a the decorations. Misses?McElveen,
Vinnie Carter and Bessie Howie received
in the front hall and porch
and the guests were ushered to the
rear hall, where Mesdames J P Matthews:
and Charles Allpn nresided
over the punch bowl. A lively feature
of the evening was the construction
of an animal by means of
small tacks on a flat board, the couples
being matched by "class rings"
with the corresponding numbers under
the seal. Mr Wilbur Eaddy and
Miss Louise Gravely won the first

/ something prevents, the electric
lights will be turned on for the first
time.
Mrs A C Moore has returned from
an extended trip to Atlanta.
Despite low prices,bean shipments
continue in great quantities, truck
of other kinds is moving daily and
the scene at the freight depot nowadays
is a truly business-like one.
When the long-continued drought
is broken a general improvement in
the crops is anticipated; howbeit,
many of our farmers are getting
rather despondent over present conditions.
Miss Maggie McClam is at home
from Limestone College.
Mr M K Gravely is making extensive
additions to his sales warehouse
building. This, when completed, will
make the number and size of tobacco
warehouses in Lake City second
in none in the State.
All one can hear and talk intelligent^
this week is "commencement";
but, as one is a high school
graduate but once in a lifetime,
kindly allow the indulgence.

Optimism.
To look on the bright side of life
and its affairs with an enthusiastic j
belief that everything is all right
and for the best is ideal. This is especially
true as it applies to those
who come into contact with the sick.
A physician, above all men, should
be an optimist?ready to stimulate
hope even though he may not have
it himself. Hopefulness in the
countenance and optimism in the
words and and actions of the physician
are as sunshine in the sickroom;
they stimulate hopefulness of
recovery in the sick and a courage
that often has potent influence for
good. Even when recovery is not
possible,the Journal of the American
Association thinks that good, not
harm, is done. They make life worth
living while it lasts. The psychic influence
is always felt so long as
consciousness remains. * Paget,speaking
of hypochondriacs, says, "Your
chances of doing good will depend
mainly on the skill with which you
can influence the patient's mind; for
of all the components of his case the
mental condition is the worst."
In the treasury of the city of New
York there is the sum of $243,638,
consisting of salaries and other sums
due people who did not trouble to
collect them.
