If you can think of anything that can be done to beautify or build up our town go to it. Keep your capital at home; patronize home industries; help your mer- chants so they can sell cheaper; always get your work done in your own town if possible; sub- scribe and pay for your home paper. A man should be ashamed to be caught borrowing his town paper from another to read. If you follow these suggestions and your town does not improve and build up it will not be your fault. .-Danville Democrat.

Scottsville News.

Friday closed one of the most successful terms the Scottsyille Grammar School has ever held.
 Enthusiasm has run high throughout the year among the patrons as well as the pupils, and besides winning three first prizes and four second places in the County rural school contest, we also reached the Standard.
 At F o'clock Friday the teach CT was very much astonished and bewildered when several automo- piles and buggies dashed up in front of the school building, but she soon recovered to find the patrons and friends had prepared a surprise dinner.
 The school room was soon transformed into banquet hall. with the very best dinner that could be had.
 Superindent Robinson came out in the afternoon and gave very interesting talk, after which ice cream was served. The day was closed with a big ball game between the old men and the school boys.
 wish to thank the people of Scottsville for their support and kindness. Of course there a. e other good, loyal people in the world, but none better than those of Scottsville. If the boys of the town schools could only see the pure, peaceful way in which the boys of Scottsville live; no ugly cigarettes, no harsh. unkind words to their teacher, no play ing ahoosy" from school; and if the girls of the town schools could come and watch the work of these pure, noble girls. how they get up at five o'clock in the morning, help their mothers do the work, and most of them do all the cooking of the break fast then come to school, not powdered and painted and not with uncomfortable shoes, but neatly dressed from head to foot, and how they stand right side by side with their teacher. 1 believe at least a few boys and girls of the city schools would realize more fully how it is that the country boys and girls are come ing to the front to claim their places in the world and they will run very close race with you for championship of success.
 Your friend and servant,
 Myrtle Stewart.

We are always pleased to chron- icle anything tending toward the future betterment and the up building of home. town and com munity, therefore when those connected with our schools as directors, teachers and pupils make the effort to show the pub lie that there is something doing in their field of endeavor, the In dependent takes pleasure in eX. pressing it's sanction of things worth while. and it is along this line of thought that we wish to let the public know what our schools are doing.
 One of the strongest factors in the upbuilding of town or com munity is the schools, toward which all eyes should be turned with ardent admiration, and in support of which every reason able effort should be expressed.
 The Carlisle schools have just closed a most successful term under the management of Prof. R. D. Highfl, Superintendent; Prof. W. L. F'rensemier, Princi- pal; Miss Vivian Ward law, Assist. ant Principal; Prof. W c. Davis, Principal grammar school dept l; Mrs. E W. Harrington, 9th and 9th grades; Miss Mabelle Vii ol, 3rd and 4th grades; Miss Grace Deeter, 2nd grade, and Miss Tina Raborn, primary grade.
 We think Carlisle has had as fine corps of teachers as we ever had the pleasure of know ing. all of them pulling together for the advancement of their school. During the term just closed the pupils as whole have been doing excellent work. in fact they have made Eureka" their watchword. and inspil ed by the earnest and conscientious effort S of the teachers, have made d marked advancement in their educational work. They are proud of ''our school, seeking to discus and do those things that tend to draw as magnet, to itself, and holding within it's fascinating bounds, the boys and pirls of today-the men and wO- men of tomorrow - inspiring them with the desire of knowl edge to become useful factors in the course of human events, do inc we'll the things that will eventually be placed in t1eir path to cope with and overcome. In most instances we believe these pupils will realize and assume
 !, the responsibilities that may fall upon their shoulders, in the sense of understanding that will prove out for the better in the fulfill
