of this must be paid by the first of
January 1899 or it reverts back to the

Now every citizen, rich and poor,
should take enough interest to buy one
of these tickets whether he can attend
the entertainment or not. Everybody
should take it upon himself to talk it
up with his neighbors and friends.
These tickets will be on sale at the
different stores next Monday. and peo-
pie from the different churches and
schools will be around to solicit you.
Please don't refuse to buy one, as the
prosperity Of this college is Of much In
terest to every citizen.

We Have Them Here.

The fellow who commits crime and
who is sentenced to prison is not nee.
essarily meaner being than the Jurors
who found him guilty. The bee that
has used its singer is no worse than
the one that will sting tomorrow. So
m any people fiatter themselves on their
goodness because they do not violate
any of the statutory laws. While they
do not violate civil Law. they may be
the meanest wretches on earth. If
their souls are shriveled with hate, if
their hearts are shriveled with malice,
jealousy and spite and if their mental
faculties are used to injure their fell
lows, they are no better than the con.
vict that drags the ball and chain.
When the being in human form does
not nave little humanity, few noble
impulses. and heart that warns with
the touch of others. he is a miserable
wretch. although he may never have
broken state or federal law.-Deacon
Grant Shaw.
