Dear Aunt Laurie:
When we were at schol the principal

to our grounds. We had a fine time.
We ate our dinner, then there was a
bali game, and then we played games
About O'Clock we went home.
On our way We would jump out and
pick berries. 1t was five miles from

A BALL GAM e

Dear Aunt Laurie:
/ am going to tell you of an ex-
citing day l had at Boyd Street
school one Monday. l felt unusually
spry that day. a
| Joined the boys in a game of
catch before the gates opened. After
a while they were opened and all the
boys went into the yard. The boys
that had their ms lined up in regular
batting order, while their opponents
took the field. The team that was
out in the field was made up of
eighth graders and the other of
seventh graders, which l was for.
The game was on and Willie was up
first. lie got a clean hit to first, and
the next boy followed with the same.
Then hit after hit was made, and
when we had to take the field we
had five runs piled up.
l was on a bench, jumping and
yelling at the top of my voice. But
was not the only one, for the
benches were full of yelling and eX-
cited boys
In about five innings the ten-minute
bell rang, and after washing and
getting a drink we started a game of
rushing. A bunch of us boys would
get in line and rush at a crowd of
boys that would be talking or play
ing marbles. Then there would be a
pile of frightened boys lying on the
ground.
We did not keep that up long, how
ever, for the bell rang and We gave
the fun up for work.

gether. The games that we had
there were swings, ball games and
many other games that the boys and
girls knew. We had very good
times. The teacher would play with
us sometimes, and we had lots of fun
with her.
There were two summer houses on
the grounds, so that the children
could eat their dinner there. Lots of
children who lived near the school
would so home for their dinner.

The committee was composed of six
girls.
We waited, and at last the day came
when we were to give her the present.
The committee told the teacher we
were going TO have program, and
asked if we might invite the fourth
grade in. She said we might invite
them. The fourth grade came up and
we had our small program. The fourth
grade liked it very much.
Just as our teacher started to let
us go, we gave her the box of bon
bons. She did not know what to say
We enjoyed it quite as much as she
did LLOYD WILLIAMS.

A FAST LESSON

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My aunt and mamma had been
teaching me at home for a long time.
They said if l went in the fourth
grade when l was years of age
they would get me something. l
worked for that.
When l was l started to school.
The teacher said 1 could go into the
fourth grade. l did not have a leaf
let, so she gave me a piece out of
her tablet. She would pronounce the
words and We would write each word
five times
She pronounced them too fast for
me, and / cried because l could not
keep up with her
The next day l cried again because
l could not keep up with her. The
third day l got along fine and every
day after that until l came out here.

a HARD PUNISHMENT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The first school l went to was
about a mile from our house, Where
there were only twenty-one pupils.
The first dav | went my cousin
went with me. There was another
girl i'm my class. There were only
five grades in the school, and my
teachers name was Miss Smith.
The first thing 1 learned in school
was to write my name. The teacher
told me not to whisper to the girl
who sat across the aisle from me. l
asked her why l couldn't talk in
school l had to stand in the corner
with nv head against the black
hoard. That was the worst punish
ment that | ever received.

A BOYS NICKNAME
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
one day last year boy had two
or three sacks of peanuts. He sat
four seats across the aisle from me.
He would throw them across the
floor, so l could not reach them;
Then l would get out of my seat and
crawl along on the floor after them.
Another boy who sat two seats
across the aisle from me would say,
Peanuts" so the teacher could hear
him. and 1 would jump up in my
seat and pretend to be studying
hard, but as soon as the teachers
back was turned l would get the
peanuts and eat them and throw the
shells down the aisle. But at re-
cess would have to pick them up
and put them in the stove.
That is how the boys came to call
me peanuts" BYRON EWING.

