KEEP BUTTS COUNTIES ROAD
CLEAR FOR PEOPLES BENEFIT.
' • ——II
We wish to call our commissioners
attention to anjobstruction across the
road in front of the Calumet Hotel at
Indian Spring. The said obstruction
is an embankment built across the
read for the benefit of hotel patrons
stopping at the calumet. The road
at this place is very dangerous on ac
count of the dummy and the*banking
up of the roed until it is almost im
passible calls for attention. Why
the road should be obstructed for the
benefit of aliens from the County,
who pay no taxes here, to the detrim
ent of those who do is a mystery we
eau’t understand.

are fcnat a fairly good crop will be
made.

In Loving Remembrance
of Our Dear Father Mr.
A. H. Treadwell.
How hard it is to us to see and un
derstand why God came on the 6th
day of August 1907 and took from
us our dear father, he was so dear to
us, but Oh ! to think we had the priv
ilege to be with him and to help
nurse him during his sicknefs, his
sufferings were intense but just as
he lived he bore it bravely , but Oh !
so many times did he say I want to
go home.
Our father was born Oct. 10th 1844
and was married to Miss Nancy J.
Duffey on November 4th 1866. He
was devoted to his wife and children
and it was one of the greatest pleas
ures of his life to make them happy,
Gone ! gone 1 yes father Is gone but
God knew best which would be to his
happiness, life or death.
It may have not been right to
have wanted him to stay, but God
said no and humbly we should bow
and say Thy will be done.
We all think death is something
awful we never look opon it as carry
ing with it anything to bo desired,
but death is not an end it is a blow
which shoots us into Eternity. To the
Christian it is but a swinging door
and as it swings wo shall pass into
rest.
But Oh father how we do miss
vou ! but we would not call you back
Thou has suffered enough, farewell
until He calls us to join thee, Oh!
God fill the acheing void thou hast
nut into our hearts. Thou alone can
give comfort. May God be with his
wife ana children the remaining time
which they must linger here and fi
nally when their days are o’er maj
he take them home where their fath
er stands waiting and watching for
them and may his be the angel hand
to pull us over on the other shore.
Thou art gone our precious father
Never more canst thou return
Thou Shalt sleep a peacefol slumber
Till the resurrection morn.
Clifford Smith.
“Bhoutlng."
Early Australian gold diggers made
many contributions to the slang of
that commonwealth. One of those
was “shouting,” or standing drinks for
everybody within hail, a practice of
which the lucky digger was very fond.
To refuse to drink with a digger who
had “struck It rif-h," or turned up a
big nugget, was a deadly Insult. A
critic quotes from J. F. Hogan’s “His
tory of the Irish In Australia:’’ “Shout
ing was at one time almost universal
To shout In a public bouse means to
Insist on everybody present, friends
and strangers alike, drinking at the
shouter’s expense. It frequently hap
pens that each one ‘shouts’ in succes
sion.”
The Universe.
The heavens themselves, the planets
and this center, observe degree, prior
ity and place, lnsisture, course, propor
tion, season, form, office and custom,
and all In line of order.—Shakespeare.
JACKSON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPEN MONDAY SEPT 2ND.
On Monday, September the second,
the fall term of the Jackson Public
Schools will open.
In some towns and communities
there is an idea prevalent that the
first few days are largely given to or
ganization, and that thers is no spec
ial nesessity for pupils to enter until
the second week, or for several days
after the term begins.
For the benefit ef the teacher, the
pupil, and the school at large wo are
very anxious that every pupil that ia
able te ds so enter schoel en the very
first day.
Tho organization is important, and
cannot be perfected without the pu
pils. A week’s loss, or even two or
three day’s loss is more unfortunate
at the very beginning than at any
other time.
One week is left now in which to
complete the holiday season, After a
long refreshing rest we hope t hat all
students are ready for work, and that
every clil'd of school age within reach
of the schools of this town will find
opportunity to ho enrolled as Btu
dants for the conning year.
As we are dependent very largely
upon promotion cards t determine
the grade of pupils for the coming
year, let us urge every pupil to bring
his card the first of echocl in order
that no trouble may arise in deter
mining the grade lie is to enter.
I snail be glad to meet as raiasy
ties pup'.* as possible before the
opening day of school in order to find
out as nearly as I can for whnt grades
they are prepared. This will save con
siderable time and possibly worry to
new students.
While there will probably bo no
changes at present in the text books
used, it will he well for pupils not to
purchase books until they are abso
lutely certain what they will need.
Teachers will give the prepsr lists on
the first Monday of school work.
All patrons and friends of the
school are cordially invited to be pres
ent at the auditorium on the naorning
that schsol opens. The exercise will
be simple, but we hope interesting,
and especially so to patrons of the
school,
Let uil who will be present at eight
thirty o’clock, at which time the ex
e cises will begin.
I shall be glad in the meantime to
