That reminds me that those goats
I suggested some time ago might do
good and efficient service before COM
mencement comes again. I have not
seen any street force at work in a long
time, and I presume that the idea
is to let the flowers and the grass and
the other wild vegetation and wild
animals grow so as to give better op-
portunity for nature study. I think
l read in one Of the papers where
teacher in the rural schools had "a na7
ture study class, and that she had
been gathering up tadpoles and
watching them develop into frogs. I
don't know, but I wouldn't be surpris-
ed if ycu could find some tadpoles in
one or the other forks of scott's

And, by George, that is fine look
ing street in front of the new post
Office building. That magnificent
ditch to one side, and the mound of
stone ON the other, and then the sand
spreading out like great valley
along the street that leads alongside
the Methodist lot, all give the sur
roundings such a rustic appearance.
I can scarcely understand how such
fine suggestion of rusticity could
have been conceived. And then, the
little rises and falls in the street up
towards the Summer garage give the
street such beautiful insinuation of
the ruggedness of the hills of Wes-
tern North Carolina, that one almost
feels that he is in this most beautiful
and picturesque section Of America
as he glides along the street or the
sidewalk that surround the new post
office building. And then, too, let me
tell you that stAeet that leads from
the new home of Mayor Wright and
by the postoff1ce and the new court
house, is not to be despised when it
cones to ruggedness and suggestions
of mountain scenes, for it has the
bitches and the insinuation of hills
and valleys and running streams and
ripping brooks, all suggestive of the
beautiful wild scenery of the noun
tains. An, we are getting back to
nature. Let us all take up nature
study again. There is plenty of op-
portunity right here in the city of
Newberry. All varieties of weeds and
grasses and wild flowers may be seen
on all sides just by strolling around
little.

convenient and pretty one at that.
Of course, every one is proud of it.
