The Morning After the Night Before.

The business men of the coun-
try who have a reputation for
foretelling the future have an
nounced better times in sight.
The country is gradually recov-
ering from the results of a
spending jag" the like of which
was never seen before on this
side of the Atlantic. High prices
reigned supreme, but the higher
they went, the faster was money
thrown to the winds. Luxuries
were more in demand than ne
cessities and nothing was too
good or too expensive for the
workmen as we'll as the business
men who were gathering In more
cheap dollars per day than they
formerly made in a week. Fol-
lowing the jag came the morn
ing after Everybody had a
bad taste in the mouth. The
dizzy whirl had given place to
sullenness and buying suddenly
ceased. This brought about cuts
in~prices and a determination to
accept losses in order to get back
to normal.
Now the Nation is recovering.
The effects of dissipation are
passing away. The old pep"
is again in evidence and men are
looking ahead with confidence.
The United States is yet the rich
est Nation in the world. The in
dividual citizen is the best fed
and the best dressed of all the
earth's inhabitants. He has
grerter opportunities and less to
discourage him than his brothers
across the sea. He has no rea-
son to be downcast, and every
reason to smile. 1t is now the
Afternoon of the Morning At
ter" and the sun is shining
where there were shadows be-
fore. Farm and Ranch.

Montgomery School Notes.

Again our school has opened in
full glory after the epidemic of
smallpox. Not much damage"
was done. as every one seems to
be back in school with smile of
health on their sweet young
faces. and the subjecs,of 20, My
Arm" can be heard in clear
ringing voices throughout the
dear old halls.
We regret very much the death
of our beloved principal, but God
''The All Powerful, took him
away and no power on this won
derful earth could have kept him
here. Mr.. Hitter was loved by
! all.
School opened with three new
teachers, Mr.. and Mrs. Mark
Price. Jr., and Mr.. Find. A lot
| of good work will be done before
the end of the term as they are
able workers.
Now, friend teams, whom we
owe games, don't feel shaky that
we are not going to pay your
games back. Just as soon as we
get settled (which won't be many
moons). we will pay all those
games up and then more. These
are not the kind of boys and girls
to walk in the woods silently,
listening to the sounds of the
night creatures, only watching
the silvery and enchanting rays
of the moon peeping through the
trees hearing the clear soft call
of these night birds, in this vi
cinity, and the distant bark of
some friendly farm dog then
stopping beside some coy brook
!! and idly dream their life away
No, they are not "dreamers, :"
they are doors. -
