A Card Of Thanks

Our language cannot express the
appreciation to our neighbors for
the kind hands during the illness
of our little darling Atherlee. God
bless those hands which placed
those beautiful flowers around the
little darling body in her little cas-
ket, and the song that was sang SO
softly over her body will remain
fresh in our memory. Little Ather-
lee was i'll for some three weeks.

Prof. H. A. Dean Dead.

Editor Vidette;-
Just in receipt of a telegram con-
veying the news of the death of
Prof H A Dean, which occurred
this morning May 20.
He died in Uvalde, Texas, where
he has made his home the past
three years but his thoughts and
heart remained in this section Of
the country.where his great eff
forts in his cherished field of en-
deavor and the best years of his
life had been spent.
Many of the men who are truly
great, many who have been real
BLESSINGS to the age in which they
lived, have been men whose worth
could be fully appreciated only
when years have passed and the
results of their labors have been
proven.
Such a man was II A Dean.
First of all. he was Mana great
big man, large of heart, large of
purpose, large in love in every
relation of life. Prof Deans most
distinguished characteristic was a
chivalric sense of honor. Far re-
moved from any suggestion of the
quixotic, he was of tha. high
minded type with punctilious re-
gard for the right and strict con.
formity to duty that marks the
truly knightly character.
The example of his life is ono
that may we'll be cited for enula
tion Ia aaps whose Integrity ai
trusted and whose high charactei
made him model for the young
He had a warm place in the heart
and in the esteem of the thous
ands of young people throughou
the Southern states and his mem
ory will be long and lovingly pre-
served iu those traditions whicl
sire hands down to son, and hi
death will cause universal sorrow
As teacher, the South has no
produced a greater one. He wa
pre-eminent. Like Saul of Tar
sus he had avision, vision of tht
needs of the educational system 0
his day; and his character as /;
man and his unswerving devotion
to duty brought great change il
our educational system. The Soutl
is not only reaping the rewards 0
Prot Deans labor in this respect
but in every line of endeavor re
sulting from pupils to whom wer'
impaired a. poi ton, at least, of hi
great characteristics.
We frequently speak of the New
South. Could we have few neI
such as H A Dean, we would no
only have a New South but New
Nation. Truly good, truly great
his work shall live after him, ant
his memory shall grow brighte
and brighter with time in TIL
hearts of his devoted followers.
