Our schools opened here at nine
O'Clock Tuesday morning with Flag
Raising on the school grounds. The
flag was presented by Mr.. c. r.
Pratt, president of the school board,
with a few Introductory remarks.
There was short patriotic address
Of about 20 minutes each, given by
DR.. H. A. Smoot, pastor of the First
Baptist church, and ID. II. Cameron,
editor of the Lead Belt News, which
were very interesting. AS the flag
was being raised the school children
sang "The Star Spangled Banner"
They also sang several other patriotic
songs during the program. The pro-
gram was closed by Lieut.. w. E. Ben
nick standing on the Auditorium steps
leading the children in yells of pa
triotic nature. Things of this kind
will be long remembered by the chill
dren as we'll as others.
Mrs. Chas. Gorda, whose husband is
now in France, and who is making her
home with her father, Barney Frye,
living in Crawley Bottom, attempted
to take her life Monday evening by
drinking carbolic acid. She and her
fathers sister, Eva Frye, had started
for St. Louis against The wishes of the
father and were at the station when
he learned this and followed them. On
seeing him they jumped through a
window, attempting to escape, but the
father brought Mrs. Gorda back to
his home and fearing he would cruelty
punish her she ran in and drank the
carbolic acid. She had threatened her
life before but the family didn't think
she was in earnest. 1t was at first
thought she couldn't live but now
there are hopes for her. She is only
II years old.
