and a Circus

With the coming of the Haag
Bros. Circus, we can safely pre-
dict that Spring is here and
Summer not far behind. The
School Board of Dickinson
County has again, we suppose,
given permission for the en-
campment of all transient shows
on the school grounds which
happen this way from time to
time.
We have always contended
that the amount of money re-
ceived from these shows by To-
cal civic organizations and base
ball teams is not enough to
'pay for the whistle", and that
this is an improper use of pub
lie property. Time and time
again, in spite Of the promise

Composite Photography

There probably were earlier ex-
periments of composite and trick
photography, but the most notable
examples appeared after the assas-
sination of President Lincoln. There
was a great demand for his pictures,
but there was none showing him in
the heroic postures which the Amer
lean people wanted. Earlier states
men had been painted in such poses.
So photographers took pictures OF
the posed, draped figures of such
men as John c. Calhoun and Henry
Clay and superimposed the head of
Lincoln. Currier & Ives had issued
a Autograph showing Lincoln's
deathbed scene with Vice President
Andrew Johnson present. After
ward, when Johnson became unpop-
ular and was impeached, the head
of General Halleck was substituted
for JohnSon'S.

Two Baptizings Sunday

Sunday morning at the vaca-
ton Bible school commencement
exercises, water will be warmed
in the baptistry at the church and
the ordinance of baptism will be
observed. Because two or three of

tised in the river, Sunday after
noon at two o'clock the ordinance
will again be observed at Cranes
Nest River on the Fremont road.

by the show management that
the school grounds will be left
clean, it has never happened.
The practices of these shows
breed disrespect for public prop
erty. If shows can come in and
litter the school grounds and
use parts of the school house
for toilets the assumption fol-
lows that people so minded liv-
ing in town can follow the
same practice.
If the School Board insists
that shows should set up on the
local school grounds, we deem
it entierly proper that the school
receive as its share from gate
receipts sufficient funds to clean
the grounds and repair damage
to the school building.

F L r E /!

Recently very costly fire oc-
Cured in the neighboring town
of Grundy and the fire company
from Richlands arrived in time
to stop it's destruction. Clintwood
like Grundy, has plenty of water
with which to extinguish flames
and has been fortunate in the past
few years to have no fires of any
consequence. But how will we put
cut the flames if a fire does &C..
cur? What has happened to the
fire hose in Clintwood? How many
citizens could find out meager
equipment in case of fire? How
many citizens of Clintwood would
know how to connect the length
of hose if they could find fire?
plug? What has happened to the
volunteer fire company that was
being organized?
We mention these facts and ask
these questions before fire oc-
ours in hopes that some public
interest may be aroused. It is best
to get action before a fire occurs
rather than talk about what could
have been done as the townfolks
gather around smoldering ashes
to rake out burned valuables and
possibly human bones.
Lets organize volunteer COM
pany and do all possible to help
combat the flames, if and when
they break loose in some business
establishment or citizens home.
