 GreenIee County

The letter of Miss Amelia Gross of California, to the Greenlee County Board of Supervisors. appearing in last weeks Era, is Grossly" miss leading and Great Grossly" unjust.
 The Stacy-Gatlin School in the North end of the county is the object of Miss Cross wrath The writer is responsible for the Stacy-Gatlin school arrangement.
 MT. Stacy and MT. Gatlin are cow men and have been paying taxes in this county every since its organiza tion, and for many years prior to it's organization, as to that matter
 MT. Gatlin lives twenty miles north of Clifton on the Frisco river and MT. Stacy 2S miles north of Clifton on the Blue river These two families are separted by eight miles of rough mountains, the only trail following along the Blue river which is impas- sable most of the year. It is i'm possible to build a school house which would be accessible to both families Neither family has enough children to hold a public school under the law but the two families together have So, the average salary of one teacher for the, Stacy -Gatlin School district is. divided between the two familis No school building is maintained, nc contingent expenses incurred, and nc taxpayer in the county is injured by this arrangement:

 Well, we hope she got her first grade certificate back to California and keeps it there. From the Gross ness' of her efforts and trouble-mak- ing spirit. we judge her certificate was obtained in Arizona on a diploma from some little one-horse lock step college in the backwoods of my own native state, Arkansas.
 En this day of trying times we need school teachers who are willing to spend all of their time if necessary to make a noble citizen out of one single boy or girl.
 Talk about an 9th grade pupil teach ing school, had rather have a good honest farm hand teach and associate with my children than one of these old vinegar faces who spend more time looking for faults and trouble than they do looking for eternal thruths of righteousness, and spend more time studying a scheme tC raise a stench ill the community thar they do studying their Sunday Schoo lesson.

 Duncan is neither worse nor better than any other small town of the South West, in regard to social evils. In fact in local option days, long be- fore state wide prohibition law was passed, Duncan weathered two years drouth successfully.
 We are in perfect accord and sym pathy with the efforts of the good women of Duncan and we know they are in earnest. but if the peace of! ficers of Duncan are not doing their full duty the present officers them selves should be invited to attend the club meetings and the club has a right to demand efficient service of them.
 The Justice of the Peace of Dun can precinct declared publicly in his recent campaign that the moonshin- CTS and boot-leggers of Duncan pre- cinct had to make better booze, and sell it cheaper, or go out of business. The people took this as a joke but it was not The Justice of the Peace now declares that the moonshiners and bootlegers have not only ignored his demand but have raised the price of their rotten commodity. In all earnestness any man or woman of Duncan who is in possession of the Knowledge, or who has a good reason ! to believe, that the liquor laws of i; this state are being violated in Dun can, and will go before the J. P. and make affidavit to the effect, we l guarentee that a warrant or search

Under prohibition, whiskey is a luxury, therefore more disired, talk ed about, and sought after than ever before. It occupies more space and time in our school books and school work, a more prominent place in the Sunday Sermon, more time in 1egisIa- tive halls, more space in the world of politics and economics and crime and literature, and the mind of the public.
 Before whiskey can be abolished it must be forgotten and before it can be forgotten all of it's history from old Noah to the present must be destroyed. All literature and science and art pertaining to it must be des- troyed and all the impressions it has made upon the mind of the human family must be erased and then-and then-nd then, the coming gener- ations will rediscover it just as old Noah did, or the little mouse, that stepped in a puddle of it and licked his foot and then said: where is that damn cat"
