Farmers have been busy picking cotton

We cannot boast OF any high school cxhi-
billions as Middleton, Ubet, Grand junction,
Clover-Port and WhitcviIIe. We are sorry
that the school interest seems to be on the
wane in this neighborhood and think that
the people should give the subject more at
tention. Hickory Valley might well afford
to support first class high school, but the
current Of their intelligence don't seem to
run in that channel Raising corn and cot
ton, merchandise, making sorghum and
gathering scaly banks seem 10 be the princi-
pal occupation, consequently there Is no
one teaching the young mind how to shoot.
