Mk. John A. McKr citj" at
tornej of Charlotte, found a warm
welcome in his native county
when he came to deliver the liter
ary address at the closing exercises
of the graded school last week.
In choosing his subject, "Com
pulsory Kducation, he showed a
keen interest in tbe welfare of
tbe county that gave him birth;
handled it in a way that prove!
his desire to say something that
would have a Lasting effect for
good. rather than to tickle the intel
lectual fancies of his hearers for. a
time. He made out a good case
for compulsory education and left
it backed by unanswerable proof
and logic! argument.
The high school which closes at
Monren next week has been a
i.oted success and the enterprising
ritixens of the town are preparing
to make it even better next ses
sion by enlarging its capacity.
The Morren people bare had to
make sacrifices in order to liare
such an excellent institution with
in their midst and what people
do not make sacrifices if they
hare anything worthy! Prof.
Crawford and -his teachers have
dooe good and efficient work and
they hare been able to do so large
ly on account of the vigorous sap
port given them by a determined
people. Such a school speaks
load praises for the town and
community.

the faculty were confronted with
a peculiar situation last year in
lieginning the sclvool. we consider
thU, the first session a decided suc

he threw hlmnelf on tbe grass beneath

Seeing me looking at him curiously, be
a hook hia head and said:
-I can't atand her no longer, boss I
Jes natch'ully can't staud her no

"What'a tbe matter, uncle?" I In
quired.
-Well, you see, boss, she ain't got no

He aaya. 'Which way do you want to

In the days of the East India com
pany a certain young officer, aaya the

act which touched hia honor, but It
waa a mlatake. and he received a hint
that hia services would shortly be dis
pensed with. Being full of grit he
cudgeled hia brains to find a way out
C the difficulty.
Just at that time a notorious rebel
was wanted by the government, and
a large reward had been offered for
hia eaptnre. Tbe officer learned that
xhe rebel went regularly to a aacred
pool about midday to bathe, but the
neighborhood of the pool waa a warm
ing with mutineers.
Nothing daunted, he assumed the
garb of a Brahman and, havtng sta
tioned a vehicle at a spot not far from
the pool, boldly entered tbe water with
a pair f steel handcuffs and a gag
hidden about his waist
The young officer performed his task.
Before the man could obtain assistance
he and hia captor were In the buggy
manacled to each other, and the ve
hicle never stopped until government

Stove talk, is like all other talk, its cheap, and the dealer who
has the stoves to sell can tell you a lot about stoves. Hut
what you want is the real thing and we have it; and the
stove itself does the talking, loud talk too, 'for it proves its
