The Marathon Reunion.

The history of this association is so well known
TO this county that merely brief statement will
recall many "reminiscences. In 1854 $3.50, Prof
Bailey organized and taught a successful school
in the northwestern part of this (Hardeman)
county. The pupils of that famous school of some
nearly half a century ago have met in annual
reunion since 1892, this making the 1lth year OF
meeting, This was and all future reunions will be
at Needams school house in the 4th district.
AS usual, the roll was called at the opening of
the exercises by the preceptor, only fourteen
answering. 1t is true that many more than that
living but those not answering reside too far
from feebleness or sickness incapacitaed to
be present This indeed very impressive
ceremony to see the aged instructor marking the
absent ones and noting the cause.
Those present were as interested in the work Of
the day as if it were genuine old time school ex-
hibition.
The program was a varied one consisting of
music by the Whiteville choir, numerous ad-
dresses by speaker. present, and recitations by
several little girls and last but most interesting of
all was the relating of incidents at school by the
"old boys"
There were several timely talks made and some
who have been in attendance upon all these meet
ing said that this the most pleasant of them
all.
There was fitting crowd in attendance and
when the hour for dinner came the good people of
that part of the country demonstrated their hos
pitaity by spreading feast that would for tooth
someness and wholsOmneSs, pale TO insignifcance
King Edwards coronation spread.
But whatever in true praise may be said of the
pleasure of the occasion of the hospitality of the
people, the good behavior of all present. the model
day and model place for picnic, yet it should be
borne in mind that all interest centered in the
venerable Mr.. Bailey and his venerable pupils. 1t
seemed to be the delight and aim of everybody par
ticipating in any manner in the exercises to do
something to contribute to their pleasure welfare
and godspeed.
The most touching. pathetic scene of the day was
the parting. The choir and entire congregation
sang "God be with you till meet again." Up
to this time it seems that nothing but the pleasure
of the occasion and fond memories of the happy
school days had occupied the mind, but
when the erstwhile pupils with unsteady step
came forward TO clasp the hand in parting they
felt not the bouysnt boyish grasp of years long
gone and the dimming sight saw quivering lips
utter-alasl foTsooth, lingering and perhaps with
some a last 'good bye" 1t indeed pathetic.
Scarcely a heart did not well up tear. Thus
tOuehingly ended the long to- aforementioned 18th
ANIMAL reunion of Marathon. tt

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED

lain's Collie, Cholera. and Diar-

DIR. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent
physician of Panama, Columbia, in
recent letter states: "Last March
l had as a patient a young lany 16
years of age, who had very bad
attack of dysentery. Everything l
prescribed for her proved ineffect-
ual and she was growing worse ev-
cry hour. Her parents were sure
she would die. She had become so
weak she couldn't turn over in bed.
What to do at this critical moment
was study for me, but l thought
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera d
Diarrhoea Remedy and as last re-
sort prescribed it. The most won
derful result was effected. Within
eight hours she was feeling better,
inside of three days she was upon
her feet, and at the end of one week
she was entirely well. For sale by

Avoidable absences are another
grievance to the teacher. Each day
has its work, and neglected day
brings its penalty some time or
other.
Our children are the most pre-
cious things that God has given US,
given us as blessings and they
ought to be the dearest, most cared
for of our treasures. Yet many
children are allowed to do pretty
much as they please, to study if
they please, to stay away from
school if they please, and yet God
will hold each parent responsible
for each child.
You cannot live to yourself.
The way in which you manage
your child has its influence upon
other parents. As Emerson says:
"Nor knowest thou what argument
Thy life to thy neighbours creed has lent"
AS the mothers influence is the
one that is the most powerful, it
behooves her that she think over
her duties to her children as school
children. GA woman's work is
never done; a mans work is from
sun to sun"-so it is with the moth
or, who must see that the children
have their breakfast in time-that
they are started off to school in
time with books, caps and satchels
ready. 1t devolves upon her that
the lessons>that are TO be studied at
home are properly prepared, and
not too much help given in their
preparation. 1t is also her duty to
uphold the teacher in doing his
duty faithfully, conscientiously and
without fear or favor; and not to be
quick to take offense when her child
has been lazy or disobedient and the
teacher has to punish him.
1t is also her duty to her child to
give him as much time at school as
is possible, and not permit every
trivial excuse to keep him at home,
trying to impress upon the father
the need of educatio lal advant ages
for her child that he may be better
qualified for the battle of life. There
Is no calling in life in which an ed
ucation is not beneficial. Apart
from a man being able to earn mere
money when he is educated, he be-
comes a better man in other re-
spects.
In these days, an uneducated
man has not the same chance that
he had years ago. Education is too
general and your child has right
to every advantage that you can
give him. Without an education
he is crippled in the race of life,
and will always feel the effects. |
