What shall we do with the children? is being asked by the fathers, mothers, and leaders of our country today. The rich man is wondering if he is too indulgent with his children if after all the very riches he possesses will not prove a curse to his child instead of a blessing. The poor man is often despondent because he doesn't feel able to give his children what he considers thenecessty's of life, to say nothing of the luxuries. He envies the rich in his splendor from the very fact that he has or seems to have every advantage. But when we look into the matter as it really is, we realize that while poverty has many drawbacks and disadvantages, it also has a few advantages. Time to begin selecting.

He has some one to attend to his every wish. He cannot know the value of money. His every desire is gratified by his indulgent parents. As a rule he grows up deficient in strength and lacking in those studious ambitious qualities that characterize his poorer brother. Very seldom is the rich man's son found occupying places of prominence filled by the sons of poor men. Let us take as example some of our leaders, such as Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and last but not least, the most noted Negro the United States can boast of, in the person of Dr Booker T Washington. Take these noble characters and hold them up as shining lights to the children of today. Did these men come up in luxury? No. They were brought up in obscurity and had to struggle for every dollar, and often through childhood went to bed hungry and colu. We are often inclined to ask what was the secret of their success? We all agree that it wasn't wealth, for they had none, but in looking back over their history we find it was an honest studious principle instilled in their hearts by God fearing parents while their hearts were young and tender. And we find this same principle brought forth in their lives. It is of the greatest importance that the child be trained right, for the Bible says "Train up a child in the way he way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." As we speak of the training of children our thoughts naturally turn to two places home and school, for in the two places we should find the training necessary for the proper development of the child mind, but of the two places home has the greatest influence. It is natural for the child to imitate and like his parents and teachers. A child should early be taught of the true, the beautiful and the good. Fathers and mothers you occupy no mean position. It is high, exalted and holy. God has intrusted into your keeping these little jewels of humanity, and it is you who must teach the infant ilps the name of Jesus. (Concluded next week.) Go In.

On the 28th ult we again visited New Franklin where we succeeded admirably with our work. Everyone seemed well pleased with the paper. Mr. John Brown, an energetic young man, recently graduated from Lincoln Institute, was retained as our solicitor for this place and other nearby communities. Rev. Reeves would have us lecture in the evening at Hughes' Chapel. A very delightful time was had with the people at this service. At 10:30 p. m. we stepped aboard the M., K. & T. train going east for Columbia, where we arrived at low twelve. Our old friend Lampkin met us at the door with his "gun," because he feared that we were burglaries instead of a friend. While here we learned that Revs. Young and Washington, the boy preacher, were aiding local interests in conducting revival services. The ever congenial Doctor J. A. Taylor was as busy as usual, although somewhat worried because of the indisposition of his amiable wife. Thanksgiving we took the Wabash for Mexico, where we changed to the C. & A. for Fulton, our anticipated destination. Here is a beautiful city, healthfully located, sensibly built and surrounded by an atmosphere of the serenest tranquility. Rev. Ellis, of the M. E. church, met us at the station and conducted us to the comfortable home of Henry Bell and his loveable better five-sixths, Mrs. Laura Bell. Here we were pleasantly entertained during our stay of four days. By the kindness and thoughtfulness of Bro. Ellis, we were shown the beautiful residences owned by our people in the various parts of this city. Many of them were among the best white sections. And this would indicate unmistakably the pleasant feelings that exist in the community. Thanksgiving we witnessed a very amusing and interesting concert given by the young friends of Bro. Ellis' church. After the concert Mias Georgia J. Gibbs, an old acquaintance, us to a large number of the citizens. Friday we visited the school where we found seven teachers carnestly and laboriously engaged. Prof. Payne, the principal, informed us that the enrollment was about 90 per cent of the enumeration, a remarkable showing. In each room we found evidences of intelligence in both pupils and teachers. The faculty is composed of the following individuals: Profs. Payne and Wilburn, & are the Misses Gibbs, Scholes, Payne. McKim and Gibson. Saturday morning Rev. Ellis certainly did make us step about the city. To our delight we visited several buildings which Messrs. Gibbs and Browles were completing. From the manner and extent of the work these gentlemen are doing, we know them to be finished workmen, well up in the art of carpentry and working mechanics. Every home in which we were conducted was attired in cleanliness, order and purity. In the afternoon we visited the office of Dr. J. D. Sexton and round him busy as usual. Our good Sir Knight Sexton is doing well here. He has a Pythian lodge well on. When he organizes he will have many of the best men of that community with him. Saturday evening we were made a welcome guest of the city teachers at the home of Miss Heatrice Scholes. After listening to a musical and literary rehearsal we regaled ourselves upon dainties bordering on the ambrosial. Fultons teachers meet weekly in a social meeting and there strengthen the bonds of union that should everywhere exist between leaders of our youth. Sunday we worshipped with Rev Ellis' people and enjoyed the sermons over much. In the afternoon, through the kindness of Miss McKim, we were made welcome at the Baptist Sunday school. We found this school presided over by an aged father who took special dlight in instructing the children. Our greatest joy was reached when we visited the home of Joseph Bell, where we met his son, Eli, one of old college and football chums. At first we could only look at each other and grin, MEUSCHKES A Few Suggestions, Which may be of material value Xmas purchases. We are bet before to supply you with gifts showing now on hand.

