Prof. Il. S. Dreher.

Lexingtonians always rtJolce over
the success of her sons and daughters,
but it affords us peculiar pleasure to
note the wonderful success attained
bv our friend, Prof. Ernest S. Dreher,
Superintendent Of Columbia City
Schools. AS an educator, as leader,
Prof. Dreher has but few equals III the
south. As manager of the great sys-
tenn of schools in Columbia for the
past several years, he has been dec!d-
edly successful, and each year gains
are made by the children who attend
the various schoo of the city.
On the night OF the I'D of June we
witnessed in part, the exercises oy the
graduating class in the Columbia
Opera House. This year the class
numbered 1s, and it was beautiful
sight to see the friends that gathered
together to witness the presentation
of diplomas to those who had finished
t ,e REQUIRED cour>e of study. The
house was filed to overflowing, stand
ing room being at premium.
Prot. Dreher is to be congratulated,

his watchtul eye during the session

We hope our lawyers will arrange
to keep court going through the sec
O d week. If they are not going to
do this, it is needless to put the coun-
ty to the expense and trouble OF bring
inc Jurors ard witnesses here. While
it is conceded that this is busy sea-
son with the farmers; yet we dare say
that with but few exceptions, every
Juror will have arranged his affairs at
home before leaving to be away for
the entire week. 1t will be better to
have a second week court and dispose
of as much business as possible rather
than let the cases continue TO pile up
on the already crowded dockets. We
are satisfied that our attorneys will
see the necessity of this and keep the
machinery of the court running.

name was Lloyd. Near his home there
was q wood, and he liked to run away
and play in the woods.
One day his mother told him she
was going to town and she wanted
him not to go away and leave the
things alone. Lloyd promised that ne
would stay at home. After he played
a while he got tired Of staying in
the house. and he thought:
'Oh, how nice it would be if he could
go to the woods"
He thought and thought and Won
dered what was the use to stay at
home; he did not need to stay and
watch things. He made up his mind
he would go, and away he scampered
He played by the brook and gathered
the flowers. 1t was growing dark in
the woods, so he thought he would &c
home.
AS he was going along out of one of
the side paths stepped big white
so frightened that he did not know
what to do. At last he started to
run and the ghost ran after him. AT
last the ghost had him and Lloyd
thought his end had come. The ghost
carried him to where there were lot
of other white men. They sat him
down in front of them and stared at
him.
Lloyd got so frightened that he called
for his mother, and then he woke up
and found that he had only been
dreaming.
But Lloyd thought the dream was
true and he never ran away from
home after that. Your friend,

GIRL HAS STRANGE DEFECT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 am not going to tell about some
creepy mysterious thing, but about
something that is a great deal more
mysterious to me than all disappear
ances. etc.
This story is about a small girl who
lived in the back woods of Michigan
maybe it will sound like fish tale to
my cousins, but it is true.
Elloa. for such is the girls name, is
probably about IA years old, if still
living. She was a bright, blue-eyed,
rosy-cheeked and golden-h haired girl
and had a slight, but not noticeable,
defect in her arms.
When 1 first met her l supposed she
was just an ordinary girl. but one day
we started to cut pictures out of the
magazines and then 1 saw my mistake
Elloa picked up the scissors with
her toes and cut out a picture of a
duck as well as l could noWi She
held the picture with one set of toes
and the scissors with the other set
That was not the only time she did
it, and I discovered as / became more
acquainted with her that she could
and did use her toes for everything she
did but lifting heavy things and fas-
tening her garments. She was almost
helpless in the last, as she was nearly
unable to use her arms, although she
could move them.
She not only cut pictures but sewed,
and so, Aunt Laurie, can you blame
anyone for considering her method of
working and power to do so myster,,
ious? What recalled her to my mind
was letter from friend who knows
her Your loving niece.

