this time know about as much of
Home Coming Week, Aug. 28 to Sept.
8, as ye scribe. We have told you long [
and loud for the past four weeks; SO
there is little left for us to say. We do
desire, however, at this time to em-
| phasize the hearty community spirit
that is apparent everywhere. Enthu-
| siastically our people unite to make
the occasion one to be long remember
| ed, no pickering, no dissension; unit
edly and harmoniously we each move
to the task assigned in providing en-
tertainment of every character call
| culated to please our relatives and
| friends that are so soon coming back
| to see us, so soon to be our guests.
Most commendable such spirit
should characterize our people at this
particular time, and may we not ven-
ture the hope that 1t will perpetuate
| itself, both in Louisa and in Law

to history. 1t will make us strong

people, If we will do this Let US as
sert the supremacy of moral and spir-

movement. which has for its ultimate
I'm, better Louisa, better Law
