bright and cheerful. and was like

his devoted parents. His life here
was brief and filed with suffer

CALEDONIA DEPARTMENT

While our town and community
is growing very rapid ' ia every
other respect. our public school,
which ought to be the pride of
every heart. we are sorry TO say,
is being sadly neglected, and for
the past tveiyears il has suffered
greatly from the lack Of in ere-t
on the part OF the Patrons of
said school
Realizing this sad condition,
however, the patrons have rallied
to the cause Of education and on
the 29th inst there will be held
at Caledonia the greatest educa-
tional rally that has ever been
held in the county, and on the
programme vii. appear names of
the leading educators from diff
ferent sections of our State
We are glad to know that the
people of Caledonia have at last
decided to establish a frst-class
High School in their midst, and
the object of this rally is to give
to the people of this section an
opportunity to hear discussed by
men who are IN position to
know whereof they speak, the
ways and means of building
up a High School in a rural
district. and al the same time
giving TO the many advan
tages that a high school has over
the average country school.
In order to build up a first
class High School in Caledonia it
may become necessary to con-
solidate a few of the smaller
schools within a radins of from
two to three miles of Caledonia
with our school, and we do not
hesitate to say, that ia our opin-
ion, this is what will and ought
ought TO be done. 1t will also be
necessary to erect a modern, up
to-date school building, and we
think the character of building
that would best be suited for US
would be a two story brick
veneered building, somewhere
in the neighborhood of fifty feet
square. containing one large audi
forum or chapel hall, which could
also be used for public meetings
of different kinds, on the upper
floor, and lower floor to be divided
into four or five recitation rooms,
as the occasion may demand.
Such a building would cost about
81, 500, just one third more than
a frame. building this size would
cost, and we can depend upon
the county giving Us dollar for
everyone that we raise by private
subscription, and there will be
an effort made at the proper time
to get a handsome donation to
this fund.
It is expected that every one
living within six or eight miles
of Caledonia will be present on
this occasion, which promises to
be the greatest, in point of at
tendanc. that has assemble in
Caledonia in the past ten years.
and we hope it will be convenient
for all to bring dinner. The
public in general IS most cor
daily invited to DE present, and
to you, Mr.. Editor, do we extend
a special and most cordial invi-
tation to come out and be With Us
on this occasion.

With a double daily mall from

four rural free delivery routes
leading out from Caledonia, de-
,ivering the daily mail at the
door of nearly every home with
IN d radlns of eight miles of Gale
donna. the good people of this
section are now enjoying better
mail facilities than the citizens
of many railroad towns whose
population is ten times that of
Caledonia enjoy.
1t has been suggested that our
Street Com missioner go before
the Board of Supervisors on the

stand, will be about the middle
of July. Everyone subject to
street duty will be expected to
put in the full ten days required
by law.
Invitations have been received
here to the marriage of Mr.. Viii
liam Walter Caldwell to Miss
Hattie Josephine McClanahan,
both of Columbus. which happy
event will be solemized at the
home of the bride at $50 p. N.
on the 28th inst. Walter is one
of the many Caledonia boys That
have gone out from US who we
are indeed proud of. The pros
pective bride is to be congratu-
lated in having captivated the
heart and hand of such a sober,
moral, industrious and religious
young man as we know Walter
TO be. We take this method of
extending to them in advance our
most hearty congratulations and
we wish for them long and
happy married life.

to the people of this community
will be that of Mr.. Clearance Har
