rink will be conducted in first class
order. One of EImira's best skaters
is expected to be present for the

TRIUMPH OF EDUCATION.
Extract of sermon delivered ny
Rev. Palmer, at the Mill street church
On Sunday evening:
"Washington, though the father OF
Dur country, had not the advantages
for acquiring an education that are
afforded the most worthless boys that
lounge about our court house corners.
Nor did Adam, nor any of his sue
cessors to the present. If the noun
tains of our Ignorance are to be
brought low, and the valleys of our
race humiliation are to be exalted by
education and the culture OfIthe race,
ultimate success and triumph of that
work are dependent upon you. The
duty of the hour, and the many de-
mands of the age, call us to the ex-
ercise of every mental power, and the
employment of every reasonable
means to reach the end in view. Pa
rents, you are to prepare to meet the
present emergency. Be not like the
selfish, unsacrifcing Pharisees of the
day of our Lord. Do not lock the
door of wisdom and throw the key
away from children, but sey to them,
I had not the opportunities which
you have; if I had had them would
have embraced them with you

Stay In the South.

In view Of the present development Of
the South, and the rapid strides of pro.
gress that are being made Throughout
that section, it would hardly seem neces.
sary to say TO Southern people that their
own country offers to day better chance
for success in life than any other country
in the world, and of the truth of this we
feel fully assured. The world has never,
We believe, witnessed more marvelously
rapid progress, not simply in one branch
of business, but In every material inter.
eat, than has been made by the Southern
States during the last five years. or
course there are aome sections cut off
from communication with tho rest of the
world by lack of transportation facilities
that have not yet. felt the thrill of the

With all its advantages for agriculture
n all Its varied branches, for manufac.
turing of every kind, for mining for
precious metals, as we'll as for the more
valuable baser ones, coal, iron, &c.,
for numbering, and, in fact, for almost
every honest occupation to which the
haud and mind of man aud women can
be devoted, the South possesses wealth
of opportunities that are unrivalled.
This fact is being appreciated by the
people Of other sections, already we see
that thousands, from the North. and the
West, and millions aud even hundreds of
millions of dollars are pouring into the
Southern States. The mighty march of
progle has, however, but just begun,
and, the next Eve years will witness far
more rapid development than has been
seen in the past.
With these facts being pressed upon
them, it seems strange that many South.

around them, think that it. is only By
going to some new and unialproved

A Belled Buzzard.

TAYLoRsvILLE, GA, March 5.-The
belled buZzard, whose flight over the
Western counties of Georgia has aroused
80 huch superstitious fear among igno.
rant whites and blacks, passed over
field to-day where three men were plow-
ing. One of them, a negro, quit work at
once, and snid the hi.a .as warning the
people of another cyclone, in which hun
dreds of people would be killed. The
story of this celebrated bird is an inter
esting one. Nearly two years ago it was
q pet in the farm.yard of farmer named
Freeman, In Paulding Couuty. One of
his children one day attached a sheep
bell to the birds foot, aud the tinkling
sound of the bell scared 1t 80 that it i'm.
mediately flew away. The first night out
it alighted on the roof of negro cabin
in Heard County. One of the inmates
went out to ascertain the cause of the
bell.ringing, and Immediately the buz.
zard rose from its perch and few away.
The night wsa clear and cold, and as the
inmates rushed out and beheld the Great
black object and heard the tinkiing of
the bell hundreds OF feet in the air, great
fear seized them, and they all took to
their knees under an impression that the
end of the world was approaching. Ever
since the bird has pursued its migrations
through the State, arousing the fears of
the supers,itious, who regard its visits rs
an omen Of evil. The negroes and many
whites, too, along the track of the late
storm insist that they heard the fateful
bell about an hour before the terrible
wrath of wind had cn,ne upon them.
In 1917 II buzzard was similarly belled
in Putnam County, and up until 1850,
when his presence was last reported in
Greene County, he was vouched for as
having visited points as far Wes as Me.
