the capital of the State, and it IS ex-,

We have only one suggestion to
make to the school trustees in re-
building our school house, and that is
to build good one. The best isnone
too good for our children, and we
want an adequate building one that
will not only be an ornament to the
city, but it should be large enough to
serve our purposes for several years
to come. Build for the future as well
as the present. This is our. desire
above all else. True we think it was
q serious mistake to put the building
at the present location in the first in
stance, butwe shall not complain if it
is built back there. However, if any
number of our citizens start move
ment to change the location, such a
proposition will have our hearty sup
port. Suppose it does take money,
it is better to make the change now
than to have our educational in
terests suffer. We must look to the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber, and if the building is at present
inconveniently located for a majority
of the pupils and patrons, it should
be moved to a more central part of
the town, provided a suitable site
can be secured. What we want to
do in Bamberg is to forget our per-
sonal interests and look solely to the
good of the community generally.

According to some Of the scores this

not to turn around and wallop an un-

doomed as the greatest gridiron ma

q young American girl struggling to
make both ends meet in the west. This
season she takes the shape Of trained
nurse.
The Joy Of living is what Mrs. Pat
rick represents, and as played by Lau-
"a Nelson Hall this emotion splendidly
sways the character. There are whole
someness, a breadth ,of style and q
sympathetic quality in the acting OF
Miss Hall that make her an ideal Sc
lection for this particular role.
Planted In the midst Of cantanker-
GUS and brooding family, the mother
of which lies an invalid upstairs and
the father Of which Is not much more
than a parcel Of bones, Mrs. Patrick
shakes up the FIRE In the first act,
shoves cushion In the small Of the.
masculine parents back and starts In
generally not only to bring order out
Of chaos, but sunshine out OF the depth
Of melancholy.
She has much to contend with. Moth
er and father have already been mem
toned. Son is a weakminded, high
ball drinking youth, and daughter is a
hysterical matinee girl, who will prob
ably be all right when she grows up.
Then there is Dudley Birmingham, q
polished villain with inky black hair,
who, before the action Of the play
begins, has ruined Mrs. Patrick's
friend, Miss Chrissy Heath, disclosed
In the third act as weak and inane
enough for any man to twirl around
his finger with the utmost speed limit.
Others are Pauline Shank, coarse
and vulgar young lady who, talks loud
and long without saying anything; Ma
ria, an Irish servant who chatters In
the same yacuous vein, and Eleanor
Lawton, the daughter OF the family,
SO suspicious of everything and every
body that one almost fears she sus-
poets herself.
Itmay be readily surmised, therefore,
that the coming Of Mrs. Patrick is a.
welcome relief both to the personages
in the cast as well as in the audience.

Melville Stewart, who has hitherto
been conspicuous in musical comedy,

Last Friday ended the second
school month of the present session.
The following pupils have been pres
ent every day: Grace Moore, Earle
Jones, Genie Ramsey, Louise Wester-
lund, Daisy Westerlund, Mamie Ehr-
hardt, Robbie Hughes, Leon Ramsey,
Harry Copeland.
The subject for Monday morning
talks for the third month is kind
ness.
The trustees have insured the
school building for $500 at a cost Of
S24, which amount pays for the in
surance for three years. This is
good business judgment. School
buildings frequently burn. It's bet
ter to have fire insurance and not
need it, than to need it and not have
any insurance.
Thirty-fve friends of the school
have joined the Larkins' club, pledg-
ing themselves to take the $40 worth
of household supplies that have al
ready been ordered. The primary
room will get a drum for their pre-
MUM, and the advanced pupils have
selected large dictionary. We de-
sire to thank all the members of this
club who are thus making it possible
for the school to procure this needed
equipment without resorting to the
unpleasant task Of begging. Each
member will get full value for every
cent subscribed. We desire to state,
however, that the supplies will come
by freight, aid as freight travels
very slowly at this season Of the
year, it may be three weeks or a
month before your order is deliver
ed, so don't become impatient.

AMERICA 70 YEARS AGO

In 1S31 the American people
were free, but they held in their
hands the landtools of slaves. They
had to labor and sweat in the fields,
with the crude implements that had
been produced by ages of slavery.
For two generations the slckles, falls
and wooden plows with which they
had tried to build up a prosperous
republic had held back agricultural
progress. Let US try to reconstruct
mentally the America of those days
Enterprise was not then nation
al characteristic. The few men
who dared to suggest improvements
were prosecuted as enemies OF socis
ty. The first iron plows were said
to poison the soil, railroad was torn
up. The frt telegraph wires were
cut. The first sewing machine was
smashed. And the first man who
sold coal in Philadelphia was chas.
ed from the state as swindler.
Even the railway was dangerous
,tey. The telegraph was still dream
Hn the brain of Morse. John Deere
chad not invented his steel plow nor
Howe his sewing machine, nor Hoe
his printing press. There were no
stoves nor matches nor oil lamps.
Petroleum was peddled as a medi-
cine atSI bottle. Iron was SIS a
ton. Money was about as mining
stock are today; and all the savings
In all the banks would moi now buy
the chickens in Iowa.
The total exports amounted to no
more than we paid last year for
diamonds and champagne. Chi
cago was twelve family village.
