A little statement presented to the patrons by Supt. B. L. Jones of the Laurens city schools, entitled "Pic tupe Fund Account," tells an inter esting story of what can be accom plished with a certain amount, (very large) of intelligent effort and per severance. This little statement tells in a nutshell the story of how the graded school building has been dec orated and adorned with pictures and sculpture more extensively and with more taste than possibly any other school in the State and possibly any other school of the same size any where. Mr. Jones has worked with un abated perseverance whenever the op portunity offered during the past year and, as the statement shows, his work has not been in vain. The balance sheet shows that a total profit of $701.59 was made from the lyceum course, concerts, art exhibits and in other Ways during the past year. To be more exact, $1,226.08 was the gross amount taken in, and $524.49 expend ed. making the profit above stated. Out of this fund Mr. Jones has sup plied the school with $67.05 worth of books, class room pictures worth over $71, -has planted trees on the grounds at an expense of nearly $17, has bought pictures for the auditorium to the amount of $281.13 and adorned the walls of the auditorium with friezes of great value and at a cost of $208. While this estimation is a money valuation only, the actual value to the- school as specimens or art and as a source of study can not be reckoned. The school building ,as it now is. should be a source of much pride to the people of Laurens, for there are few which can equal it. The credit is due more to Mr. Jones than to any one else. although the teachers and pupils have given great assistance, for he it is who does the actual work in getting up and advertising the ly ceum course and other attractions, enthuses the teachers and scholars with the desire to beautify the build ing and exercises such taste and ori ginality in the selections. It might not be out of place to state that Mit. Jones last year cleared an amount of money equal almost to half the salary which he received from tihe city. An intensely bas1iful young man was driving one evening with a young lady whom he had been calling on tor some time previous. The stillness of the evening and the beauty of the1 scene around him inspired his cour age, and sitting stiffly erect and with his face forward, he asked suddenly, "May I -kiss you ?" "Srel y," she coyly replied. ."Aw," 'he said, his face scarlet, and larruping his horses to a run-"aW,! I was only foolin'."-Lippincott's. Stella--Did you give the bride a shower?
