Although but a young man, he haH laid llie foundation for a useful, honorable and successful life, and we shall be disappointed if he does not achieve it.

Master James Camp, assistant in the Pest Office, is another young wan who is making a creditable history, worthy of emulation. We desire to inform our young men by way of incentive, that THE Dixos Sex will ever find room to record their laudable achievements, and before long we hope to give a Hat of Dixon boys who have risen to prominence in Chicsgo and Bther large cities.
