The Family, Its Purposes,
Each of us is 2 member ot some
family, we were borned into the
family circle, and our parents first
taught us to obey by insisting on
obedience, parents govern their
children, and thus keep them from
evil and from danger. The family
then is a form of government, es
tablished for the good of the chil
dren themselves, and the first gov
ernment that each of us must obey.
The purposes of the family exists
for the rearing and training of chil
dren, and for the happiness and
prosperity of parents; all children
‘need the comfort and restraint of
home life for we are growing up to
be citizens and rulers of the coun
try, and should learn to.
Rule by first learning to obey,
for the lessons of our home pre
pare us for life and for citizenship.
Each of us is a member of some
family government exists for all,
especially for the children, that
they may be protected, guided, and
taught to become useful men andl
women. The welfare of each of us
depends upon our family govern-‘
ment, upon the care of the parents
and the obedience of the ch'ldren.
Each member has cer‘ain rights.
That is certain just claims upon the
family, each Las the right to 21l the
care and protection that the family
can give a right to be kindly treat
ed, a right to be spoken to in a po
lite manner, a right to fcod, cloth
ing, anq shelter and an opportunity
to acquire an education, 2 right to |
the advice of and warning of thel
older members, and in the plain &
right to the respect of all. Now!
while we have our rights we have
our duties, for we know that where
there is a right there must be a
duty also with it. It is the duty
of each of us to treat the others
kinnly. to teach them what is right
and what is wrong, to aid them in
their work. to comfort them in
their sorrows, and to rejoice with
them in their gladness. It is the
duty of all children to love their
parents, and to obey them in all
things, to respect older persons,
and to obstain from bad habits and
bad language, that we should not
be a subject to.
A Roval Son of The Wiregrass.
He Is The Man We Need.
Mr. Editor---I have been looking
over the situation in our county, to
see who among the good citizens,
will meet with the approval of our
people for Senator, in the next gen
eral ascembly. We want a good
man. A man who is not for sale.
A man who is honest, sound from
center to circumference, true to the
heart’s core. A man who will con
demn wrong in friend or foe, in
himself as well as others. A man
whose conscience are as steady as
. the needle to the pole. A man who
will stand for the right-if the heav
ens totter and the earth reels. A
man who can tell the truth and
look the devil right in the eye. A
man that never brag mor run, that
neither swagger nor flinch, who can
have courage without whistleing
for it, joy without shouting to bring
it. A man in whom the current of
everlasting life runs still, and deep
_and strong. A man who lis care
ful of God’s honor and careless of
men’s applause. We can get such
a man in the person of John A.
Cromartie.

DREAM INSPIRATION.
Intellectual Achievemants Born of
Visions In Sleep.
1t is well known, says H., Addington
Bruce in Success Magazine, that
dreams Have stimulated men to re
markable intellectual achlevements
and bhave even supplied the material
for these achievements, Thus Cole
ridge composed “Kublai Kbhan" in a
dream. Tartini got his “Devil's So
nata” from a dream in which the devil
appeared and challenged him to a mu
sical comoetition, It was a dream that
gave Voltaire the first canto of his
“Henriade,” and Dante's “Divina Com.
media” is likew!'se gaid to have heen
inspired by a dream.
Many novelists on their own admis.
sfon have obtained the plots for some
of their best works from materials
provided in dreams. A particularly
impressive instance is that of Robert
Louis Stevenson, whose “Chapter on
Dreams” in his book “Across the
Plains” should be read by all who
wonld learn what dreams can do for a
man intellectually, The solution of
batlling mathematical problems, the
ideas necessary to complete some in
vention, have been supplied by dreams.
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known to rise in his sleep and jot
down the information thus acquired.
In such cases he usually forgets al’
about the helpful dream and on awak
ing is greatly surprised at finding the
record he has made of it, which shows
that—as with the visions so potently
influencing health—it is possible for
dreams to aid a man in an intellectual
way without his being consciously
aware of them.
: The Tample of Zeus.
All that remains of the great temple
of Zeus, which was 700 years in build
ing, is to be found about 150 yards

ens. The ruins consist of sixteen col
umns of the Corinthian order, six and
one-half feet in diameter and sixty
feet high, It was the second largest
tempha crected by the Greeks, one su
perior 2o it in 47ze being -the temple
of Diana at Ephesus. According to a
legend, its Yeandation was built by
Dukalion, the Greek Noah, who from
this point, witnesasgd the waters of the
flood subside. An openig in the
ground is said to be the orifice through
which the flood disappeared.