Monday morning we reluctantly took our leave of Fulton and its hospitable people for Mexico. Here we fell in with Rev. J. L. Smith. He kindly snowed us to the shop of George White, the blacksmith who is always busy. After exchanging greetings with him, we hastened to the new school house where we met Prof. J. J. Hicks and his corps of teachers, among whom we found Miss Georgia Pringle, one of our own college girls, giving a good account of herself. Hestening through the city we stopped a moment to clasp hands with Messrs. Booth and Douglas, the up-to-date tonsorialists of the city. Of course we tried to run down Uncle James Smith, everybody's friend, but to our utter chagrin he was out engaged in the murder business—killing hogs. However, we saw his estimable wife and mother-in-law. All were well and pleased to see us, and they made us feel mighty good before leaving. On our return to Columbia, we fell in with Editor Logan of the Professional World, who aided us to while away several pleasant moments. Tuesday afternoon we arrived in Glasgow. Rev. H. T. Reeves met us at the train and began at once to show us the majestic hills of this once noted river port. He speedily conducted us to the school where that veteran educator, Prof. J. H. Chinn, holds sway. Here Here we found everybody busy. A better conducted school is not to be found than the Glasgow school. First Summer Girl--But the man in the case was married.

There are many inquires concerning the enforcement of the compulsory education law. A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher, school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school.

A child may be excused by a court if it can not procure proper clothing, but not on account of inability to buy books. The school board must furnish books. It is hoped that there will be a charitable organization in every school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the Attendance officer, or district clerk in a district not having attendance officer, to prosecute parents who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to be notified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9794 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school. When the conduct of a child is such as to demoralize the school he should be sent to the state reformatory. No child should be turned out of school for slight infraction of the rules.

Corpus Christi and Oyster Bays are the natural home of the Tarpon, and this the gamest of fish, is practically undisturbed in these waters. There may be finer sport than Tarpon fishing but it would be difficult to convince any one who has indulged in the sport to the conirary. For Health and Recreation Corpus Christi, Aransas Harbor, Rockport and the surrounding sections are unique. Tempered by the gulf breezes, the extremes of heat and cold are unknown. Winter is but a name—the clear bright sunshiny days, and the aluing out of door pleasures are in such marked contrast to the chilly north. Now the bays and inland lakes are fairly alive with wild geese, red heads, mallards and oth er feathered game, making it a veritable paradise for the hunter. Plan your winter outing now. The exceptionally low rtaes during the fall and winter months—the excellent train service and accommodations via the M K & T, Ry. make it a journey of but small cost and not of life some lengthth. I want you to read "Winter Tours," I'll send it on request. Once read, I'm sure you'll be more than half convinced that you should visit the Gulf Coast of Texas this winter! Address W. S. ST. GEORGE.
