GEO. o. CRoMER, IL. D.

The selection of Geo. B. Cromer,
LII. D., President Of Newberry College,
to deliver the address at the formal dedi-
cation of the Walhalla Graded School
building, was most happy one. In his
own personality is to be found liberal
exponent of the ideas which he incul-
Gates. In early youth he felt thirst for
knowledge, and in its pursuit he found
his greatest delight He graduated
from Newberry College in 1877, after
spending four and half years as stu
dent in this time honored institution
while located in Walhalla. After gradu-
alton he studied law and was admitted
to the bar before the Supreme Court in
1881. He located at Newberry for the
practice of his profession and soon be-
came recognized as lawyer of eminent
talent. For fifteen years he enjoyed a
lucrative practice, when he was elected
to the Presidency of his Alma Mater.
Notwithstanding the financial sacrifice
involved, after mature deliberation, he
responded to tho call of the Board of
Trustees from sense Of duty, and has
easily taken rank as one of the foremost
educators of our State. His success
demonstrates that time, patience and
perseverance, can accomplish all things.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part Of the body, butlit
ever good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their ap-
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of GREEN'S August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifes the blood and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at j. III. Darby's
drug store, Walhalla, or Stribling Drug
