A little praise, a word of hope or a cheerful smile some thing for the hungry soul to grasp und the weary mind to rent upon, as we climb tho toilsome mountain of life. How many poor hearts hare sunken in to despondency, wlion a little encourage ment has reassured them. The soldier looks for it on the field of battle; it is the cheering voice of his leader that urges him through the dangoi of death and crowns the day with victory.

But the age of christ- nity is fast approaching and it is well for the itate to care for its people in the b ist possible manner, so here's al) honor to the prison commission and its work. Can You Read and Write and Figure? An educational crusade is on in Georgia. The compulsory education bill promises to become a certainty in the way of law soon and then it will he neces sary for the children of Georgia to go to school. The fig ires on illiteracy in this stale are somewhat dazzling and often beyond comprehension. The bill new pending before the legislature provides that all the children of the state between the ages of 8 and lfi must go to school. It means that there will be no illiteracy, that everybody will soon know how to read and write and figure. There is another trouble, however, confronting the state. How can all this be paid? If we laid claims to statemanship, or studied carefully affairs of state and how to do them, perhaps we might answer the question, but just now it seems that Georgia is needing the money to pay the teachers for the little work they have done. Georgia lawmakers are stingy when it comes to appropriating money for education. Here in Milledgeville one hundred thousand dollars would come in mightv handy for the G. N. & 1. College and we can’t get half the sum. Yes, it is a splendid idea to enforce education. We are anxious to have it passed, but we also want the teachers paid and we want better teachers and we are fur compulsory education, consequently give us more money and while you’re giving, Mr. Legislator, please pass $35,000 down here to build the new Agricul ture and Science Hall for the G. N. & I. College and then give the trustees all the money they need to operate the college. It will be money well spent, for little us some may think of it, these girls are the hope of the state and country. Sunday in the city to attend the funeial of Mr. James Aldred. Mrs. M. E.
