Mt. Vernon correspondent passed
through here very early last Friday
morning with banners flying, telling
of his items to some that do not take
the paper and urging them to get a
copy and read it, but we thought his
banner was his shirt that he had fail
ed to fix right, in his haste to tell
about his piece in the paper. Well,
we hope the people of Mt. Vernon will
have fine school up there, but do not
think it will draw aybody from where
there is already a good school. The
Mt. Vernon correspondent is a very
good fellow, but just gets cranky
sometimes, like all old widowers, and
let's not blame him for it.
Our school will close next Friday
for a short time until we can build
another room and do some repairing
on the other building.
Miss Ocla Clark will 60 from here

Lille is a charming and cultured
young lady Of Garland. They have
all of the best wishes of the entire
community.
The Nebo ball team played the Ell
Paso team Saturday at Naylor, score,
