quote. From the Mayer.

The letter purports to be en- answer
to Mr.. Craig's challenge to Mr.. GLroy
to debate. Apparently, from Mr.
Hymans reply. 1ir. Craig's challenge
contained the typographical blunder OF
spelling Murray Hulberts name "Hurl-
burt" for the reply to Mr.. Craig con-
tains this paragraph:
~1n the light OF what we have learned.
ve suppose 1t would not be gracious on
our part to say that one vote for Hy;sn
might be justified and that 1t would be
his own. The same applies TO Craig
and 'Hurlburt.' Is IL the same person
who at times Is referred to as Mother
Hubbard-wnoever the latter may be or
what Office he may be candidate for?
We have searched the records n vain
for the namo Of any candidate called
'Hurlburt' in opposition to Mr.. Gilroy.'
Continuing. the letter says:
"As TO the question: Should one vote
for Democratic or Republican Assem-
which we understand to be from n
declaration Of your candidate for
Mayor:
I'm this crisis party names and
party lines and party fealty become

You further say: IL you are not able

you advise us TO whom we may turn?'

New Hope News
BY Polly

Dear Mr.. Editor: Having been alb
sent for few weeks, we will knock
at your Threshold again for admit
tance to give you some news from
this section.
We had some gloomy weather for
some time, and the farmers were get
ting somewhat blue, butlif the present
weather continues for few days, old
Beck and Jack will finish up the work.
Most Of the farmers had their land in
splendid condition, and were only wait
ing for d favorable time to plant.
The health Of the people Of this
community is good, generally speaking,
the only exception being a few with
colds. -
Our school is doing splendid work.
The students have made good prog
ress, and most Of them will complete
two grades this session. s
Land-buyers visit this section every
week. We welcome them, knowing
that New Hope is the best place in
the country, and we wish all home
seekers the same happiness that we
have found in New Hope.
Mr.. J. C. Golding was welcome
visitor in the home of Mr.. P. C. Free
man on Thursday.

Mrs. Fannie Nicholas.

over the Caledonia section when the
sad news came that Mr.. V. D. Molloy
had been suddenly summoned to pass
through the waters of the Jordan. He
was born and reared in Caledonia, and
was lifelong friend of the writer. It
is indeed sad to see our friends of the

again to return. We extend our heart
felt sympathy to the sorrowing rela-
tives and friends.

CALEDONLA

The year 1921 finds the Caledonis
Consolidated High School progressing
nicely under the able supervision Of
Professor J. T. Vaughn. Our school
would be larger if the pupils from a
distance could secure boarding places
here. A school, in order to be success
ful and enjoy a steady and healthy
growth, must have a good, live, wide
awake board Of trustees-men that
will taken a personal interest in the
school. They should visit the school
at least once each month, and lend the
teachers a helping hand by looking
after the school and all of its interests.
There should also be q good boarding
house in connection with the school.
Few people seem to realize the great
opportunities that are offered to the
boys and girls of the Caledonia Con-
solidated School in preparing them to
enter readily into responsible positions
in the business world. This they can
do Immediately after graduation. 1t
is the judgment Of all cultured men and
women that a good high school educa-
ton is wonderful help to any boy or
girl, opening up to them avenues of
higher learning and lives Of great use
fulness. The demand for trained and
cultured men and women is always
much greater than the supply. Well
meaning, loving, indulgent yet igno-
rant parents have placed upon many
child a serious handicap that all
through life has proved serious inn
pediment in the race for success in
business or professional life. In no
place in the life Of developing child
does indulgence and ignorance do more
harm than when the education is neg
lected. The boys and girls should all
take advantage of the golden opportu-
mites offered by the Consolidated
School of Caledonia and good schools
in other places, by securing finished
high school education.
There have been so many weddings
in our neighborhood during the past
three weeks that it looks as if a cy-
clone had struck this section. The
automobiles all have flat tires, and the
horses are all run down trying to take
in the many marriages. There hasn't
been so much excitement throughout
the country since Sherman's famous
march to the sea, and we are informed
that there is another wedding wave
approaching. Mr.. Editor, if you will
come up this way, we will crank up
the old tin wagon and light out for
three or four weddings a day. Bet
