4 Il. f. jones' ! live at Stur-
geon. | farm a little and trade
a little in real estate. Nothing
much now doing in land deals.
Wait till we get crops this sea
son. How about the Sturgeon
Court of Common Pleas? Why,
we wouldn't do without it. The
Legislature once tried to take it
away from us. Don t you dare.
The people over a wide area in
our locality need it. Don't take
any of the long established insti-
tutions away from the small
towns. The rural communities
why, the big trade centers want
TO rob us of all we have.
We are told that recent visitor
at the home of Mr.. T. b. Hendrix,
north of Mexico, says Uncle Tom
is so happy over the closing of the
saloons that he even forgives the
army and cut worm. He says:
why the worms were sent for
some good purpose. A fellow can
fatten his hogs on them in a pinch.
God will not forsake this county
after we have done away with such
a curse as the saloons. Well come
out all right, see if we don't, "
and he laughed contentedly;
Dan Cauthorn: The army
worms quit my garden last week.
My, but they are chewers. They
can bite like an English sparrow
and while they are feeding you
can hear their jaws grind.
Harvey Il. Powell: / brought
in three lambs from Molino and
sold to Powell & Mundy- at Z 1-2c.
We had good rain out at Molino
that Mexico community did not
get. The army worms are not
hurting my corn much. A heavy
rain, to bring out the grass, and
the farmers out my way would
make it pretty well.
w. Clyde Johnson: Friday and
Saturday were warm days to sit
and write examination papers,
but about 60 teachers took the
test for certificates. Altogether
so have made application for GER
tificates. In the two days 420
papers were written. OF these j
am requested to grade 134 and to
send the remainder, 2S6, to the
State Department to be graded
$, there. Two pupils of the eighth
grade have thus far reported al
my Office for second trial at the
final examination. / am glad to
see them showing so much inter
est in receiving diploma. | wish
it were so that many more coulc
come. Let us remember that any
thing worth ha"ing is gorth work
ing for.
Roselle Haskell: Am ] going
to use cigars when | become
man? Not |. | belong to the
Boy Scouts. | have signed TIVE
pledges that | will forever abstain
from the use of tobacco, and hav,
made the same promise to my par
cnts. Do you think a boy, of an.
worth at all, could go back OF
solemn vows like thatl
