Winston, n. G., Jan. 19.-(SpeciaD-
General Robert e. Lees birthday was
celebrated by Winston City Schools to-
day. A large life sized portrait of Gen
eral Lee was presented to the West
End school by the Senior class. Hon.
G. B. Watson made an appropriate adj
dress in which he pictured the Great
General as he knew him and as he saw
him day after day on the battle fields.
Referring to the portrait, Mr.. Watson
said:
''While it was a fine one, it did rot
show up the man as he really was; that
to see him on horseback riding in front
of the lines, was to behold man who
had the appearance of a God"

There are three other members OF congress IN

Farmer Boss ana City Boys.

That farm life is more conducive to the
development of well-rounded character
than that of the city is a well recognized
fact There are many reasons for this.
In childhood and youth the fie:dom of
field and forest with their fresh and in
MIGRATING atmosphere gives strength to
both mind and body. The restraints of
city life dwarf the intellectual and physi-
cal development of the young. and often
render them incapable in later years of
the application essential to great achieve
ment. Besides this in every town and
city the temptation to all manner of dissi-
patton Is so great that there are compare
lively few who are able to withstand 1t,
and the downward drift is begun very
early with perhaps a majority Of them.
The dangers of vicious and demoralizing
associations at all times beset the young
men of the city and by them they are
led to ruin. 1t is impossible for the par
ents to keep constant surveillance over
their boys after they get large enough
to go out uuon the streets in the night
time. 1t Is in the nature OF boys to want
to see what is going on. and they are very
apt to see 1t II not physically restrained
