c. r. Clary. Gafney, S. c.. Box s2.-Dear
Junior: 1t seems to me that we boys are
very tardy in deciding what vocation In lie
We will pursue Inactivity IS a great draw
back and right along here comes influence
When Il young man starts out to baltic
with the world he invariably meets this
influence. tainted it is. to throw obsta-
cles in his way, when he IS right on the
eve of applying himself. and the poor. iS-
norant. unfortunate fellow dixie the waves
of the ocean, mingleS with such debased
influences and is drifted away. Boys and
girls too. we do not know how long we
are to live or what will come along tomor-

have had Il varied experience in the COM
mercial world. but 1t seems that we are
always in the rear, and doing nothing for
ourselves Not many of US now can hold
lurrative position.

education? Or is 1t to a great extent from
the fact that most of us are lazy or shift

lar remark. He knows. but somehow he

It Will avail but little In this everyday.
busy world. Boys, let us be active and
practical. for we may theorize all our Gays
work, but there Is quite a difference be
tween talking or thcOriZing about a thing
ond doing t., I inclose 10 cents for the
Grady hospital. Would like correspondents
from Georgia.
