Said he was only a country lawyer, and would yield the balance of his time to the literary gentleman from the Univer sicy or oou&n uaronna, jrroi. a. u. Carson. Prof. Carson said as be was down for a two-hour speech he would ask Mrs. Fort to make some music while the audience could stand or shift seats in a few minutes intermission, after which they would be rested, and ready to listen to what he had to say. His friend, Mr.. Sharpe, had called him a literary gentleman. He was afraid he was too practical to own the title. He was here to speak on 4'The relationship of the community to the school.'' He drew a picture on the blackboard of the typical loafer who sits on boxes on the corners or. depot platforms or stands around with his hands in his pockets and a cigarette, always at a certain angle, in his mouth. For such as these was tho sign: "No loafing, no smoking" in the Railway stations and other public places. How could any one afford to loaf when the world is so full of work. Even if work were not a necessity, it is better to have something to do than be idle. Plant flowers, or a garden or farm, and watch it grow. We grow plants, but raise boys 2nd girls. Space forlids a further outline of Prof. Carson's address. He captured his audience and won the hearts of those he met. A song, "Good Night," was sung bv the school. Thus closed another year's work. Prof. Fulmer takes with him the good wishes of every one in and around Pelion. A. B. 0. Another Georgia Silling.
