told how superintendent Swearingen
had helped her in her work and
wanted Sunshine put into all the
schools, and as the speakers Of the

a good time any how. Then she told
how delighted she was to see a new
school house that had taken the place
OF the one she found when she was
1T Salem seven years ago, asking the
children quite number OF questions
about schools, "Nd they pledged to
carry Out her des Tres to have pictures

which they did. Miss Shelor told Of

Then Miss Shelor told the people
present that she had invited Col.

reason he did not get there, but she

Just then Col. Watson drove up.
He had tried hard to get to the place
in time. He came too late to talk to
the people, but saw the country and
talked privately with the workers.
Col. Watson was agrccably sur
priscd TO see so much Improvement in
the country. This was his first Off
cial visit TO Oconco, and he said that
, ne was delighted; that if the men

up The county. It is an honor to have
such Il distinguished visitor here.
1t was with deep regret that Mrs
Shanklin was kept at home, and if
she had been present her heart would
have been full Of sunshine, for when
the dear little SunShiners sang "Thcre
is Sunshine in My Soul" it would in
spirc all TO work. The day was a
great Inspiration 10 the state leader.
