last year. NOT as MEMBERS OF THE
BOARD BUT AS INDIVIDUALS, had
borrowed $1,000 for the school
and gave their individual note for
same. They claim to have had a
verbal agreement with the bank
that the loan would be extended
from year to year, provided the
interest was kept paid up. and
the note renewed. this of course,
would be governed by conditions
that might arise. We found also
that recently another debt of over
$1,000 had been contracted against
the school, making in all a total
debt of over $4,000. Now this
school district has not available
funds enough to pay off the $1,000
debt and run the school for a
longer term than four months,
SO we had to borrow money, NOT
AS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD BUT
AS INDIVIDUALS, to run the school
on or cut the term down to four
months. The latter we chose to
do and we have yet to see or hear
of a single patron of the school,
whose name would be worth any
thing on note at the bank, that
is dissatisfied with our action,
and further, if there is any man
or set Of men in the district who
can borrow the money or furnish
it in any way, and who thinks
that individuals ought to furnish
money to run a public school,
they can do SO and no one will
object.
As to the statement that the
three OF foIr menwaf0 re fused to
sign that note as individuals,
.scan open and close the public
school here at their own sweet
will, it is unjust and slanderously
false, as some of US have been
members of the board less than
one month and cannot under any
circumstances be held responsible
for the deplorable financial con-
dition of this school district and
we are unable as members Of the
board to borrow one cent to aid
the school If we desired to do so.
As to the suggestion of Mr..
Smylie that we resign As members
of the board we have this to say:
If the Parish Board who elected
us or a majority of the patrons
Of the school desire our resigna-
ton. and will make it known to us
we will be only too glad to comply
with their request.
Respectfully.

The devotion of the late ex- Governor James P. Eagle to his wife was the most striking char acteristic of his life. He was like unto William Mckinley in this regard, and it was this ten- der affection and high admira- tion for his help-meet that won him the unstinted regard of many thousands who were hard ly acquainted with his many oth- CT endearing traits of character. This of itself stamped him as good, and men did not fear to en- trust with this noble type of God fearing and home-loving citizen the responsibilities of the highest office within their gift.

CHRISTMAS.

To a people reared in a Chris tian land, who are prone to ac- cept without study those observ- ances which meet with the ap- proval of their minds and hearts, it is often we'll to call for a retro spection upon these customs to determine their origin and aims, and how we'll they have been held intact by successive genera tions.
 Christmas, the commemoration of the Savior's nativity, tells it's derivation in it's component syl- fables. Christ, from the Greek word for savior, and mass, ob- served by the early Catholic church as a part of the celebra- tion of the advent of the Son of Man upon earth. As early as the second century the followers of the Child Jesus observed the commemoration of the birth in the manager, but it was not until the fourth century that Pope Ju- Han fixed the date as Dec. 18th, and this day is thought to have been chosen from the fact that the ancients regarded the winter solstice as the most important period of the year, the beginning of life in all nature, and not be- because historical or biblical data confirms the date selected.
 The desire of the church to proselyte the barbarians of the north had not then contaminated with heathen practices the puri- ty of the festivity. The glamour of ceremony, the acceptance of feast and fast days that had no part in their religion, but made more compatible the new faith to traditions of Goths and Huns, had not then influenced the ob- servance of this festivity. In mass was the nativity commem- orated; in good will and cheer was the spirit of the day pro- claimed.
 No matter to what distortion and corruption the Dark Ages carried this festive day, it has come forth in this enlightened age full of the meaning it once bore. Not only as religious, but as a social event, it breaches the gos- pel of love. To the Christian church it tells the story of the coming of the Savior, but to all the world it has come to signify a day of rejoicing, when the kin ship of man is seen in sweet charity.
 Christmas such are it's asso. citations from early childhood that it's magic name seems hallowed. It lives in the sunshine of happi' ness, drives away the clouds o1 sorrow and trouble and showers peace and good will upon un numbered millions who cherish its name and meaning.
 Most popular holiday the calen dar holds in store, most signit' cant commemoration that mar observes, most blessed event that each year marks our lives, its mirth encircles both "him that gives and him that takes, drawing each closer in bond o1 love. the brotherhood of man. It/spirit reaches into the heart, calloused in self by business cares and hurry, and the kind ness that it calls forth causes many an unfortunate to forget

A big planter of Rock Hill, s. C., is out in a press statement advising the farmer to burn three out of every ten bales of cotton he is holding. Seven bales at 10 cents would bring him as much as ten bales at ' cents and the bears and factories would be taught a lesson. If all would burn their 30 per cent the theory might hold good, but the farmer who would fire his proportionate part and expect others to do the same should be adjudged insane immediately. He might become a promiscuous incendiary.
 The daughter of the late Bar on Krupp, whose guns netted him a fortune of millions, has come into an income of $2, ,OOO,- 900 per year. Mrs. Russell Sage says the girl could secure the greatest amount of happiness in devoting her heritage to charity, which is true and good advice no doubt, but why shouldn't the Stages, like the ordinary run of mankind, follow a sage's advice.
 Should the Cherokee strip be added to the confines of Arkan- sas, 25, 1000 to 50,O0O new voters, the majority of whom are Repub- licans, would be added to our suffrage list. The bill for the change is fathered by a Demo- crat, Congressman Wallace, but he seems to be a master of the situation and knows how to ap- peal to a Republican congress.

sHIRTwAIsTs--DREss HATS
A Combination That Is the Opposite
Of Good Form and Tas-
tiness.

"There is nothing that can give a
woman a doWdy look like wearing
dress hat with shirt waist suit, linen,
or tailor made" said a milliner the
other day, reports the Chicago Tribune
MANY girl who would not be seen with
her fiancee If he wore a straw hat with
Prince Albert coat or a silk tile with
his business suit fails to make these dis
tinctions in her own headgear The lit
tie touches that mark the difference,
however, are often so fine and vary SO
with the change of fashions, that they
are difficult to recognize except by those
blessed with the instinct Of good dress
ing A safe rule, not depending upon
the changes Of fashion, is to invariably
class lace, chiffon, tulle, ostrich feathers,
aigrettes, and everything on the bird Of
paradise order as belonging exclusively
TO the dress hat" Soft coque feathers
breasts grebe like plumage, stiff wings
quills, and birds belong only to the hat
Of the outing variety. Although the
wings OF the outing hat are put on with
chiffon bands, it Is no reason that a
made" hat Of chiffon should be worn
with a shirtwaist, as is done by many
women who ought to know better.
Just now the blocked hat Is the best
type OF the shirtwaist hat, and in this
connection is little distinction which
many girls fail to notice in regard 10
flowers A Milan straw or a blocked hat
OF any kind may be loaded with flowers
especially roses, and It is an ideal hat to
wear with a linen suit or shirtwaist
suit On the other hand, flower toque,
or flowers with tuIle or chiffon, are never
worn by any really we'll dressed woman
with this kind Of gown. Many women
also have the notion that the lingerie
hat can be worn with anything that goes
70 the laundry. Never was there
greater mistake. as II Is worn by the
woman who knows exclusively with or
candies, batistes. and summer gowns
OF such fragile creation as TO have no ac-
quaintance with Tubing. II "a entirely
a garden party or porch party hat be-
longing to the most dressy OF summer
functions, and entirely out Of place on
the street II should no more be worn
with linen, even though II is trimmed
elaborately with laces. than II should be
with a yachting suit"
