May I add just here' that for more than a quarter of a. century my life has "been cast along lines which have brought me into contact with good people from all sections ' onr country, as well as some from for eign countries, but in my opinion none of them measure, quite up to the standard of our mountain folks,' of real man and womanhood, an-1 es-J pecially .our Madison County people whom I have known and loved dur ing all .these years, and to them I take pleasure In commending the News-Re. cord, as a, splendid publication-and a most valuable' county ' enterprise. . : With very best wishes, I am, D.

'Those lack ing this beautiful jewel may or a time crowd themselves forward and, so long as nothing of importance is at stake, be permitted to enjoy pro minence in the state and social affairs but when the crisis comes when the ! government is threatened, when so ciety is a menace, when it is a spe cial honor to be prominent, charac ter is scrutinized and only he whose character is spotless is selected to lead at such times. Brilliant reputa tions fade as a meteor fades and their possessions find reputation one thing and character another. They then re gret that this important difference had not been thought of before, but the World seems to learn little from these lessons which individuals so of ten learn under severe circumstance The world as a rule is careful of its reputation the outside cover of the heart the mist which hides the sane, but of its character the heart itself the object of God's scrutiniz ing, it is deplorably careless. The question is not what I am, but what will the world think of me. With the knowledge of the advantages of char. cater in this world and the next, let every young man strive to live in such a way that he can respect himself and be utterly regardless so long as he is right of opinion of the world. Another important thing to remenu ber ia that character once gone .is gone forever. A shattered character may be retrieved in part but can nev er be restored to its original strength an perfection. However 'upright a man 'who has been reckless: of the LAST LYCEUM ' '.'.Is NUMBER The last of the Lyceum numbers scheduled for Marshall this season was given at the school auditorium Wednesday night after prayer meet ing.' jThe two entertainers were good, htt Marshall is sufficiently fed up on TERe courses for the present.
