WORDS TO THE SCHOOL BOY. GROVANIA SCHOOL CONCERT.
IN MEMORIAM.
Written for the home jobkxal.
Since my schooldays have, per
haps, about elapsed, and I look
backward over the time that has
pasifcd, I think of the many pre
cious moments that were wasted
in idleness in the school room, re
gardless of their value, as many
other boys have done. A moment
passed is a moment gone forever;
it cannot be recalled. Boys, you
who have school days yet to pass,
you can guard against the obsta
cles and use your time well, and
when the school books are laid
aside and your school days passed,
you can look backward to the
school time and appreciate the
progress you have made and the
knowledge obtained by earnest
and constant effort. While you
&re young and in school is the
time for you to realize the neces
sity and desirability of an educa
tion, for when you havt, become a
man it will be too late, for then
you must earn your daily bread.
Even if you could go to school
then, you could not give your full
mind to your books as you can
now. You could only look back
to boyhood days and repent of the
time wasted in idleness that you
owed to your books. Judging
other boys by. myself, it seems
that many of them fail to realize
the value of their best opportuni
ties ’till they have passed. Oh, if
our lives could be twice spent,how
different would be the second from
the first.
It is the destiny of every boy who
lives to reach it, to be a man; but
what kind of a man would he be
is the question first to be discuss
ed in his mind. If he would be a
wise and useful man, loved and
respected by all, and that will be
a good citizen and hold an honor
ed position in the minds of the
people, he must be educated to
fully meet the destiuy that awaits
him. Some of you may think that
if you obtain an education you
will have to be a school teacher, a
doctor, a lawyer, or follow some
great profession, but you can plow
a mule or work in a black-smith
shop with an education better
than you can without it. Should
it be your choice to follow a great
profession, you must be educated
before you can begin the work.
Bear in mind while, you are passing
OTer this interesting span,
That the hoy who obtains an-education
Is destined for a business man.
Nothing is added to the life of
man that will be more beneficial
in his business career than educa
tion. Education is knowledge and
knowledge is power. With this
power he will be able to overcome
the obstacles that may be met in
his business life. When once ob
tained it is a gift for life. It mat
ters not how rugged your life may
he, nor how many stumbling
blocks obstruct your path, educa
will be a comfort when you grow
old, a pleasure to know that when
young you obtained this tiling of
great and life-long value. It is
something that cannot be taken
from you by any earthly power,
°oe of the grandest acquirements
of man. It is a companion when
alone, a benefit in conversation,
society and business, obtainable
. V every boy who has a bright
mind and the opportunity, and
will tryto leam.
If you have the opportunity and
fail to obtain an education, don’t
deem it bad luck, or just your
chance, but jitst say, “If I had.
been more diligent when I was in
school and had studied my books
^ore, I.would have something to
show for my boyhood opportuni
ties. J. W. Preston,

The following report of the clos
ing exei^ses of Gfrovania School
was written for publication last
week, but was unavoidably crowd
ed out.
The Gfrovania school, under the
supervision of Miss M^btie Miller,
closed Friday evening June 7th,

with appropriate exercises, con
sisting of recitations, etc.
The exercises altogether were
good. The school being composed
mostly of small children, some
failures were anticipated, but
even the tiny tots not more than
six years of age, who had never
before appeared in public, asquit-
ted themselves' with composure
and elegance, and much gratifica
tion was expressed by.the patrons.
After the conclusion of the ex
ercises. the pupils challenged the
patrons to spell against them, but
the challenge was not accepted.
The school was then divided, and
a regular spelling bee followecl.
They certainly spelled well. Wil
liam Roberts was the last to sit
dowii and took the pie. Some
of the children deserve special
mention, but all having done so
well, I will only say we feel proud
of you and your accomplished
teacher. She deserves much praise
for the patience and energy slie
has devoted to teaching and train
ing and instructing you to a high
er elevation. I must say she is a
splendid teacher and good discip
linarian. Her patrons are well
pleased with her, and 1 have been
informed she will teach for them
again next fall.
The school was very much disap
pointedly the failure of Mr. W.
F. George to appear and deliver a
lecture, as had been promised.
Commissioner Smith, however,
gave us a brief talk instead, which
was plain, practical and appro
priate to the occasion. We were
glad to see him in our midst
The program of exercises, as
rendered by the school, was as

The Philadelphia North American
says: “The springing up of manufac
turing towns and cities throughout
the south will stimulate every branch
of industry. It is not merely a ques
tion of finding easier and better sale
for the few raw materials that go in
to the making of finished articles,
but in encouraging a greater diver
sity of production. Immigration and
advancement in a material way will
constantly create new needs that
must be supplied and afford new
openings for profitable labor.”

Mrs. M. E; Y. Dixon was bom
September 21st, 1845; died June
1st, 1901. 1 m
The friends and acquaintances of
Mrs. Dixon will be grieved to learn
of her-death, which occurred at her
home, Ponce De Leon Springs, At
lanta, Ga., Saturday, June 1st, 1901,
after an illness of four* weeks. Fu
neral services were held at the home
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Dr. Fraser
of Walker Street Church officiating.
The interment was at Gainesville,
Ga., Monday, June 3rd, at 11 a. m.,
Rev. Thomas performing the last
sad rites at the grave. She leaves
an aged mother, husband and four
children to mourn her daath.
We know that a vacancy has been
made which no one else can fill; that
home is no longer what it was when
mother’s face and voice welcomed
us there; yet we know that she has
received'her reward in Heaven, that
God hath said “well done thou good
and faithful servant,” and that she
now awaits our coming and will wel
come us there where death can nev
er part, but where we can once more
be a united family in a House not
made with hands.
Mrs. Dixon was a devoted wife
and mother, and a noble Christian
woman, always self-sacrificing for
the pleasure and comfort of others;
never tired of bearing another’s bur
dens. Such has been her daily walk
in life, and for which in death she
wears a crown of glory. Watch and
wait for us, mother. It will not be
long, and through the grace of God
we will meet you in Heaven, forever
to dwell in peace and glory.
