Ready for High
School Opening

The principal of the new county high
school, Prof. w, f. Moore, and County
superintendent j. w. Kerns are hard
at work preparing for the opening of

arrangements so that the school work
may go smoothly from the first.
1t is expected that from 20 to 25
pupils will be enrolled the first week

number reaching only 16 the second

from 60 to 20.
The new school starts with good
equipment of furniture, maps and

Do opposites Mate Wellp
From Woman's Life.


Should those of opposite character mater
is question that has been frequently
asked. and to which we reply, Yes, they
should, and often do so most successfully.
In fact some think 1t is almost a necessity
to avoid monotony for two persons who
are going to spend their lives together to
have opposite characters. This is speaking
generally. but it is highly desirable that
this dissimilarity does not cause friction.
1t would be extremely unwise, for instance.
for one to be refined and cultured and the
other coarse and brusque. The one would
be a continual irritant to the other and the
coarseness OF the one would inevitably
drag the other down. No. the contrast
must not be too pronounced, not so much
SO as to cause onlookers to exclaiin, How
could she marry that mani. or he that
woman, as the case may be.
Married persons undoubtedly have
great influence one on the other. and IL
one has few angularities or pecuiarties
they are frequently softened and toned
down by the other one. The old saying OF
two heads being better than one Is never
truer than in married life, and in the great
crises Of life two opinions from opposite
characters are very valuable

Pruning Trees.

II pruning was not done early in the sea-

your trees to waste large amount of thei.
energy on the development OF unnecessary

The Inverted Rake.
From Harper's Weekly.


There IL a man in Pittsburg who will be
married in q short while. and occupy
the house a few rooms Of which he has
used during his bachelor days. He takes
the greatest pleasure In showing his inti-
mate friends about the place. and il espe-

photographs Of actresses are stuck about
the chimney glass: q shelf OF beer-Steins
runs all the way around the room. and a
few feminine gloves. handkerchiefs and
fans are scattered about.

The Busy Bee.
From the Philadelphia Record.

When you eat spoonful Of honey you
have very little notion as to the amount
OF work and travel necessary to produce It.
To make one pound Of clover honey bees
must deprive $1,000 clover blossoms Of
their nectar. and to do this requires 2. 100. :
600 visits to the blossoms by the bees
In other words. one bee to collect enough
nectar to make one pound OF honey must
go from hive to flower and back 2, 750 000
times. Then when you think how far these
bees sometimes fly In search of these clover
fields, oftener than not one or two miles
from the hive. you will begin to get q small
idea of the number Of miles one Of the in
dustrious little creatures must travel in
order that you may have the pound of
honey that gives them SO much trouble.
II may also help you to understand why
the bee II unamiable enough to sting you
II you get In Its way. When one has to
work 30 hard to accomplish so little, it is
quite irritating to be interfered with
