Here it is: "First and foremost she is n unselfish girl, fche has learned that there I arc other people in the world with rights as sacred as her own. She has learned, furthermore, that these people have a claim upon her time and tal- j entr, and that she o ves even the mo.l unintcrestirg of them a debt ol love laid kindly service. ; In the second place, she is a sunshiny girh Frowns and sulkiness find no abiding place with this cncery maiden. She always looks on life’s bright est side, taking a cheerful view of things in general. Sunshine in her laught- ; er, sunshine in her words, and sunshine in her warm handclasp. She is, moreover, a modest girl. Modest in her dress, speech and be- j liavior. She knows the dillerence between true modesty and pru.l shmess, I and in cultivating the one does not bore us witli the other. T his maiden we all adore is a kli'dhearted girl. Site has learned to re l sped the lielings ol others and never allows herself to indulge in unkind re- rnaiks, even for the entertainment of friends. Gossip she abhors, and would rather cut oil her right hand than originate or repeat anything injurious to (the fair name of some other girl. She believes that “Woman in her deepest (legradation holds something sacred, something undefiled, some pledge and keepsake of her higher nature." I T he girl we like is an honest girl. Honest in lur opinions and her pro I Cessions; not given to flattery nor lesorting to deception. She is a girl with stability of elutiader, never sacrificing principle tor popularity. Site knows the boundary line between innocent and sinful amusements and firmly stops on the light side. There is no jollier, happier, more independent being in the world than the girl we all like." May each and every one of you sweet girl graduates go out to meet the stern duties ol life bravely ami-above the struggles you will have to contend with always hold alolt the motto: "Be good sweet maul and let who will be clever." Business Locals. Dying in Harness. Only those who witnessed the sight can know what it is to see a lite go out while actively engage IJin the performance of duty can know what it n ea ts to dietn harness. Tine em ugh in this instance it was only a horse The numbers of men who have died the same way are countless and yet lit.y have not received the praise due. Here in this city men are struggling day by day, giving up their life bloo I without receiving the reward of comment - ation, Loya'ty to a cause, doing one’s .duty in a work, is about the greatest thing a man can exhibit to his fellowtnen and surely it will standout predom inant when the last story is told ami the last summons have been given. To® many men wear their lives out fighting against the inevitable. Toe many struggle to keep ahead of progress only to be engulfed in its infolding arms, from which there is no release. But back to the story in hand. Per haps a dozen saw him fall—this horse which had served its owner so well in Milledgcville. Tired oi the struggle, though well kept and splendidly at tended, the animal fell in harness and died Maybe there’s a better death to die than in the performance of duly, but give that death a plate high up in the ranks ol honor. If everybody were w illing wotkers, struggling on to help their lellowmen lo greater heights life would be sweeter. If all should unite to strive to give comfort and joy how much better it would be. A short time back the writei was asked by a journal of national nature to write along this subject and the theme was: ".Not how did he die, but bow did he live?" It's better to live in harness and die in harness than it ss to live always and do nothing to en hance the value ot your city and community, do nothing— "To lengthen out the seldom hours ol joy, And shorten the days of pain."
