Allies are now trying to drive
their way with shot, shell and
flesh through the Dardanelles

of Turkey. They are fighting
over territory wet with the blood
of legions who battled for the

ago. We publish in this issue of

article, "The Plains of Ilium, "
the name by which this region is
know. You may enjoy reading
the piece.

spent viewing the beautiful

The holsters are of the best white oak.

AS your readers have enjoyed
refreshing rest from my efu-
sions, l will say that my lines
have fallen in pleasant places.
AS many people in Kentucky
are aware, | left there last July
in wretched health. This pre-
vented my teaching the school
there as I had planned, and shat
tered cherished dream.
However, I had a very pleas
ant school near historic Kings
Mountain. and my surroundings
were congenial. The school has
been out two weeks, and we had
a very fine exhibit. The wealth
er was not propitious for field
exercises; as snow fell till 9 a.
M, on that day and prevented
the rural schools from being
present. Among other features
scheduled, was a parade of the
schools in double rank; but this
feature was eliminated by reason
of inclement weather.
The booklets which showed
the work of pupils in public and
high schools, were very credit
able, and the exhibits from my
school were second best. We
had arranged to be out in force
for parade, and had planned for
STRAW rides" but man pro.
poses and God disposes.
Among exhibits were papers on
grammar, history, geography,
arithmetic and drawing. My
grammar, arithmetic and draw
ing excelled; and some of my ex-
hibits were kept out by reason of
the weather.
The corn, canned goods, needle
work, etc., were of a very high
order, and showed that Cleve-
land county is in the swim.
Cleveland county is now build
ing sand clay roads, and Adsir
county, when | was there, had
the worst roads in Chrisendom;
and it took longer to go from
Louisville to Columbia, a distance
of 1O7 miles, than it does to
make the journey from Louis
vile to St. Louis 800 miles.
Columbia always has had a
noble citizenship, and has excell-
ed as an educational center.
In proof of. that contention,
we refer you to Gen. James Gar
