All the southern democrats would OPP
pose such recommendation, as would
many from the north. The leading spir-

would also oppose it, as they did last

our attention to the fact that Watauga
Avenue was in very good condition be
fore the street car line was built. In
the general uptearing of things why
not call attention to the fact that the

that the street has never been replaced
in as good condition as found? Is
there any valid reason why this should
not be attended to? Another thing.

Petty thieving has begun again at the

great shock to have your boys arrested
as thieves. The gang who persistently
lay out of school, day after day, carry

when suspended, taking their books
and pretending to their parents they
are in school, are studying more kinds
of meanness than you know, and fitting
themselves fast for a criminal career.

pany their petted scions were keeping.

this week from two different schools at
least, and think from three. It is
time something was done, and at home

parents do something others will have
to protect their property from danger
of fire by cigarette smokers. The
school laws are strict enough, but
teachers can not do thing where, if
boy is caught 'laying out" the parents
excuse him. Who is responsible? Do
not be surprised if your boys are ar
rested for lettering around other peo-
Pies property, as the limit is about
reached. Some are afraid to complain
to the parents for fear the boys will re-
taliate by burning their property, and
they migot be such nice boys, with q
little of their zeal directed in the right
way. The boys will surely bring you
sorrow if you do not do something
and at once. Most of the boys have
been kindly warned. This is to par
