Board Of Health, and secured prop
er sanitation and pure water sup

and Homes given by Dean Marsh
was well received and served as
TO those who had al
ready commenced the work in their
directions.
School Crippled
The school is crippled by the State
law. The census taken every two
years does not provide for the in
lux Of new pupils this year. An
extra teacher is needed and no
money has been allowed for this
teaching Of these forty TO fifty
children, who have come into the
town. II Is TO be hoped that the
coal companies may do what the
steel company did for Gary children,
take hold Of the financial burden OF
the school and see TO IL that the
children of their employees have a
good fighting chance for q practical
education at Fvarts.

CLOSE OF BEREA RURAL LIFE
INSTITUTE

The Berea Rural Life Institute
closed its session with a ten days
stay at Evarts. IL has been the rule
OF the Institute TO remain but one
week in a place but the good people
Of Evarts laid hold OF the workers
with such zeal that IL was impossible
to get away at the appointed time.
Warm Reception
The warm reception and generous
hospitality Of the Evarts people can
never be forgotten by the workers.
Delicious apples, tomatoes, squash,
corn, etc, from the garden, with
flour, sugar. canned goods, and
spring chickens found their way
mysteriously into the Berea kitchen
tent. Spring chicken, all that the
campers could eat 49, think Of IL -
as the last drumstick disappeared
down the red lane, where the swai-
lows homcward fly, the holder was
heard to mournfully murmur, Tho
lost from sight to memory dear
This was the sentiment Of all the
workers. not only in regard TO chick
en-, but to Evarts and its people.
Evarts Reaches Crisis
Evarts has been peaceful agri-
cultural hamlet ncstclcd nj the foot
of the Black Mountains. But II has
reached a great crisis in its civic
life. Coal has been found in remu-
ncratiye quantities in its mountains
and the songs uf the birds are now
disturbed by the sound Of the mat
tox and pick.
A railroad is being rapidly pushed
Ia completion, which connects
Evarts with the world. The brisk
grandmother of nj years, who told
the workers she had never seen
cars and did not want to see them,
must shortly see from her own
porch the smoke from the locomo-
tive rise with the mist from the Ia
miliar mountains and hear its
shricks break the long silence. Vital
changes are coming To Evarts.
Bayliss. Glover Fork. Poor Fork, and
Yocum Creek are no longer public
highways. Steel rails ard ties take
their places.
