School, does the board of this
district stop to consider that If
such a department is provided for
the white children a similar
must be placed at the disposal of
the colored children? Or, if not
that, the latter must be permitted
to attend at the room set apart for
the whites of the same grade?
That such is the law in the case of
public schools made and provid-
ed, is contented by some who are
better versed in the disentangle-
ment of legal intricacies than l.
Everybody in the Arcadia VAL
ley is cordially invited to attend

sured to those who attend. An
important public question will be
discussed also. Come, bring
your family and your friends.
MISS RINGo,
Miss SHANE,
Teachers.
/ have heard complaint from
several persons relative to the
heating-or, rather, lack of proper
heating-of the public school
rooms. They claim that their
children have contracted severe
colds; that windows on either side
have been raised, giving drafts of
cold air through the rooms, and
that in consequence sudden and
great change in their temperature
resulted. With the establishment
of the new system of heating, this
should be avoided, and / promise
will be when the regulation of the
furnace is better understood.
In the REGISTER of November
Both, apperred the following para
graph in the :Des Arc correspon-
dence: "Roadmaster Boyer passed
here last week counting the rotten
ties. He says it will take 1000 ties
every mile between Piedmont and
De Soto and they will be put in
this winter. He says the fast
trains time is cut to 80 miles an
hour for fear of broken rails"
Mr.. Boyer called on us yesterday
and emphatically denied that he
had made such statement to the
correspondent, Isaac" If he has
been misquoted or misunderstood,
| regret it. The question of what
he said is between him and
"Isaac," who is not unfriendly
toward railroad men.
Pennington people were in
terested in the announcement
published in last Saturdays st.
Louis Globe Democrat, of the en-
gagement of Joseph Lee Parks,
formerly a young business man of
Pennington, now located in New
York, to Mrs. Maude Edgar Zurich,
widow of the late Lieut.. Anton
Smith of the U. S. Army. Mrs.
Zurich was formerly Miss Maude
Edgar, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. R. Edgar. of Ironton. She and
Mr.. Parks were sweethearts before
her marriage to Lieut.. Zurich,
The wedding will occur in st.
Louis in January. Mr.. Parks was
formerly interested in the saddlery
and harness business in Farming
ton with the late George Eisen-
berg.-Farmington News.
The Art Exhibit and entertain
ments given at the public school
last week commanded large at
tendance. The pictures we're
copies of paintings by the masters,
and the three days given to their
study were all too short. The ex-
ercises by the pupils and the
larger folk who gave kindly as
sistance to the entertainments
were worthy the many auditors
present each night. The proceeds
from the small admission charged
will be used to embellish the
rooms with suitable pictures,
Apart from this, the "getting to-
gether' of the citizens induced by
the project was we'll worth the eff
forts of its directors. The REGIS.
TER wishes there we're more ten
dency in this community to puI
aside self and selfish interest, tc
the betterment of social condi.
tons. No man can live for him
self alone without ignoring the
best there is in life.
AS a rule no person likes tc
have a doctor prescribe for them,
for the very thought of taking
medicine is distasteful. But this
rule was reversed the other day
when Rev. A. S. Cocker, pastor OF
the Methodist church, received a
prescription through the mai
from DR.. A. HI. Horn. He, too,
dislikes the taste of medicine, but
this particular prescription was
greatly relished by him and the
doctors directions we're followed
to the letter. To a regular pre-
scription blank was pinned a five
dollar bill, and the directions were
to use as needed. This is a pre-
scription other people can follow,
and the only thing necessary tc
accomplish the act is to loosen
your purse string. DR.. Horns ex-
ample is a commendable one
and is in keeping with the liberia
spirit Of the man so evident In
his past life.-SteeluilIe Ledger.
