In the language of the immortal
Perry, I'VE have met the enemy and
we are his'n."
1t all came about in this way:
Last Wednesday night about the
usual number of contestants appear
ed to vie with us for honors in spell
ing. Victory seemed to smile and
beckon to us as of yore. There oc-
cured nothing Of an unusual nature
in the first 30 minutes of the con-
test, but from then until the finish
the battle was fast and furious. The
opposition had Marcus Kelts left
standing and we were all down ex-
cept the teaches. He must have got
lonesome, nervous, or excited, for
Marcus spelled him down too. We
tried once more by two, and met with
the same bitter defeat. We will do
better next time.
The Sunday school has begun work
on an Easter program.
Mrs. w. L. Moore received word
few days ago that her brother re-
siding in Iowa, was accidentally kill
ed in attempting to make a railroad
crossing In an auto ahead of a train.
The family has the sympathy of the
entire community
The Claxton family arrived few
days ago from Canada to make their
home among us, having bought the
Gibson ranch. We bid them a hearty
welcome and hope they will like their
new home.
We find it necessary either to
make an apology for an article that
appeared in this column sometime
ago, or fight duel. We choose the
former, humiliating as it is. We in
tended no harm to anyone and
thought it would be understood as a
joke-as it was locally-when we
published something few weeks ago
about Mrs. j. B. Hunter. Now the
facts are that ]. B. Hunter single
and unmarried, at home and in his
house work is known, locally as
Mrs. Hunter" Hence the reference
in our recent article to Mrs. Hunt
er." Result: His mail box is stuffed
with catalogues from mail order
houses to Mrs. j. B. Hunter" ad-
vertising everything from lace to
lingerie-silken hose to millinery.
He is daily expecting a calling down
from his people in Florida for fool
ing" them. Three different young
ladies that we know positively were
making active preparations to pro-
pose to him, this being Leap Year,
have gone to looking elsewhere.
These are only few of the things
that are happening all on account of
our thoughtlessness. Mr.. Hunter is
a good friend of ours and highly re-
spected by all who know him. We are
truly sorry and are ready and will
ing to do all in our power to make
amends.
Prof. Spencer brought the spelling
team from the Talent school Thurs
day afternoon for a contest with our
school. The team consisted of five
young ladies OF the Sth grade. Our
7th and Sth grades consisting of IL
pupils succeeded in getting defeated
at their hands. However, we en-
joyed their visit and hope some other
occasion will bring us together again.
Wilbur Beagle is out of school on
account of trouble with his eyes.
Little Irene Miller has returned to
school after an absence of several
weeks.
