A Trip to the Rockies.
e Editor of the Star:

To the Editor of the Star:
 Dear Sir:-Will give a briel sketch of recent western trip, which may be of interest 10 some of yonr readers. We left Mena July 25 and arrived at Kansas City, where we boarded a Uuion Pacific train and started on the 21-hour run for Denver. This route carried us up the famous Kaw river, through those great fields of Kansas corn and wheat, by Lawrence, Topeka and Fort Riley, where we learned that 5000 of Uncle Sam s troups arc usually stationed.
 Late in the afternoon we reached the great plains, where in the vast expanse earth and sky seem to meet in the great un- known beyond human sight. We reached Ellis, Kas., about s p. m. aud after brief stop for supper, continued the journey.
 Morning found us still rolling over the plains, but soon the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies came into view, and at 7:30 a. m we reached Denver, where we went to attend Bible Students convention. Here we met about o50 delegates from mauy states, We also had the opportunity ol seeing Denver with its many solid brick and stone, it's fine car ser vice and thousands of automo. piles, also its $3,b00, ,O00 state capitol one mile above the sea.
 After four days in Dedver, we started for home, reaching Mena August 1, glad to get back tc Mena and Polk county and tc meet the loved ones awaiting us at the station. We were soon at home to resume the everyday duties of the farm.
 With good wishes to The Star and it's readers, l am,
 Very Respectfully,
 Stephen Bates.

Dallas Schools.

The average daily attendance IS 97. The enrolment is but 50 per cent of the enumeration-a sad commentary upon the lack of interest in the district.
 Prizes for best average in spell. ing have been awarded the fol lowing pupils during the month Fannie Wise, Vivian Lawrence. Ransom Lawrence, Sherman Langdon, Winnie Watkins, Ivy Lawrence, Grace Jefferson and Julian Lawrence.
 Penmanship is being taught systematically and good results are being secured by insisting up- on heater blackboard and paper work in the regular daily recita- tion. The school is unconsciously adapting itself to daily written examinations Tn which capitaliza- tion, spelling, punctuation, con- position aud arrangement of work is specialized.
 Decoration day for the school IS creating much interest among the girls who are bringing in some fine pictures, engravines. charts, etc, in anticipation of almost covering the bare walls with parlor ornaments. Why not have tine county examiner appoint a day for this purpose, in which all the schools of the community may take part. If this be oD- tained annually much pride can b. developed, and the schools made more inviting to the indif- ferent.
 The little problem about the live dollar transaction of Mr Petty's developed many strange views as to the correct solution not only among the pupils, but among the patrons as well. xxx.
