TEMPE
INFORMAL DANCE
 PROVES 4 SUCCESS
Party of Tempe Young People Enjoy
 Delightful Evening

The young people of Tempe gave social dance in the Cosmopolitan hall Saturday night and so short was the dance that there were no others in attendance aside from themselves A rumor has been in circulation for the past week that somebody was going to give a dance but who that some body was no one seemed able to find cut. Finally on Thursday seven or eight of the young men got together and tried to make arrangements for the event in order that those who had their heart set upon going would not be disappointed The plan fell through again, though. it was thought for the last time. At last on Sat urday evening however some enthu- siastic party took hold of the affair and made it a point to see each gen. tleman in person if they would not hack him in the matter. That is how the dance really happened to come off.
 With the use of the two telephone lines those in charge were able to scare up a very good sized crowd while some of their partners made arrangements for the hall. music ice water and whatever else was neces- sary. By nine o'clock everything was in readiness and the three hours l of enjoyment commenced. The wei known Spanish orchestra of this 1 place was engaged to render the mu- ] sic and they did so in a most cred 1 itable manner. By the time the eve | ming was half passed a crowd tha l just about suited the size of tho | room had gathered making it almos | impossible for anyone in attendance ! to escape the enjoyment of one O
 the best times they had experiences
 in some weeks.
 The young men are now seriousl, | thinking of giving another dance il | the near future and make some prep | aratiOns for it. The one Saturda, | night proved such a success Whel considering the length of the tim
 in which it originated, that those il charge are confident a future on will draw a much larger crowd.

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES
Mr. Pety Hill Suggested the Idea,
 But Suddenly Changes His Mind.

Tt is this way said MT. Piety Hill. We have simply got to cut down expenses. There are no two ways about it. I was running over my bank account last night and it be- gins to look like an unexpected event that forgotten to happen. We have got to cut out lot of monkey busi- ness. There are your bridge parties, lf'rinstance."
 "An right agreed Mrs. Hill, "Tll cut them out, absolutely. Anything else?'
 Yes, those little pink teas you give every week or so set me back about fifteen dollars a throw" All right. No more pink teas Anything else?"
 Don't you suppose you can cut down on your dressmaker's bills?'

rNvENTloN OF THE EVIL ONE

It has been said that backache is an invention of the evil one to try Women's souls.
 Not so. Backache is a symptom of some serious trouble which sooner or later declares itself, either kidney trouble or some female derangement
 Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound may be relied upon to go to the root of the trouble and quickly relieve this most distressing symp- tom.
 Nearly forty years of unparalleled success proves it's value in conquer ing female ills.

CHILDREN'S DAY

On Sunday morning at l 1 clock
the Methodist Sunday School OBJ
served Children's Day, and the
church was filled to it's full seating
irg capacity.
While not more than a third of
the children of the school took part
in the service, nearly all were there
to help make up the audience.
Those who had been assigned parts
on the program were we'll drilled
and did we'll.
The program consisted of mu-
sic and appropriate recitations by
the little folks, with a selection or
two by the the choir.
The feature of special interest to
many and introduced by the pastor
for the first time here, was the
baptism of infants as a part of the
program. Six little fellows were
presented by their parents-Mr.
and Mrs. c. W. Trimble, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. B. Jones, Mr.. and Mrs.
T. H. Slaven, Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin

the presentation being made by a
little girl, previously selected-one
for each baby and standing in
line in front of the altar.
The usual collection was taken
and was in excess of any ever re-
ceived on former occasions of the
kind. amounting to little more
that twenty-five dollars.

County School Board Meets

SouAIy oSlloo1 DSoA
The County School Board, Chair
man Grattan Payne presiding, met
in annual session on Monday at the
court house. All the members OF
the Monterey District Board were
present and the clerks of the other
two districts. The meeting was
primarily for settlement with the
treasurer, and, while the exact tig-
ures will not appear until the pub
lished report is made, it is under
stood that the school work in the
county is in healthy financial state
and presents an encouraging out
look.
An important matter taken up at
the meeting was that of converting
the Monterey School into a County
High School, thus securing to all
the districts equel rights to the
benifts afforded by such a school
length of term, four-year course,
extra teacher in High School de-
partment. Stonewall not being in
shape 70 enter the union" at this
time, Bluegrass and Monterey form
ed the agreement, leaving the way
open for stonewall to join later.
The advantages of the change have
been recently pointed out and are
understood and appreciated by most
of the people interested. 1t is I'M
questionably an important step
along educational lines inthe county,
and praise, which the school trustee
seldom hears, should be accorded to
the Board.
On the evening of the same day,
the Monterey Board transacted
some business pertaining to this
district. The agreement by which
the Monterey High School will
again have the services of Mr.. Ster-
rett as principlewill meet the APPROX
al of patrons and pupils so far ar we
have heard any expressions of opin-
ion at all, and the Board has done
we'll to secure him. The rest of the
1911 faculty, as previously stated
in these columns, was reelected at
former meeting.
Among the teachers assigned to
country schools, and we believe all
the assignments so far made, are:
Forks of Water Graded School, w.
A. Colow and Miss Bonnie Seybert;
Stony Run, MISS Amelia Otepnen-
son; Woods Terry, Miss Rosie Wise
man; Vanderpool, Miss Hile; Big
Valley, Russell Buzzard.
Owing to the fact that no suitable
site has yet been secured, the Board
has not let to contract the build
ing of the new school house on Dry
Branch. However, the funds are
in hand, and the patrons will no
doubt hasten the matter by making
any concessions and compromises
that may be necessary, yielding to
the judgement of the Board and
giving It hearty cooperation.
