By Old Caesar.
Last week for two or three days
■we tried to shake off a kind' of ro
mantic feeling that was making deep
inroads in our daily work. But no
good, the feeling captivated us and
carried us a willing prisoner to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Davis
on Thursday, the 23rd inst. As usual,
we paid our respects to the ladies
first, then out we went to the sheep
pen. After greeting the boys, we
commenced beating about the bush
in a casual way, leading up to the
main thought in mind. Yes, the
mutton had been butchered. Settling
ourself in a cozy nook, we talked,
laughed and dreamed until the noon
hour. What a feast Mrs. Davis
had prepared for the boys and wan
dering Old Caesar, who was careful
ly looked after. Are good friends
worth holding all the time? As A. :
E. Alexander said, when he poured
the pepper sauce in the beans, “I i
should smile.” ,
We are under deep obligations to ,
Mr. and Mrs. Davis’ sons and daugh-,
ter for this pleasant day spent at
their delightful home.
Owing to recent rains, the farmers
in this community are behind about
a week in their work, hence the
necessity of postponing our class in
mathematics and penmanship until
next Monday. July 4th. which will
run twenty days and perhaps longer.
It has alread\ been suggested that
an annual class be established at
this place and everything arranged
at this session for next summer s
class. The defects in these two
studies are becoming more noticea
ble among patrons of one- and two
teacher schools—every day crowded
and not able to do the work, and too
often these little schools are im
posed on with ineffective teachers
with no experience. It is already
spoken of by a few in this communi
ty if it would be advisable to
consolidate certain schools here. Yes,
by all that will prove effective to the
future progress of your schools and
an equal showing of your children in
the business world consolidate! The
people are waiting for some one to
• start the move for consolidation and
it would be surprising to see how
quickly the work would be accom
plished. What is the trouble with
several gentlemen living in* Griggs,
Kaneyhead, Porto Rico and Pine
View communities arousing and
waking up and standing for your
rights and your rightful inheritance
for equal rights along life’s rugged
road that will make smoother many
rough places of and for your chil
dren?
