Mr.. TOWNLEY AND HIS PARTY


Bitter Root correspondent in an
other column, we may dismiss at
once several references as "irrcl-
evant and immatcrial," to quote
from distinguished advocates at
the Ravalli county bar.
We don't care whether Mr..
Townley looks like Lincoln or
not, since we are quite certain
that he is not another Lincoln.
We don't care what the New York
newspapers say about him. We
don't gather our opinions from
that source. We don't care wheth-
or he is a ''big brawny' farmer,
though apparently he is not a
successful one, since he went
bankrupt not so long ago. we
don't even care whether Mr..
Townley was received by Prcsi-
dent Wilson, or spoke from the
same platform. or shook hands
with Mr.. Hoover. The president
and Mr.. Hoover have met many
men who are not qualified to lead
great movements, political or
economic.
In word we care only for the
things that Mr.. Townley says and
does. In that way only, can we
get true appraisal of him.
There is on record the follow
ing affidavit.

That affidavit was signed by A
G. Townley and sworn to before
a notary public and is part of the
records Of Golden Valley county

We know where to find Mr.
Townley in the card index. We
have only to run through the

1T LAUREL HILL
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Laurel Hill, Fla, Sept The Lau-
rel Hill high school opened Monday
morning under the most promising
prospects for many years. There
were $50 pupils present, with good
many more to come. The patrons
were out in a goodly number, which
speaks we'll for the coming term. AT
ter devotional exercises by DR.. Webb,
Prof. j. Lee Smith made splendid
address on, "Our Duty to the School"
both as patrons and teachers, after
which Hon. ]. F. Richbourg made
very eloquent address on. Home and
Love-" after which Mr.. ID. r. Moore,
in his very characteristic style gave
US splendid talk along the line of
"Selfishness," from a different view
point than we ever heard, which was
met with a hearty applause.
The teachers for the term are: Miss
Effie K. Mcdonald, of DeFuniak
Springs. kindergarten and first
grade; Miss Minn~c Bridges, of Lau-
rel Hill, second and third grade; Mrs.
Rosa Lee Curve, of Laurel Hill,
fourth and fifth grade; Miss Lena
Coley, of Bluff Springs, sixth and
seventh grade; Miss Mae Wilkinson,
and Prof. J. Lee Smith, of Laurel
Hill, as principal, and IN charge of
the tenth and eleventh grades.
We were somewhat disappointed in
not being able to start the school in
our new building, there having been
some hitch in the work, but hope to
be able to get in long before the
term is up. We are striving to make
this one of the best schools in the
county, and hope to land the Summer
Training school next summer.
