er education deserves u greater re.
ward than has fallen to his lot. We
are not eXaggerating in the least
when we say he has more genuine
pluck than any other young man we
know. To meet tho storms and
struggles incident to the pursuits
OF higher education is not entirely
foreign to the experience of the
writer and hence he views with
greater pride the brilliant achieve
ments of our young hero. We know
that his face is familiar to large
portion OF our readers and that
every word we say in commentator
to his inyincible zeal is echoed and
re-echoed by all who know him.
When his lank, lean form first APP
peared about this Office we little
dreamed that he would win even the
second prize. 1t required but u few
weeks for us to see how badly we
were deceived. His manner proved
to be the very essence of success
and we allude to it here as much for
the purpose Of setting up an ex-
ample for others as we do to COM
mend meritorious action. Natur-
ally he engendered some hatred and
jealousy. He is not alone in this
misfortune. This is but an evidence
Of his perseverance and his loyalty
to himself, duty which no honest
man can safely disregard. Besides
his loyalty to himself he has shown
an unfaltering trust to the interests
Of his benefactor, the Middleburgh
PosT. He has brought to us as
many new subscribers as all the
other contes tants combined slThis
is remarkable record. We are
, glad to hotc TINT our efforts 10 start
young men on au educational ca
reer haze not been entirely in vain.
When he goes to Bloomsbury he
gets into good hands..s..and the
Bloomsbury school gets specimen
of pluck in colossal proportions.
Our best wishes are generously
rendered to him in his career for ed
ucational supremacy.
