STATE TREASURER.
Owing to the unfortunate occur.
rences in connection with the State
treasury since the last adjournment of
the legislature, it becomes my unpleas-
ant duty to lay before you officially the
facts which brought about the vaca-
tion of the Office by Treasurer Showers
and the election of his successor.
In August last, acting under the re-
quirements Of Section 2159 of the
Code, counted the money in the
vaults of the treasury, and, upoa
yerification, there was found shor5
age in the cash called for by the books
to the amount of slS1,252.52. Where
upon, acting under requirements Of
| the Code, ] made and caused to be pub.
llshed a certificate covering in detail
the facts and conditions as disclosed
by such investigation and count, a
copy of which certificate iSas follows:
"On August 18TH 1901, deemed II

shows that "a Of the towns in Missls-
sippi are organized into separate
school districts, and it is gratifying to
report that they, as rule. have COM
modious, handsome and suitable build
ings, and that during the scholastic
year ending 1900 the enrolment was
approximately $4,000, and for the year
1901 they enrolled In the aggregate
1916 pupils. The average number OF
days taught In said schools during the
last scholastic yea" was 1893. or more
than eight scholastic months. It fur
ther appears, from the Superintend.
ents report, that the total amount Of
money collected for these schools for
the last scholastic year was SAP.
449.83, and | estimate the same
amount for 1900. These are gratifying
statistics, and show that the citizens
OF the towns are progressive. and ara
keeping well In the van Of the great
educational movement now in progress
in this country. 1t will further appear
from the above that the approximate
per capita per annum of all the funds
received was s1155 on the total enroll
ment.
1t may be interesting to extend this
line of statistics to the State colleges
for the last two years. The average
amount per capita per annum expend.
ed on the students enrolled In these
institutions sor the last two years was
as follawe.

THE TROUBLES OF LIFE.
Their Relation to Happiness Dis
cussed by Rev. Chas. III. Strong.

Their Relation to Happiness Dis
cussed by Rev. Chas. II. Strong.
THE Reconciliation of Happiness
with the Troubles of Life" was the
subject of the sermon by Rev. Charles
II. Strong at st. Johns Church last
night. 1t was one of the series on
Home and Happiness" The text on
which the address was based is Heb.
xii:2, Looking unto Jesus, the author
and finisher of our faith: who for the
JOY that was set before him endured
the cross, despising the shame. and is
set down at the right hand of the
throne of God"
The object of the speaker was to
show that troubles are an inherent
part of life, and in the great plan of
things for humanizing man and fitting
him by enlarging his sympathies for a
higher and nobler life than would be
possible otherwise.
Life is school," Mr.. Strong said,
and there are pleasant teachers, but
also sad and solemn teachers; troubles,
Universities and failures. If Joy teaches
us many things, suffering teaches us
more Further he said: 1T would
seem that there is a large place for
sorrow in life; that suffering takes the
raw material of life and turns it into
something else.
THE valuables of the physical world
are not to be had without effort and
toll; gold is not drawn from the earth
by the sunshine nor iron secured till
the ore has been through the crushing
mill; so character, must figuratively
speaking, be hammered out on the an
vii. / would not have you, like the
Egyptians, bring a death head to every
feast, but neither would have YOU
forget that suffering exists. 1t is a
foolish philosophy that teaches only the
superficial side of life, for suffering
and trouble are related to human life
by many a tie.
Wherever in life you find a great
capacity for pain and suffering there
You will find the highest type of SEN
sitlVeness. There are some natures sc
imbruted that nothing short of a cy.
clone will move them. l read an ar
ticle from a paper sometime ago in
which person said that for ten years
she had suffered no pain or ache, nc
fear or apprehension. Sad, indeed. II
Is when one has lost the power &c
weep with those who weep and re.
joice with those who rejoice.
The laws of heredity have beer
criticized, said the speaker, "by mer
who say that IL is as though mer
were allowed to drop hot stones on the
head of innocent children when God
and nature pass on to children the
passions of their parents" but, >
continued Mr.. Strong, "the law of he.
redity is Gods automatic de.
vice. The sins of the parents
shall rest upon the children
for three and four generations
but the good things shall last foi
thousands OF generations. But for the
punishment OF an infraction OF this

speaker. would there be 10 prevent
