have improved our fertile valleys
and fields, shall we cultivate the
mind. Success has crowned the
efforts of Southern zeal and hero
ism. Schools and universities have
been built n d young men and
young women are being trained tor
the various pursuits of life. The
standards of to-day require not
only preparatory education but
the advantages of a university
course, and the Southern youth is
preparing himself to stand at the
head, to uphold the dignity, the
glory and the traditions of Dixie.
Seid Waddell spoke on "Charles
Dickens, a very broad and resource
full subject. He prefaced his re-
marks by saying that it would be
very hard to do justice to the au-
thor. Mankind admired Dickens
because he could draw tears and
smiles. He wrought material which
brought order out of chaos and i'm
proved the conditions and the NOR
ais of the people. His first work,
"Sketches by Boz" was written
while a young m a n, exhibiting
wonderful descriptive power and
marvellous imagination. Dickens
takes US up to the belfry above the
light. His ''Pickwick Papers is
feast of humor. Dickens exposed
the crimes of mad houses and pris-
ons and made public the abuse OF
pedagogy. With single stroke of
the pen he reformed the entire So
cial structure of England. OF Dick
ems creations we cannot tear away
the impressions made upon our
memories.
Van Latimer spoke on "The New
Prosperity" A man with match
can do what Maximus of Rome
with all his power could not ac-
complish in lifetime. In all his
tory no such progress has marked
the age of mankind as the domain
of American industry and manu-
facture. The results accomplished
by the aid of farm machinery are
manifold in comparison with those
ever before achieved and the task
is proportionately easy. The world
of commerce since the days of Robt.
Fulton has made rapid and marvel
Gus strides in development. Electric
science is snpplanting the uses of
steam, and the motive power of the
future will be electricity. Our crops

Grady Palmer treated the subject
of sEnvironment," very popular
theme. He began with "Sister says
never think you have environment
until you are in love; mother says
60 ahead aud make your own en-
vironment." A man is not the pro-
duct of his environment A namby
pamby fellow is one who idles away
his days. He is not the outcome of
environment. Strong souls reject
or accept the influences of environ
-ment. After all we are IN the hands

lily. Make an illustration of horses

luton of man. Man is the maker

The last of the commencement
exercises of the Union City Train
ing School, embracing medal con-
test in oratory by four graduates
and two other students and piano
recital by Miss Killough's class,
took place at Reynolds Opera
House last Thursday night.
On, the stage were the trustees,
Seid Waddell, w. H. Swiggart, L.
Parks, ]. f. Howard, w. L. Alex
lder. the principal, G. M. Mathis,
hid F. c. Aydelott, of the faculty.
The weather was pleasant and the
seats in the opera house were all
filled. The stage was decorated
with plants and flowers and school
colors wi th streamers stretched
from the sides to center over a
large electric device displaying the
initials and colors of the Union
City Training School. The scene
was a very pleasant foretaste OF
the program to follow:
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. E. L. Watson. The
speeches and the music were inter.
linked.
Speaking of the music it might
as well be said in behalf of Miss
Killough that this is her first year
as teacher in Union City and that
her pupils are practically all begin
ners, at least they are all juveniles,
and for these reasons the numbers
in that department were intended
principally as an illustration of the
progress made IN music. 1t is to
be noted that in the class consld-
erable amount of skill was exhibit.

