teachers:
“I am in receipt of a letter from
1 Mrs. A. C. Freeman, a teacher in
> south Georgia, stating that an alleg
s ed representative of the Standard Ed
s ucation society, 134 North La Salle
street, Chicago, 111., recently sold her
. a set of the standard reference work
in ten volumes, making the represen-
> tation that I, as state superintendent,
had recommended these books, and in
that way affected the .sale. She states
’ that he collected money for the books
and has not delivered same, thoiiyh
; promising to do so on the folio’ A.'ig
day.
K This is to inform you that I have
► given no recommendation of any pub
lication put out by the above named
► society. The man selling these books
► is an imposter so far as having any
authority of recommendation from me
’ I trust that you will inform the
► teachers of your county and also not
ify me promptly if the man appears
’ in your county trying to effect sales
> by representing to the teachers that
I have recommended his books.”
Very truly vours,

A WORD OF PRAISE
L ■ Don’t wait until your friend’s in a
' I crate
i To show how you appreciate.
Before he goes to Elisium bowers,
j That is the time to throw him flowers
’Of the millions of men who have
walked this earth,
There is one class stands forth for its
sterling worth,
They help you in this vale of tears,
They ease you out and relieve your
fears.
You’d think they’d be blue with an
indigo hue,
From the complaints they hear the
the whole day through
But, no matter how sorry the story
you tell, z z
They’ll bid you cherily: “You'll soon
be well.”
Understand me please I’m making
no knocks
On other professions or trades or
stocks,
But I do acclaim the best men on
earth—-
Our medicine Docks.
Tho’ you combine all machines since
the world began,
Yet the greatest thing in the world
is a MAN.
Now would 1 sing the praise of one,
before he’s gone,
Who, for fifty years has healed our
fears and allayed our pains,
Who has traveled our roads in the
dark and sleet,
Through the mountains pass and the
village street.
Richman, poorman. beggerman, thief,
Never have called but he gave relief,
His not rewards or glory or fame;
Heeding not censor or praise or
blame.
He has served his county and pplay
ed the game,
And when the great. Rewarder posts
the names of those who’r best,
You’ll find Dr. Jack Bryant leading
the rest.
HARRY MARKS.
