On account of the unusually warm
weather the ward schools have been
dlSmissing earlier than the regular
time.
Telephones have been placed in
the ward buildings for the convent
ence OF the teachers, pupils and pa
irons. 1t is necessary, however, to
prevent the telephone becoming Il
nuisance to place some restrictions
upon 1t, Tho telephone will he un-

we urge that parents call for the

The Superintendent was asked IL
few days ago to verify the fact that
the Pennington High School is
fully accredited with the State Uni-
versity. The inquirer had been in
formed to the effect that it was not,
and desiring to know the truth in
the case made proper investigation.
We do not know why such false in
formation is circulated, as every
loyal citizen of Farmington should
be proud of the fact that the High
School is accredited and that 1t has
such standing. On February >,
1910, we received Il letter from the
State University notifying us that
our school had been approved as n
partially accredited institution with
l3l& units. On October 20, 1910, we
received another letter from the
same source to the effect that the
Pennington High School was fully
accredited with l5Is units. Since
that time we have not only been
able to remain on the accredited list
of high schools but have succeeded
in raising the number OF accredited
units to u. When an institution of
this kind is fully accredited 1t means
that all of the work offered toward
graduation Is accredited. With the
State Department our High School
is ranked as first class. These
statements may be verified by any
one examining the catalogue of the
University, the State Superintend-
ent of Public Schools Annual Re-
port, and the letters on file in the
Office at the High School.

Shipments Are Limited to One Gallon
to Each Person, so Some Will
Have to Stay Sober.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 26.-The suit

the law The members of it who
planned to make up for the deficiency
in the supply of wet goods" in the
dry territory" of Tennessee, follow
ing the enactment of the law recently
limiting shipments to one gallon to
each person, and for personal use
only, have found that they can't beat
the law in the manner they had
planned.
The men who have flocked to Bris-
toll from as far west as Knoxville
have found that the same law which
prohibits shipping more than a gallon
for personal use applies also to car
rylng intoXicants. No more can be
carried by hand for personal use than
can be shipped by express. and this
IS really not a happy" situation for
the bootleggers.
Officers have their eyes on indiyid

law IN Tennessee by carrying more
whisky than the law allows.

the whisky is bought for shipment or
to be carried by hand, the purchaser
is required to give his name. together

TWO DEAR OLD LADIES
BY r. MN ANON.

Miss Mary Henley and Miss Maggie
Brown were two dear old ladies who
lived together in tiny house at the
edge of the city. Miss Mary had
made wedding gowns for young wom-
en- of her own age in her youth, and
she went on making dainty baby
things for the children of the brides,
ding dresses for these same children.
Always CHEEKY, always interested,
never seeming to miss the joy of life
that came not to her, quiet content to
know all things vicariously, she was

Miss Mary's days" were as much a
part of the household regime as the
weekly sweeping days.
Miss Maggie was mot strong" That
was the way she and Miss Mary talk
ed of the half invalidism that made
Miss Maggie unable to partake in Miss
Mary's labors. But that lack Of
strength did not prevent Miss Maggie
from doing many things which red
checked girls with bounding blood in
their veins could not have done. A
certain wealthy woman, one of Miss
Mary's patrons, contributed a small
amount to the support of the home
each month. in addition to her pay
ments for Miss Mary's labor, and the
two lived comfortably. and attained a
reputation for charitable works.
Was there a bazaar in the little
chruch? Miss Mary's needlework was

delicious and the first sold. Did a
beggar come to the door? There was
always food, clothing and a word Of

yes. Miss Maggie had no pride or SEM
blance thereof. She went, quite as a
matter of course, to richer house
holds and begged frankly for cast-off
clothing for her poor people" and she
got it and gave it, with kindly in
junction, bit of encouragement or a
quoted text, as need seemed to de-
mand. If it be true that Migrants

the flock, and more brilliant aspirants

such sweetly comforting doctrines.
