for a year, and we know him to be
sc~rupulously honest and reliable, and
can guarantee his character to be
equal to that of any man in the valley.

ard Of high character which we have
established and which has gained for
the Academy Theater the reputation
in the film world OF being the highest
class picture show in the U. s. W.
have taken a great pride in our little
show and feel that the character will
be maintained by Jul
We trust that you will encourage
the new proprietor and give a fair
and reasonable support to an industry
which is without doubt Of the greatest
value to a thoughtful community.

In MemOriam.

George Swaringim died at his home
on Carver Greek February 10, 1914,
aged "a years, 4 months 13 days.
Our dear beloved father was laid
to rest at Bearman Cemetery. He
leaves a dear wife and fifteen children
to mourn the loss of their husband
and dear father. He had been sick
fourteen months and bore all his sick
ness patiently. He said that no medi-
cal aid could do him any good. He
said he was going to put himself in the
hands of God and he knew God would
take care of him. He put all his trust
in God aud was satisfied with every
thing. He told us not to grieve after
him, for he would be better off. But
everything that kind hands could do
could not keep him here; the good
Lord called him to a happy home
where no pain or death will g
enter. We never will see him here
any more, but we have one great con-
ISOLATION: if we live submissive to our
Maker we will meet our dear father
in Heaven. He died with a smile on
his face, and fell asleep in the arms of
Jesus. THE FAMILY.

ington were observed in several of the
rooms with appropriate programs.

day Monday in which to renew our
patriotism with thoughts of the
"Father of his Country"
The boys and girls Of the fourth
grade are studying numbering. They

stock, wagon shop and. tie yard to
gather information.
The physical geography class last
week built a relief map Of Pilot Knob

Several exhibits from manufacturing
companies have been added to the
equipment for teaching geography in
the grades. These represent silk
wooden, cotton, corn, wheat, cereal
petroleum and other products at the
various stages of manufacture and are
a great aid in teaching by the object
method.

it was unnecessary to have sued any
