west of Tumen. The Siberian armies
are falling back in an orderly man
Eer at the rate of seven to ten
versts (4.6 to Sc miles) per day. The
brunt Of the fighting is falling upon
the rear guard, covering the retreat
of the main bodies. Guns, supplies,

as possible, are carried toward Omsk.

to feed and house the fugitives.
Magyars who were formerly war
prisoners and formed part of the gar

Second, in October 1915, we NOV
ed to McDufie county and for two
years put up with sixth grade men
trying to teach eighth and ninth
grade pupils. Again took the matter
of schools up and succeeded in hav-
ing the trustees hire principal that
could teach any grade up to the
thirteenth. Why were such teachers
allowed to teach? Because neither of
the board of trustees could have
taught the third grade. Where igno-
rance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise,
and 1 have found out during my life
that it is very hard to convince any
one that they are really ignorant,
well, you simply can't do. it.
Third, in December, 1917, we
moved to where we now are, but the
influenza put a stop to the school in
this section last winter. We had only
three weeks, but our school opened
last Monday with two teachers and
about thirty pupils. Did l have any
thing to do with getting two teachers
and promise of seven months
term? I have others to answer that
question.
How about the weather! Well, we
men folks and boys are still going
in our shirt sleeves and summer
pants with a good many patches).
IT'S more like June weather than
October. Have had no rain, except
light showers in seven weeks. The
wet weather in June and July injur-
ed the crops a great deal and what
was not drowned in the gardens. the
Harlequin bug ate it.
Three bales of cotton to the plow
is about the best 1 hear of in this Sec
tlon and corn nothing like full
crop. No grain sown yet and won't
be till it rains, ground too dry. Some
few have sown turnips but the few
that came up the sun killed.
I certainly enjoyed reading Red
Oak Grove this week. Hurrah! 1
