CONCERNING CREMATION

Mark Twain, lin one Of his serious
article) once said in effect that ere
nation is the logial sanitary and eco
nomic way Of disposition Of our dead.
Let us anaylze the three points he
made. in the order that they named:
Logical" There is something
very Illogical in the general impress
ion that cremating the bodies of our
loved ones is an irreverant process
Rather, it is a revoting thetgFt in re-
gard to what happens after q body is
delivered to the corruption of the
grave
To that rare combination of poce-
ic and scientific trend Of mind, there
is something beautiful in the thought
that thru the purifying element Of
fire we may "sink back into the great
Life Ocean which is Cod.

THE PARENTS-TEACHER
ASSOCIATION OF THE
PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL

The item we are writing about re-
fers to a particular meeting. This
was a parent and teacher meeting.
We had a Christmas exercise per-
formed by the pupils Of the Progress
i've school. Nearly all of the parents
were present. We also had some
very interesting talks by the parents.
They expressed themselves to what
they thought of the teacher and the
pupils of the Progressive School.
The purposely aim of this meeting
was to get cooperation between
teacher, pupils and the parents which
proved very successful. We believe
that the parents are wanting our
teacher to make the greatest success
that has ever been made in the Pro-
gressive School, Valley District, Bar
bour County or as good as there is in
w. Va. We also believe that the
teacher and pupils are wanting and
are doing the best of their skill and
management to make it. We are
hoping to have another meeting be-
fore the school closes and we wish the
same success or even better than the
other exercise.

SMALL TOWN HUMOR
AND PHILOSOPHY
By BUCK CAMPBELL

The polite man In company
may be hog at home.
-
The husband who comes In
like a lion generally goes out
like lamb.
Folks who hatch their own
grievances into sorrow are the
ones who have the hardest time.
It is hard to tell which is the
most despicable; the tin-horn,
the peanut politician or the kid
der.
Young man, you need have
no fear of the girl who takes
pride IN making her mother
comfortable.
AS the matter now stands,
Germany seems willing to pay
If she can find somebody that
will let her nave the money to
pay with.

Gods Love.

There are questions which nothing
can answer but Gods love, which
nothing can meet but Gods promise,
which nothing can calm but a per

shadow and mystery upon all the Gre

trouble and fear until we see Gods
love in it.-Dewey.
