented further playing on the
out-door court, so that the last game
was fought between Comer and Ila,
on the Y. M. C. A. court at Ath
ens. This game was a thriller all
the way. At the end of the first
half the score was tied.
At the beginning of the last half,
both teams came back fighting; it
looked as if neither of the teams
could gain the advantage over the
ether. In the last ten minutes of
the game, Ha’s offense ran wild, run
ning up a score of 26-16, although
both teams fought hard to the sound
ing of the final whistle. Leonard
Vaughn of Ila won the useful man
trophy.
The tournament was handled by
“Dub” Thornton, £is work was high
ly praised by both the teams and
spectators.

“I declare, Miss Barrett, I tho’t sure

“What do you think I am any way?

Jim Duff was a feller we all
admired —was a reg’lar glutton
fer speed; the pace .werent in
vented that made Jim tired,
on that we was all agreed. He
never foresaw no accident —nor
reckoned one might occur, but
he suddenly learnt what his fin
ish meant when he travelled one
step too fur. t
A man goes fast these mir
addous days, without spreadin
dire alarm, —but the one wrong
step at the partin’ of ways,
is the item that brings the
harm. We all jigger on at a live
ly clip, in a race where the
swiftest vvins, but a step too fur
—at the end of the trip is when
the disaster begins.
We hardly can say it’s the
pace that kills, sence humani
ty’s learnt to fly. It amt the
miles—nor the size of the hills
that frown as we’re whizzin’ by.
But, the warnin’ truth that con
fronts our gaze, is sparklin
without a blur, —'’’The error that
hastens the end of days is—
goin’ a step too fur!”
