ChiIdren's Day at Littleby.

At 10:30 the school marched in
to music played softly by the or
ganist, Mrs. Morris, the infant
class leading and one of each
class carrying a banner with the
numbers of the class. Prayer was
offered by our pastor, Mr.. Smith.
The words of welcome by Raymond
Shook were very appropriate aud
distinctly heard by all in the over
crowded house.
The songs, though not all new,
were we'll sung and very much en-
joyed. One very pretty song was
rendered by class of boys and
girls. A duet by Beulah and Fan
ny Shook was sweetly sung.
A beautiful feature was a rose
drill by s young girls from Mrs.
SnoOk's class.
There were recitations by differ
ent children and young girls and
they all rendered their parts well.
Several deserve special mention
from the manner in which they re-
cited.
Our Co. School Commissioner,
Prof. S. 7. Davis, spoke for
several minutes.
Our PASTORS address was very
brief, but announcement was
made that he would preach TO the
children on next third Sunday.
Little Clyde Weaver told us
about the collection in a pretty
little "speach," which was taken
up while the graphophone played.
The morning was perfect and the
prettily decorated house. with the
dear young faces, all in front and
nearly all the girls in white, made
an impressive picture for the
friend who very much enjoyed it
all to carry home with her.

The hope of the country rests
upon the common people. Every
man must assert his individuality.
An integral part of the govern
ment, he has a right to make him
self heard and felt. Every sane
man has a mind, can reason, Judge,
will and do. Each man can in
vestigate and understand the
right method of government if he
wills to. It is very simple. Hon
esty and fair dealing is all there is
in good government. Common
honesty and justice are the safe
guards of liberty. We have need
to study men more than measures.
The honest man will not even steal
when he could. We must select
men for office who are hon est
from principle, and not from pol
icy; who will do right whether
popular or not.
