Notes of City School*.
In compliance with a custom in

It hv earnestly
red energy to
do their examinations with credit.
In speaking to the students of the
high school today, Superintendent
Hdmunds In urging them to return
with determination to do their best
work cited some Illustrations of what
may be done by the students who
wish to make the most of their time.
He reminded them that from the
Sumter high school there hud gone
one Rhodes scholar to have tho bene?
fit of three years training in England
That only recently anoti " vad pass?
ed the examination of 1 ability for
this scholarship. This successful as?
pirant Is at present a student in one
of the leading educational Institutions
of Virgnla. That from one of tho
leudlng institutions of North Carolina,
he h*d seen the statement that one
of oar boys is "the best studont in the
class from every standpoint and has
handed In a paper which was the best
examination from any student that
the instructor had ever seen." /hat
in our own State at ono of the lead?
ing institutions for young men the
leader of the college is a Sumter boy;
and at one of the educational institu?
tions for young women, the leader Is
a Humter girl. The very pertinent
question was asked: If this can be
* me by others, why can It not be
done by you? Thero Is only one way
and that Is preparedness through a
long period of preparation and this
requires detomlnatlon to excel in
that which is best and which, there?
fore, counts for most. What has
been done, certainly can be done. Why
should It not bo done by you?

A Nervous Woman Finds
Relief From Suffering.
Women who suffer from extreme
nervousness, often endure much
?offering before finding ?.ny relief.

which she says:
"Six raonthe I
was bedfast r.ith
nervous prostra?
tion. I had sink?
ing spells, a cold,
clammy fee-line;.?

I would almost

2C2 Hudson St., Tiffin, Ohio.
Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. Dr. Mile:.' Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return tue price if you
receive no benefit. 2
