A WORD OF APPRECIATION


AS Chairman of the Teams Com
mittee in the Chamber of Commerce
drive, | desire publicly to thank. the
loyal and devoted citizens of Column
bus and Lowndes County for their
untiring energy and unbounded
enthusiasm.
The success of the campaign was
made possible by the cordial response
and splendid cooperation and hard
team work of the team workers.
One thing is significant of the fine
spirit that is permeating our people
Not single man failed to respont
when he was called to the service oil
his community.
The community owes debt Of
gratitude to the sevonty-two men whit
labored for the success of the move
ment, and the teams in turn are very
grateful to the public-spirited ans
generous-hearted people for their cor
dial response.

efficiency and promote their service
to the people.
For the high school must ever re-
main the ultimate school for the larger
part Of the youth Of the state, and
thus in real sense it constitutes the
peoples college.
To the people of Columbus, who
have honored us with their presence
on this occasion, l wish to say that
am glad that you are here. This adj
ministration covets a close relation
ship with Columbus as our home town.
We need your cooperation and assist
ance, and we hope that you will par
ticipate as fully as possible in the life
and aspirations of the college. We
want you to feel more than any other
community in the state that the col
lege is your very own, and to have
just cause for pride in it.

TAKING THINGS SERIOUSLY


We have always accused the British
Of taking things too seriously; but
this is not the case in sports, which
they insist upon regarding as purely
games" The British confess their
amazement that the people Of the
United States should take their sports
so seriously, and that the Olympic
l"Games have become an organized,
arduous and desperately solemn affair
with the Americans. They admit the
superiority of the athletes who have
won so many honors for the United
States, but confess that it will be diff
ficult for them to induce their own
athletes to make such business . Of
the games. Other nations make the
same comment upon the American
contestants, who, they declare, seem
to think their very life depends upon
winning.
But if thing is worth doing at all
it is worth doing well. And one can't
do anything worth while unless one
does it seriously. Any genuine en-
thusiasm must necessarily be serious;
and it is enthusiasm that has built up
the United States of America into
great world power.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-09-26

else there is no justice. AS a man
sows, 50 shall he reap; therefore. the
reverse must also be true, that as a
man reaps today so he must have
sown yesterday There is no other
reasonable conclusion to be reached
if one bases his conclusions on the
operation Of the laws of cause and
effect. For anyone to spend precious
time grumbling at having to reap the
tares he has sown, instead of going to
work and sowing good seed in the
same ground from which he reaps his
tares, is the limit Of folly.

WORK AND HAPPINESS.

Work. How does this word ap-
peal to you? Do you face the mon
ster CD and say Il can knock you
out in the first round" or do you cover
your face and sneak away only to find
the same gentleman confronting you
at every turn? The greatest pleasure
in life is derived from Work. With
who has through Work, been able to
pay a mortgage, build a comfortable
home. educate his children, certainly
can always say Il enjoy the fruits OF
my work" The same applies to all.
The doctor having denied himself rest
that he may care for the sick, the
lawyer pondering far in the night that
justice may be shown his client, the
mother finishing the last garment in
the basket of mending, all derive the
same pleasure from Work. Happiness
is a by-product of Work. R. l.. Steven
son once said Happiness is in travel
ing, not arriving, and to all of us that
travelling is Work. Do not look for
happiness among the very rich who
have nothing to do. You will not find
it there. Go to some home where the
father labors all day to supply the
necessities and few luXuries, where
the mother aids in every possible way,
where the children, from mere babies
assist each other and do not know
what selfshness is, and there you will
find Happiness.

In that happy moment Mrs. Board
man felt something melting in her
breast, felt herself admitted into q
sacred relationship with birds, and
this true bird lover.
That evening she wrote to Norris.
Next day, coming home on. flying
visit, Mr.. Boardman brought an as
founding revelation. "Bromly, dropped
in to see me yesterday and l was
telling him about our new country
home. He asked me if we weren't
near Miss Sarah Sackett, the bird
woman. He says she's a famous au-
thority. 1t seems she has kept most
valuable record of her observations of
the birds in this locality for the past
twenty years. BrOmly says Professor
Briggs spent whole SUMMER here
while preparing his last book---the one
brought out to you. He came pur-
posely to consult her accurate data
Stunned, and crimson with mortif-
cation, Mrs. Boardman's eyes turned
invOluntarily toward the wall.
Her husband scowled in the same
direction. "Beastly shame for Norris
to build that WALL" he burst out ir-
ritably.
Il ordered it," Mrs. BOardman said
curtly, biting her lips in angry recol-
lection. She might have told u.s."
she famed out suddenly. She let me
lug my books over there, and read to
her, and never let on that she knew
thing about them.'
"Secretive,' shrugged her husband.
At first Mrs. BOardman ranked un-
der the feeling that Miss Sarah had
been unfair. and that their friendly
pact was a mOckery. But after
squarely facing the whole situation,
she admitted that her attitude had not
encouraged Miss Sarah's confidence.
Il am glad that l sent for Norris

with rush of thankfulness. when

RUskIN ON LlNcOLN'S STATUE.

What strange changes take place in
the world. Not long ago statue of
Abraham Lincoln was unveiled in Lon
don with ceremonies, during which
fulsome praise was heaped upon our
great Lincoln. Lincoln died April Is,
1865. A few weeks after his death,
John Ruskin, one of the greatest lit
erary men of his time, wrote a letter
to the Pail Mall Gazette" from
which we quote the following:
Il mourn for Mr.. Lincoln, as man
should mourn the fate of man, when
it is sudden and supreme. l hate
regicide as l do populicide-deeply if
frenzied; more deeply if deliberate.
But my wonder is in remembering
the tone of the English people and
press respecting this man during life;
and of comparing it with their sayings
of him in his death. They caricatured
and reviled him when his cause was
poised in deadly balance-when their
praise would have been grateful to
him, and their help priceless. They
now declare his cause to have been
lust, when it needs no aid; and his
purposes to have been noble, when
all human thought of them have be-
come vanity, and will never so much
as mix their murmurS in his ears with
the sentence of the Tribunal which has
summoned him to receive a juster
praise and tenderer blame than ours.

TWO SIDES OF A GARDEN WALL

abruptly.

she said with bitter determination.
Norris turned to look thoughtfully
at the newly built home on the rise
of the hill, then walked across the
terrace, where they were standing, tc
survey a wooded space beyond it.
"This would be an equally good site
for your formal garden, Mrs. Board
