What about the school for Mt
Olive! Are we to sit in perfect
Indifference to this great impore
tant subject? l heard one of our
biggest merchants and property
owners in town say be would be
compelled to leave the place. In
fact, he said he was going to move
to some town or city where he
could educate his children, if they
did not soon get up a good school
here. This particular gentleman
IS one of the High School direc-
tors. l have heard several others
speak of sending their families off
to a good school to educate their
children. Wake up, citizens, and
put your shoulders to the wheel
and the wheel will be bound to
turn: Why, there 7 three or four
citizens that live here that could
easily equip ii i've or ten thousand
dollar college and not miss it
just think what an advantage such
an institution would give this
place, and the great benefit you
would be doing the coming youth
of your home and community, be-
sidesthe educational advantage you
would be able to give your own
children, and make a nice profit
on your investment. Open your
hearts and your pocketbooks at
the same time.
Don't be fooled by anyone say
ing they have a machine that is
just as good as the New Homo.

for cash or on the installment
plan.
