The school is progressing nicely under
he able management of Miss Jennette Blu
chanan.
Teachers, patrons and pupils were
greatly inspired by Miss Graham at the
meeting of the school Improvement asso-
citation at Pisgah, and are undertaking
a number of improvements which will
add much TO the appearance and COM
fort of the building and grounds.

LEEsBURG.

People in this community are getting
very anxious about rain, so stock and cat
tie can have plenty of water.
The cotton picking is fast coming to a
close here. People have been very busy
during the last week picking out the
last of this years crop.
The health in our community is, and
has been, fairly good thus far, except
a very severe cold from which a great
many have suffered no little.
On account of sickness, Prof. Stewart,
who was almost forced to discontinue his
work in the school room, but who is now
convalescent, reluctantly called in the
concert, which was to have been given
at the school hall last Thursday evening.
Miss Eula McLemore, our primary
teacher, accompanied by Lee and Lou
Noel, returned Sunday afternoon from a
visit to her home at Pulaski. All report
an exceedingly pleasant trip.
! Quite a number of our citizens, with
their families, attended the beat meeting
of the School Improvement Association
at Pisgah on the 10th inst, as result
of which there seems to have been quite
deal of interest aroused in them
A meeting Of the patrons and pupils
of our school was called by Prof. Stuart
the last Thursday afternoon. The purpose
of the meeting was to arouse an interest
in our people along the line of school
improvement, and we were not disappoin-
ted in our efforts, for we organized our
school improvement association with a
membership of forty-five. With the start
we have we have great hopes of wonder
full improvements within the next four
months. Mrs. Laura Moore was elected
president of the association, and Miss
Ola Walsh, secretary; and with their
earnest and faithful efforts, we believe
we are going to realize great things in
the near future
Mr.. Willie Walsh returned Saturday
from hunting expedition to Pearl river
swamp. He left for the swamp Thursday,
accompanied by Mr.. Henry Measles and
others. They report a splendid hunt, and
from the abundance of squirrels brought
back, we judge that their expenition was
not in vain.
We are glad indeed to welcome into
our midst Miss Annie Martin, of Sand
Hill, who will enter our school Monday.
The box supper, given by the young
ladies at the school hall Thursday even
ing for the benefit of our library, was
complete success. It was well attended
and enjoyed by all. All of the bovss
were sofa land sold rapidiyl; aud es--s
enc who bought cns Of those boxes, f.'',
with the most de.tart foods, by he faith
full hands of our young ladies, was more
than pleased.

auIpEPosTs ON ROADS.

r n some New England States they are reviving
i the ouideboard on country roads. AT every
fork of the road is a signpost which gives III
ciear black letters a list of towns almost as long
as rairOSd time table These guideposts are
,er, helpftHl hoth to the ordinary driver and TO
yhe automobilist As a matter OF TACT the auto
,eobile associations are chiefly responsible for
- numerous euideposts. The motorists are
new class of Travellers unfamiliar with the roads,
and the guideposts are of direct benefit TO them.
Farmers and others familiar with the neighbor-
hoods those who travel only short distances
do not need the post.
Guideboards areC good things and they
should be established in every county. Neigh
boring counties in Pennsylvania have them so
that a person who is stranger in those parts
does not have to stop to ask a Pennsylvania
the direction 10 this or that place. But even
the euideboards in Chester and Delaware coun-
ties are not so complete or attractive as they
should be And they are not so frequently met
with as the man who collects toll, for a toll
keeper in some parts Of Delaware county seems
to be constantly before you.
In New Castle county there arc a few guide
posts and boards here and there, some erected
bv merchants for advertising purposes Others
bv automobsts and others by the county. II
would be we'll 10 have a system of guideboards
throughout the county In the lower part OF
the county such guideboards are seldom If ever
seen. The consequence is that strangers have
much difficulty and often lose much time in
travelling whether in automobile or III other We
hicle And the travel of strangers IN Delaware
Is greatly increasing with the rapid development
Of the automobile as a factor in locomotion.
Our recollection is that in Kent and SUSSEX
counties few guideposts are seen. Every coun
tv should have these guideposts as they add tc
the appearance Of the road and also help ths
stranger.
