BuRLlNGToN's HOME COMING.
a characteristic of Burlington peoA
pie Is their loyalty to their home
town. No matter how far he may roam
your Burlingtonian still registers
from the old home. And this is as 1t
should be. Just now the Burlington
residents who have wandered away to
other fields are turning their thoughts
back to the Orchard city There is to
be home coming week, a general
gathering of old friends. The COM
mtttee In charge has sent out this no.
tice OF the forthcoming event:
Burlington. Iowa, the first territorial
capital, will observe the seventy-flfth
anniversary of the settlement OF the
town with SPLENDID celebration, Sep
TENDER 8 to 15. The event has been
designated Home Coming Week"
and thousands Of invitations have
been sent to former residents of the
city, welcoming them back to the old
home town for a week Of pleasure.
The general public is also cordially in,
Vited to come to Burlington and take
part IN the great celebration. A SPLEEN
did series Of striking features has been
arranged for the entertainment OF the
thousands Of people who will be at
tracted to Burlington, for the Old
Home Week. The great Mississippi
river will be the soene Of magnificent
water carnivals. there will be great
parades, large number of bands,
monster gatherings at beautiful Grape
Park and other events too numerous
TO mention. The week will open with
Old Settlers Day, Tuesday will be
Fratenal and Military day, Wednesday
Des Moines County Day, Thursday
Mississippi River Day, Friday Indus
trial and Commercial Travellers Day,
Saturday School Children's Day and
Sunday Church Day.
And no matter how far the former
residents have to come for the celebra.
ton, they will be well repaid. They
will meet old friends who have also
moved far away, many perhaps they
have not seen since their childhood
days. And they will be given warm
greetings, too, by the friends who re-
manned at home. every one Of whom

TIE COURIER'S REPLY

1t takes considerable space To
tell of what we consider as poor
policy and weakness on the part of
the School Board; and, from the
numerous letters and personal as
.surances of help" and informa-
ton on the subject, we don't be-
lieve there is much chance of in
furiating our readers with the dis
cusSion.
We admitted in our article of
July II, 1905, that the Committee
of the County Board made the
academy Lot sale, instead of the
Battletown Board, as we had
thought on July ). But, as two
thirds OF the Battletown Board
were also members of the commit
tee, it was very easy to make the
mistake.
If the bid of James w. Foley
was to be refused because the Com
mittee understood he was bidding
for Lizzie jackson, the bid Of
Fanny Massey should also have
been rejected, if dark skin was
to play any part in the refusal.
The highest attendance IN the
Principals room at any time this
year was)NINE, and the highest
attendance in his assistants room
was SIXTEEN. But that did not
prevail very long. That gave a
total maximum attendance of
Twenty-Five. Last year the total
maximum attendance lacked one
or two of being as great as twenty
five.
We remember time when
clothing, groceries, house-reats,
fuel (and many other things re-
quired for the health and comfort
of school teachers, as well as other
people) were a great deal cheaper

Captain EndeTS Reelected

At the meeting of the Berryville
Fire Company last Friday night,
Capt. John II. Enders was re-elect-
ed for another year, after he had
expressed a willingness to relin-
quish the Captaincy and not stand
for reelection.
The members of the Company re-
fused to listen to the proposed
withdrawal of their doughty cap
tlan. and reelected him.
The other officers elected for the

tenant, Guy Shackleford; third lieu
tenant, Norvell Waters; treasurer,
5 +. Baughman; secretary, Chas.
w. Marks; chaplain, Walter Shry-
ock; surgeon, DR.. III. NJ. Crow.
The treasurer's report showed
the company to be in excellent
financial condition.
Treasurer Baughman is one of
the most pains-taking, conscienti-
Gus and careful officers in the COM
mand, and his scrupulous accounts
OF all the funds of the organization
deserve the appreciation of all.

the company some time during the
summer, but the details have not
yet been perfected.
