municatiOns which would be greatly
improved by the observance of few
rules and regulations. Use nothing
smaller than a half sheet of note pa
per, as anything written on smaller
sheet is liable to get lost. Don't
abreviate; it is an abomination to
write "Pres." and "V. Pres" for pres
ident and vice president, and "Thurs.
eve" for Thursday evening. Do not
omit words and expect the editor or
printer to supply them. In changing
a word cross it out and write the word
wanted directly over the one crossed.
Do not make a "short d" when you
want long "and" to appear in print.
Write proper names very plainly, so
there may be no mistaking them. In
beginning an article leave space at
the top so the editor may write head
for it without FASTING on another
sheet. Never write ON both sides of
the paper unless you desire the con-
tempt of everybody in the printing Of
flee. In writing items of news, make
paragraph of each subject. Above
all, confine yourself strictly to facts,
and state them in the fewest possible
mum Der of words.
Miss Cliffie Mitchell of lola has been
elected to the position in our High
School made vacant by the resignation
of Miss Hattie Williams. Miss
Mitchell has had five years of eXper-
fence in her profession and is highly
recommended by those who know her
as teacher. For the last two years
she has taught in FredOnia and was
urged to accept the same position for
the coming year. The appointment
of Miss Mitchell by the Board will
doubtless prove satisfactory to the
patrons of the school. We under
stand that Miss Williams resigns her
position to accept one in the Abilene
High School. During her three years
stay in lola she made many warm
friends both i'm school and out, who
will regret her absence.
Pretty nearly everybody who ever
goes to church has doubtless noted the
singular modesty which impels good
many young men and boys to take the
back seats, as well as the singular
modesty which seems to make it nee
essary for some other people to come
in late. We know of preacher who
thought that this sort of thing had
gone ON about long enough and so one
Sunday he read the following an
nouncement: "The service on Sunday
morning is at II o'clock. The sup
position that it is at ten minutes past
is a mistake. The seats in the front
portion of the lecture room have been
carefully examined. They are quite
sound and may be trusted not to give
way"
Yates Center Ners: The recitatiOns
and readings given at the missionary
meeting last Sunday evening were
beautifully rendered, they could not
be improved upon. Jessie Majors is a
natural elOcutionist. The music was
in charge of the male quartette and
their selections were very much en-
joyed. Special mention must be given
to selo sung by Miss Clark, of lola,
and a Duet by Miss Clark and Mr..
J. VanV oorhis. Miss Clark's voice is
rich soprano and it filled the church.
Mrs. Follett was Organist and all
know what a magnificent musician
she is.
Mrs. T. w. Jones, of Wise, received
the sad news recently of the death of
her mother which occurred in Chilli
Gothic, Ohio. The Chillicothe Daily
NeWs, gives long and appreciative
obituary notice from which we quote
the following:
The world in which she lived and was known.
has suffered a distinct loss in the death of Mrs
Catherine B. Foster whose sad demise was
briefly noted in our last Saturdays issue. She
was lady OF unObtrusive, quiet nature, deeply
devoted TO her home and family. and hlling tho
nOblest sphere of woman; that OF wife and moth
er with gentle sweetness and charm. In the
hearts OF those outside of her immediate family.
who were proud to call themselves her friends.
there will also always remain the memory Oh her
beautiful nature and lovely dbpositon'

away, but would be soothing and heal

S. A. Gard spent two or three days
driving about through the eastern
and southeastern part of the county
last week, and ne reports the crop
prospects, all things considered, as
good as he ever saw. He says, too,
that the people are more hopeful and
happy and more confident of coming
out all right" than they have been for
three years. And all this was before
the Saturday rain came.
