We ran across fellow at Wichita
who thought we were the editor of the
Cresset and he wanted to whip US. It
took some vehement protestations on
our part to convince him that he had
the wrong fellow but we finally succeed
ed in being identified with the aid Of
Al Noble and others. That is about
the hardest luck we have ever been
up against. 1t is severe enough to be
called the editor Of the Cresset but the
thought of enduring punishment for
his sins is uncomfortable. We think
we'll stay at home hereafter and be
immune from such insults and dam
gers.

A republican who does not sign his
name dropped US some verses on the
Nixon steal last week. They were not
published for the reason that the writer
did not sign his name. The manu-
script will be preserved and the verses
will be published if the author will
disclose his identity. His name need
not appear IN print and an assumed
name will be signed if he SO directs.
But in justice to the publishers the
writers of all communications must be
known.

Closing Exercises of the Fork
Hill School.

and intelligent audience assembled
at Fork Hill academy. The &C.
casiop was the closing exercises of
our school
Promptly at 1880, the principal,
Rev. h. j. Blackmon, came
forward, and in very easy and
graceful manner made the open
ing remarks, which were very
appropriate, and at the same time
assured the audience that there
was something in store for them.
And true it was, for the program
frsm beginning to end was car
ried out with great exactness.
Never for one moment did the
interest in the exercises abate.
The pupils knew their parts aud
delivered them well. They showed
that they had been ander the
direction of an able teacher and
fine dissiplinarian.
The music of the evening was
Pleasingly rendered by Misse.
Eta Lingle and Eunice Long at
the organ and Miss Anabel Porter
with guitar. The songs by the
school were under the direction
of Miss Lingls. The opening
song was sung with much anima.
tion, the pupils giving evidence
of most patient and careful tram
ing. All the songs were we'll
received.
Speeches were made by several
persons interested in the educa-
tiOnal growth of the community
but one delivered on the subject
of education by Mr.. Il. M. Belk,
one OF Laneaster's most popular
young men, seemed especially to
have been appreciated by the large
and to have brought
out many favorable comments.
After the closing song, Rev. K.
j. Blackmon, in Il most touching
mrnr cr offered his resignation as
of the school. 1t was
with very great reluctance ac-
cepted 10y the Board who assured
him of their high appreciation of
tao progress of the school while
under his supervision.
Everybody seemed to have
been delighted with the exercises
and progress which the childl en-
had made; all which greatly re-
Hects the true worth cf their
teacher.
Our people have begun to
awake to the importance of educa-
ton. This is shown by the rapid
strides which we have made in the
last year or two. BY willing
hearts and hands, coupled with
energy and perseverance, we have
erected a school building which is
> credit to any community; and
forsshadows the upbuilding of our
community and the development
Of the Tiny brains into higher
channels. We hope to have our
school run on the graded system,
and to make it the equal of any
city school. We owe much to
Rev. Mr.. Blackmon; for it is by
ais energy and zeal that we can
boast Of our school. His untir.
ng devotion to all that tends up-
ward has done much to build up
'ur community, and make us see
he true side of life.
Let US arouse ourselves from
ethargy, and be on the alert to
ADVANCE our children, and prepare
hem for the great battles of life.

No, thank you! Tho Public School of Leighton wants no saloon money now or ever. Such money would prove a curse instead of a blessing-Leighton News.
 Does The News stop to think how in- tolerant, not to say ridiculous, that decia- ration sounds? Of the evils of intem- perance all are agreed, and if the peo- pie of a town decide not to license saloon that is their business. though they probably pave the way for the blind tiger when they do 1t, but to say that a saloon license would be curse to the public school fund is neither logical nor sensible. If all the license money which is paid in Alabama could be turned over to the school fund it would help out that fund amazingly. and we cannot see that any pupil would be the worse for it.
 When a church needs money for mis- sionary purposes. or to build house or pay a minister, would 1t refuse donations made by men who made their money by the nquor traffic? If it is wrong to make money by that means does it not les- sen the wrong to some extent if the money is devoted to a good purpose? If not, why not?
