Notice to Pa.r0nS.

There seems to be a great deal of
absence from school now which may
be due to misunderstanding on
the part of our patrons. We wish
to state that the work is going for
ward as well as could be expected
under the circumstances and there
is room for all our pupils. Of course
our quarters are not as comfortable
as those we had before, but they are
sanitary and safe, committee hay
ing made thorough examination
of the building and pronounced it
safe.
In view Of these circumstances and
in view Of the fact that those who
lose this time can not keep up with
their grades next fall it will be i'm
possible for us to advance those who
do not attend school now and who
do not stand the spring term exami-
nations.

climbing trees to shake the fruit
down, when, if they would wait long
enough the fruit would fall itself.
The second was going to war to kill
each other, when, If they only wait
ed, they would die naturally, and
third was that they should run after
women, when. if they did not do so,
the women would be sure to run
after them. Globe.

The Poor Old H0rSe.

To the Editor: have been told
that Just after the war it was not an
unusual sight to see two men riding
one horse--that is the same said
horse. We of to-day, when horses
are plentiful and prosperity walks
or rides throughout the land, do not
of a necessity have to do this.
In the town of Scotland Niece there
are two Misunderstanding newsC)
but why deny it, it is true.
Scotland Neck is poor horse.
The poor old fellow has been double
ridden until he is showing signs OF
age and great physical weakness.
The trouble is, Mr.. A. says to Mr..
B., "You are riding that horse and
it is your duty to feed the poor old
fellow" NO." says Mr.. B., "while
l know what you say in part is true,
yet Notwithstanding you are furnish
ing the feed and bearing a greater
part of the expenses generally,
have another partner that must be
looked after. l cannot attend to
two poor old horses except in an ex-
ecutive way.
Narrative to be continued.)
Yes, no one will deny that the time
has come in Scotland Neck that men
men who have from boyhood
fought the battles of life, and fought
manly and well, and have builded
our town-must come to the front
and do something. We are tired
and disguised with these little petty
politics. Hardly can there be JUS
tice of the peace appointed unless he
is riding the same old horse
Scotland Neck is worth more to
its people than to forever be in such
a condition. We must build a grad
ed school building that is worthy Of
the town, as it should be. There is
politics in the schools-no need to
deny it. Yet those that have been
kicked and branded as unfit to "ride
the same old horse" are anxious to
come out on the green" and work
for a greater school building than
has even been suggested.
| Now we are soon to have q
town election. What are you go.
ing to do? We have no criticisms
now, but let's get together, mer
who have the interest of the town al
heart. Do something, and do what
is right. We have men here, scores
of them, who will make US good off
Gals. They have succeeded fo1
hamselves; they have money ane
roperty here, and what is to the
best interest of the poor old horse
will be to their interest.
While we offer no criticism, yet i
it not good to change the feed o.
this ''poor old horse? IT'S to-
much to expect him to fatten on thu
same feed.
Please allow us to suggest SOM
names to select from, and in doing
so say that there are others just a
good, possibly better, but we woult
be glad to see these men elected:

THREE CLASSES.

The Snow Hill Standard Laconic
says that every town and community
is composed Of three classes and pro-
ceeds to name them as follows:
Every community has it's shirk-
ers, jerkers and workers. T.
shirkers carefully abstain from do
ing anything to help the town and
Systematically opposes every project
designed to benefit it. They are
fossils and back numbers with which
any place may well dispense. The
jerkers usually are enthusiastic for
awhile over any new idea, but the
enthusiasm soon dies out and fails
when it is most needed. The work
ers deal with every project for i'm
provement on its merits, and when
it commends itself to their Judge
ment they push it with all their
might and intelligently until it be-
comes an accomplished fact. Ever
alert to the best interests, of their
town, and imbued with true local
patriotism they are untiring in their
efforts to promote its welfare, and
the result is seen in growth and
prosperity. tits up to every man
in this and every town to decide as
to the class he will join, and whether
he will be detriment or a valuable
asset in the community"
Let US all join the workers and
then our town and entire section
will grow.
