+. j. w. WRITES OF BEAUTIFUL
GIRLS AND OTHER THINGS

Last Saturday evening while | was
sitting in the Office of the superln-
tendent of education, my friend, Mr..
R. H. Greneker, the l.ustling news
man of The Herald and News, came
in, and whispered in my ear, saying,
''There are two wonderful things 60
ing on in NewSerry that | wish you
to tell the public for me. First, that
Col. Aull is one Of the most wonder
full men I ever saw. He is carrying
on the work of two men to perfec-
ton, and either one is hard to fill
editing semi-weekly newspaper,
writing 4 or 5 columns of editoria!
matter for almost every issue, be-
sides caring for the whole school IN
terests of the county, going through
the country 4 days out OF the week.
Now, Mr.. Greneker, when you un-
derstand that Col. Aull was born anu
reared in the country at the very
time when good material was pientl-
full and was tempered down to endur-
ance and ability, you will say that 1t
is nothing so wonderful after all. But
let US be fair with the facts. Admit
ting that this double work that Col.
Aull is carrying on is wonderful
task. if it were not for the untlring
and able assistance of Mrs. Aull the
work would be too great for him to
handle.
The next wonderful thing my
friend wants me to mention are those
beautiful little school teacher girls
who were standing in the Office wait
ing to get. their pay warrants ap-
proved. He said that they were
pretty from the crowns of their heads
to the soles of their feet. Poor, un-
fortunate man! Sitting in perfect 81
lence with your very heart a-quiver'
and too modest to measure your love
to them. So don't you wonder and
worry about these little beauties
they also came from the country. And
the next time you meet them you may
say, sGood evening, ladies, and some
thir 2 else" They will be pretty apt
to ask you what else. They say,
"Sn, lie on me, dear Angeline, and
make my heart feel light; and chain
the b;- dog and / am coming counting
Sunday night" Then watch close
and if you see the least part OF their
front teeth you may know that you
have taken the first degree in court
ing
The supper at Union school given
by the Ladies Improvement associa-
ton vas perfect success. The moon
Ishone bright and the temperature
was normal. And the fish, oysters,
and coffee could not have been bet
tkr prepared. There was a good
crowd present and they sold all they
had, amounting to little more than
$50, and nice Little profit was real
lied.
The progress that IS sweeping
through the world today is due to a
large extent to the noble work that is
being done ,sy .our good women. Let's
take them out of politics and stand
behind them in their efforts to better
the uplifting of humanity, socially,
morally, Intellectually, and financial
Ily, and We will soon have a God low
ing and serving people.
That educational issue of The Her
aid and News last week was quite
history of our school work of the
county. 1 am reading with interest the
wonderful progress that has been
made for the past SO years, and l
am glad to see that our great leaders
of education have awakened to the
need of equal advantages. In our
rural schools a great many OF our
country people have drifted off to the
towns and cities, leaving their farms
and other interests on account OF the
very limited school facilities in the
country. Shouldn't the country have
the same advantages as the towns and
cities? If not, why not?
The ladies Of Colony church are
making preparations for Christmas
exercises at the church on Christmas
day. The program will appear later.
We hope that all the members OF the
church will take the proper interest
in making the occasion profitable to
all who may attend. Colony has nev-
er made failure in any of her pub
lie exercises she has held. And let
us not make this an exception. We
have no right to expect anything bet
