The Hearts of Pickens Stirred,

Mr.. Editor: The good Lord removed

transplanted it among those already

The dear old mother was counting the
hours when she would again clasp her
darling baby child to her breast, and
hear the gladstone voice again. 1t was
this way, Mr.. Editor: This bright young
girl, who was only twenty-five years OF
age, chose as her lifes work the duties
of trained nurse-the alleviating o.
suffering and the sick room as her fu-
ture home. Of course she must go into
training. so more than year ago the
trunk was packed, the family and
friends came to the depot TO say good
bye and bid God-speed t. her in her
chosen vocation.
Time rolled on and the sweet missivess
of love would come often to bless and
cheer the hearts of the loved ones at
home. Especially were these mlssiVeS
looked for and longed for by the dear
old widowed mother, whose heart was
stayed on her baby child. But this could
not last always, and there came letter
bringing the sad news that the dread
disease, appendicitis. had taken hold
and that an operation would be neces-
sary to save her life. 1t was sad news
rto the fond hearted mother and all the
loved ones. But the letter said there
would be no danger, and the time came
when she was laid on the cruel table
and the keen knife of the surgeon cut
into the tender flesh of our loved one
Then the news came. 1.-The operation is
successful, snd now it would be only a

to enter during the week,

Some ANNOYANCE was occa-
stoned by the change in books
for this term, caused by the re-
cent action of the State Board
of Education. Some had old
books which could not be ex-
changed and they We're forced
to buy new ones. There ought
to be a change in the time and
method for adopting school
books. Nearly all graded schools
have ten grades and instead of
having to make changes in
books every five years the time
should be extended to ten years.
