Commencement colored Schools.

The branch of the city schools in
Union City for the colored people
was closed for the holidays with
commencement exercises last week.
The principal of the school, Prof.
w. R. Jarrett, informs us that the
term just closed was the best in the
way of scholarship and enrolment
that he has any knowledge of. 1t
was decidedly the best of his work
in Union City.
The enrolment was Alb, and the
scholarship average was the highest
of the school. There was on Mon
day afternoon an exhibition of wall
work, including maps and charts,
English, historical and mathematical
sketches in black and colors, all of
the most creditable character and
witnessed by many visitors, both
white and colored.
Monday night the primary grades
appeared in a cantata, known as the
Stars and Stripes" On Tuesday
night the intermediate department
presented temperance play, "Out
in the Streets.
On Wednesday the graduating
class appeared as follows: Geo.
Board, Annie McMacin, Ozeal Har-
per, Tennette Davenport, Hoyt Bras
field, Guy Williams, Katherine But
Ter, Minnie Temple, Gillespie Graf
ton. Orations were delivered by
four of the class: Hoyt Brasfield,
Geo. Board, Ozeal Harper, Annie Nc
Macin. This class graduated in the
tenth grade, which is the highest
grade of the school, and were pre-
sented with diplomas by the Presi-
dent of the Board of Education, DR..
C. w. Miles, Sr. Supt. A. C. Mute
delivered the annual address, which
was very appropriate and full of in
spiration to the pupils and the pa
irons and friends of the school,
Thursday was observed as field
lay with foot ball and races with |
noon dinner.
The faculty of the school for the |
past year was as follows:
Principal, w. R. Jarrett; assist
ants, Mrs. McMacin, Mrs. Jarrett,
Miss Wright, Miss Davenport, with
Mss Forte in charge of the domes-
ic science work.
The latter is from the celebrated
'uskegee Institute and her work is
10 less important to the school than
he other teachers, which have all
one fine work.

New Elks Home.

The building OF new home in Union
City by the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, which has been hanging
back for few months for want OF suf-
ficient support, was renewed last Mon
day night at largely attended meeting
with the most satisfactory results. The
Union City lodge, No. 679, which has
been quartered over E. ?. Grissom S
grocery store since moving from the
Taylor building, undertook to revive
the building boom with a whirlwind
campaign, and the result was as sur
prising as it was effective.
Bids were opened and discussed, and
q decision was finally reached that the
Doyle plans and contract were accepta-
BILE and that the contract be let at once
as soon as a $4,000 private subscription
is assured. Immediately following this
the members individually subscribed
over one hundred dollars more before
adjournment, and operations on the
new building are now in sight. The
contract price is 100, and this will
include building adjoining Mr.. Girls
SONS two stories with the entire upper |
floor space extending over Mr.. Grissom
store, all deliberately constructed with
apartments finished in hardwood. The
new home will soon adorn Washington

Two Golden DAYS.

There are two days of the week upon
which and about which [ never worry :,
two carefree days kept sacred!y free
from fear and apprehensi n. One of
these is Yesterday. Yesterday with
all its cares and frets, with all its pains
and aches, all it's faults, its mistakes
and b'unders. has passed beyond the
reach of my recall. | cannot undo an
act that ! wrought. / cannot unsay a
word that | said Yesterday. All that
it holds of life, of regret and sorrow,
is in the hand of the Mighty Love that
can bring sweet waters out of the
bitterest desert-the love that can
make the wrong things right, that can
turn weeping into laughter, that can
give beauty for ashes. the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness, joy
of the morning for the woe of night.
Save for the beautiful memories that
linger, sweet and tender, like the
perfume of roses, in the heart of the
day that is gone, | have nothing to do
with Yesterday.
And the other day | do not worry
about is Tomorrow.
Tomorrow. with all its possible ad-
versities, its burdens, its perils, its
large promise and poor performance,
its failures and mistakes. is as far
beyond the reach of my mastery as
it's dead sister-yesterday. It's sun
will rise in roseate splendor, or beyond
mass of weeping clouds. But it will
rise. Until then the same love and
patience that held yesterday. and holds
tomorrow, shine with tender promise
into the heart of today. I have no
possession in that unborn day of grace.
All else is in the infinite keeping of
that Infinite Love that holds for me
the treasure of yesterday, the love
that is higher than the stars, wider
than the sky, deeper than the sea-
There is left for myself, then. but one
day of the week, today Any man can
fight the battle of today Any woman
can carry the burden of just one day.

Breathe Hyomei Four Times a Day and

The pleasantest, most convenient
and most scientific method for the
treatment of catarrh is Hyomei.
Simply put few drops of dyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every
complete package and then breathe it's
air for a few minutes, four times a
day.
1t seems remarkable that SO simple
a way of treating catarrh will effect
such quick relief, but the most impor-

of air that enters the air passages of
the throat and head and goes into
the lungs is charged with healing
balsam that kills the germs and bacilli
of catarrh and soothes and allays all
irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show an Improvement and in short
time there should be no further trou-
bic from catarrh. Its action is rapid
and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.

FRIENDSHIPS.

May the law of Sallust always
remain engraved on the heart of
your king. Not with the help
of armies nor treasures do king
doms continue to flourish. but
with the help Of friends, and
these cannot be gained by force
nor bought with gold; they are
won by acts of kindness and by
faithfulnesS." And. moreover,
sit is necessary always to live
in unity with ones own; by con-
cord the smallest things become
great, whilst by discord the
greatest are reduced to nought."
Let him remember the example
Of M. Agrippa, W. thought
much of this precept which alone
may make of your royal master
a good brother, good comrade,
a good friend, good king. Next
to God let nothing be dearer to
him than friendships. Let him
always implicitly trust the man
he once found worthy of his
friendship and, according to the
advice of Seneca, let him prove
his friends in all things. but take
care first to prove himself also.
- Slow in contracting
friendships. let him be even
more slow in breaking them
asunder and. if possible, never
let him do so.-Petrarch.

Of air you've trif1e more

It cannot compare
To a block on the parlor f1oori
You may stand in the cold
Till a century DID,,
Not a blossom to speak Of comes,
But here in an hour
I'm all in flower
With mittens and dolls and drums.
I know so we'll
And daren't to tell
So much that I'm like to burst:
There's a mystery hung
Or a secret swung
On each branch from last to first.
How I'd love to shout
All my feelings out!
But daren't even cough;
And just the half
Of a great big laugh
Would shake all my candles of.
So have to hide
All the fun inside
Till I'm full as I can be.
Whatever folks say,

Odd Indian Belief.

The Indians living near the cele-
brated Mesa Verde in southwestern
Colorado hold in great awe the prehis-
toric dwellings of the Mancos valley,
which are by far the finest and best
preserved of any in the American
southwest. They will not believe that
it was Pueblo Indians, or any Indians
in fact, who. so long ago that the old
est traditions describe them as they
now are, carved these wonderful cities
out of the cliffs. They believe that
spirits built the cliff dwellings, and
that spirits still inhabit them. They
reverently call these spirits the little
people" For this reason it is difficult
to induce Indians to approach the cliff
dwellings,
