ANTIQUE FURNITURE FAKIRS
WORKING

The Tollesboro correspondent of the
Vanceburg Sun says:
The sale of bogus antique furniture
goes forward merrily. Dealers in "old
fashion furniture" have hundreds Of
families scattered all over the county,
where manufactured antiques" are
regularly left, in the expectation that
they will attract the attention of some
rowing collector who will be quite
satisfied because he found his treasure
in farmhouse, and not in a store.
The people living in the houses are
willing enough to play their part
They get a commission on the sales
they have the free use of the furniture
and it is replaced as soon as sold.

THE HEROISM OF THE MOON.
LIGHT SCHOOL TEACHERS

Thousands of teachers have volun-
teered during the past five years to
teach moonlight schools and to rid
their districts of illiteracy. This
means six weeks service, four even
ings each week. These teachers 60
back to the school house and teach
two hours. In addition, they make
personal canvass, visiting every illit-
crate to explain the school, calm his
fears and persuade him to enroll If
he fails to come, they make second
or third visit. Teachers in some coun-
ties have volunteered and taught
moonlight school for four consecutive
years. The State Inspector and Ex
aminer in his report recently said,
Had the volunteer teachers Of Ken
lucky received even the nominal wage
of 81 per evening, their contribution
OF the State would amount to over one
half million dollars, or the. largest
contribution ever made by any profess
sion or organization to any public
cause in Kentucky" Frequently
teachers have written to the Kentucky
Illiteracy Commission that they have
enjoyed their moonlight school work
even better than the day school work
for which they are paid. Some tecah-
ers in Kentucky have taught as many
as twenty-five pupils to read and
write. One teacher taught seventy
five, combining four school districts
in one. The teacher in Kentucky who
has not taught, at least one Hitter
ate feels like Stacker. Many teach.
ers have already cleared their dis
tricts of illteracy and most of Ken.
