tractive in appearance, and has about as
much get up and go-ahead as the best of
them. and has a perfect right to dress
RIGHT up in the front rank. Brother
Wicks and his brother can be proud OF
their paper, and doubtless are 50 unless
they have a great deal more modesty
than the rest of our crowd.

In this issue is a call to the scho'
teachers Of Madison School District,
attend a teachers meeting to be held
Union Forge. on Saturday, March l5ti
1t will be the last meeting of the kind fC
this season. As these meetings mus
necessarily be of great interest and benz
fit to the teachers, they should not fail
attend. We are proud to know that Il
public school teachers of this county star
as high as those of any county in II
State, land they should neglect nothin
that can in any way advance them
their most useful calling.
