DESTINY OF THE
UNITED STATES
SUBJECT OF LECTURE AT FIRST
CHRISTIAN.
DIR. J. W. Lowber Takes an Opti-
m.stic View OF Future of the
Republic.
HISTORY POINTS OUT DANGER

An optimistic view Of the future
of our country was taken Sunday
might by DR.. J, w. Lowber, of
Austin. Tex, who delivered a brid-
liant lecture on THE Destiny OF the
American Republic" at the First
Christian church. Patriotism was
the keynote of his discourse and he
carried his audience back to the re-
publics of the Semetic and Aryan
races, quoting their historical splen-
dor. and finally showing their down
fan in a lack of patriotism and dis
regard for God and man.
Imminent dangers that might tend
towards the downfall Of the United
States were shown by Dr. Lowber,
lalthough ne analysed these and
pointed out immediate determinations
that will result in no danger to the
greatest nation that the sun has
ever shone down upon.
Dr. Lowber was preceded by Mrs.
Lowber, who gave historical read
ing OF human interest in the life of
President Abraham Lincoln. whore
he interfercd to save the life of a
loyal soldier, who had been con
demned to death for falling asleep
while on sentinel duty.
No more fitting time could have
been chosen by the lecturer for his
sermon, which was on the eve of the
Fourth OF July. In spite of the
threatening skies large congrcga-
ton was present to hear his in
valuable forecasts for the American
republic. At the beginning DIR. Low
Der said there ought to be more
Christian patriotism, and in speak
ing of patriotism he said the Ameri-
can people are becoming more pa
triotic every year There is dan
ger in not being PATRIOTS, and some
people. he said. do not realize the
danger We should watch and pray
and should not be wholly condemned
as our intentions may not always be
bad. There are two prime factors
backing patriotism-the Devil and
human nature. Progress and de
terioration are going on, some peO-
pie going In one direction and some
in another; but civilization, as a
whole. Is marching onward, despite
the tendencies. Civilization he COM
pared TO a steamship, sailing onward
ITO its destination. although some

ID. Is. 16 and 17th districts will

vote the Robinson resolution pro-
viding for an examinatin and in

district for the position and had no
oppositiona high and deserved

official. He is a man popular with
both the bar and people. Judge j.

We are looking forward to Easter
as our mission Sunday. "A good
time is expected. Let everybody
come.

we're in our cotton patch we would
need replanting with some good
seed. Some one said. Dads to
blame" Come, fes up, papa. and
stop the fuss.

we term the corn fever. There has
been more corn planted to date in
our district than the whole of last
season.
In passing along we see a few
fields covered with a coat of green
we call oats
We note with much regret that
our school is falling off some, but

busy.
We are sorry to note that Grand

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
EDITED BY PROF. CLAUDE BENNETT, CouN
TT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION.
TO THE TEACHERS.

The beat and the county contests
are on and you are expected to
have representatives in these con
tests. You owe it to yourself and
school to have your school repre-
sented.
know that the schools are not
as full as they have been; know
too that you do not always find il
easy to get your pupils to enter
these contests, but if you are tact
full and earnest in your efforts you
will be able to make a creditable
showing for your school. One
teacher said to me: There is no
use in our trying, the places are
always won by the larger schools.
She is in error. Some of the
prizes last year were carried off by
pupils from one teacher schools.
/ am asking the beat leader to
give me a written report Of them
and it is my purpose to keep on file
in my Office this record, which will
show what schools are represented
in these contests. AS a matter of
course you want the record to show
your school.
Very Respectfully,
CI4AUD BENNETT,
Supt. Education.
EDWARDS.
The teachers of this school are
Misses Myrtis Boren and Belle Ed
wards. Miss Boren is HilIman
College girl who came to US from
an adjoining county. and Miss
Belle is one of our own girls and
formerly student of Blue Noun
tain College. These young ladies
are doing splendid work and the
people seem to be appreciative as
they are making every effort to
hold their assistant teacher to the
end of the term. Each Friday
afternoon the children of the school
have debates, recitations, etc., and
the patrons are invited to be pres
ent on these occasions, and what is
more, they accept the invitations
and attend. This is a splendid
practice and one that other teachers
would do we'll to emulate.

A Golden Wedding.

lof Brookhaven, at their home last
Tuesday, March %, celebrated their
Golden Anniversary. Many
friends were present, and most Of
their immediate family. It was q
great day for all present.
Mr.. Glover is eighty-seven years
old, and Mrs. Glover seventy.
though this old, they have retained
fairly good health. They have
seven children, all of whom are
married. There are not many who
enjoy the blessing of so many
years, and fewer still who have liv-
ed in the marriage state for half a
century.
1t appealed to ones better self to
see those two old people. rich in
years and experience, sitting side
by side there on the porch of the
little house. their devoted children
gathered about and talking to
them. The close observer could
see tears come into the eyes of
those devoted and loving children,
and also in the eyes Of the no less
devoted and loving parents. These
children looked back through the
years when they were one happy
band together, when happy child
hood was theirs, and these were
tears Of joy that came to their eyes
from remembering days and pleas
ant times that they knew in child
hoods happy estate, when father
and mother were with them alway.
These old people have lived
long time, and it is to be hoped
that they will live much longer.
They have blessed others by living;
they have contributed to the vel
fare of their country; they have
reared family of heightened chill
dren; they have for all these many
years titled the soil for a liveli-
hood.
believe that every noble effort
is justly rewarded; believe in
the compensation that Emerson
talked of; I believe that every kind
act is sooner or later destined to
bring happiness and joy. These old
people have made many a noble
effort, have done many kind acts;
their reward now is a happy old
age. These dear old people have
lived in what some would call OBJ
csurity, yet they have lived in the
interest and to the welfare of their
country; they have meant as much
to society, equally as much, as if
they had occupied positions of great
honor.
Their years cannot be great
many more; their greatest work
has been done. They are now hap
py and comtorted, because they
know that they have done their
duty we'll. They are now living in
the evening of life. when the
shadows are falling toward the
east; they are remembering with

am sure all enjoyed the day.
There was no fault to find with the
dinner served. There was plenty
to eat, and the quality was of no
bad kind. Dinner was served in a
little tent made for the occasion.
| am sure it was the old time pure
and unophisticated Southern hospi-
tality displayed at the dinner table
and in the home that day.
Although they were not perhaps
presented with any gold presents,
there were some nice presents
given them, among others being
one from Mr.. j. w. McGrath. con-
sisting of two nice rocking chairs,
and for which they were very
grateful.
May their years yet be many, and
their happiness never decrease.
