DR.. Howerton, the speaker Of the
occasion, was preceded here by his
splendid reputation as speaker and
it was great pleasure for Highland
people to hear him. His theme was
along the line of higher patriotism,
it's place and urgent. need in civil life
especially in these days of reconstruc
ton.
DR.. Hnwerton referred to the fire
scare and near-panie OF the previous

our primitive school building, which
all agree is inadequate for our needs
and lacking in many essentials.
