White Town School First.

Among the schools that have
responded to the appeal for con-
tribution to the Arlington monu-
ment fund, the White Town school,
which is taught by Miss Carrie Tai
bert, holds first place. Recently
through the efforts of Miss Taibert
a patriotic entertainment was given
and an admission fee of 10 cents
was charged. By this means the sum
of $3.50 was raised and forwarded
to Mrs. J. D. Holstein, the presi-
dent of the Edgefeld chapter, U.
d. G. Miss Talbert is ambitious,
energetic and real Woodrow-Wil-
son progressive in her school work,
and consequently can always be re-
lied upon to do her full part in
every undertaking of patriotic ma
'ture or that is promotive of the
public welfare. This is not only a
good example for other schools but
it likewise has wholesome influ-
ence upon her own pupils.

Interest in The Concert Grows

Interest continues to grow in the
Scotch concert that is to be held ID
the opera house Friday night,
March %. While an exceedingly at
tractive musical program is being
arranged, there are other featur es
that will delight and entertain the
audience. A play by a number OF
little children will be pleasing
feature. The piece de resistance of
the occasion will be several vocal
selections by the sextette from John
ston. In addition to the quartette
and sextette, there will be several
solos by ladies and gentlemen from
Johnston. The musical program
alone will be easily worth the price
of admission.

Do Not Relish Buying Corn.

We see farmers hauling western
corr home who probably never
bought corn before. Their having
to buy it now is due to the un-
favorable conditions that prevailed
practically all over Edgefeld coun-
ty last year. But you can bet your
boots that ie Drawn ard brains will
make corn this year, farmers who
belong to the live. at-home class will
not get caught again. 1t goes
against the grain" for farmer to
be compelled to buy inferior west
ern corn who has been accustomed
to having an abundance of corn
in his crib the year round, that OF
the best quality too.

it is easy to make.

that his is the one.
There worst paints are liars; they
knows what they are, put-on on

price; but low price paint is always,

Letter From Edgefield Graded
School.

Dear Mr.. Editor: We have only
about two months to 60 to school,
but | do not think we mind that
very much, although we shall miss
our teachers.
Washington's birthday coming
on Saturday, we did honor to him
on Friday,the 9lst. Thirteen children
represented the thirteen colonies.
On the board was drawn a flag,
minus the stars, and, as the chill
dren recited, they put on a star.
Very interested compositions were
read on the life of Washington.
We ended the occasion by singing
patriotic songs.
A plan has been adopted by the
officials of our school to make the
lazy boys and girls rise earlier. Miss
Minnie tells us if we are late, the
train will leave us, 50 We all try to
catch our train at quarter OF nine,
after which the doors are locked,
and those who fail to bring a good
excuse are sent home. This is a very
good rule and prevents US from
lettering along the way.
Miss Minnie believes in and In
sists on cleanliness of the body and
soul. Our mark on ceatness comes
out on every months report.
Not only this but we are marked
on duty" Boys and girls are ap-
pointed each day to help keep the
room neat. Of course we always get
good marks, as we like to have our
room look nice.
We were so much interested in
the Inauguration that our teacher
secured Washington papers, which
we all enjoyed. The pictures we are
keeping.
Special interest is taken in our little
paper, Current Events" for which
each of US subscribes. The news
of the week is condensed for school
t Sc. Twice week we read it, then
stand examination every Thursday.
Some of the answers are very anus
ing. In regard to Stefansson's ex-
ploration in search for an unknown
the question was asked,
What is Stefanson intending to do?
One answer was, He is going to
hunt for a lost continent up the
Hudson river"
Our assistant teacher, Miss Bla-
lock, we welcomed back Monday,
after weeks illness. Miss Grace
Etheredge from the @. l. creditably
filled her place while she was alb
sent.
AS we said before, our school is
preparing to give an entertainment,
we think about April the first. The
date signifies an April Foop'
affair, but come and let us show
you that it will be worthy of your
attention and appreciation. The
numbers will be marches, songs and
plays.
We are looking forward to Eas-
ter. Our last drawing was an Easter
design.
We hope the rabbit will be kinder
to you this year, Mr.. Editor, for
your i.indness in allowing school
children space in your paper.

Ollie will be scrupulous in attending on
Sundays and holidays of obligation.
If a person comes into church after
the Offertory, or leaves before the
Communion, he has not heard Mass
and has, therefore, not fulfilled his
obligation.
In order to fulfil to the letter the
precept of hearing Mass, a person
should be present from the very be-
ginning and remain to the very end.
From this obligation has arisen a
custom which necessitates another
word of caution. 1t is true that, if we
have missed the preliminary prayers
of the Mass we may supply for the
defect by attending so much of a
second Mass as had been missed at
the first. If person should arrive at
and should remain for the second
Mass up to the time of the Consecra-
ton, he would not have fulfilled his
obligation, irrespective of the time he
had remained in church, since he had
been present at no one Mass in it's
essential entirety.
If a person goes to Mass and dis
covers that the chalice has been I'M
covered, he may be assured that he
will have to hear all of another Mass.
He will have been so late that no
supplying of deficiency will satisfy.
