going along nicely. The farmers
are studying their work and are
prosperous, many of u young
people r away at school and
some of them are teaching schools.
This community has furnished
more public school teachers, min
listers, professional and business
men, probably than any other

of this fact.
Some of the local items of in
terest are as follows:

stances. The committee and
many CT the patrons of the school
came out and participated in
same.
Miss Bessie Julian, one of our
bright young women, left last

ents for the pupils. This is one
of the largest Sunday schools IN
the county, and a splendid pro-
gramme will be arranged for the
occasion.
Frank M. Glover is identifying

This is what many farmers should
do. 1t is a mark of progress.
An effort is being made to have
this community put into COM
munication with the outside
world by the installation of a
phone system. Hero is hoping
that it will come.
Continued success to THE

A Horse Does Stunt.

One day last week a horse be-
longing to Mack Honbarrier began
running at the corner of Lee and
East Inniss streets 1t ran west
and took to the side walk, being
hitched to a buggy which was &C.
cupied by Mr.. Honbarrier and D..
A Hedges, of Faith, things looked
rather ominous. The jolting
threw Mr.. Honbarrier out and the
hitting of a tree started Mr..
Hodges through space, both were
somewhat bruised and shaken up,
but not seriously injured. The
horse continued up the street until
he struck the cement pavement in
front of G. S. Minors store
Here he slipped, fell and stirred
some glass ware, toy wagons and
other things which happened to
be on the pavement. Getting q
foothold again he crossed the
street and seemed to have no idea
of stopping, bot suddenly changed
his mind upon being confronted
with Saloons variety store. HIRE
he turned over a box of oranges,
a barrel of apples, broke loose
from she buggy, broke up the
shafts and stuck the end of shaft
in his front right shoulder, max
ing a bad flesh wound.
