LEWA GROUP OF CAMP FIRE
GIRLS ENTERTAINED

Seven years ago, March II, the
Camp Fire Girl Organization start
ed. Today it has grown until it is
found in most countries and
in almost every town and city of the
United States. The Camp Fire Or
ganization is to girl what the Scout
Organization is to the boy. During
the recent year they took a large part
in the work for the U. S. in buying
stamps and bonds. In order to COM
memorate the seventh birthday and
the first birthday Of their group the
Lewa Camp Fire Group composing of
Martha Buffaloe, Dorothy Oldham,
Lydia Lewis, Ruth Scott, Margaret
Calnathan, Edith Marie Kirkwood,
Edith Brown, Lottye Vernon White

their mothers and two of their friends
at the home of their guardian, Mrs.
H. NJ. Faser. Mrs. Faser gave talk
on Camp Fire work. A part Of the
impressive candle lighting ceremony
was given by the girls in their uni
forms. Miss Martha Buffaloe had
won the most honors for the year and

Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts:
II approve Of the plan. The money
will have to be raised, therefore it is
essential that every one put his
shoulder to the wheel and help"
Julius Kahn, Representative from
California: "Of course / endorse the
plan. endorse any plan designed
to promote the general welfare and
particularly this one, for it merely
means raising money to pay the ex-
penses of bringing back home our
brave boys and of looking out for them
until the period of economic re-
adjustment is over"
; Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia: 'To invest in Government Sc
curities is no sacrifice. | look upon
it as sound investment. Every man
or woman can afford Liberty Bond

buyer is not only doing great thing
for his country but Is doing an in

"PIGS IS PIGS"
Mr.. Editor:

Some few days ago cur very able
and conscientious Superintendent of
city schools called a meeting Of the
patrons at the Court House.
He told the folks some plain truths
about the deficiencies of their school
and how badly it was behind ether
schools of like grade IN the State.
There was considerable discussion Of
the subject and while everybody want
ed to do something, 1t seemed to be
the general opinion that the town
was so badly in debt that nothing
could be done.
Just short time after the meeting
a gentleman in the street remarked
1--WE can't do anything for cur schools,
Out we are hell on raising hogs"
And that seems to be true. We'll
let our children go half raised and
Wen all go to raising hogs.
Vacant spots in the town that should
now be putting on beautiful carpets of
green and with fruit trees in full
bloom a delight to the senses are
nothing more than barren wastes
smelling to high heaven with the
stencil of hog wailows Can you beat
it? Hogs is the the thing. Let's
raise some more hogs.

Lula May Ayles were selected from
the girls.
The shower given to the girls last
Saturday evening was one of the
events of the week. Mr.. 2. M. Nc
Elroy, who owns the old Weaver resi-
dence was generous enough to allow
the girls to fit up one of the rooms for
a community kitchen. So last Satur-
day evening quite number of boys
and girls and some of the older boys
and girlss met in this building for
cards, games and "eats." Sandwiches
and punch were served. One of the
features of the occasion was a burles-
que on negro revival. Walton Jones
was the preacher. Miss Grace Jones
was the star shouter. Miss Jewel
Ayles was the star foot-patter and
holder. Paul Jones the song leader.
Miss Lorene Jones the main mouner,
and also number Of lesser lights al
SO glittered. The spectators stood by
and held their sides. The good people
were very generous with the shower
and the girls are very proud of their
kitchen. They are trying now to get
enough money to buy an oil stove, and
until they can buy one, they will use
a borrowed one. They will have quite
a surprise for Mrs. Ramsey when she
comes again. You can't keep bunch
of youngsters down when they have
an ambition like these, truly, "the
youth is the hope of the nation"

port for the floating of new bond

War Savings and Thrift Stamps dur
ing 1919 is to be found on the Capitol
Hill. Snators and members of the
House Of Representatives are con-
WINGED that the sale of Government
securities for another year is essen

which to meet postwar obligations.

! FROM" asked Majority Leader
Kitchin in reply to an inquiry regard
ing his views on the 1919 campaign
for the sale of War Savings Stamps.
"There is no doubt but that expenses
are going to be heavy for some time
after peace is declared and the peo-
pie must do their share. We cannot
make taxes too heavy. There will be
need for funds in addition to those
which will be raised under the revenue
bill just reported"
"The people must support the Gov
eminent until the war is won," de-
clared Champ Clark, Speaker of the
House. "The actual fighting is over,
that is true, but we have got to see
that our debts are paid, and every
one must help"
81 heartily approve of the sale Of
Government securities during the COM
ing year." said Representative Gil
lett, of Massachusetts, candidate for
Speaker of the House. "1t is not only
an excellent way for every citizen to
do his duty but to my mind it is a
fine scheme for promoting thrift and
individual saving"
every person who subscribed to
Liberty Bonds or purchased War Saw
ings Stamps last year should repeat
the performance this year," asserted
Representative Rainey, of Illinois,
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
"The brave soldiers who fought that
we might live and who so nobly main
tanned American traditions and ideals
must be brought home" Senator
Chamberlain, Chairman of the Senate
Military Committee, pointed out.
"This will entail a great deal of ex
pense. When they return we, must
find suitable positions for them, care
for the wounded, and look after many
phases of the readjustment problem
which will demand considerable out

FINAL REPORT OF
THE GRAND JURY.

To Judge J. L. Crum:
We the Grand Jury having been in
session now five days, and having
examined IS witnesses and having re-
turned into open court IL true bills of
Indictment, beg leave TO submit this
our final report.
We have examined the County Jail
and find same in good and sanitary
condition.
We have examined the County
Home and find it also in good and
sanitary condition and inmates there
in we'll cared for.
We have examined witnesses as to
the general condition of the county
roads and as a general rule find them
in fairly good condition, but would
say and report that there are several
bad places in many districts in the
county that should have been looked
after long ago by the Board of Su-
pervisors, especially on the Lafayette
Springs road one mile from Denmark,
in Mr.. S. M. Parham's district, which
place in the road has been almost i'm
passable for a period of about two
weeks, and no effort made by the Su-
pervisor to have same repaired. We
have refrained from returning in
dictment against him hoping that he
will attend to same at once.
We have Investigated the books of

to investigate the same.
Now having finished our duties as
we find them to be, we beg leave to
