with a kick. You see, we travel in a
Ford and the Ford and US are suffer-
ing from just little travel over a
terribly bad little piece of road. There
is good deal of the word little in
the above sentence but our nerves are
jagged and we feel tired when we
might feel refreshed from our ride
and that is a little matter that
kindleth a lot of resentment. Dear
Mr.. Commissioners, where art thou :?
We have called on you but you were
not to home. This is much travelled
piece of road and here's hoping, eves
hoping, that it may be fixed up soon.
Thank you; we are sure this "kick''
will cause things to pick up right
away.
Speaking of schools, this commu-
nifty has three little one-teacher
schools, that average each about fif-
teen pupils all thru the term. In all
we have about forty-fve or fifty pu-
pills. The term has been trimmed to
five months now and can we not catch
a vision of the time when it will be
still shorter terms? We understand
that this condition prevails over the
county. Please, may we know why?
We are informed that Calvary
school will begin Monday morning,
-
as teacher.
Coin school will also open on the
same date with Mr.. Matthe teacher.
Mr.. Matthe is just recovering from a
rather serious illness. Somebody SAID
he had the danube fever" but he is
a teacher cut out for the job and here
is hoping for a successful term at
Coin school.

Can't see why you still talk about
chickens. Oxford, as we told you that
the most of our chickens amt since
the invasion of flu, pienics and the
preachers. However, we are glad to
