\roL. XXX. 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.

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.

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. W. P. D.
