ing tobacco and a leather watch
chain was found in his clothes. The
unknown person person came to
his death by being run over by a
west-b bound passenger train, on the
night of August, 18th. Coroner
Harpole, of Augusta, appointed
Mayor Raney to act as coroner in
his stead. An inquest was held
the morning of the 18th. The jur-
OrS rendered a verdict that the
cause of the mans death was as
above stated. Some were of the
opinion that the man had been
murdered and laid upon the track
while others thought that he was
riding underneath the cars, on the
rods, and fell off same. The car
wheels cut his head into scattering
his brains along the track. The
body was also cut into just below
the abdomen and one leg was cut
off above the knee and the other
just below the knee. Twas ter
rible sight to see, his flesh and

One of our subscribers took us
to task this week for failing, as he
remarked, to publish all that hap
pened. 1t was fortunate for this
particular Individual that discre-
ton occasionally demands the ON
nilsson of unpleasant items.
Should we publish all that is told
to us we would be with the angels
in about twenty minutes after our
papers were mailed. We try to
print all items that are news, or
that will encourage, help or cheer
any of our citizens along life's
rugged road. We all doubtless
would enjoy reading "all the news"
when it's about the other fellow,
but our policy is to turn over to
the gossips the spreading of scand-
ais that only leave sorrows in their
trail.

Many woman goes out shop
ping dressed in silk and enveloped
in perfume whose hard working
husband hasn't had a new suit of
clothes or a decent meal in five
years. Yes, and many a loafer
stands on the street with a sinking
pipe in his face, his tank full Of
"booze" and his mouth full of pro-
family, whose Woodworking wife
hasn't had new dress or a kind
word since she was married.

The quiet fidelity with which a
woman will dishwash her life a.
way for her husband and children
is a marvel of endurance. Here is
the servitude of women heaviest,
no sooner is her work done than it
requires to be done again. Men
take jobs, work on them, finish
them, and they are over for good
and all. The prospect of ending
them and drawing pay for the Ia
Dor is alluring, but no such allure
ments are held out for the wife.
She washes Monday after Monday
the same garments until there is
nothing more of them to wash !;
then they are replaced by others of
new material just like them, and
the rubbing and wringing goes on
forever. She mends the stockings
with tireless fidelity, the same
holes meeting her gaze week after
week, for if there is a "darned"
place in sock che" invariably
puts his irrepressible toe through
it. Every morning the rooms are
put in order, only to be in the
widest disorder by the time night
falls. There are no jobs, each one
different, no terms, no pay. The
same socks, the same washing, the
same room every time.

Don't teach your children that it
is a shame to wear worn and patch

There are two little words, sim
pie enough in themselves, that in
troduce untold trouble in the
world and are responsible for
more gossip, scandle and harm
than, any two words in the Eng

are nothing more than, "They say"
They have done more to ruin the
regulations than all other things.
If you never quote what "they say"
you may be quite certain you are

about the humorous answers made by
some OF her pupils. Here Is the an
swer Of bright boy In the geography

In another instance the teacher had

promptly replied: "A hole"

SERMON AT B. Y.C,
Prof. Chamberlain Delivers Baccalaureate Ser
mon Sunday Evening to Large Crowd.

Prof. Chamberlain occupied per-
hapS three.quarters Of an hour in read.
ing very carefully prepared address
devoted to a discussion of our Deepen
dence on each other. He set forth
that none can be or do good without
benettting the whole Of society and in
doing wrong we naturally affect socie-
ty adversely. A knowledge Of the
unity existing In all things enables us
to see the uselessness OF selfish life,
and II we can but understand our
selves, especially in our relation to 9TH
ers, we will live the life Of unity natur-
ally. AS Prof. Chamberlain puts it,
"selfshness feeds upon itself" He
also expressed the belief that we are
too easily satisfied with ourselves
Christ tried TO teach the possibilities
and we should not rest short Of attain
ing most of those possibilities The
tendency in this age is to measure life
by dollars. and this is one of the sad
mistakes, mot to love our fellows
is folly, for the spirit Of God will come
| only to those who know how TO love
Others"

rendered an anthem, and Pres Park.
