dustrial school that we are building
at Milledgeville, and how quickly it
will be filled when it is finished, and
how, before many years, those work
ing girls will be mating with those
working boys, and what an indepen-
dent team it will make in fighting
the battle Of life; what contrast to
the ball kickers and the dudes aud
butterflies that come and infest our
cities and do nothing but pay calls
and receive calls, and read novels in
bed, and get up to breakfast at 10
o'clock, and change their apperal
three or four times aday. I have but
little patience with these college girls
who skim through and read a compo-
sition that somebody else wrote, and
and carry home a painting that the
teacher painted, aud then begin to
circulate and visit their classmates,
and when they are not on the go,
their classmates are on the Gomez and
hear they go and hear they go. and
1T all costs money, and the old folks
get no good, and no help no comfort
from either the coming OF going, and
when it is too late they realize that
! sending the daughter to a fashion
. "ble college was sad mistake. 1t
las has not made them bad orstrong
minded, but they are just no account,
that's all. [ say it deliberately, and
from observation, that if girl is sent
away from home to college, and stays
there two or three years, nine out of
OF ten will be no account when they
come home They may be good
scholars, and even smart in chemis-
try and geometry and astronomy, but
her business in life is not to use the
blow, nor measure the earth, nor the
the stars. when the college is at
home, and the girl lives at home and
helps her mother and does some house
work every day, q college is a good
thing for her, but work must be mix
cd with study, or the girl or the boy
will be no account. Of coIrse, the
girl will come home accomplished,
and will know how to stand up and
sit down and walk around gracefully,
and how to smile, and sing, and re-
cline and languish and all that, but
she is not going to cut and fit and
make dress for little Sally nor help
Bob with his arithmetic. Worse than
all, some sentimental society editor
OF a newspaper will mention her as
the charming and lovely Miss Eu-
phronia, and that will almost make
fool of her. Mayhap she will visit
Atlanta or Macon or Augusta, and
the society editor will note her arri
val and use adjectives upon hcr-elc-
CANT, graceful, fawn-like, sylph like,
exquisite, beautiful and divine Right
then she is gone up. T wish these
society editors could get up q new set
of words just to vary the monotony
of their gushing hattery They say,
though, that it always secures a sub
scriber to the paper; that two adjec-
tivcs generally do the work, and that
three are sure.-Bill Arp i'll Constitu-
ton.

To the Editor of The News and
Courier: With the passage of tho
bills by the Legislature which will
render possible the opening of Glenn,
son College on October 1st next
every arrangement will be made here
to receive students on that day. II

advance as possible the number we
should prepare for. Already names
OF students are being sent in to be
registered for the flst session, and
would suggest to all proposing to en-
ter the first year be now sent me. AS
soon as the board Of trustees complete

and go as inevitably as the seasons.
Whether we contribute to these things
by our conduct or not, there is sound
philosophy in making the best of our
surroundings. Only he is truly indie
pendent, who appropriates everything
to the promotion of his own happi
ness. We often allow temper, and
Ill temper at that, to dictate our
criticisms, and chafe those who do
not deserve it. Like an over charged
shot gun this makes itself felt at both
ends, but unlike the gun, it gen,
orally does the most damage at the
butt end. II politics are not going
to snit you, turn your whole atten.
tlon to your own private business, and
1T will soon fit You better than it ever
has before. Everybody cannot hold
a Government Office, but the worse
you are left, stick the closer to the
party. There is nothing like patient
waiting and diligent attention to or"'s
own business, to give him strc,&n
and influence with himself and othrr,
The best way to provide for "tha heal
after" is to work wisely and faithfully
at "thc now" Strike "the now
while it is hot. Every stroke Of you,
hammer will show up Oh "the here

Between Iou;i, and age.

The Boston Globe thinks that with
kIrlin2 writing himscls into fame al
tWpntyfour, and Gladstone doing the
work Of n statesman at eighty. il
would seem that our limitations upou
youth and age arc artificial and arbi
irary.
kipling has wisely decided that
when man feels impciled to write
he cannot be too young for the work
He should go ahead and do his lcve,
best. Gladstone is equally wise in
deciding that it is unnecessary fol
him to seek rcpCse when he feels ca
rablc Of making his best efforts.
Both are right. There is no sense
IN standing back until middle ago
preparing Tor career, only to retire
from IT a few years later ON acco,nt
Of Old rgc. Kipling lives with ,.i,.~t
mon, and Gladstone associates VIZ,
Younger men. These two live in Tn,
happy middle ground between youth
and age, and they cannot be measur,
cd by the summers and winters that
have pissed over thcr heads.
a hrainY, healthy man can do his
best work in the sphere for which he
is fitted, early in life, and also when
he is III his eighties. Such a man,
when he lives rightly, is never too
Young and never too old, 50 far as his
intellectual faculties are concerned.
The question to ask about n man
is not How how old is he? but What
can he Go?-Atlantn Constitution.
Good Grade ever the EsIuc Isidpc.
>. ii. Harrison, an engineer in the
surveying corps under Mai Lee, has
succeeded in getting n sixty five. foot
grade over the Blue Ridge noun
tains, a thing that has been put
down as impossible. For two months
the corps, which was sent ont Ly the
Congarce Construction Company, has
been ut work in the mountains sur-
veying route across the Blue Ridge.
There have been many rmmors about
the survey, some saying that the
corps was sent out by persons wno
contemplated buying and completing
the Carolina, Knoxville & Western
road if practical route over the
could be secured. There
IS a good deal in connection with the
survey that has not been told and
may not be made public for some
.me, but it is not improbable that
Mr. Harrison's easy route will give

The Holiday Rest.

The week between Christmas and
New Year is always more or less a
week of enjoyment or rest. With the
young, it is fifty week of generous
pleasure; with the older it is a week
of rest, and it is the season, with
new year of new duties and new
responsibilities confronting US, when
most persons soberly consider their
purposes, and reach their resolves
for the future.
1t is we'll that there is this holiday
break in the wearing exactions of
life; and the best evidence of its
general usefulness is in the fact that
the Christmas holidays are more or
less observed and enjoyed even by
those whose faith invests Cbristm as
with no special sanctity. 1t is a
universal holiday season in which all
have common pleasure, and the
world is all the better because of
this season of liberal enjoyment,
charity and rest.
This season of rest is the season
of good resolves, and there is special
fitness in it. None can look back
over a year that has fed forever,
without seeing many acts of omis-
sion or commission which bring only
regrets, and the coming of new
year invites better effort to make
life more useful and happy. Many
good resolves of this season of rest
will be forgotten as they have been
in the past; but every good resolve
that is only half maintained, or even
the good resolve that is early shat
tered, is better than no thought or
purpose to avoid the errors of the
past and make a brighter future.
Let the season of rest be enjoyed
as each can best enjoy it. Let the
young folk have their fun and frolic
withtut hindrance; let the aged re-
new their youth by generous sym.
pathy with them, and let good cheer,
good will, good deeds and good re-
solves make the holidays live in
grateful recollections. Christmas
comes but once a year; let it be a
season Of happiness and rest for all.
