Mr.. perintendent Of Education. |
think you ought to call meeting Of
the girls and organize them into a
club of some sort, because some of
our girls think they could raise as
much corn on an acre as any boy can.

sewing club.
The Southern Railway Company
has laid new side track here. Rich
land Is growing so fast that we had
to have a new depot, and the next
thing will be a hotel. Close on the
heels of this will be an oil mill. We
hope this will necessitate bank, and
then things will begin to hum and
get busy, and a high school will nee
essarily follow.
We are glad to see our sister towns
waking up to the matter of good
roads. Richland stands head in road
improvements. In the last two
years the hill near the old Stribling
place has been circled with good
grade; the J. p. Stribling hill has
been gone around and made easy:
the Foster hill has been graded and
filled in to great advantage; the Dri-
YER hills are no more, as splendid
grade has been made with Southern
exposure; the Werner hill is thing
nf bn
we Will be done. Whether we move
the Court House to ltichland, or go
to the Court House at Walhalla. we
need better grade around the Rock
Springs at the gin. If we move the
Court House here it will have to come
down this hill, and two feet oui OF
the main drive would tilt the whole
thing into a great hole and break
half the records and demolish the
magn. tcent structure. SO, city faith
crs, powers that be, and County
Board, draw your wise heads to-
gethcr and circle this ugly hill with
a modern graded road, as without 1t
our chances for the Court House
would be slim, for we could not Dossi-
bly, hold 1t back coming down this
steep hill. stick peg and work
