hool and for the Red Bone school we
refer them, first, 10 an article ap.
bearing in this paper in regard ia
same.
You will notice that the occasion
attracted many ofour Leesburg Citi.
zens and ! don't believe a single per.
son from Leesburg but what he was
prepared to contribute hlsrart. The
receipts amounted to 1857. So
We wish to congratulate The Red
Bone school upon its success.
We do not know of a single per-
present at the Red Bone box supper
who was not satisfied and they arc
all talking about the progress made
by the school in the past few months.
We are sure thatthose who con.ri-
buted to the occasion last Friday
night could not have possibly con-
trlbuted to better cause. We wish
to congratulate Prof S. +. Petit
and his assistants upon the wond er
ful developement the Red Bone Sc
hool is undergoing. The people Of
Red Bone and the entire county owe
to Prof Petit Financial and spirit
ual support in payment Of his efforts
to toward the Red Bone School. We
again congratulate them.
You will please remember thebox
supper given some two weeks past
by the Teeslurg High School "OUR
SCHOOL,. The occasion was large
" attended. by the ladies, only a
Few men being presentand we might
add that most Of these sat on their
pocket books with all available weig-
ut. The receipts amounted to S48.

New people Of Aaesblfg, please
consider The difference in our city
md Red Bone, in population, in
business and also the difference in
he size Of the schools. Our school
has grown to the extent where it
has long since been necessary to pc
ition the school auditorium in ord
II to have room for the different
,lasses. We are also using the cid
cunt house fora portion ofthe class
s. The heating system Of stoves
las long since been ont Of use in
modern schools. Itianot necessary
o mention the many needs Of the
ichools for we can only remendy it
with new school buildingr But,
W long as we are forced to use what
we have the cooperation Of the peo-
pie will greatly benefit the school.
With all the size, population, and
business interest we have and the
Fat pocket books that run loose we
we're only able to raise48. % at our

by Red Bone At the same time
everybody knew that the proceeds
Of the occasion were to be used 10
install a science labortory in 'OUR
LITTKE WOODEN SCHOOL
HOUSE on the hill. Itseems that
the money we should have had
at JOUR- BOX SUPPER was TAX
en- elsewhere. It's a great thing to
help any community or any school
but our home SCHOOL, is badly in
need Of help itself and it seemslike
neglect on someone's part to complete
ly ignore that which is benficial to
our school and desposit their money
for the same purpose in another
school district. | believe another
chance should be given to the Less
burg people to contribute toward
the improvement Of the school and
should the occasion again be pre-
seated we wish to see the entire city
lpresent. BE there and let it be known
or else yon may be termed a piker.
