knock, knock, knock of the ham,
mer on each side of us. To the
right Mr.. S. L. Spray is putting
up the house of Mr.. T. W. Abrams.
He intends having it ready for them
to move in and have plenty of time
to plan the Christmas dinner; maybe
it will be finished in time for the
Thanksgiving turkey.
On the other side, just back of
Mr.. j. w. Hipp and facing the new
street near Mr.. E. E. Child's resi-
dence, Mr.. Robert Wright is build
ing a pretty cottage for Mr.. Robert
Duckett. Just back of US the large
wooden building that will house the
moving picture show for the colored
people and perhaps the negro school,
the brick church for the colored
people and a large number of AL
laddin houses for them are nearing
completion.
We note with pleasure the progress
being made in the Long Lane
school. We were a teacher in this
school for five years and this move
ment is of especial interest to US
as some of our pupils are leaders in
it. Benjamin Franklin says some
thing like this, 'To empty your
puzse in your head pays the best in
terest." Just now manual labor is
greatly in demand and what seems
to us exorbitant prices are being
paid for it. A few months since
while encouraging sixteen year old
girl to stay in the high school she
gave me this answer, ,'"Why / can
quit now and go to work in the mill
and get better salary than you are
getting" What she said was true;
but it doesn't make the saying of
Franklin false, for the interest accru-
ing from an investment in education
is not in dollars and cents alone, but
gives to the. world social standing,
culture, health and happiness. Upon
education as the foundation stone we
have builded this wonderful, pro-
gressive, scientific age in which we
live.
