OAKLAND

Oakland, Aug. 25-After haviEi
enjoyed several idle weeks out of the
tleld and many pleasant visits to
friends and relatives, the farmers are
again being called to the full realiza-
ton that farm work is awaiting their
attention. Much fodder has been
pulled and the weather is ideal for
this kind of work. Cotton is begin
nlng to show some of it's white fleece
beneath the green leaves and by tn,
first of September, the harvesting of
this crop will be in full force. Com
pairing the crop with last years crop
1T is rather backward, because last
August at this date. farmers were
picking cotton right along.
1T seems that the temperance rallies
which are being held over the county,
are not very acceptable to the men,
considering the number that attend.
Yes, the fight is on, but the weakest
and punlest soldiers are to be found
among the men. | do actually be-
lieVe they think the proposition too
great an undertaking and from what
one can hear them say, a century
from now on will be plenty of time to
take up this prohibition question, that
the land might be rid of this dastardly
evil. But mind you, if this evil curse
continues another hundred years, the
devil himself will be mortally as ham
ed of having had hand in the bust
ness.
Ihe addresses made by Rev. l.. l.,
Wagnon and Rev. l.. NJ Rice, at the
temperance rally last Saturday at
Duck Pond church were of very high
standard and those failing to come
and hear these addresses will surely
feel deep regret for not taking in
terest enough to attend. The law
was very pleasantly spent. A grana
and sumptuous dinner was another
feature that added pleasure to the
occasion.

Hearing Thursday in Case of
Truancy from School of WV
ian Brown Results in an
Appeal of Decision

A warrant was sworn out by Frank
A. Thurston of Rome. truast officer,
against Lester Brown and Lottie
Brown. charging them with inducing
their child to be absent from school,
and secondly with neglecting to send
their child to school. 1t was claimed
that their child, Vivian Brown, wht.
is seven years old. had not attended
school in her district but a few days
since Oct. and that she was an
habitual truant Mrs. Brown, who is
teaching in Smithfield. an adjoining
town. had secured permission from
one member of the school board in
that town to take her girl to that
school. The reason for doing this was
brought out in the hearing before
Judge Geo. W. Field Thursday. 1t was
stated that Miss Hazel Prescott,
teacher in the district where Vivian
Brown went to school, had placed the
child in grade to review her work
contrary to the wish of Mrs. Brown.
After hearing the evidence on both
sides Judge Field ruled that one mem
Der of the school board had no right
to give permission to Mrs. Brown 10
have her daughter attend the school
without the sanction of the others,
which made the girl a truant In her
own town and therefore made her
father and mother guilty Of the
charge.
They were therefore both fined So
and costs. They appealed.
