''that she is often entertained in the
homes of ex-Confederate soldiers. While

Kangaroo Calf.

kangaroo Calf" is genu-
inc calf skin, tanned by a
new process, which adds great
strength and service to the
skin, with softness, pliability
and neatness Of appearance.
The skins are finished on
the grain or hair side, which
is the opposite Of all other
tannages of calf skins. The
upper of the Security School
Shoe" is made from the best
selection of Kangaroo Calf.
Each pair has an outside back
strap Of this same material,
and in addition, an inside
linen back stay. The tip is
from the best Oak Sole leath-
er finished expressly for this
purpose, and the soles, coun-
tiers and all materials used in
the makeup of these shoes
are of the very best. They
are made for service and
hard usage, from the hustling
child, and are absolutely Sc
cure, front and back, upper
and sole.

Mr.. Ettenstein, wealthy gentle
man, or Rochester, n. Y, was in our
city Tuesday. In company with w.
E. Saum they visited DIR. Jones' farm
on Big creek and, Mr.. E., after look
the place over, remarked that the
doctor was philanthropist.
Word was received here Wednesday
that A. E. Lewis had handed in his
resignation as agent and that Mr..
Bradshaw. agent at Winona, would be
transferred to this station. Mr.. Hank
will be transferred to Winona. Mr..
Lewis many friends will be sorry to
learn that his pleasant smile will new
er more be seen at the ticket window.
During his stay here he held a posi-
tion in which there are many trials
and tribulations, as the life of sta
tiOn agent is not all sunshine, but
MIR. Lewis long experience, efficiency
and geniality made him many warm
and Staunch friends with the railroad
officials and our good people all over
the county.
1t gives US great pleasure to be able
to say that the Wa-Keeney public
schools were never more efficient than
at the present time. Harder work
was never done than during the past
year and the result, we believe, Is
apparent. We speak of the teachers
individually and collectively when
we say that hard work was their mot
to during the past year and the time
daily employed by them in the inter
est of their pupils was almost twice
the numbers of hours actually re-
quired by the school law. Their heart
was in the work and neither time nor
pains was ever spared. We speak of
this only as a simple act of justice.
The efficiency of our public schools
will always be a matter of grave con-
Germ to our community and, to the
credit of our people, be it said that
they have always taken a lively inter
est in school matters. 1t would be,
perhaps, saying too much to allege
that everybody is entirely satisfied.
Until the millennium comes it will
be impossible for teachers to please
everybody, all the time, but we do
believe that our teachers have given
general satisfaction and that is as
much as can ever be reasonably eX-
pected. We all have a right to feel
proud of our public schools at this
present time and word of encourage
ment never does any harm.

DOngOla.

'sDongola" is a peculiar
tannage of Goat skins, a pro-
cess that has revolutionized
the leather industry within
the last few years, having its
origin in the efforts of Amer
lean leather manufacturers to
initiate the best makes of
French Kid. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that they
have more than accomplished
their object, as French Kid
has almost ceased to be
leather Of import.
The Security School
Shoes" are cut from the orig
inal ''Vica" Chrome tanned
Dongola made from Patna
Goat Skins. A Patna skin is
acknowledged to be the pur-
est Goat, and is counted in
the trade as probably the
best wearing skin taken from
an animal.
You are absolutely ''se-
cure from all danger Of buy
ing children shoes each week,
as is often the case, with SO
called cheap goods.