WALLPAPER PLAYs~eHosT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When I was small I delighted in
reading fanciful tales of ghosts and
hobgoblins. and my talented young
aunt wrote a number of these stories
for me. Every Saturday evening she
sent me some sort of story, and al
ways looked forward eagerly to them
through the week.
IT was a dark, stormy Saturday
evening. | had just finished reading
and tumbled into bed, thinking of the
ghost with the pistol of which l had
read.
| was almost asleep, when 1 was
startled by a strange sound. some
thing like a pistol shot, close to my
ear. / thought of the ghost again
and screamed for help.
My mother came to my side, and,
when L had told her of the noise,
laughed heartily and declared it a
dream.
Just then the strange noise sounded
again, My mother looked about, try
ing to discover what 1t was, but moth
ing seemed to be out of place, and she
could not find what caused it.
Every now and then the noise could
be heard, but no one could find the
cause of it.
Every stormy night we heard this
NOISE, Until my uHcle cdile 70 NlSlt 10
and we told him of it, He looked
along the wall and then pointed out
some tiny Sits in the wall paper, ex-
planning that the wind, blowing
against the wall and the paper had
cracked it, making the queer noise we
had heard so often.
l never believed so firmly in ghosts
again and came to believe that all
such ghostly noises that frighten peo-
pie arrive from some such natural
causes. LOIS WAGNER.

be haunted by ghosts. ROLAND would
not live there But he had it cleaned
up, for he was going to have a big
party there because everybody declared
there were no ghosts there.
He had invited Gregory not because
he wanted him. but because he thought
he would have to. Gregory, holding no
spite against his cousin, came.
All the guests came and they had
good time. 1t was just fifteen minutes
to twelve wher ROLAND told those who
wanted to see the ghosts to come with
him. They went to a bedroom on the
second floor. ROLAND wanted to eX-
cuse himself but they told him he had
to stay. He was so scared he did not

GHOST LEADS TO LOST WILL

Dear Aunt Laurie:
ROLAND was the owner of the big
colonial mansion at Darwood How
surprised every body was when they
heard it, for they thought Gregory was
to be the heir. They had heard old
Mr.. Darwood say many times:
Gregory is to be my heir"
But the only will (Which was an old
one) said: 81 bequeath all my prop
erty and money to ROLAND Vere."
Rolland's uncle, Mr.. Darwood, had
raised him till he was 25 and then
they had a quarrel. after which the
uncle told him never to come to him
again.
Then he wrote to his brother to let
Gregory come to him, which his brother
did Then everyone thought the uncle
made a new will. But now what had
become of it? ROLAND declared his
uncle only made the one and that he
was the heir.
Gregory's father had died and when
they settled up his estates they found
to their surprise that he had lost all
he had.
Gregory's mother lived only a short
time after the loss, so he was an
orphan and now depending on his
cousin.
ROLAND was hard-hearted and
coward besides, and he told Gregory
he would not have anything to do
with him. Gregory was the opposite
from his cousin-if he had been the
heir he would have shared with Rol
land.
The Darwood mansion was said to

GHOST is BUT A DREAM

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One night 1 lay asleep on a bench
outdoors. and thought I saw some
thing like a ghost. Oh. dear, I was
scared.
1t came closer and closer. What was
1 going to do? I thought for mo-
ment and then 1 decided to run to the
barn.
1t came running after me. 1 ran in
and shut the door, but the ghost pulled
it open.
Then it said. 81 will eat you up when
/ catch you"
1 lay down and covered up my face.
oh, dear, I thought. if I could only
get in the house. 1 opened the barn
door and slipped through his arms and
ran to the door of the house. Along he
came after me. I knocked on the door
but I could not get in.
At last he caught me. woke from
my sleep. 1 was in the house and had
been dreaming, and just because I
had eaten too much supper Your

thing in front of him. At first he
was afraid, but he still rode on. When
he came a little nearer the horse would
not go any farther. He got off the
horse and began to walk toward it.
AS he approached it, it seemed as if
something would rise and fall. Soon
he got up to it, and he found it was
only the large leaves of some plant
which were dark green on one side and
white on the other. AS the wind would
blow it would raise the white side
and then again 1t would lower.
That night when he came home all
the folks were sitting in the sitting
room telling ghost stories. He told
his experience.
Afterward he said: "If hadn't in
vestigated l would have told a story of
ghosts, too" Yours truly

COLLEGE PRANK PROVES FATAL

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once there were a lot of young men
at college. At the beginning of new
term a delicate young man was pres
ent. About a week passed without
anything happening. One night the
boys thought that they would have
some fun with this young man.
One of them proposed getting skull
and play ghost in his room. So they
got a skull and a sheet and candle.
They put the sheet over one of the
fellows head and put the skull with
the lighted candle in it on top of his
head. Then he walked into the young
mans room. He was so frightened
that he tainted on the spot. One boy
was SO scared that he ran and rang
the bell for the professor. The profess
