! Kind EIitors: Old Joe thought he
would step in this morning and tell
Won few of the happenings of our
nuiet little settlement. Everybody
seems to be at peace, one With the
other. which is matter OF no little
Measure to know and to think that ev-
ervbody seems to be looking after and
attending TO then own business and
nersoual int rest. As to the health OF
our community. il is very good, with
the execution of colds or grip. as some
cali it, Most everybo ~ seoms to be
affected with that malady. We have
Int one case in our vicinity now
which seems to cause any alarm, and
that i Mrs Ruth Griffith. She is
suffering with what the doctors claim
Is dropsy Of the heart, and Is not ex-
pectea to live long. Her sufferings
are very intense and our hearts all go
out in great sympathy for her. Ruth
is bearing her Affections with wonder
full patience, looking to the great De-
voud for her relief She is a good,
quiet, obliging ueighbor, a loving
mother and devoted wife, anu when

community. Her mother, Mrs Nan
CIV Knox, of Durham, Ga, and her
sister. Mrs Julia Bryant, of Daus, are

Well, all of our rural schools will
soon be out, and we hope that this
years. work in the rural districts all
over the county, has been grand
success and much and lasting good has
bsen accomplished. Most all the rural
schools will close on FRIDAY the 18th
inst.
Our school at this place has been a
success this year. Mr. e. G. Gray
son has given pretty general satisfact-
ion, and success has followed. Sue
cess in the school room does not de-
pend on the teacher altogether, but on
the patrons, parents and students. If
we could get the parents Of the child
rem to see and realize the fact that
one half or more of the success of
their children depended on them, we
do believe that our public schools
" would be grand success.
Well, today, Monday, seems to be a
real hog killing day in this part of the
world. This cool spell has caused
wonderful amount of bloodshed over
the country, but as there is no law to
prevent the shedding Of your own
blood we hope no one will be called
into the courts to have to answer or
give an account for this shedding of
blood.
