Education cannot be acquired
without pain and application. It
jg troublesome and deep digging
for pure water, but when you come
to the springs, they rise up and
meet you. Every grain helps fill
the bushel; so does the improve
ment of every moment increase
knowledge. Let cur memories
linger but a few moments on past
school days, when mamma taught
us to lisp the a. b. c., and so on
through the alphabet. With what
fortitude she taught us from A. to
%. Step by step, from then to the
present time, when I seat myself
to address you upon . this impor
tant subject, many pleasant mem
ories are called to mind, and some
real amusing scenes—our dinner
baskets and buckets, the girls’
places of resort, “the sweet gum
pond,” the boys’ heaven, the
“wash-hole,” where he learned to
swim at recess, the different pro
fessors whose patience we have so
often taxed by our misconduct and
dullness at lessons; from first till
now, up the ladder, one round
after auother, with our eyes fixed
on the top round, when we are to
receive our “sheep-skin” diploma.
By gaining a good education
•you shall have your reward in the
rich stores of knowledge you have
collected, and which shall ever be
at your command, more valuable
than earthly treasure. While
fleets may sink,^store-houses con
sume, banks totter and riches flee,
the intellectual investment you
have thus made will be permanent
and enduring; unfailing as the
constant flow of Niagara or Ama
zon; a bank whose dividends are
perpetual, whose wealth is undi
minished, however heavy the
drafts upou it; which, though
moths may impair, yet thieves can
not break through nor steal. Nor
will you be able to fill this store
house. Pour into a glass a stream
of water, and at last it will fill to
the brim and will not hold another
drop. But you may pour into
your mind, through a whole life
time, streams of knowledge, upon
every conceivable question, and
not only shall it never be full, but
it will constantly thirst for more,
and welcome each fresh supply
with a greater joy. Nay, more;
3 7 ou may impart to ail around 3 r on
of the gladdening streams which
have so fertilized 3’our own mind,
and yet, like the candle from which
a thousand other candles may be
lighted without diminishing its
flame, your supply will not be im
paired. On the contrary, your
knowledge, as you add to it, will it
self attract still more' as it widens
your realm of thought, and thus in
your own life will you realize the
parable of the ten talents, for “To
him that hath shall be given.”
“The beginning of wisdom is to
fear God; but the end of it is to
love Him.” “The highest learn
ing is to be wise; the greatest wis
dom is to be good.”
“Take the bright shell from its home on
the lea,
And wherever it goes it will sing of tbo
sea.”

A Man Who Had the Gout.
There is a man in town who has
the rheumatic gout, says the New
York Evening Sun. He also has
great riches, and a collection of
art and curios that have been the
joy and solace of a life much bro
ken up by the twinges of his great
toe. This collection he values be
yond his moue3 7 , and is in great
fear of its falling into the hands of
a relative who is his nearest heir.
This he determined at all hazards
should not occur; at the same time
he will not make a will, although
his attacks of gout are frequent
and dangerous.
Like many men, he is supersti
tious about making a will. He
feels that if it were once done
there would be nothing left but to
wait for the undertaker. The re
sult is that when he is free from
pain he feels the collection to be
safe, but when an attack comes on
it is intensified by the man’s ludi
crous fear lest he will die before
he has put it out of his brother’s
reach.
His doctor and friends have ar
gued with him, but to no purpose.
Every time he is violently seized
the servants run for the doctor and
lawyer at the same time. Tables
are drawn up, and pen, ink and
paper are in readiness as prompt
ly as the medicines. Again and
again wills have been drawn up,
but no matter how low he has
been he has never yet signed one.
The other da\- he had a violent
seizure. There was the usual hur
ry 7 and scurry. He was really 7 felt
to be dying, aud as the end was
supposed to be near, he was held
up in bed, quill iu hand, and the
family Held their breaths in sus
pense at the spectacle. His breath
was growing fainter and fainter.
His hand was carried to the pa
per, but he did not sign. He
seemed to be calculating for just
time enough-to sign his name, and
then, in the language of the novel
ist, to let the pen drop from his
nerveless grasp and expire.
The alarm.of the family finally
gave wa3 7 to an unruly curiosity as
to which would win, the sick man
or death. But the old man won.
He breathed better, and at length
he spoke out with decision: “I
guess I won’t sign it to-day.”
They knew then that he was safe
for another attack.

As will be seen from the above
the State Fair is “on” again in all
its glory. We are assured by Sec
retory Nisbet that the prospect is
unusully bright. The postpoue-
ment has gained a special advan
tage in the matter of live stock and
the races. The entries in both
those departments will be much
larger than tlie\ 7 would have been
in October.
The dates as they now stand
form a good racing circuit with
Macon in the lead, followed by
Columbus and Augusta in or
der named. This assures the best
races seen in Georgia in many
3 7 ears, which alone will be worth a
trip to Macon.
McIntosh, Talbot and Hancock
counties are in the race for the
$1,000 premium, with a very strong
probability that Houston will fol
low suit;'thus you see there will
be no lack of interest, information
and amusement for all.
The State Fair belongs to the
people of Georgia, and the people
of Georgia should see to it
that there are full exhibits and big
crowds.
No less than three of the Lon
don theaters are managed by wo
men. Grace Hawthorne is mana
ger and lessee of the Princess,
and is soon to have another thea
ter built for her. Mrs. John Wood
presides over the affairs of the
New Court Theater, and Mrs. Lane
Lane runs one of the most flour
ishing theaters iu the East End.
Miss Edith Woodworth has also
shared the management of the
Globe with Edgar Bruce.
The public schools in Jersey
City are so overcrowded; and there

children to attend school iia the

ington the other day, as special
counsel for the government, “the
most indecent performance of the
political canvass.” What Judge
Thurman’s appearance in the tele
phone cases, has to do with the po
litical canvass it is difficult to un
derstand. The manner, however,
in which the Tribune attempts to
to connect the telephone litigation
with the political canvass is ridic
ulous, and will not command the
respect of thinking men anywhere.
It is admitted by republicans
that the government has a right to
bring-a suit to test the validity of
the Bell telephone patents, or any
other patents. The government
brought such a suit. It was al
leged freely that Bell had obtained
his patents, by fraudulent means,
and that the immense monopoly
which these patents made possible
was based upon fraud. It was the
duty of the government to deter
mine judicially whether or not this
allegation were true, because if it
were the people ought to have the
benefit of the truth, and to be re
lieved from the exactions of a great
monopoly.
Judge Thurman was retained by
the government as one of the
counsel to test the validity of the
patents. This was long before
there was any thought of nomina
ting him for idee president. He
lias appeared before the courts
more than once in these telephone
cases. He has studied
thoroughly, and has all the
of them well in : hand. He has re
ceived a part of his compensation.
Under-the circumstances could he
honorably withdraw 7 from them?
Is there any excellent reason why
he should? Because he is a can
didate for a great office, is that any
reason why he should give np bis
legitimate business? Has n#t
General Harrison, attended to his
law business since he has been a
presidential candidate?
No lawyer, however nice his
sense of honor may be, cau find
any reaspnable excuse for not ac
cepting a fee from the government
to act as counsel iu the Bell tele
phone cases. The suits being
honest ones, and Judge Thurman
being a lawyer of prominence, the
Tribune will have hard work to
convince any considerable number
of its readers that his appearance
in thern'is an indecent perform
ance. He would have been open
to very serious criticism if he had
withdrawn from the cases as soon
as he was nominated.
