DALTON.

Our town seems to be making pro-
gress, Two new houses on Mill street
begin to show up very well and when
completed will be very neat residences.
The street lamps are also a very great
improvement to the place. There is
one drawback, however. The weeds are
growing on some of our streets. This
is very unpleasant to some, especially
those who are obliged to get up with
the singing of the birds and to wade
through the dew to catch the early
morning train.

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
Fine Programme Rendered at the
Sixteenth Annual Comm mencement.

The entertainment provided by the
class of '97, at the sixteenth high school
commencement, was one of the best
ever given by the graduating classes.
A very pleasing variety are afforded
for the class being small The essays
were few.
The stage of the Grand Opera house
was decorated in an artistic manner
with palms, ferns and rare flowers.
The exercises opened with the anthem
Praise the Lord" under the direction
of Professor w. d. Evans. Then came
the salutatory address by Miss Ella
f. Horan, whose well chosen subject
was "The Memory of Home" The
effort was appropriate and was well
received. Messrs. Evans, Tappan,
Crane and r. Hockenberry rendered
pleasing vocal selection, which was
followed by a recitation, "He Worried
About It." by Miss Margaret F. Morri-
son, which pleased the audience. Ray
mond Hockenberry gave with good
vocal effect "The Mighty Deep" Miss
Mary Magdolene Murphy spoke of our
High School Commencements," giving
an interesting historical account of the
past sixteen years. 1t was valuable
paper and full of interest. A charming
solo was then rendered, "If Papa Were
Only Ready" by little Blodwin Davis.
Miss Emma l.. Barrett recited THE
Turned Lesson" and received liberal
applause After a vocal solo by Pro-
fessor Evans, the class poem, by Miss
Isabelle Freeman Watt, was read, and
received warm expressions of appre-
citation. The valedictory address was
given by Miss Grace +. Mum upon
"The Science of Education" The sub
ject was treated in an able manner,
and appropriate words were spoken to
classmates, friends and the board of
education.
After selections by the High School
quartette, composed of Messrs. Brid-
gett, Dix, Pendleton and NJ. Hocken-
berry, School Director ]. w. Dimock
came forward and, in a very appro-
pirate address, presented diplomas to
six young lady graduates. Professor
II. j. Hockenberry then gave his ad-
dress on the subject, what Becomes
of the Boys Who Gra duate?" This
earnest appeal will prove valuable
reading when printed in full, and will
find many who will appreciate his elo-
quent discourse.
The commencement was one of the
most interesting in the history of the
school.

GREAT MEMS SONS.

1t is not often that the sons of great men
amount to much. Nature seems to have
exhausted her supply of genius for a time
when great man is moulded, and shows
an inclination to take rest. And so it
generally happens that the son is not speci-
ally endowed. He may look like his ex-
allied father, walk like him, talk like him
SO far as intonations of voice are concerned,
and write hand that might easily be taken
for the old mans, but when the supreme
test comes he isn't there. There is some
thing wanting.
And so he must be content to walk
around under the shadow of his father s
big hat, to be pointed out in public places
as the son Of so and SO, and perhaps over
hear that che looks some like his father,
but he's no such man and never will he. "
If he sticks to private life all may 20
well, but woe to him if he is tempted to
enter the field of politics or compete for
official honOrs among struggling politicians.
Then he finds the opposition papers filled
with mean and contemptuous slurs, and
sees his own poor talents brought into COM
parson with his fathers genius in a very
humiliating way. If he doesn't wish that
he had never been born, he at least regrets
that he didn't make his advent into the
world ahead of his illustrious father, so
that he might have chance.
A great mans son not unfrequen'ly re-
sembles his sire in nothing except his weak
nesses and his vices, which are reproduced
in an exaggerated and more repulsive FORM
If the father was Incorporate the son may
be sot, though this is not so very strange,
for if there was no depression incident to
inheriting great name without the talent
to sustain it, it must inevitably drive a
sensitive soul into dissipation.
No humble but persevering young man
should ever suffer himself to envy the fate
of the rich mans son. He is an object of
commiseration, rather, for he was handi-
capped from the start, and however consid-
cradle his own talents may be- he can never
hope to soar above the shadow of great
name.-Toledo Blade.
