Last Friday evei.mg at 8.30 o'clock the session of 1907-08 of our graded school came to a close. From many standpoints lt has been a hard term, but .as a whole it has been very suc cessful. The teachers have perform ed1 their duties faithfully and con scientiously. The children, too, have responded readily to the variour calls that have been made to them; so that, with all their hindrances, some good work has been done. Our school is one of the best equipped in the county, aud the only thing we need now is for our patrons to take a lit tle more lively interest in its affairs. Let's take that Interest in it and .the teachers that will allow us to say "our school" and not "the school." The teachers must have the hearty co-operation and support of the pa trons else the children soon lose in terest, and when that is done the work of the teacher becomes an un welcome burden. At the opening of the exercises Prof. Kennedy gave a brief, but com prehensive review of the year's work, and stated the reasons why it was deemed best not to attempt anything in the nature of an elaborate com mencement this year. Instead of the usual exercises by the pupils a dis tinguished speaker was invited to ad dress them upon some timely topic. Wi.de C. Hughs, Esq., in a few well chosen and appropriate remarks, embracing some timely thoughts on "Opportunity," Introduced the Hon. C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, as the orator of the evening. Mr. Fea therstone said that he was so accus tomed to speaking on prohibit lon that he was afraid he would drift lhto that before he had finished. His theme was "Government-Individ ual, Family, State." He discussed it in a masterly manner, showing that government begins in the individual, and that since the State is made up of individuals, its government can be no higher than the ideals of Its citi zens. Then he urged the necessity of sentimentality in order to inspire high ideals, and pointed out the fact that on account of the growing disre gard of the Bible as a text book and one of the pieces of standard litera ture In the home, the home govern ment ls growing more lax every day. With the Bible as a guide good citi zenship and Christian people would be a natural result because In lt can be found literature to flt every condi tion. He lamented the fact that on ac count of the conditions statod we, as a nation, have lost sight of the lofty sentiments that, should characterize us, and have become a nation of money grabbers and coinmerclaltstB. In concluding he Impressed the fact that he would not have us be Idealists, but that we could use ideal principles for practical purposes and still retain our Identity. After the address, in the absence of Mr. Herndon, the chairman of the board, on account of sickness, Prof. Kennedy delivered the diplomas to the two graduates, Misses Lola Katif niann and Ethel Angel. The records made by these young ladies are very creditable In all respects, but espe cially lu attendance. Miss Kaufmann has a record of six years without a single absence or tardy mark, and Miss Angel's is almost as good. With the delivery of the diplomas the exercises were announced closed, aud the large audience that had gathered In the court room went away feeling that the speaker had told them something worth remem bering and with a greater determi nation to increase the number of the next graduating class If possible. Bad Attack of Dysentery Cured. "An honored citizen of this town was suffering from a severe attack I of dysentery. He told a friend lt he could obtain a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy he felt confident of being cured, he having used this remedy In the West. He was told that I kept li In stock and lost no time In obtaining it, and was promptly cured," says M. J. Leach, druggist, of Wolcott, Vt. For sale by Ji W. Bell, Walhalla, and W. J. Lunney, Seneca.
