There, dear one, we’ll meet'agrain.

CLASSMAT^ TRIBUTE.
Oq Friday, July 19, a sad acci
dent caused the death of one of
our most beloved boys, Van
Breese. No one could be more
missed than Van, by old and
young, rich and poor, because he
greeted every one with a sweet
smile and ^^entle word.
As a schoolmate he was always
expressing his love for friends
by some kind word or deed, and
was always ready to assist any
one in their preparation of a les
son. As a Christian his faith
was beautiful, always speaking a
word for his Savior where an op
portunity offered, and always di
recting some one of his play
mates in the paths of right.
Van was a true type of Christ
ian manhood, and we all should
endeavor to follow his footsteps.
Van was a schoolmate of ours
for four years, and during the
time not an unkind word was
spoken to any one. Never a
word unfit for holy lips ever fell
from his. When anything went
wrong or troubles assailed him
he always laughed them off.
On Friday during his great suf
fering when urged to “brace up”
he looked up, and with a sweet
smile on his face said: “My God
can do more for me than any
one.” O, what precious words
from a child of God !
Dear friends and schoolmates,
let us endeavor to follow the ex
ample of this dear friend and
schoolmate, and love our heaven
ly Father more than ever before,

Brevard, Thursday, Aus 15.
It is quite certain that a large
majority of our farmers are not
getting as good results from their
farming operations as is possible
without increasing either labor or
expense.
Take for instance our great crop,
corn. Do the 2,750,000 acres plant
ed in corn produce what they
should? Can we not increase the
yield and net profit by better
methods? Are the right kinds
and amounts of fertilizers used and
applied in the best way? Is our
method of cultivation the best and
done at the least expense ? Is the
crop harvested so as to secure the
greatest feed value from it and at
the least expense?
As long as the average yield for
the State remains below fifteen
bushels per acre it is certain that
the average man still has much to
learn about growing corn and it is
probable that the best corn grower
can also learn something and still
improve his methods,
Th?e purx:>ose of the farmers insti
tute is to discuss just such ques-
tios relating to corn culture and
similar questions about all other
crops and farming operations. If
the farmers of the county will come
out and discuss such questions with
a view of increasing their knowl
edge and improving their farming
this institute may be of untold val
ue to the county.
Don’t think every man who
carries a camera is a Japanese
spy.
A member of the British Parli-
ment cannot resign. A member
of the U. S. Congress can, but he
never does.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that tiiere is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a consticutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. HalFs Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. Tlie proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure.- Send for list of testimonials.

Colonel Watterson thinks that

it, for the mosqjaitoes to get
through.
“We never repent of eating too lit
tle,” was one of the ten rules of life
of Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
every one without exception during
this hot weather, because it is hard
for food even in small quantities, to
be digested when the blood is at
hia:h temperature. At this season
we should eat sparingly and proper
ly. We should also help the stom
ach as much as possible by the use of
a little Kodol For Indigestion and
Dyspepsia, which will rest the stom
ach by digesting the food itself.
