EXTRA TAX

The delay OF the state equalization

else board has embarrassed the board

II can act
As things look now Chickasha can
only have six months school next year
unless the people votes the board more
money Under law passed BY the
last legislature the board cannot
spend any more money IN excess Of
the tax levy for the year and Of course
will huye to shut down the schools
as soon as that Is exhausted Three
years ago the first OF last May the
schools OF chickasha began to oper-
ate under the state law and had to as
sumo an indebtedness Of the old terri
t0Flal board amounting to $4,000.
This the present board has reduced
70 $4,000. besides maintaining the
schools for the three years on the tax
levy Of five mills.
Another trouble Is that the attorney
general has given an opinion 70 tho
effect that bccraiier ffc guy school
board must pay the expense o. the
negro school which the county has
borne since statehood. This win en-
tail an additional burden OF about So
BOO for which the board must provide.
By the terms of a Law passed by tho
last legislature the board must provide
in the next tax levy for all the back
indebtedness as well as the current
expense. Il will be seen from the forc.
going. therefore. that the board Of ed.

fair from this section in spite Of the
early drouthy conditions.
The southern part Of the county will
be able to supply a great variety Of

MISSING
FOR OVER
80 DAYS
Brother Of Mrs. Greer
MySteriOuSly DiSap-
pears in Colo.


C. L. Greer of this city received a
letter Sunday morning from Colorado
Springs. stating that A. J. James, a
brother Of Mrs. Greer, has been miss
ing from his home there for the past
30 days and that no clue can be found
as to his sudden and mysterious dis
appearance.
Mr.. James is a wealthy man and
has been much interested in mining
prospects in the region OF Colorado
Springs. He was we'll to do Illinois
farmer up until few years ago when
he moved to Colorado for the health
Of his daughter. The young lady spent
the summer there before the family
moved and was SO greatly improved
in health that Mr., James decided to
locate there. The family have been
residents Of Colorado Springs the past
three years.
About ten miles from Colorado
Springs the James family own cabin
in the mountains where they spend
much time in the summer camping and
fishing. Nearly five miles beyond the
cabin is mine that has recently been
opened and the prospects for good
yield Of ore, according to reports are
fine.
The first week in July Mr. James
was spending a few days at the cabin,
He was with a party Of friends and
in making the return trip to the sta
ton from the cabin he became sepa
rated from the crowd and did not re
turn home on the same train. His
family became uneasy when he did
not return the next day and went to
the cabin iz search Of him.
Evidence that he had returned tc
the cabin was found. His ordinary
clothing had been changed for the
rough mountaineer garb. Mr.. James
had removed his Elk pin, watch feb
cuff buttons and other little persona
belongings and had left them in ths
cabin. 1t is supposed that he wen
to the cabin after finding his trair
gone and prepared himself to take ;
trip over to the mine, five miles dis
tant
No trace of his ever reaching th'
mine or of his route after leaving th'
cabin can be found. His family know
he was very much interested in tn
mine and had thought Of investigai
ing it with a view of making invest
ments.

Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1911-06-02

doctors, editors, teachers, all of
them more or less came from pow
erty and obscurity from country or
backwoods places; and by the dint
of toll, sweat, tears and experience
have risen to a position of honor.
My friends, do not be in a hurry
about the future. Commence little
and low, 60 straight forward and
slow and be sure to lay a good foun-
dation before YOU build your house
Get an eduation first of all. This
will help you more easily to get into
the mouthh of the horn. Do not
seek to avoid the tribulation of the
little neck of experience. 1t takes
time to make man or a business.
A mushroom may grow up in q
single night, but corn stalk will
only reach big and ripened ear
after a month of rain and culture.
In all ages the truly great men of
the world have been those who came
up the ladder of special training or
education, and learned their busi-
ness step by step, as they develop
ed with it. They gained their most
valuable knowledge in the crampcd
neck of experience.
On the other hand, the man who
begins his life work on large scale
without a proper foundation of
education and experience for busi-
ness undertaken is almost sure, to
fail. Parents are much disposed to
cultivate their sons and daughters
in the wrong way. They can not
bear to see their promising boy or
girl struggling through the neck of
experiences in lifes horn while they
have means to aid him.
But they should let their boy
fight with "old hard times" when
ever and wherever he is able to do
so; he is just fighting with the trib-
ulations of the little neck of ex-
perience.
Do not lead them to believe that
they can 60 through life on 'Aowery
beds of ease" Impress them with
the fact there is no royal road to
wealth, honor or worthy fame ex-
cept as every individual digs it out
and builds it for himself. Teach
them the motto, "every man is the
architect of his own fortune"
Do not despise the Gay of small
beginnings. Be patient in the bat
ties of cold hard times"
Win your laurels before you wear
them, and do not be in too much
haste. The worst phase of young
Americas character is impatience.
