A Card to the Public.

At the election held on Tues.
day, the 9th inst, some miscre-
ant intending thereby to belittle
my candidacy, voted for Henry
Rabbit. This forcibly brought
to my mind two adages, viz:
There is no disputing about
tastes, and the dog will return
to his vomit, the hog to his wal
low.
My purpose of taking notice of
this intended indignity, is to say
to the sneaking coward in the
open what I think of him. It ia
this: That any white man who
would vote for a negro, cannot
with me. | do not
want his vote under any cireum-
stances. Let him come out in
the open and insult nae as I have
done by the publication hereof.

It is suggested by an influen.

This would no doubt show the

THE TEACHER.

September is here and hun
dreds of thousands of children
have had their extra supply
clothes made and have beer
given their pencil and tablet anc
are now falling in line for school,
Their parents have made spe.
cial sacrifices for their children
and are doing their best to en-.
courage them at the very begin.
ming of life, Each child was
told no doubt before entering,
to study hard"
What must be said to the
teacher who has chosen this no
BILE work and upon whom such a
great responsibility rests? First
of all realize what a noble voca-
ton you have chosen. If you
have chosen this work simply
for a ''pass-time, give it up.
Your service as a teacher will
be appreciated in proportion to
the value and appreciation you
place upon your work. Those
who never do any more than
they get paid for, never get paid
for any more than they do"
You should be thoroughly con-
secrated to your work. Never
be satisfied with your present
attainment. Strive each day for
the highest and noblest. You
as a teacher can glorify your
Maker in the class room and on
the play ground. You should be
thoroughly consecrated to your
work to day, every day. Yes
terday with its past glories and
failures has passed, to day with
its golden opportunities is upon
you: buy up these opportunities
by really serving.
CONCENTRATION s h 0 Id
also be one of your strong char
acteristics. As a teacher you
will never accomplish anything
if you do not have something
definite in view. You should
concentrate every effort to
draw out the child and cause
him to develop every faculty
with which God has endowed
and when you do this you
will realize your obligation as a
teaaier. For this reason you
should CONSECRATE your life
10 this work and CONCEN-
TRATE your energies to this
noble work and in this way you
will render to your State, to your
and to your Maker an in
sstimable service.
