Although the weather was I'M
favorable last Friday night, our ice
cream supper netted us more than
ne expected even for fair night.
We regretted that our Leesburg and
other friends were rained out. We
cleared $11.25. Our people are con-
tributing generously 10 supplement
the above amount that We may se-
cure maps and a dictionary. The
pupils have aroused interest enough
to raise money enough to buy some
pictures for the several rooms, but
the young folks will need little
help from us older ones in older
ones in order to finish satisfactorily
this decoration. Mr.. J. A. Hill gave
Miss Littleton s room a very hand
some picture. The principal gave
one for the auditorium. Who will
open his Or her heart enough to do
nate a neat framed picture to Miss
Burton $ room?
We paid for two beautiful pictures
fromthe school improvement funds,
but such taste for the beautiful pic
lures was aroused in the minds of
Miss Littleton's pupils that they
quickly raised the money to pay for
one Of these, and thereby saved a
good little sum to The general fund.
Miss Burton's little tots arc hust
ling around trying to get money
enouhg to buy the other picture.
The high school pupils say they VIII
buy larger ones for the auditorium
If the primaries" get their Other
one.
The high school has promised a
book-shower, +" next Friday to lie
the final day for this campaign.
Miss Ruth Chance brought to the
school Tuesday morning her pres
ent Of two books. The principal do
mated to the library ten good books
yesterday morning. Who will be
next? We want to supply our wants
from our own stores as much as
possible so we shall not have to ask
for money for everytli: ng.
We invite all the patrons Of the
,chool TO meet us at the school build
ing Friday afternoon at 2::30 o'clock
Oct End We shall endeavor to give
them a very short, but interesting
program after which we expect to
organizea parent teacher association
for frst-class school improvement.
Remember the time, come heavily
loaded. Please bring book or as
many books as you can and wish
for our library. This is notintended
as ali entrance fee, but you know
we shall be glad to get the books.
This is a free-will offering. If you
bring the books, come any way We
want YOU! We need you'll Let's fill
the auditorium with patrons. Bring
neat framed picture if You can.
Our board and progressive citf-
zens are carefully considering the
prices and terms of several piano
concerns and we feel assured that
if we have any exercises on Thanks
giving Day handsome and sweet
toned instrument will greet our ex-
peetant eyes. Wefeel. assured that
we can make money enough to-meet
the payments. We will sacrifice
much to 90 that.
AS our challenge on the dietion-
airy and on the picture was met
eagerly BY our school-loving friends
the dollar and the picture being
covered 50 deeply, we throw down
the gauntlet to our music-loving
and school-loving friends. Thus; ii
the board pays me my first months
salary promptly, | will give a ten
dollar bill on the payment on
good piano; provided $4,000
more is donated Immediately for
the same purpose, and that the
piano is secured within a reasonable
time so l can have little Of the
benefit Of the music before my term
expires. Come along gentlemen and
ladies! This is a progressive age
