The board Of education viii hold a
meeting next Monday night to discuss
the finances of the city schools.
The board finds itself practically with
out funds The money on hand and
that which viii be received from the
county and state tax levies at the eng
of the fiscal year will not pay the ex-
penses of the schools up to date Fur
Their than this the board has coming
due bonds to the amount of $4,000 as
sumed by the city when the four cOun-
try districts We're annexed to the city.
The board can not pay these bonds and

issued by the school district boards the
city board can not refund them. The

Literary Notes.

The Constitution of the United
States of America has put a new
meaning into the word citizenship.
The high ideals of the fathers OF
our country have laid the founda-
tons of good citize nship in such a
way that the industrious. hign-
minded, ambitious men and women
Of all nations have fiocked to our
shores. The present prominence
Of our nation among the nations
CT the world and it's new fields of
usefulness and power have given
to America citizenship fresh in
>piration toward true Lying and
great accomplishment.
The high sentiments OF our Chief
Executive in his address, The New
Citizen" printed in The Youths
Companion, are fittingly published
in the Washington's Birthday
Number. George Washington, by
h,s pure life and wise conservatism
and ambition for the new country,
fairly won his title of Father OF
his Country. Theodore Roosevelt,
the best exponent of our twentieth
century activity, has equally high
ideals for tie nation; and in this
address and in his life he lays par
iicular stress on the individual, his
stewardship, his usefulness in home
and public life.
Washington and Lincoln led our
nation over its most difficult
paths. 1t has been left in recent
wears for such men as Theodore
Roosevelt to embody the highest
ideals of private and public citizen
ship.

SOME ROAD TALK.
Clover Creek Men Make Some
Suggestion.

That Burnsyille correspondent
who has been writing about a
piece of bad road in highland and
has made some people believe that
all the roads of the cosnty are just
about that way. was answered by
the parties having control of the
road in last weeks Bath county pa
per, which reply We reproduce aud
is as follows:
Glover Creek, Feb. live wish
to say in reply to you hNrnsv'lle
correspondent in n recent issue OF
your paper in regard to the public
road from X. p. Lockridges to Arch
RevercOmbs. that We are perfectly
aware of the condition of said ROAD,
but as We have no controlling pow"
er over the elements and atmos-
pherc, we have no apologies to
make to our Burnsville brother.
Your correspondent forgets that
since the day after the freshet in
December, which damaged the
road NO badly the ground has been
! frozen and that it has been an
utter imposibility to work or make
road; it is useless to repair part OF
some when new road which is
very necessary can be made at very
little more expense. 1t seems to US
Ike those "that live in glass houses
should not throw stones" How
about the road from huntsville to
Jackson's river road about s miles
north Of Warm Springs9 We
might also ''itemize and particu:
larize" it, regard to said piece OF
road in Bath, q distance of about
10 miles to your correspondents,
mile in Highland.
We have had the unpleasant oc'
casion to travel said road and We
know whereof we speak" We
did not ask who kept up sand batl
road nor did we care, but if yor
wish to know who the contractors
of "pobodys" road are we kind,
refer you to the signatures below

The acceptances Of new inven-
tons follow so closely, one upon
another, that We are apt to lose
our wonder at the great strides that
are being made. For instance, in
the news of the week, besides the
many new uses that self-propelled
carriages are being put to, there IS
recorded the fact that two members
of the Austrian royal family took
a balloon journey, of two hundred
miles, lust for fun" while Santos
Dumont steered boldly out over
the Mediterranean on a forty.6ve
minute trip, and then came back
to his starting place against 6
strong wind that was blowing.

We have lately discovered that
we have living in Highland county

der who served under General
Washington and fought in the
famous battles Of Trenton and
York town.
The name is Elizabeth Halterman,
wife of Joseph Halterman, and
her home is on Strait Creek, eight
miles north of Monterey. Mrs
Halterman is u years of age, but
dispite her years she continues te
enjoy good health, has a vigorous
mind and is leading an active life
She remembers much it is said that
was told her by her father. that il
properly arranged would make an
interesting article.
Mrs. Halterman's fathers name
was George Rymer who came tc
this country from England. After
the war he settled IN Augusta coun'
ty where he worked for a man by
the name of Bell and there married
a girl from England. Afterwards
he moved to what is now Highland
comfy and built a cabin on the
land that Sir. Bell took up for him
This was in the year 1888 and it is
said the hewed stills of that hou'
are vet to be seen and are in fairly
good condition.
To the first marriage five chill
dren we're born. two boys and three
gi,ls, all of whom are dead.
Mr.. Rymer's second wife who
WAS about II years old, was Miss
DAVIS. whom he married when he
was n years Of age, and to this un'
ion four children were born, three
sons and one daughter, Mrs. Halter
man being that daughter The
three boys are all Lying in West
Va. and their names are George