the value of tempos and express

chalk composition. In the first place
the selection was we'll timed-it was
good piano subject. But while the
young lady took advantage Of this
she also proved her right to the do
main of music. Musicians and crit.
les have a great deal to say about
technic. What it takes to cover the
ground would be hard indeed to de-
scribe, but when the tones are tull
of rythm and melody and tinkling
chimes, when the heart beats in
unison to the grand themes depict
ing human emotions then there is
music, and when Miss Killough
plays the soul begins to nudge.
She is gifted we can say and be-
lieve she is able to instruct. Those
of the class taking part were Misses
Ruth and Clara Parks, Nellie Dris-
kill, Eula Johnson, Mildred Stubbs,
Inez Roper, Georgia Usry.
Of the contestants in the medal
contest James Crockett appeared
first in an Grafton entitled "The
Southern Youth. He spoke IN a
clear, distinct and forceful way OF
how the South was devastated by
the Civil War, of how she had risen,
Phenix like, from the RUNS in re-
storing the waste places. Among
the great responsibilities were her
schools, and these charges received
unsparing attention. They were
builded strong and secure and to-
day it is asked shall we take adj
vantage of these opportunities. We

Clarence Williams discussed the
subject of Perseverance" Our
achievements and victories are the
effects of perseverance. We put in
motion our machinery and harness
the iron steeds and reap the wealth
of Rockefeller and Gould. We at
tain the wealth of mind by perse-
verance. Untiring perseverance has
marked the progress of American
life. Webster could not declaim
before his own school, but by the
aid of unyielding perseverance he
became one of the greatest Ameri-
can orators. Honest industry and
perseverance h a given us such
Americans as Benjamin Franklin,
the printer, and Abraham Lincoln,
the rail splitter.
Ernest Johnson presented the sub
iect, "Crucified but Risen South. "
1.-The monument to the Confeder
ate soldier symbolizes the cruclhx-
ion of the SOUTH" The hero1sm
of Southern spirit has given birth
to grander day. The new South
is the result of the process OF evo-
luton, beginning with the Missouri
Compromise. In the events which
followed the South sent back a
sound which shook the world. She
looked upon devastation and crucl-
fxion with undying faith in the
honor aud manhood which mani
tested itself in the progress OF the
new South. Education had awak-
ened fidelity to lofty ideas; section
alism was buried in common
cause in 1898, and to-day we are
united in singing Home, Sweet
Home" F"
The graduates were Chas. Crock

mer and Van Latimer. When the
speeches were closed the judges
were asked to retire. The Princi-
pal, Mr.. Mathis, addressed the
audience, stating that this was the
close of his second year with the
Union City Training School. Our
people had been blessed in a thou
sand ways through the agencies of
thrift and honesty of purpose. Our
homes were the monuments of cul-
eRre and refinement. Our schQq't

you and to achieve that which is

When Mr.. Mathis had concluded
Judge Lawson. as chairman of the
judges awarding the medals, ad-
dressed the class, saying that I'D
like to know what's left for me to
say" There ought to be six med
ais instead of one. The judges are
not intallible. They are just as
likely to be mistaken as someone
guessing. The speeches were all
exceptionally good. They were
we'll written and delivered. Judge
Lawson turned to each one and
dwelt upon the different themes they
had presented so eloquently, so
elaborately and forcibly, paying de-
served tribute in every case. The
Judge continued by saying that
oratory consisted of having some
thing to say and knowing how to
say it. A speaker must feel the
justice of his message and his soul
must be fred with the cause.
Judge Lawson, after compliment
ing everyone on their individual eff
forts, presented the medal to Grady
Palmer as the victor in the contest.

Imagination as a Cure

1t is conceded by scientists that
imagination has as much power as a
curative agent. A concrete example
occurred in the experience of Sir
Humphry Davy. A man suffering from
paralysis went to him to be treated
by electricity.
When the patient had seated him
self Davy. as preliminary, placed
a small glass thermometer beneath
his tongue to take his temperature.
The sick man thought that this was
the instrument for curing him and de-
clared that he felt it run through all
his system. Davy. curious to see
what lasting effect the imagination
would exert, did not undeceive the
man, but sent him away, telling him
to return daily to have the treatment
repeated
The man did as he was told, and
daily sat in chair with the end OF
little thermometer tucked beneath
his tongue. In few days the paraly'
sis was completely cured by the pa.
TENTS own imagination.

ones. She guards the little quails with
jealous care and appears to be very
proud of them. They, too, appear
