Glover, September 11.-According to
announcement of Superintendent w.
r. Koon, the Glover High school will
open for the current session on next
Monday, It was expected that the
formal opening would take place last
Monday; but it was postponed, due to
the fact that all arrangements for the
opening had not been completed. How
ever, as was mentioned in this corre-
spondence some time ago, full corps
Of teachers has been secured, all OF
them teachers of experience andability
and all other arrangements have been
made for the opening next Monday.
Very probably brief formal exercises
will be held in connection with the
opening. Glover will have the largest
number of pupils in school this year in
the history of the town, due to natural
increase, the enforcement Of the COM
pulsory attendance law and the fact
that certain sections in another school
district have been added to the Glover
district.
Made Good Money in the Army.
Charles NJ. Dickson returned to his
home in Glover several weeks ago after
serving with the American expedition
ary forces overseas has re-opened his
barbershop-the OK, in Glover, and is
back on the old job again. Mr.. Dick
son worked as q company barber IN
the army, and according to his own
statement, barbering was much more
profitable work in the army than 1t Is
in Glover, Yorkville or any other old
burg that he knows anything about.
The army authorities in France were
not only kind enough to allow him to
keep all the money he took in from
work; but they furnished him with
towels and soap. All that he had to do
was to furnish his tools and willing
ness to put out" The pickings were
GOOD, he says, and some months he
made as much as 5000 amputating the
boards and the hair Of doughboys. He
saved more than $1,000 while he was
in the service, and he says that IL he
could have ever got rid Of that home
feeling or If home had been right at
him, he would be perfectly content to
work as an army barber the balance
of his natural days.
Government Groceries Received.
Postmaster James A. Barrett said on
Tuesday that two shipments of gro
ceries ordered by people of Glover and
vicinity from the government, while
the grocery sale was in progress, have
been received in Clover One shipment
came in last Saturday and the other
came in Tuesday. The articles pur-
chased included groceries Of almost
every kind on Uncle Sans large hst
and those who have received them are
more than pleased with their pur-
chases.
Fraternal Activities.
Considerable activity is manifest in
Glover fraternal sections at the present
time, especially among the Masons and
the Junior Order. A large number Of
applicants have recently been received
in both lodges and the fraternities are
busy at their regular meetings in the
work of administering degrees. Clo-

the best fraternal order towns in the
state, and people, e,generally always feel
more or less interest in fraternal mat
ters.
