 At the school board meeting held Monday evening the committee took action on the reelection of teachers and increased the salaries of some of them. It was also voted that the teachers be paid for 38 weeks work instead ot 37 weeks because on account of single holidays they are held over an extra week during the year to make up lost time. A motion, which was not |, completed, for a garden club among tue scholars of the public schools was discussed The following motion was passed: lowing to the emergency created by our national need the school committee recommends that individual students of the high school over fourteen years of age may be released from a part of their school work for services in increasing the food supply. Whenever such release is made the school faculty shall have definite knowledge that a position actually awaits the released student, and arrangements must be made to minimize the loss of school instruction so that there will be no lowering of a school standard in giving credit for the school work. No student so released will be given credit for the years work unless he is doing satis. factory work
 Orcuttville
 The Press: Some time ago the tax. payers of the Orcuttville district signed petition asking the town of Stafford for the removal of the old school. house or the building of a new one. The petition was before the school com mittee, the building committee and our selectmen, and your paper gave notice that town meeting would be called. Up to the present no town meeting has been called. The voters of this district are not asking the town of Stafford for mahogany palace. We simply ask for suitable school in the village of Orcuttville with decent surroundings which the children of Ithis district are deprived of now May ask through your valuable paper why the voters of district No. do not have chance to state their grievance to the town of Stafford.

At night my back pained me so couldn't sleep we'll. doctored and took medicine, but got no relief. Finally, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and the trouble disappeared.

FARMER.

On last Monday, the 18th, at
las, p. m, the life of Loretta
w. Farmer came to an end, and
spirit returned to the God who
gave it. Mr.. Farmer was one Of
our best citizens and business
men. He came here in the early
days of the oil excitement, as a
contractor and driller. single
man looking for his fortune, and
no doubt a future home. He made
good in the oil business, and ac-
cumulated quite a deal of money.
After the oil excitement had sub
sided, he went in to the mining
business and made quite a success
of it.
He married Miss Edna, daugh-
ter of ex-Congressman Wilson, of
this city, and to them were born
three children. They have lived
all the time since their marriage
in this city.
Mr.. Farmers death came as a
shock and surprise to all, he had
been complaining for sometime
of asthma, but was not consider
ed dangerous until Sunday night
the 18th, when he suddenly be-
came worse, and the end came
about 1:45 p. m. Monday.
The funeral was held last We'd
nesday at the residence, Rev.
Creel saying the last sad requiem
over his remains; he was inferred
in the city cemetery.
He leaves a wife. one son and
two daughters, to mourn that he
should have to go; besides these,
there are many friends and other
relatives that mourn for him that
was, but who is not now of earth
any more.

TO THE PUBLIC

The Barbourvilie Baptist In
stitute opens September 9Th for
the annual session of 1918. 1t
is our wish to make this the great
est year in the history of the
school. This wish doesn't in the
least belittle the great work that
the school has done in the past,
we could not do that if we were so
inclined. Every village and ham,
let in this and adjacent counties
bespeaks the good that this school
has accomplished. But a laud-
able ambition impelS US to try to
make this the banner year of its
history.
If we are to succeed in this work
we must have the cooperation
of our own home people. This
assistance should not come alone
from a natural and commendable
pride we feel in our home town,
but from a deep and abiding love
we should have for the boys and
girls throughout our territory
that are likely to let the oppor-
tunity pass unless we reach them.
| am today my brothers keep
er, as Cain was in the long ago,
applies to every generation of
men. 1t apples to you and to me.
Let us acquit ourselves like men
and women.
Now is the time God is calling
US to the test. The E n G S h
speaking people are on trial. and
and that liberty that we love so
we'll is on taial today. Shall we
be slackers? or shall we here and
now determine that we shall
nurse and care for education the
very germ and life of civilization
and liberty.
Today the schools in the lead
ing countries of Europe are closed.
The fact that the Atlantic rolls
between us and the enemy is the
only reason that our schools are
now open. God has wonderfully
blessed us in our isolation; let us
not fail TO use the advantage
that He has given us.
| earnestly request every pat
ron of the school to be with us
1000 a. m. September 9Th, 1917
in the hool auditorium.
| wish to discuss more vita
questions relating to school life
with the fathers and mothers OF
the boys and girls who come to
US.
The entire public are cordially
invited, nay. urged to be present
also. We assure you a hearty
welcome.
J. L. BRYAN, President.
