sion Here Is Expected,

At $50 O'Clock tomorrow morning the
clang of the school bell will sound the
death knell of the summer vacation.
Books will be gathered up from nusty,
obscure corners, and 1900 boys and
girls will move with elasticity step to
greet their dear teacher.
Confinement in Port Arthur bomb
proof would be preferable to the aver
age boy, but he cannot sidestep the
situation and must face the music, dis
cordant though it be.
OF course all the. dear little girls will
go cheerfully
But they are going, nevertheless, and
the fall term of the Americas schools
will open under the brightest auspices
in years.
For the past ten days Prof. A. G.
Miller, principal of the city schools,
has been assigning pupils and issuing
cards of admission. And while hun
dreds of pupils have thus been regis
tered, others will come today and swell
the great total of pupils.
It would not be surprising if the IF
teen hundred mark in attendance was
passed IN the city schools within the
next month.
During the past session the attend
ance went we'll over ], 400.
But since that time many people
have come to Americas to reside, and
will serd their children to the schools.
Othels from distance will come here
as pupils, as non-residente are admit
ted to the schools upon the pay ment oil
admission price.
Altogether the outlook for a pros
porous and busy session is indeed very

That there are elections and cleo

and county elections, Americus is bill

city clerk, police commissioner and
others in the city government are to be
elected this fall, and while there are no
announced candidates as yet, of course,
many of the astute "noys" are quietly
looking after their fences. The CITY
primary will be held early in Decem

libical pot will be "bilin" over.

POWER FOR GOOD HAS BEEN IN
CREASED.
In the first place. does it seem tc
you that your fellow-citizens. taken
as whole, are better contented than
their ancestors, or surer of tomor-
row?
I do not ask if they would be right
to be so, but if they are. To see them
as they live. it appears TO me that the
majority are discontented with their
lot, before all being preoccupied with
their material needs, and under the
obsession of cares for the morrow.
Never has the question of food and
shelter been sharper or more absorb
ing than now, when we are better
nourished. better clothed and better
lodged than ever before.
He deceives himself who believes
that the question of, What shall we
eat, what shall we drink. and with
what shall We be clothed?" is present
ed to the poor aIone-those that are
exposed TO anguish of tomorrow with
out bread or shelter. With those it
is natural, and yet it is just there that
it presents itself most simply.
One must go to the homes of those
who have begun TO enjoy a little
to learn how much the
satisfaction with what they have is
troubled by regret for that which
they lack. And, if you would see the .
anxiety of the material future in all
its luxurious development, observe
the people OF Comfortable means"
and above all, the rich.
The women who have but one dress
are not those who ask oftenest what
they shall wear, nor is it those reduc-
ed to the strictest economy who ask
he most frequently what they shall
Fat tomorrow. By a necessary conse-
luence of the law that needs increase
~ their satisfactions: THE MORE
GOODS A MAN HAS THE MORE I,
he THINKS HE NEEDS. /,
The more he is assured of tomor- /
ow' according to the view of ordi-
AIRY good sense. the more he con-
erns himself with the question of
ow he shall live, he and his child
en- how he will establish them and
heir descendants. Nothing can por- ,,
'ay the fears of a man of means /
heir number, their reach and their {
sfined shades.

WAKE ME A SONG.

out of the silences wake me a song
Beautiful. sad and soft and low;
Let the lOveliest music sound along
And wing each note with a wall OF
woe,
Dim and drear~
As hopes last tear,
out of the silence wake me hymn
Whose sounds are like shadows soft
and dim.
out of the stiffness in your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping
there
Wake me a song. thou child of art!
The song of a hope In last despair,
Dark and low.
A chant of woe,
out of the stiffness, tone by tone,
Cold as a snowflake. low as Il moan.
out of the darkness flash me n song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep as lone star sweeps
along
The mystical shadows OF the night.
Sing it sweet
Where nothing is drear or dark or
dim,
And earth song scars into heavenly
hymn.
