consisted principally of decla.

contest interpreted with music
Defamation contest for the
Mainous Medal by three boys,
Earl Kilbourn, John b. Kill
bourn and Emmett Stone. The
Judges were II. d. Baker and
Messrs Paker and Rogers. At
ter a thoughtful deliberation
they awarded the medal to
Emmett Stone. This was an
exceedingly close contest.
Recitation contest for Fuller
Brothers Medal by six girls,
Mamie Override, Matte Polly,
Margaret Simmons. Sibyl Hale,
Cordia Everidge, Anna Marie
Greer. This was thoroughly
enjoyed by all. The audience
seemed divided as to the win
ner. None seemed more sur
prised than the girl herself
when Prof. Cox, of Gate City.
in a very appropriate manner
called the name of Cordia Ever
idge. The last on the program
was a pantomine, Nearer my
God to Thee" by ten girls.
X. ID. Baker in his speech re-
marked that he had signed a
paper asking that Appalachia
be made a high school, which
interested every one truly.
We feel especial mention
should be made of our music
teacher, Miss Mary S. Chap
man. of Norton. Although
young in experience. as this is
her first school, she has Taught
the children beautifully. The
manner in which the least ones
as well as the older pupils, mas
tered their work shows tha'
her hands have not been idle
/ Nothing but words Of praise
was heard of her throughout tn
entire audience. We are hoping
she will consider returning anS
continuing the work so well be

FAnMERs 70 SPRAY.

H. L. Bolley has issued the follow
ing circular letter:
II am writing this note % q eau
ton to farmers who are preparing to
spray mustard, and kanghAadsin grain
fields by the use of3'deld sprayers.
The best results from spraying can
be obtained only when there is q
good sunshiny weather the next two
days following the spraying work.
Therefore 1t is best to consult the
weather department, and especially
to follow rain rather than spray
before an apparent one. 1t is also
possible that those who are ready
to do the work will be too anxious
and commence spraying before the
weeds are as old as they should be
to give the best results. Do not 50

jority OF the mustard plants are be-
ginning to show the arst blossoms.
that Is, they should be four Or i've

lily wiped out in one days spraying
,after all of the seeds are terminated
and before any seeds have matured
in the pods. The farmers should not
be too hasty in attacking their must
ard fields, else there may be lots of
Iseed come up after the spraying. The
same may be said to hold true with
kinghead. Hence one should spray
lust at the time when the grain and
kinghead are about Of equal eelght.

This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condition

His misfortune serves a warning
to others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspep-
STA for a few years VIII give everything
he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia Is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There IS
one element missing. The absence of
