INTERESTING REFLECTIONS

Vlded until you hardiy knew "AefI
10 begin? l am almost in this shape
right now. But number OF my
friends say it is time for me to come
again and l am coming, 1t makes nc
difference whether it seems Of any
Importance to every one who reads
after me or not. There are GOOD
many things l may tell you that you
already know.
don't intend to give anything IN
the shape of a creditable report O
that great day on the 10th at New
berry, which the good ladies and the
hustling men of the city gave N hon--
or of the World war boys.
The anniversary of the signing OF
an arnlistice which brought stsss
World war to a close Will soon be
recognized as one Of the greatest
events that America has ever expert
enced. The street parade was one
of the grandest scenes that Newber-
ry has ever produced.
The whole street from College
street to the opera house was lined
with beautiful school children Of the
city and county, forming line on
each side of the street, casting their
flowers in front of the old vets cad
World war boys with shouts of ca
thusiasm. This, together with the
fine music rendered by the three@aa4
Bile bands of Newberry was quite
thrilling to the spectator. And in
deed that speech il the opera house
by Col. j. NJ. Johnson, together with
the songs and other exercises seemed
to keep the minds of the packed
house in. perfect whirl.
After this the service men marched
up to the Mower garage to bid fare
well to turkey. as a great many OF
thera had done overseas.
The county fair made most eN-
ceilent display and the poultry SfoN
was. on. The football game atg thsi
college grounds, the picture show n
the opera house, all this kept the peo-
pie on move to keep in line Ease
what was gonig on.
Now, before l close, let me can
graduate you Newberrians upon EaSsS
of the grandest celebrations that yoa
have ever had. You may live to have
others just as good, but you Will neF7 :
er have any better.
The next thought in mind Is 3 wasssfh asf
about the school which opened oefo-
her 9th, with Mrs. Bessie Pugh as
principal and Miss Mary Price assls-
tant.
We were proud to have Col. Aull.
with US on this occsaion. While the
Colonel gave a short sketch OF the
opening, he failed to say aaytalas
about that enthusiastic speech ne
made which was one of the seess,
speeches I ever heard him make.
The first part of his speech was ol--
rected to the trustees-patrons ana
other friends of the school. He salc
that Union had just as much right to
m up to date school building as any
other community, and he told thea
irs. what it took TO s1ccecd. kir5 :
Of all there must De q sufficient
amount Of enthusiasm, backed up
with a cooperative spirit and a sutsl-
c;ent. amount of steam to turn the
wheel.
Afser he had outlined his plans on
building the new house he turned ;:i5
attention to the teacher ana pupils
OF the school, an: # YOU had been
there you would have said he Ger
tainly was one of the best educators
that has come along
He had the principal teacher TO
write upon the blackboard some no
BILE notices or watch words. Z
1st. Order is heavens first law.
End. Cleanliness to next to godil-
ness.
Srd. The children of today will be
the architects of the destiny of our
country tomorrow.
Now, dear teachers, just allow ne to
add two more words to write under
the above, which you will please
teach asd inst.l in the hearts Of your
pupils: Love and obedience.
The school spirit is growiag-not
like a mushroom but growing gradu-
ally in and around Union.
The work on the new building ls2n
progress and it seems ROW that the
enthusiasm is rising, and while
there has not been steam enough put
