A RELIC OF SLAVERY

Mr.. G.. L. Braley has handed in
a relic at this office in the form of
a bill of sale for 12-year-old girl,
sold by Joel Stevenson, and "guaran-
teed to be sound and sociable, slave
for life, and title unquestionable." +"
The document is dated at Columbia,
s. c., July 10, 1874.
Accompanying the bill of sale is
a wad of Confederate money for
which Mr.. Braley's mother sold a
horse in 1854. Before she got 1t
spent it became worthless. A bullet
picked up by Mr.. Braley some years
ago on the battle-ground of Chica-
mauga, accompanies the other SOU
venirs. Mr.. Braley says he remem-
bers an incident of his boyhood fol-
lowino the battle of Pittsburg Land
ing, when he and his mother went
out along the banks of the river on
which the old home was located and
saw so many bodies of soldiers
lodged along the stream, they pulled
12 of them out and covered them
with earth to keep the buzzards from
them.

PARENTS AND TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION MEETING

The Partents and Teachers asso-
citation will meet In the High School
auditorium, Friday afternoon. By
some people 1t is understood that
only parents and teachers are invit-
ed to come, but this is mistaken
idea. 1t should be generally known
that all interested parties are well
come and a cordial invitation is ex-
tended to them by all parents and
teachers to come to these meetings
which are proving to be very inter-
esting. Also If any person has q
question that the association could
decide for them or in any way help
in, or If there is a subject that any
one considers a suitable and help
full topic for future discussion, 1t ID
desired that they be dropped into
the question box, as this may greatly
help the program committees.
Mrs. Caster has charge of the
music for this meeting and 1t ex-
pected to be very good.

SCHOOL NOTES

The art exhibit proved to be fine
success in every way. One hundred
and twenty odd dollars were taken
in. Many pictures will be bought
to adorn our school rooms with this
money. The price of the pictures
average about three dollars apiece.
All the school children from the wee
youngsters, who could not even pro-
nounce, exhibit" to the larger ones,
who considered the selling of tickets
below their dignity, worked hard and
cahvassed the town thoroly. The
pupils in Miss Grace Wright's room
sold the most tickets for the Central
school, while Miss O'Rourke's s
scholars were first for the Irving
school. The programs on Wednes-
day and Thursday nights were very
good and we'll attended. On thurs
day night it is estimated that count
ing the school children there were
900 present.
The debate between Blackfoot and
Shelley has twice been postponed,
but the date is now finally set for
Friday night, March 10. The Shelley
play will also be on this night.
The grade report cards were out
on Tuesday and the high school cards
on Wednesday. There were few fail
ures and the work generally is ex-
ceptionally good. Two pupils who
were conditioned into high school
were put back to the eighth grade.
The commercial student, who have
this week been testing the penman-
ship of every child in the grades by
the Ayers score, find that the aver
age for the four lower grades Is
above the average, while in the four
higher grades the everage is slightly
below the standard of the schools
that have been tested by this meth
cd. In the upper grades owing to
the oyercrowded conditions the
pupils have penmanship lessons given
by the special teacher only and then
but once or twice a week. While IN
the lower grades the individual
teachers devote certain time each
day to this branch of study. These
conditions are hoped to be remedied
in the spring.
The class in sociology is now
studying divorce, the causes and
remedies, under the theory that a
word to the wise is sufficient AS
one Sam Mulville has made several
dissertations against the woman't
rights movement. In the United
States there is one divorce for every
ten marriages, there being more di
vorces in the United States In one
wear than in all the other countries
nut together. This appalling condi
tion js increasing all the time, ant
it has been estimated by those VIZ VIZ
have studied the matter that In ls9o
at the present rate OF increase, tni
country would have a condition 0
Ipromiscuity, that is, that 30 per cen
Of all marriages would result in oil
vorce.

MUSICAL TREAT
BY WEIGH SINGERS

The concert given by the Welsh
singers, Friday night, at the high
school, was very fine. Even those
who were not particularly fond Of
music found the artists highly en-
tertaining. All blues and grouches
were driven way by their many
humorous, gay songs and the entire
audience felt happier and better in
every way after hearing them. It Is
hard to say which numbers were the
finest, however, the Hallelujah
chorus brought forth perhaps the
most applause, The solo work done
by Mr.. Ben johnson was also ex-
ceptionally good.
There was fair sized crowd out,
but not nearly as many as were ex-
pected by the musicians. They had
planned on two-hundred-dollar
house and instead an eight-seven-d
lar one greeted them.

BLAoKFooT GIRLS AT ALBION

As is known by most Blackfoot
people number Of our student are
attending the state normal at Albion
Among them are Myrtle and Zelma
Simmons, daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. HI. Simmons, and it will please
their many friends here to learn that
they are getting along so nicely. Re-
Gently the school put on an operetta
entitled, "The Renant." The leading
role was taken by Myrtle, who is
taking vocal; and Zelma, who is q
student in piano work, had very
prominent part. Both young ladies
did very fine and were the most
complimented pupils there. From all
reports we believe the praise was
we'll merited. Miss Hopkins, the
vocal instructor, is very much in
terested in both girls, as she believes
they have voices, which with train
ing, will develop excellent qualities.

be coupled with what is done II it

enough individuals wanting county

might be enough individual interest

the present time they have not ex-
pressed their interest.

beginning at the first for the third

MOOSE DANCE

A most enjoyable dance was given
at Progress hall on the evening of
February "a, by the local lodge OF
the Loyal Order of Moose. Excel
lent music was furnished by the
Blackfoot orchestra, light refresh
ments were served and the gathering
broke up at o'clock in the morning.
The boys suggest that those faint
hearted knights who attended the
dance unaccompanied, take a little
nerve tonic of some sort and come
to the next dance with lady COM
panion.
