To the Veterans, Teachers and
Mothers: The happiest and saddest
time of my life was Lees birthday.
Happy because / could make SOL
dier happy; sad because l soon
would see no more the grand old
men "who wore the gray" What a
lovely sigh: to see the sweet little
flower girls scatter violets at the feet
of the soldiers as they received their
CROSSES of honor.
Some one has written for the Sun
shine Society these words:
Oh, my friend, if you think aught worth
saying,
That may cheer me along on life's way,
Do not lessen the good by delaying
If merit, commend me to-day.
How far better is one kind word spoken,
To fall full on the sentient ear,
Than profusion of tribute and token
To the dead who no longer can hearP
Have you praise9 Then defer not the
giving!
Have you wreathsp Place them now
on my head?
For one rosebud is more to me living
Than flower. strewn grave to me dead.
So, my friends, let us honor COL
Thompson now. Oconee owes him
great debt of gratitude. He has
been good man-in war and peace
80 let us honor him in his last days
by having his address \. hich he made
at Clemson College read on some
Friday afternoon IN every school in
Oconee county; then carefully placed
in the library, and that the school
send him letter of good cheer, and
that his fondest hopes will some day
be realized-that is that the women
of Oconee will organize chapter of
the u. d. g. to bestow crosses of
honor to the soldiers, and make their
last days the best days.
Trusting that the teachers will
carry out my wishes,
Sincerely,
A Daughter of Member of the 7th
S. @. Cavalry.
AS Superintendent of Education, l
endorse the above call. G. L. Craig.
So
We ask the teachers to get the
parents to subscribe to good papers
for their children to read. Take
your county papers, and be sure to
have religious paper in your family.

We congratulate Return library
association on the success of the
library. Here are few books good
for school Libraries "Boots and Sad
dies" written by the wife of Gen.
Custer; "Cadet Days at West Point"
"History of Stone Church." ga
Summer Hymnal."
-
John Trotwood Moore, lecturer
and novelist, has Southern maga-
zine, called "Trotwood Monthly"
which is very valuable to the South.
For small sum years subscription
and back numbers can be had.
Schools would do well to subscribe
to this magazine. MIR. Moore is a
fine delineator of negro character,
and his stories are as good as those
of Nelson Page. Children should
be taught to read of the "dear dead
days beyond recall"
