cation but push on up over the
mountains. 1t was a most inter
esting address.
There we're seventeen girls aud
three boys in the class. President
S.P. Emmons of the School Board,
in presenting the diplomas, said
the situation made him feel sorry
he wondered where are the boys,
aud il the girls ever want hus-
husbands where, of even steel, are
they going to get themf The boys
are losing great things by not re-
naming in school.

The staple crop Is cotton. Corn

This year the small grain was de-
