school, but somehow it. ceased to func-
ton, though the ladies of the COM
munity have been doing fine commun-
ity work. We organized here with
Mrs. E. 3. Feagle as president and
Mrs. J. NJ. Buckley vice-president;
Mrs. S. J. Shannon, secretary; Mrs.
B. S. Derrick, treasuer The commit
tees will be named and a meeting held
very soon so that the association may
qualify for some Of the prizes.
Tabernacle.
From Jalapa we. drove over to Tab
ernacle. The road was very rough
and no doubt was not we'll for sick
person to undertake, and l should not
have driven Miss Thomas over it, but
was anxious to visit this school as l
had not been there during the ses-
sion. There seemed to have been a
Misunderstanding about the meeting,
and there was not any one present.
Miss Parish, the demonstration agent,
had been there the day before and
some of the ladies took it that was the
meeting / had called. We spent a
pleasant hour with Miss jamie Chal-
mers and the children of the school
and l feel sure that the good ladies of
this community will organize the as
'sociation at the picnic on Saturday.
Miss Thomas met Mrs. Miller and
left with her some of the literature
and there is every reason why the lad
les of this school should have an as
ISOLATION.
Kinards
We kept our appointment at Kin
ards but Miss Lucy Riser said that l
had set the dinner hour for the meet
ing and the ladies could not be pres
ent. l thought l was getting just far
enough ahead of the dinner hour so
that the meeting would be over in
time for us to take dinner with some
of the good folk of this community.
But there is already fine association
at this school and the teachers say
they can always, depend on the asso-
citation to back up and help anything
they undertake for the school. And
that is true. The only thing is they
should run their money through the
county treasurer's hands so that the
district would get credit for it and
they will do it in the future.
We drove around by Reedersville
where they were several of the ladies
present and some of the men. Miss
Thomas was not able to talk very
much to them but they organized
with Mrs. ]. A.. Davis as president
and Mrs. P. C. Workman as secre-
tary and will complete the organiza-
tion very soon.
We made a hurried call at Bush
River-.but we hads,gotteasahead if
schedule and .did-not tarry Mrs.
Buford said she would take up the
matter with the ladies of the COM
munity. We should have something
in both ReedervilEe and Bush River
for the improvements made in the
schools.
We were forced on account Of the
illness of Miss Thomas to cancel
without notice the meeting at Smyr-
nR.
Miss Thomas will come back be-
fore long and we will finish the
rounds of the schools and take in
some that we did not have on the
schedule. I am sure that her visit
this week will result in good and
when we get around to all the COM
munities and get the community
spirit at work there will be great !
things doing for the schools.
/ hope that all the teachers who
can possibly do so will attend the
teachers meeting at Whitmire on
Saturday. Mr.. Swearingen is to be
with US and l would like to see many
of the trustees there. This will be
the last meeting of the school year
and I am sure you will enjoy a visit
to the live town of Whitmire.