AN EMBARRASSING DAY
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Most everyone has to go to school
some time in their life. l started
once in the first grade, and the
teacher Miss Bell gave me a seat
about the middle of the room. l was
bashful and 1 would look at all of
the pupils and then at the teacher,
and then probably look at my book.
l kept that up for half of the day.
L expect when l was not looking
all of the pupils would look at me-
but as long as / didn't know it, it
was all right. l looked around quite
suddenly once and most all of the
class were looking at me.
1t made me feel bad, and I went
home shortly after that to get my
lunch. 1 told mamma that 1 did not
want to go to school because they
all stared at me SO. She said l must
go, anyway, and after l had gone for
a day or two they would get to know
me. Then they would not stare at
me.
1 soon got used to going to school,
and got along very nicely.

A HARD DAY
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The first day that / went to school
after papa's death was the hardest 1
ever spent. l arrived at school earlier
than usual. as l wanted some help.
l had not been there long before my
teacher came in. After talking with
me a few moments she told me that
she, too, had lost a dear one, her
mother
Just after school took up, Miss Lee
asked US one and ALL to try to help
her through the day, as 1t was her
first day back, too. We all readily
agreed to behave ourselves that day,
and in the forenoon all went exceed
ingly well for our room, but in the
afternoon things commenced to
happen.
The principal came just after lunch
and commenced to give what the
boys call "a two-cent lecture" about
throwing spitballs. Now, the boys
in our room took delight in doing
just what they were not wanted to
do, so they, as soon as the principal
was out Of the room, commenced
throwing balls.
This irritated Miss Lee, and she
soon lost her patience. After giving
the whole room a good. sound scold-
ing she left the room crying.
Recess came at last-we thought IL
never woodland with it news that
Miss Lee was too i'll to teach. All
the rest of the afternoon we girls
taking turns, went to the office on
some pretext or other, but really TO
see Miss Lee. The boys in the mean
time had taken a collection and sent
off for a bunch of flowers At half
past o'clock the flowers arrived and
school let out, much to our relief. /

she heard all, and said;

REFEREE MAKES MISTAKE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Washington's birthday the boys had
a basketball game with the Santa
Monica high school boys. The Saw
telle boys were in the lead awhile, and
at last the Santa Monica boys took
the lead. 1t was a very interesting
game to see them jump and dodge and
try to make a goal. Pretty soon both
teams were nearly even.
Sawtelle had seven scores and Santa
Monica had nine. One boy in the
Santa Monica team made a foul and
the referee did not count it. If he
had counted it both teams would be
even. The score was to H. The
home team got beaten.

our shoes and stockings off.
We were making mud puddles in
the road with our feet, when school
mate of mine stepped on my toe and
| kicked him. He kicked me back.
We would splash mud on one an
other, and then some girls went and
told the teacher She made us come
and wash our feet and take our seats
and stay in all recess.
She would ask a boy If he started
it, and he would tell her no. And
then she would ask me if | started 1t,

BrOOkhaven an Ideal Place for An
Inland CITY.

Did you ever think what an
ideal location Brookhaven is for a
fine inland city, Situated in the
healthy yellow pine region. FIVE
hundred feet above sea-level. on
the crown Of a water shed which
gradually slopes in all directions,
the natural drainage is almost per-
feet. Yet there are no hills or
deep ravines or sharp knobs to
break the almost even topography
on all sides for miles. As far as
our knowledge extends, there is
not a city or town in Mississippi,
unless it be West Ponit. which pre-
sents the natural advantages in the
way Of location for building a
tiourishing and beautiful city, that
is possessed by Brookhayen. For
any kind Of building or improves
ments. there is no necessity for
heavy grading or filing in. The
ground is suitable for building
purposes in every quarter The
streets. where not paved. never re-
main muddy long after a rain, and
when sewerage is introduced, the
natural drainage and location are
such that health conditions al
ready far above the average will
be perfect.
Citizens Of Brookhaven can afford
to talk up their town from any
standpoint. but from none better
than the one Of health and splendid
natural situation and advantages
