screen factory on their newly acquired
premises just south of the cite of the

pie expect to yacate the Baldwin
factory and give the screen factory
complete possession by October LIST.
By that time or earlier the new factory
will be completed and it is expected to

A writer from Mann, this county, to
the Reynolds County Outlook seems
somewhat d~isgruntled at the result Of
the late teachers examination in Iron
county. Here is what he says: "Our
people and teachers OF Iron county are
worked up to a very high pitch over
the results of the late examination.
There were thirty-three who took the
June examination. Nineteen of the
number failed, only fourteen being
granted certificates. A large per cent.
of the failures were old experienced
teachers. Some of the most success
full teachers Of the county were num-
bered with the failures. A young COM
missioner may think this will profit
him, he may think he will get u name,
and 80 he will, but not very far up the
ladder OF fame. We need older and
better experienced men in our County
Commissioner offices. Why not grant
the teachers who have proven them-
selves, certifcatesP Some Of these
teachers had made the grade in alge-
bra and literature, thinking they
would receive a second grade"
Rev. I. +. Marshall, formerly pastor
OF the Presbyterian church here, but
now of Linton, Indiana, has just closed
a big tent meeting in connection with
his work there. Rev. Chester Birch
was a leading feature and his work is
greatly complimented. In speaking
OF the meeting a late issue Of the
Linton Record says: "Oae thing we
must not fail to mention; that is the
energy and enterprise exhibited by
the local minister, Thomas f. Mar
shall, who had charge Of the manage
ment Of the meetings throughout.
He is an able young man, vigorous,
active and effective in whatever he at
tempts. His presence in body and
soul was in every meeting. Between
meetings he was as busy as when in
the services, hustling around in some
way to make the meanings better. He
is very popular, especially among the
members of his congregation, where
his worthy efforts are continuously
being manifested. All who had the
pleasure OF attending the meetings
feel thankful to Mr.. Marshall for his
untiring efforts in the worthy cause.
II such services we're carried on all
the time it would be a good thing for
Linton"
In another column | reproduce an
article from the Emp0riG Gazette.
While | do not approve Of some OF the
terms used and think his criticism at
times unduly severe, yet the trend OF
the article is in the right direction.
An item ia this paper two weeks ago,
written 10 the kindliest spirit, and be-
cause of the knowledge have of the
dangers that beset the weaker sex oil
tender age, has aroused some untoward
comment; yet | have seer some things,
and heard of some others, which more
than justify the warning then given.
Ia it right that girls in their early
teens should unattended visit the Rifle
Range at evening and call for this or
that soldier? Is 1T the correct thing
for them to be buggy-riding through
the Valley with strangers at eleven,
twelve and one o'clock at night. And il
it Is right, why do the girls get out Of
the rigs at the outskirts OF town and
walk unattended homep Is this moi
done to deceive their parents? As
sure as they are girls, their greatest
, danger comes with their practicine
deception with their mothers! Can
they with IMMUNITY seek association
with strangers and callow youths and
play the hoydenP l warn their par.
ents that worse may come Of it II
greater care be not exercised. Il
these little Misses could hear the re.
marks made about them in their alb.
sence by some Of these same men II
might make them more circumspect
certainly it would beget more vigilance
on the part Of their parents, who ought
to be likewise their guardians.
Can some m tell us when and
where originated the fashion for wo'
men and girls to 60 on the street with
} out a covering for the headP We may
we'll be thankful that the women in
! America do not have to be shrouded
in a thick, heavy veil, with only the
eyes visible, as do the women in
Turkey and India. Nor do they have
to stay indoors all day, and only have
a walk or the street at night after al
their liege lords are in bed asleep, a:
: In some eastern countries. Nor dc
our women have to wear q bonnet as
