In the ear with Mr. Wilkins was Mrs. Wilkins, their son Master Roy, and Mr. BL R. Britt. They 'were re turning to Bellamy from .the home of Mrs Wilkins' father, Mr.. W. S.

Mr. Wil kins, who had about brought the car to n stop by that time, said it wasn't a stump but an alligator. And so ft proved to be, an alligator 6 1-2 feet long. Messrs.

Mr. Johnson took occasion to . commend the people of that progressive com munity lor the interest they have manifested in the cause of education. He also told of the . great advance ment that has recently and is now being made in every direction. True Measure of Man's Valae "Love and service", were defined by the speaker as the greatest things in the world for a true measurement of the lives of men. "An ' education that does not fit men and women for greater service Is false, the speaker continued. .Those who would be great est should not live for self alone, hut for others. The speaker quoted the saying of Christ "Let him who would be greatest among you, - be servant of alL " ' r', -' " - Lifters and Leaner. " , : Mr. Johnson divided folks into two classes people who lift -and who lean. Success In life depends more upon the good one may do than in finances. The speaker painted a vivid picture of the sad end of a man whose only ambition in life is to accumulate riches and 'do nothing for his fellow man. He cotrasted the selfish life with the life of service. The life of service is the life that will bless the world after it has ended. . The speaker took occasion to pay tribute to the life of ex-President Wilson, describing him as the most loved man in America. His life was cited as one lived for the service and benefit of mankind. Many declared Mr. Johnson's ad dress to have been the best they had ever heard. It was just the kind of address that appeals to thinking peo ple and one that is destined to bear fruits in the lives of men and women. A Bountiful Dinner.
