Judge Dnnieh charge 'To ttjj/r grand jury was om of the. besP" ever delivered in th« county. Most of the subjects dwel upon were those things that we huv failed to accord their true meaning and full value. First, the solemnitj of the oath. How often the peopl swear and kiss the Book and fre quently violate the oath, and it is quite a common thing for people t' twist and squirm in such a way tha they hide the truth. It is reall amusing how many times during : day in court people swear falsely which is one of the meanest of th crimes.

Th reasons given for a good educationa system was clear anl to the point an* • answered the tax dodgers' complaint.- Public education is necessary to th success of any community, and i must be universal to insure the larg est measure of success. Our country lost the opportunity t. educate its children during the day of and following the Civil war. An though many men have gained prom inene that had little education, y« it wuß a crushing thing to those wh carr e dthe load. No yoke except th" of tin itself bears heavier on th neck ( of the people than that of ig norauce. Judge Daniels did not fail to strc,- the *or kof the church in the build ing up of character, morality an' spirit jality. On« of the weak points t in on county today is lack of home pr ernmtnt.
