becca Branch. music teacher, at
the piano Scripture reading BY
Rev. j. W. Wallace and prayer by
Rev. J. B. Maxedon. The Star
Spangled Banner" was sung by
the audience standing. County
Superintendent Terry Abernathy
was on for the opening address
in which he made many pracaical
suggestions, and assured the fac
ulty that he would do everything
in his power to make this the
best school ever in the county.
A recitation by Mrs. w. G. Rob,
inson, teacher in English and

Vance was the next speaker, and
he gave a few practical suggest
ions to teachers, and believed
that Principal Robinson was the
right man in the right place:

the faculty, made a very forceful
speech. He opened by saying he

count of the absence of most of
the business men of the town.

part, but unless he had the COOP
Grafton of the town board of ed
ucation. the school would not be
what he would like for it to be.
After few other preliminaries
the children were examined as to
the books they needed. 1t was
announced that next Friday week
at Up. M, it was desired that ev-
cry mother in Selmer meet at the
Coliege Hail and organize a Moth.

not as full an attendance of the
parents and cur BUSINESS men as
there should have been, yet j,

New German Peace offensive.

Just as America starts preparation
for the Fourth Liberty Loan the Ger

peace suggestion. Belgium will be
restored. the terms intimate. but the
Kaiser wants his colonies restored.

scarcely scratched, and with the
fighting spirit just now beginning to

Judge Lands, of Chicago, has
sentenced the |. W. VS.. on tria!
in his court for months. The
bunch, headed by w. D. Haywood
and thirteen others, got twenty
years and heavyfines. Ten-year
sentences on thirty-three others,
while twelve received smaller
sentences. This has been a long
and sensational trial of the worst
enemies the Government ever
had. The leaders will be cured
by the time they have served
their long terms.

day pushing back of the enemy
against a strong resistance, but
not strong enough to prevent the
Allies from taking a few towns
and strategic points every day.
It is now simply a matter Of men
and resources. The Allies are in.

decreasing. We still think one
more year will bring a final blow
that will end the war. Our four
or lixe million men can do the job.
