II there is anything that will endure
The eye of God, because it still is

Fresh from His hand and therefore

And when they pray, God hears the'F

Yea, even sheaths his sword in Judg-

Saturday. March 2S and 20. The
state sends out the questions for this
examination The first year the Sew
enth and Eighth grade pupils OF the
county schools will have to make a
grade Of 80 per cent to carry toward
a diploma. The grades of passing
were raised from 3 to 80 per cent
last year. But in spite OF the higher
passing mark, we believe the pupils
will be able to reach it all right,

UNION HILL NEWS.

Union Hill has been blessed with
a good rain and notice plows moving,
fall gardens being planted. Mr.. Alb
Carson is planting seevral acres in
fall Irish potatoes. This is a great
farming country, II only We could get
rain. The cotton is about all gathered
and sold and, one farmer says, the
money spent.
We are all doing very we'll. Notice
Mr. Roland Spiller has bought prop
erty and gone into the general grocery
business.
There is a tent meeting in progress
at the Hill, by Rev. Walker, a Free
Baptist His wife is also a preacher
and gave us sermon last night on
Work" All were edited, enter
tanned and benefited. Bryan people
are especially invited to come Come
and help us. We need your presence.
Come and camp, come and stay with
us. Come and let's get together and
advance along religious lines.
We regret that Miss Lettie Bates is
soon to go from among us, as she has
accepted school in the west. Our
loss will be their gain. She is a gen.
eral favorite with the populace, and
especially with all the children. We
feel it will be hard to fill her place.
We will miss her every day, as she is
a leader in all things that are good
and to the upbuilding of a community.
To her is due much for the advance
ment of our Hill, both mentally, NOR
ally and spiritually.
Mr.. Bates has been on the sick list,
but is now improving.
Mrs. Hugh Royal of Houston is
visiting friends and relatives here.
Mr.. Charles Ramsey of Houston is
a pleasant visitor and is talking OF
locating around the Hill.
We are proud of our Hill folk. Who
would not be, when so many of them
are making their mark in different
portions of the world? Possibly we
owe this partly to Bryan and College,
as We are midway. Notice with much |
qualification and pleasure that our old |
boy, Hugh Royall was elected by the |
State city letter carriers to go to San |
Francisco, CAL, and deliver an address !
before the Association of Letter Car |
riers of the United States. Quite an
honor. Many expressions OF this |
Texas delegation have been received |
at the Hill from San Francisco (Cal.)
papers. In one place they say the |
Texas delegation carried seven flags, |
showing the different flags under
which Texas has been, and they gave |
the Texas yell. They had also COW
horns which measured eight feet |
across. Texans always are noticed |
wherever they appear, and we Of the
Hill are proud that an Allen Academy
and A. and NJ. boy, Hugh Royal. was
among them and principal speaker
from all Texas.
Our public school starts in the near
future and suppose 1t will be full.
| am looking for several houses to

course Of few years Bryan. Union

The small flat at all times was dark
and dreary. Even on sunshiny days a
very small amount of light crept down
to the court windows. while the back
porch was shadowed by a huge ware
house that u off all breeze in sum-

There had Been IL time when Kitty
never was irritable. But that was be-

1t was Il cold. gray morning, and
breakfast was not plentiful. But when
Jerry had silently gulped his oatmeal
and left the flat for the cold outside
she was sorry she had spoken as she
did. 1t wasn't Jerry's fault that tho
supply OF human help far outran the
demand. And Jerry had looked tired
lately. He was working too hard.
Then she forgot Jerry while she got
breakfast for the three hungry chill
