lows: One for a term of one year,
n for a term of two years, and one
for a term OF three years-and |
would therefore advise that none Of
the present board of trustees employ
teacher or teachers without The con-

wherever you might happen to be on
the day of casting ballots. But you
can't do that now. You can vote
legally only one time, and you must
vote at home. There are too many
possibilities Of fraud in the old prac-
tice Of putting one name on all the
club rolls for the convenience Of the
voter.
Bear these facts in mind:
Because your name was on some
OF the old lists, it doesn't follow that
it will be OF the new roll. AS a
matter Of fact, it will not appear on
the new roll unless you put it there
yourself. Nobody can enroll for you.
You must write your full name
initials will not be sufficient.
If you have already enrolled, US
ing your initials, go and enroll prop
erly, writing out in full each Of your
names.
ABOVE ALL, ENROLL. DO IT
NOW, and DO IT RIGHT.

With all the improvements that
have been made for the accommo-
dation of travel over the mountains,
the increase Of business interests
that prevail as interesting the two
points of Walhalla and Highlands, to
say nothing OF the fast improving
sections outlying, it is evident to
even the casual observer that present
mail facilities are Inadequate to
meet the needs of the situation.
Walhalla is the natural gateway to
the mountains, and has been recog-
nized as such-and especially to
Highlands-ever since the opening
Of the hill country to tourist travel
on an extensive scale.
A few years ago conditions
whereby it was thought that travel
could be advantageously diverted
from Walhalla by other routes to
the mountains. but it has been found
that the old routing by this point
was best. and within a short while
the travel that has gone by other
points Will Once more be coming
through Walhalla, and it is but nat
ural that mail facilities should keep
pace with the transportation of pas
sengers and freight. One of the
most important factors that have
lent assistance in this matter is the
practical completion of the modern
highway from Walhalla to High
lands. This once tortuous trip is to-
day being made as an afternoons
pleasure ride by many. With good
roads and the general Introduction
Of the automobile Highlands has be-

star route service between the two

is now not delivered until the morn

that o publish a call for such
meeting, to be held Friday night

be voted for for the new positions to
