Kimball school for the benefit of
friends who read the good news as
we'll as the bad.
For the last three years we have had
good teachers as far as they went MI
"Sam Sykes now comes and says that
it was the fault of the teachers, but
want him to see that it was not. There
have beeu some ''smarts" in school for
the last three years that are gone now,
and we can lay that aside. 1t was

and l will say that for II years we
have had good schools, but this year it
is Mr.. "Sykes' teacher. Do you I'M
derstandr 1t is 'his teacher" this
year.
"Our teachers had some education
and were not all ''boss" Boss is not
all there is to school teaching, my
friends. II takes somebody that knows
arithmetic as we'll as style, and our
teachers knew their business. 1t was
not all boss and style, but it was
arithmetic and such as the teachers
need to know to teach the children.
Now hope Mr.. Samuel Sykes will
get the full meaning of my note, as

Fl. Collins, Colo, Nov. II, 1911.
Dear Friends.
I thought I'd write you few lines
to tell you that my dear father passed
away last Saturday morning, Nov. II,
at 2 a. N. from heart dropsy His
death was very sudden and unexpect-
ed. Although we knew he would only
last short while we never thought he
would go so soon. He was up and
around all the time but Eddie had an
operation for appendicitis, and it was
hard on Papa, and he was so worried
about Edward, bat Ed is getting real
strong now. Papa assured us be was
ready to go to his heavenly home, was
with me two weeks, and then went
home, and was home a week when the
end came. 1t has been awful hard to
give him up but Gods way is best.
Mama will be so lonely. All the
children are in school. Please report
the account of his death to the Marion
county papers.

Judge Joe V. Williams, of Chatta-
nooga. put climax on the investiga-
ton of public roads and the workhouse
commission in that city by demanding
the summary removal or resignation OF
the three commissioners involved. 1t
seems that special committee found
some interesting history in the case,
which so incensed Judge Williams,
who is County Judge, that he created
the sensation aforesaid. This precipi-
tated lots of discussion and some init
mated that there will be other re-
searches into the management of coun-
ty Offices in toto. Anyway Williams
got what he was after, an investiga-
tion, for the three respondents will be
examined before the county court Dec.

be fireworks and oratory galore.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
dut together, and until tho last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease. and therefore requires consti-
Jutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

upon them, and the dangers they have
escaped.
