Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. q am a farmer, one of

of Vicksburg, Miss. where I got we'll

with n dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until had
to seek relief. l consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
TO pet bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and 1 caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something.

began using them, and before taking

ology mot some technical work. a
liberal supply of history, together
with all the other reading a person may

An education is a great equalizer. The
uneducated are prone TO 90 10 extremes
sometimes The middle ground of dis
erection tempered with sagacity is often
overlooked They either magnify to the
sky or deride without Limitation. Either
extreme is the result of intemper-
ate ambition. They are often i'll
their immediate associates. They possess
jealousies, hatreds and attachments which
they would not with an education. Some
times ill-designing persons take advantage
of those personalities and beRuile them
TO their own selfish instigations. On the
other hand, the educated have ease and a
fund OF self-confidence, because their edu
cation has enabled them to comprehend
and appreciate. They do not assume too
much over their interiors intellectually, if
they are honest. nor do they magnify too
highly their superiors for reason, judg-
ment and common sense are great ele-
ments among the educated.

Nestled peaceful in the glen,

Pass before their wondering ken.

Gathering round their homewArd way.
