torast on tha pan of the parents,
who should bo interested in their chil

exztisad absences in a school month

Tha penalty attached to violation of

is a flue. The fine for drat offense

THR CABTER-AMKKNETHY CABS
Tko quarrel hot ween Judge Car
ter and Solicitor Abernethy ia at
tracting State wide attention. The
merits and demerits of each mar
concerned are receiving full atten
tion at tko hands of the public. Aa
the investigation proceeds the fight
baeomes more bitter and nastier. It
ia decidedly personal and aach man
ia seeking to tear down tho other's
character. Tko Stats at largo will
not benefit by tint, at all, and at soon
»s tho facte can bo gotten together
and Justice rendered tko better it
will be for everybody.

Grant, I boeeech thee, that 1 may

Deafen ma to the Jingle of mint

Blind me to the faults of the eth

Guide me so that each night when

wife, who has been ■ blessing to me
I will hare nothing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose myself
in their play.
