V V 9 *5fi' o. IN NEMORIAM, J B. SMOAK. In remembrance of our degr Ben. who was taken from us one year ago, but how we still miss him. It is heartrending to think that we will never see his dear face again, and never again hear his sweet voice. Ben was such a sweet, quiet and loving brother, and friends may think the wound is healed, but there iis none who know the sorrow deep within our hearts concealed. How sad to wander to the graveyard tfith flowers with tender care to strew on the grave of our dear brother. He has left a vacant place in our hearts that cannot be supplied by any other. We miss him so. but why should we miss him? To leave a home of sun shine and happiness to come back to this world of sin and sorrow’ would be wanting too much. There is al ways a bright side to the death of a Christian, and however sad it is for us to give up our lov^d ones, we know that life is short, and if we trust in our father he will take us to our loved ones gone on tefore. God, in His wisdom has recalled, The boon his love had given And though the body slumbers here. The soul is safe in heaven. In every flower which blooms so sweet and clear, We see the emblem clear, It tells us what we are and what we soon shall be. The lovWy roae ’ll fade away. The darling violets too. And all the bonnie flowers most dear Will wither at the hand of Time, Oh, watch with tender care each day The sweet and lovely flowers so dear, For, some day you will miss them, one by one, As flowers, we are passing, one b) one Away from this soil of earth. To bloom and to bloom again, ‘ In that lovely garden, far above. His Loving Mother and Sisters. Smoaks, May 30. ADAMS RUN RIPPLES. Adams Run. May 28.

PflltlfOYS ADDRESS The follotving i.s a synopnis of D. B. Fenrifoy’s a.idress at the closing exercises of the Hendersonville High School: “Never before in the history of the world was there more oppor tunity for young men and women than in this twentieth century. The past few decades will go down in history noted for its revolutionary discoveries and startling events. No other equal‘period of historic time has been so fraught with marvelous achievement than during the past forty years. Particularly is this true of our southland. Where forty years ago there reigned ruin and desolat on' “today thousands of spindled are striking the chords of harmony.” Our mighty rivers, which for ages have been flowing on montonously have been harnessed by the scien- tifle. What is the meaning of this wonderful progress? It means a greater demand than ever before for educated citizenship. The world de mands trained men to turn its wheels of industry. The question then comes home to us: Are we going to meet this wonderful age of opportunity? There has been marvellous strides in education in the past few decades, but lit has not been in proportion with the material. Materialism, it seems, has triumphed over the nobler instincts and it is .the ambition of American manhood to lay its miserly hand on the Almighty Dollar. But a brighter day is dawning. Education is becoming more general. Our great institutions are doing a greater work than ever before. They are stand ing as beacon lights, sending their rays into regions of darkness and showing our youth the path to hope and happiness. “No life,” said Mr. Peurifoy, “can be a success without a purpose. There must be a plan and controlling motive. ^ The many failures that in this life work mark the pathway may be traced back to the point that there was no definite aim and pur pose to control life It is a magnifi cent sight to see a stately vessel float out into the mighty, ocean to -cope with the angry waves and bil lows. But suppose the captain of this vessel has no haven in which to land this noble vessel. What will be come of it? A ship is,a noble thing, but u living man or woman is far nobler than a vessel. Created in the very image of God, the crowning masterpiece of all creation, the gol den link that made complete crea tion’s silver chain. Some of you are about to fling the canvas to the breeze and ase embarking upon the great sea of life. Have you a pur pose? Have you a goal? Are you ready for the voyage? It is true that you will not always have smooth sailing, but storms will come in their fury. Sacrifices will have to be made. Gibraltars of op- pasition will have to be overcome, but if you have a burning desire to attain unto Ideal nothing can keep you back. If Abraham Lincoln, in the days of the log school-house could rise from pernury and squalor what may we not do- in this magnificent twentieth ceutury civilization?” SMOAKS ITEMS.

The following essay was read at the commencement of the Hender sonville High School by Leland Drew: “How glorious above all earthly glories is the mission of the Poet.” His state seems half divirife, we can almost imagine him meditating with the angels, while yet he is of the world. His words are bairn to the weary heart, and his joys and powers he impai ts to his feUdw man, and makes the world happier. We beleive that poetry is one of the greatest factors in society; it lifts the mind above ordinary life and gives it rest from depressing cares. Some, people object to poetry, say ing it gives wrrong views and color ings to life, but poets, like artists, do not paint a life that does not ex ist, but only bring together its scat tered beauties. The refining power of poetry is being needed more as civilization ad vances and we mingle more with the world. It softens the heartless and artificial manners which seem to pen etrate society. Our chief authority for the his tory of nations is the poet. He describes their wars and vic tories, and tells us of the people, their tastes, customs, and conditions, for instance, when we read Grecian poetry of the time when that nation was at the zenith of enlightment, we find beauty and art held uppermost in their minds, the Romans, stern law ard order; the French, science, and thus we are brought face to face with all nations. As we advance in new arts and sciences, a new style of poetry is re quired, a new development of imagi nation and tastes that would have, been unappreciated by our fore fathers. American poetry is comparatively new, we had no poets before the Revolutionory war, there was too much fighting and hard labor to es* tablish the principles for which they stood, but aa times became more quiet, a few minds were turned into a softer strain of life, and we soon had several poets that the nation should feel proud of—however, few have made themselves famous by their profound writing. The National or patriotic songs such as the ’IStar Spangled Banner” and “Dixie” that have been sung by thousands of voices throughout the Sunny South for the last half cen tury seem to find echo in the Ameri can hearts. ^ t Altnough we appreciate our poets, still their writings cannot compare with those of some ancient authors who wrote of nature, and give to the reader a tranquility of mind that is seldom felt in the hasty, passionate writing of today, showing that there must be a decline in the love of poetry. There are a few people who do not appreciate poetry, who do not feel the reverence and respect for the very word “Poet,” that the he art demands. How refreshing it is as we come home from our daily toil, whether it be mental or physical, to be carried above the weary walks of life, and lifted into purer elements of thought by some great poet. What would our Sabbath be with- outthe beautiful hymns that are sung in the church; or where is the heart that does not soften at the words of some sweet sentimental song? The half cannot be told of the noble works and influence of the |x>et, and who but one inspired of God could fulrtill such a mission?
