Cleveland High School will close
its present term May 19th. That
day will be one long to be remem¬
bered by those who are to graduate
There are others who will not re¬
turn to school again. Tor them,
though they may not realize it, this
is indeed sad.
Circumstances may prevent some
from returning; but the desire to
have money of their own is the pit
fall of error into which others may
fall. This is a great mistake—a
mistake that in after years will be
found much more difficult to cor¬
rect for lack of time.
Then why should we not use our
utmost endeavors to iniluence this
class of students to return to their
courses of study and graduate be¬
fore going into the world to com¬
bat the difficulties of life? Young
man, you will make a grave mis
take if you do not continue in
school until you carry away your
“sheepshin ” Can you not see so
far—and yet so near—into the
rugged paths of life that lie out¬
stretched before you? You can if
you will consult those who have
tsaveled the path. It is a real
tragedy for boys and girls to make
a half success in life when witli just
a little more preparation you could
h tve made a whole success.
Lord Bacon said, Reading mak
eth a full innn ; conference a ready
man; and writing an exact man.”
There is much reason why you
should study history, mathematics,
natural philosophy, logic and rhet¬
oric. These studies make wise,
witty, deep, and able to command,
for as Aristotle wrote, “What we
learn to do, wo learn by doing.”
There is a tremendous task for
everyone in this world to perform,
and just how well w e perform it
depends upon our preparation for
the task.
This has been a school year filled
to the brim with the best instruc¬
tion this school has ever known,
and we hope we may be able to
keep it up.
To those young people who will
not enter school next fall, we ap¬
peal to them to enter upon the ser¬
vice of humanity in occupotions es
essential, not to the folly or frivol¬
ity of life, but in that avenue of
life wherein you may become a
factor in the production of that
which tends to, perfection in the
necessary things of life. Let your
purpose be firm and steadfast for
justice in all things, and stubborn¬
ly refuse to partake of the any¬
thing and everything that tends to
lower your moral life by permitting
yourself to become entangled in
the web of corruption so invitingly
offered you at ever turn and crook
of of life. Be a man ; that is your
first duty.
You hold within your grasp the
reins that lead to service in the
ranks of wickedness and demoral¬
ization. If you choose this road
you have but adorned your life
with a crown of adomination, tlie
fruits of which you must reap in
coming vears in bitterness, sorrow,
degradation, yea, perhaps suidide
or murder, an out cast from the
dazzling rays of light that other¬
wise would permeate your whole
being wherein you would bask in
the sunlight of righteousness.
Be not lured then, young people,
from the path of duty and the
grandeur of service byfieeing after
shadows that vanisjJJ when the sun
obscured by the cloud, or, in the
words of “Bobby” Burns:
“But pleasures we tike poppies spread
You seize the fiow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like tile snow-falls in the river,
A momeint white—then melts forever.”

let The Courier know it.
THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
We stated in our last issue that
the county commissioners decided
not to turn the money over to the
Highway Department. We got
that wrong, but we wish they had
decided that for we believe the
people of White county want them
to hold it until the Highway De¬
partment fills some of their obliga¬
tion. That body did not take any
action at all on the turning of the
bond money over to the Highway
Department. It might be a good
idea for a petition from each dis¬
trict be presented to the county
commissioners asking that they
withhold the bond money.
You will notice a news article
dealing with Owens Fruit & Pro¬
duce Co. These people sent us
this ad and we published it once,
but no more because they would
not send check for full amounj of
insertions wanted.

ing a dip at Hot Spring and at¬
tending the Methodist conference.
How many couples are expecting
to “drop off” in June? If you
will bring us the bride-to-be pic
ture we will have it put in a metro¬
politan Sunday paper and make
her feel just as important as any
society Jane and with no cost to
you at all. Now if you have not
tysked her you had better do so at
once because we must have this by
May 18. You know it will make
your “toosie woosie” feel good to
see her picture and announcement
alongside of some millionaire's
daughter. Come on boys.
II. II. Elmer, ofSyracuse, N.Y.,
has invented an engine that is a
marvel. It only has sixty-four
parts, including screws. The cost
of fuel for this engine by the gal¬
lon is five and one-half cents and
he says if you put it in your auto
tank you can travel 300 miles.
Think of it! No spark plugs, car
burator or other kind of ignition.

derer? Slander is the fonlest wliep

tell their readers what a real coun¬
try we have here.
It is our desire to have everyone
of the Atlanta Dailies represnted.

We want a delegation from
Helen and Nacoochee to meet them
in Cleveland, and we expect Helen
