Several farm h m es were
threatened by fires last week,
west of town, and it was only by
hard work that they were res
cued. The rain that fell in the
latter part of the week helped
considerably to extinguish them
and it came in the nick of time
to prevent further damage. A
fire that equaled the velocity of
the 1918 fire in that immediate
vicinity swept over the country
north of Spur 233 on Wednesday.
1t was carried along by a strong
wind which at times almost
reached the dimensions of a tor
nado. 1t swept over the farm
yard of the Chas. Carlson farm
and it was only by difficult fire
fighting that the place was saved.

Big Doings In '6s

The Augusta, Ark, Advocate last
week contained column Of matter
taken from its June 20, 1868, flle.
Among the items in the column, we
found the following:
Sometime since, Mr.. Gray, then local
editor of the Sentinel, published a
report received on the Fairy Queen
by him from some persons who said
they had been eye witnesses of the
scene, to the effect, that, on the 9th,
inst, at Pocahontas, there were
twenty-one fights, two men shot and
one cut in the back'-We know moth
ing of the facts, but as Mr. Gray has
left and has no further connection
with us, we can do nothing bat ex.
press our regrets that any cause for
offence to the good people of Pocahen-
tas-the Editor Of the Standard es-
pecially-should have been given by
the Sentinel. and correct his statement
by that given in the Standard, to-wit :
only six or eight persons we're intox-
icated. There were only two fights,
and only a small cut with a pocket
knife. and the "sound" of fire arms
was not "seen" or heard"

Teachers Notice

To the Teachers of Randolph County :
Dear Fellow Teachers
In this issue of the Star Herald
have letter to the school directors of
the county asking them to assist me in
making a more accurate annual re-
port to the state superintendent of
public instruction.
II is not possible for directors to
make their reports to me as they should
unless you post the school register ac-
cording to law. Therefore, have
asked them to require you to post your
register before giving you your last
voucher. You will please note that
quote a paragraph from letter which
] received from Mr.. Hill, state super
intendent of public instruction. and
that he is demanding that ! make an
accurate annual report.
Now teachers, you have always re-
sponded to every appeal that I have
made to you, and know you will not
fail to do so at this time. Let me
assure you that the school directors and
/ shall appreciate your cooperation in
our endeavor to comply with Mr.. Hills
