BETTER THAN MONEY.

Last week, young man, this coun-
ty, passed through town on his return
home from a Tennessee callege. where
he haJNbeen a student for the past
several months. He, modestly but
proudly, showed the editor n letter
given him by the President Of the
school upon his departure. Among
other things the President said:
81 have found him TO be young
man Of clean habits and good purposes.
He does not use tobacco nor drink
whiskey, and is energetic and faithful
in the discharge of his duties. He has
advanced rapidly il his studies, and
has shown that he is able To do things.

We gladly, I'VE were not asked TO do
so give this testimony to the public
hoping to impress upon theyomg men
who may read it the great value of "a
good name.
Such young men POSSESS that which
is worth far more than money Sup
pose this letter had said that "the
bearer is capable, industrious, honest
and intelligent, and has ample means
at his disposal, but he smokes. chews
and drinks, and some times CANDLES"
what would be the difference i'm the
effects upon firm wishing to employ
help? Would any body want him?
Scarcely. Money is not the biggest nor
strongest thing in the world by long
ways. A young man, who has money

MULTIPLE LIST POPULAR.

Ii is AN assured fact now that the
School Board of Education OF the
State will adopt a single list Of books
for the state next year. The Board
elected, at its meeting last week. two
single list members from the superin-
tendcnts, instead Of two heretofore who
were multiple list men. There is only
one multiple list man left on the
Board. Prof. Kent, and it is hard to
understand why he remains. to urge
his multiple list doctrine when the
people of the State rcpudiated the
same at the last election. He should
have been consistent, like Prof. Bowlcs.
who, when the state endorsed the
single list, refused To be a candidate
for reelection. because ne could not
endorse the single list system. Mr..
Glass staid on to the last as candi-
date for a membership on the Board
but was defeated because of his multi
pie list ideas, as ne should have been.

TO coast and from border to border.
A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only a parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro-
ject them into the mali order field, and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands Of
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly auspices.

It Is useless TO repeat the well worn
argument Of the mail order concerns
that they are selling goods enough

the regular channels Of trade to leave
their customers more money than
ever to devote 10 home enterprises

which cannot be touched upon within
