name OF the State. Through all its
existence. In years of vicissitude AZ

prosperity. they stood by II Loyalty
and saved it from dissolution at a
time when that threatened TO be It's
fate. And they have reioiced at its
wonderful prosperity in recent years,
due 20 the gracious generosity and
fine public spirit Of one OF our hon.
ored citizens, which so enlarged its
capacity and extended It's scope OF
usefulness that It could justly as wsll
a. proudly declare the time had come
for IL TO assume It's rishtful title,

This years commencement win

Musical Ideals.

Ideal, Webster says, is an magma
ry model or standard of perfection,
so, in thinking upon the meaning of
this, | find it a much broader subject
than / am able to handle, and will
try to touch on the points 1 found in
my search for something to make the
topic bit interesting.
Everything tends toward idealism
in it's sphere whether high or low.
Nothing is worth while unless we
set our ideal toward which to rise,
and this, to be a success to the indi-
vidual, must have been individually
conceived as no one can set height
for us to gain, and to us it means
only reward for something that we
have tried to produce that gave to
the receiver the same thrills and sem
sations we realized when we felt we
had accomplished just exactly the
point we were irving for.
When we go to thinking about it,
do you realize that we stand back in
mere babyhood, as it were, with an
ideal life, ideal home, and ideal old
age all set and finished in our minds,
looking ahead, leaving out the
knocks, climbs and struggles it takes
to gain the ideal.

is is, from instinct holds out before

Memory of Mrs. Edwards.

Mrs. Myrtle Edwards, wife OF
Crockett Edwards, died at her home
in the vicinity of Gibbs on the 23d
of February, 1922, aged "a years,
nine months and twenty days. Mrs.
Edwards was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Clark. She is survived also
by two sisters, two brothers and two
sweet little girls, Winnie D. and
Jenevia.
Death called for the soul of dear
Myrtle to join the angel throng in
the blessed hopeland. She so lived
that she was ready day or night.
When the soul of the sainted bother
winged it's flight, watchers at the
bedside stood and wondered why she
must go, and yet they understood
that she had kept the faith and fin
ished the fight and was called up
higher. She had earned the peace
and rest in the paradise of slumber-
land. Still we miss her-miss her
everywhere, every day. But we know
that she is in fairer land; the an
gels have beckoned her home.
1t is hard to understand, but let
us be earnest and hopeful, not living
for self alone, but living that we may
be reunited when the angels beckon
us home,-One who loved her.-N.

! sic-that wonderful something of
perfection. Music really hath charms
| to soothe the savage breast. Sir
| Samuel Baker, an African explorer of
note, sought to impress the natives
| by an exhibition of maneuvers of his
| troops. There was sham battle,
with volleys, cannonades and rockets.
The natives looked on with great in
terest and apparently no excitement.
Then Sir Samuel paraded his band
up and down the hill and the en-
thusiasm was tremendous. The ma
tives, with all to scant clothing, COM
menced to dance and howl with de-
light. Sir Samuel said 1.-THE ma
tives are passionately fond of music,
and believe the safest way to travel
in these wild countries would be to
play the cornet, if possible, without
ceasing, which would insure safe
passage. A London organ grinder
could march through Central Africa
followed by an admiring and enthusi-
astic crowd, who, if his tunes were
lively, would form dancing escort
of most untiring material. This
easily accounts for the remarkable
musical gifts of African descendants
in America.
