 The loyal teachers think that that all teachers of the county D should attend the county asso- ciatiOns, or send to the asso- citation by the superintendent reasonable excuse for non-at- tendance. Very few teachers were absent from this meeting, and most of them sent good excuses.

 Dec. 1, 1919 MT. Wm. B. Folsom, Brinkley, Ark.


 Brinkley, Ark.
 Dear Sir j.. I am enclosing you my check to cover subscription to Dec. 31, 1920, to Argus.
 I cannot ever entirely forget "old B1inkley" and your paper keeps us posted on things ''back home" so that we can't very we'll get along without it..
 When 1 go back to Brinkiey now 1 see strange faces, some of whom were children and have grown to manhood and womanhood since my leaving, so that 1 feel almost like a stranger, except that my own and my wifes relatives still live there.
 I am so glad to see an inn provement along many lines, such as your Bankhead high way, your beautiful little park, your school (note l didn't say building) and many other things. If you business men would get together in an or ganization and all work togeth- CT, there is no reason why you should not have a real city in a few years. They, meaning members of the organization, should visit other towns close home, and see what a live or -ganization has done, such as Jonesboro, Paragould, Stutt- gart, or our own city Helena see how fast they are develop ing and progressing along every line, because of the united eff fort of cooperation and service to the community, then go and do likewise. I am forgetting my self however, as perhaps they haven't asked that I lecture them on what their duty is.
 My wife joins me in love to you and Mrs. Folsom and in wishing you the very happiest Christmas and New Year of your entire life, l am,
 Very respectfully yours,
 c. T. Hudson

 Dec. 8, 1919 Dear MT. Folsom:
 Your subscription statement came during my absence from home and that accounts for your not hearing from me. MT. Duffey and l were in Florida, and only recently returned. Immediately after returning from there I went to Kentucky for a short visit, and reached home only about two days ago. I am enclosing check for $2.00 to pay my subscription to the Argus to Dec. 31, 1920. l enjoy reading it so much. and am always anxious to receive the "next" issue. After reading it, I send it to mamma, and she awaits it's coming as eager ly as l do.
 I enjoyed our Florida trip very much. MT. Duffey owns several pieces of land there, be- sides being interested in a grove with his father and mother. I was very favcrably impressed with Florida, and we intend to make our home there sometime in the future. There is an abundant crop of oranges and grapefruit this season. l have never seen any prettier sight than those orange and grapefruit trees la den with their fruit.
 Hoping you and Mrs. Folsom are enjoying best of health, and wishing you each a most hap py Christmas; and with all good wishes for the continued good service of the Argus. 1 am
 Sincerely,
 Agnes Mettingly-Duffey
