Gated by the Squire Edwards family
Henry Brock, who has lain so Ill

phoid fever began to pull up little

There we're nine applicants taking
the examination for white teachers
held Friday and Saturday last. Supt.
Joe Valley had chill Friday and
had to go home, leaving the holding
of the examination IN charge of the
two examiners Newton James and
Ezra Churchwell. Two constitutes
a quorum for such examining board.
The housewives to whose homes
the Herald goes, whose husbands
havn't liquidated' for it this year will
confer favor upon US by jogging
the memory of the head of the house,
now that pretty well everybody las
disposed OF their logs and pockets
are full. We acknowledge anew all
such obligations under which the
thoughtful ladies have placed us in
the past in seeing that the county
paper is furnished promptly with
subscription funds.
The Herald can make any long
range promises about inserting any
matter handed ia later than We'd
nesday afternoons. We go to press
Thursdays Immediately after the ar
rival of the train. with our paper sup
plies, and ask that all contributed
matter be placed in. the hands of the
printer not later than Wednesdays.
Keep this in mind either in mailing
in matter or contemplating handing
it in personally. It's unfair to some
five hundred subscribers to keep
them waiting while we stop and set
eleventh-hour stuff to accommodate
one careless patron, as to our. seized
ule of printing.
This paper is glad that the prizes.
at fields day were won by school
students distributed over the coun-
~. Naturally it would be expected
that those schools like Leakesvllle
and Pine Level having long terms
would furnish pupils capturing more
of such awards, but it would be dis
.couraging to the rural school lads
and Iassies> if they had failed to cap
ture anything, and of course there
was wisdom IN contrIving prizes at
which they would have an equal show
with any. With consolidated schools
springing up over the county it viii
soon be that the rural scholar can
successfully contest with the town
one on equal terms.
