The School in the Country.
Around the memories of the old
field school, built of logs, there
lingers stories of wouderful trips
for miles to hear and learn the
magical wisdom of the iron-hand
ed school master. But the old
school house has vauished, the
teacher is sleeping in the grave on
the hillside, almost unwept, uu- 1
honored and unsung. The oldtim*-
students have wandered far away
and most o's them are resting in
the cold grave. It is good some
time to think back over these
things, when children traveled for
miles to school, through the beat
and through the snow, endeavor
ing to master the arts and scien
ces that have at lastmade the race
of men to-day.
The opening of the school term
in the country lendß impetus to
this reflection on the other days.
Nowadays there is the modern
school house in every community
aud some counties have the con
solidated schools aud wagons to
take the children who live in re
mote sections. It is a far step for
ward aDd one that should be ap
preciated by the general public.
Yet here and there we find a man
who is too stingy to give his child
ren time to go and begrudges them
everything that really amount to
anything in life.
Now is the supreme and critical
time for a change. Change in the
right direction, start the child in
the way he should go, for though
you might make an extra number
of dollars b? grinding out the
life blood what will it amount to
when you are called on to relin
quish everything to mother earth.
Everything you possess will vanish
in the twinkling of an eye and the
like weeds and grass that spring
upon the farm wither away and re
turn to the tenement of clay where
you cannot furnish your narrow
cell in luxurious style, nor fill
your barn to overflowing.
It is something to stud}’ about.
Be kind to the children, give them
everything you can in life, look
back yourself to
“Sweet childish days, that were
as long as twenty days are now.”
Fortunate Farmer.
When Irving Cobb, of the New
York World, was down in Georgia
a few weeks ago he was talking to
a group in a cross-roads store An
old farmer said to him: “They
tell me that up in New York they
sell water mi' ion by the slice. Is
that so?” ••Yes,” Cobb told him,
“it's so.” “Well,l’ll be blanked.”
said the Georgian, what will them
damned Yankees do next?”—
Charleston News and Courier.
We gather that this Georgia
farmer actually has more melons
in his fields than he can destroy,
if the story is true, and would dis
dain to eat anything but the heart
out of the fiuest specimens. The
average person in New York or any
Southern City for that matter, is
leBS fortunate, having too many
other things to pay for to be able
to go into a restaurant and order
a whole watermelon.
There is another “Yankee ’’cus
tom that would probably shock
this independent Georgia farmer
even more. We refer to sprink
ling sugar on the slice of water
melon after it is served. Many a
Southerner, accustomed to eating
only the best watermelons, has
marveled at this custom, but such
of them as remain loug in New
York are apt to fall into a practice
which undoubtely improv s a poor
melon that has been piucked be
fore it is ripe aud shipped a long
distance. —Telegraph.

t THE BANKING HOUSE.
O It
II Most every well established bank owns its Banking House, just “
“ as nearly every well-to-do citizen of family owns his home. A man II
;; of means can properly enjoy for himself and family such comforts as II
II are supplied by the substantial, roomy and well-appointed residence. “
“ Likewise, a bank of some magnitude, being permanently in business, II
;; seeks not only to house its affairs becomingly, but to have for both ||
II its officers aud employees, and its customers aud the public generally, y
“ such reasonable quarters and convencies as the day permits. II
“ It is important uittt u bank invest only a reasonable portion of ||
II its Capital Stock or Resources in a Banking House, and circumstan- “
II ces vary greatly. No rule cun be laid down. Prudence suggests that 11
' y allowance be made for loss by fire, and that the fourth value of im- ||
<1 provemeuts, that cannot be insured, be charged off (gradually if ;;
I || need be.)
“ Five of the largest banks in New York city, according to their 1!
.. recently published reports, have an aggregate of $18,279,899,10 in- “
II vested in their Banking Houses, including Furniture and Fixtures iu II
“ two cases. The National City Bank and the Hanover National Bank II
!;; each have more than $5,000,000,00 so invested. City banks are obli- “
II ged to have the best locations, and such sites now-a-days are quite II
! “ generally improved with the buildings of the sky-scraper type. II
