I To bring the Indians 10 the position
Of enlightened citizenship. the Indians
must know the details tina! affect their
progress to this point.
" We therefore cali upon the Interior
Department. through the Bureau Of In
dian Affairs. 10 prepare a set Of simple

The dreary weather we had last
week caused an epidemic of sulks
thruout this community.
A large crowd was disappointed
Sunday afternoon at the Sugar Greek
church. They had gathered to hear
Rev. Stoneking preach. But for some
reason the Reverend failed to come.
After singing several songs the
crowd departed. The people thruout
this neighborhood think Bro. Stone
king is a very able preacher; of course
he can't please everybody, and he GER
tainly hit 'em all alike during his
meeting some time ago. The Rev
erend has no favorites.

BELINGToN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Belington Public schools win
close six months Of the years work
Friday, March eth.
The first month witnessed the larg-
est enrolment Of the year--166 boys
and 177 girls, making total Of $40.
The years work has been very sue
cessful thus far. We have had little
sickness, and little confusion that
would injure the progress Of the
school.
Our greatest need at present is
proper funds to carry on the schools
in modern way. These are modern
times, and to carry on school or
church in a modern way requires
money.
In order to raise the necessary
funds to finish the term all the grades
win join in music program to be
rendered in the High School Audi
forum, March 18th. We have en-
deavored to make this program high
class -something that will be worth
the time and money educational as
well as helpful At least so pupils
will take part in the program, nei-
ther will it be long enough to worry,
but shining to. give the best in brief
way.
We believe the people viii give us
the same loyal support ia behalf Of
this program that they have in the
past, and thus enable us to close with
one Of the best years il the history
Of the Belington public schools.
Notice that none Of this money
will be used to defray the expenses Of
anyone coming from distance the
porgram is made up Of home talent-
your boys and girls-1hence All the
money raised can be used for the var
ious needs Of the schools.
