and girls in our immediate neighbor- hood who could be developed into splendid men and women, If the Iroper interest was taken by the fathers and mothers to place around them the environment necessary to their development. Parents, your bovs and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow. Don make the same mistake with your children that perhaps your parents made with you. Remember. anything worth while requires some sacrifice, trouble and expense, and more or each is required in bringing up cnllo- ren so they may reflect credit on their parents, than is necessary Tor anything else. However, nothing will give greater returns for your sacrl- flee, trouble and expense, than good Sunday school in any com munity. Think it over and meet at your school house Sunday, March 24. Be there promptly at 2:30 p. m. and organize a Sunday school for our fine boys and girls. They need our help in their making and 1t IS our duty to give it to them. Will we do our duty? believe we will. w. P. Bray and T.. c. Young made a business trip to Moro Wednesday. &**%

 The closing exercises of Yarbrough school Friday was an event Of re- markable features and was greatly enjoyed by a few of the patrons and two directors. The program rendered reflects credit on the principal, l.. Y Whittenton, and speaks volumes for the pupils Anyone could readily see the advancement made by the school both in studies and department. A short address by the principal was the last number of the program, but not least by any means, as his re marks were well taken and interest ing because they have to do with the making and upbuilding of our com munity, our school and our society.
 The stories told by the different grades is another feature worthy Of special mention, as they were taken at random from their text books and related in a. concise manner all from memory, and in many instances several months had elapsed since they read them over.
 We only see one mistake in con nection with the occasion and that was the absence of the patrons who by all means, should have given en' couragement both to teachers and pupils by their presence.
