The weather continues very un
favorable for school work.
Measles, mumps, whooping
cough, etc. are having a telling ef
fect upon the attendance these
days. It is a problem. Is it wise
to expose the health of the child
ren and send him to school? Is
it wise to keep him out of school
and lose the daily opportunity of
an education? Think about this,
both parents and children, and do
what you prayerfully think is best.
I knew, well enough, that the
fine boys and girls were going tD
send in letters soon. You can
count on boys and girls. That is
one reason why I love them too.
Let your letters reach me by
Monday afternoon. It is with
pleasure that we hear from three
of our friends this week.
Your friend, T. J. H.
Union Grove School.
Dear Mr. Horton : As I see no
other little boys or girls are writ
ing I thought I would write to you.
My brother and I have been out
of school this w r eek with measles.
I sure do hate to miss a day. I
am in Miss Belk’s room now, and
in the fifth grade.
I will be glad when spring
comes and the l oads get good. I
think a visit from you would do
us all good.
Santa Claus was real good to
me Christmas, so I am going to
try to be a good little girl and
learn my lessons well.
Your little friend,
Cleo Blankenship.
11 years old.
Liberty Hill School.
We arfe wishing for some pretty
weather so you can visit our
school. Our attendance lias been
exceedingly good during the bad
weather.
The first grade are enjoying
their construction work, and we
are taking examinations this week.
Our teacher, Miss Annie Peebles,
spent the week end with home
folks in Hampton.
Misses Mollie and Vestra Rhodes

letter frnm nnr or>lir\rU

We are trying to do well in out
work and love our teacher. We
observed Arbor Day last month,
took off one Friday afternoon to'
plant a few trees and some other
work to improve our school
ground.
1 know of no other news right
now, but in saying another word
for our school will siy that I read
some verses today which reminds
me of something one of our new
pupils said* the other day
that she liked to come to school
here because the children were
so kind and nice to her. The
verse I will give below because 1
hope every pupil in Henry county
will see them if they have not al
ready: For what ought the lives
of those of us who are happy be
to us if we can’t share it with
others.
Let me today do something that will take
A little sadness from the world’s vast
store.
And may I he so favored as to make
Of joy's to scanty sum a little more.
Let me tonight look back across the span
Twixt dawn atid dark, and to my
conscience say
Because of some good act to beast or
man —
The world is better that I lived today.

The weather is so uncertain
these days tiiat our Sunday school
j secretary, while making out her
report Sunday, stated weather
rainy, but by the time she was
asked to read it, she was obliged
to say weather fair.
Loy and Nina Strahn and Nellie
Ilooten called on Prof, and Mrs.
Kiethly and Miss Nellie Sutton
Sunday afternoon.
Sunday school was greatly en
livened Sunday afternoon by the
presence of Prof, and Mrs. W. W.
Hooten and their splendid help in
singing.
Mr. Joe Bail Bledsoe is making
his home at present with his broth
er, Mr. J. W. Bledsoe.

pleasantly entertained in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Alonza Cawthon
Saturday night.
Misses Fannie Jane and Viola
Tolleson and Miss Nettie E’Dalgo
were guests-of Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Wilkerson Saturday night.
The beautifully warm crocheted
cap and scarf and the lovely em
broidered handkercief gifts from
my Sunday school class of boys
and girls are very much admired
by my friends and greatly appre
ciated by myself this wintry weath
er. Such evidences of
and love warms our hearts and
cheers our spirit.
F. B. Strahn went to Atlanta
Saturday and bought a wood saw.
He expects to do a good business
sawing wood for the public if this
weather continues.
Mr. VV. A. Hooten spent the
w-eek-end with his broth, Mr. S. P.
Hooten.
The Red Cross chapter at Snap
ping Shoals meet faithfully once a
week, notwithstanding the ex
treme weather, and are doing
good work for the boys in the
army. This is commendable. Ev
ery community should be doing
their bit along this line.
George, Laurie and Elinor
Strahn were swinging high in the
porch swing at home Sunday aft
ernoon when the staple that held
the chain broke, throwing them
everyone out into the yard, a dis
tance of about ten feet. Not a
bone was broken, not many tears
shed, and when we had washed
off all the mud and they had got
ten over the shock, they seemed
to be about as good as ever. And
we know we have something to
be thankful for.

beautiful luster o’er all the day.
Rev. C. C. Heard of Jenkins

Grace Joyrrer and Adell Joyner
were out sporting Saturday night
in a road cart. One wheel be
came demolished, which frighten
ed the animal hitched to the cart.
Cart, animal, boys, ail left seper

party.
Lots of cotton in field. Things
will change—it was once white,

Messrs. Jack Turner, Dee Wil
son and Dock Shaw went to Ea
tonton last week on business.
The day is upon us when peo
ple are judged by some oeople
for what they have of this world’s
goods, and not what they are.
The whole truth is that we very
much exaggerate *he power of
riches —but my dear people, at the
end we will all be judged by God
alone. The man or woman who
will not stoop to do a wrong, dis
honest act, to make a dollar, who
lives a pure, clean life, trying to
do the will of their Lord and
and Master, is the one who shares
the blessings and will be reward
ed in the end. Our pastor said in
the pxTlpit Sunday that the boys
were likely to foflow the crowd.
May we as fathers and mothers
lead our boys ami* girls in the
right direction lead them to
church and Sunday School. God
forbid that we lead them to the
gambler’s place or a place to gam
hfo Q nlooo t.a rlnnhn fr,
u t•-/ uuiiLa. , a piatc IU
drink, a place to swear, for we
know that these things are of the
devil and the end thereof is eter
nal punishment. May each one
of us as parents, and those not
parents, ask ourselves this ques
tion, am I leading any one in the
wrong way —if I am, who w ill be
responsible? SLEEPY EYES.
About all the conception some
folks have of a gentleman, judg
ing from the w r ay they act, is a
swell suit of clothes and gold
banded cigar.—Uncle Jeremiah.

Economize Wisely
—A Maxwell Car Will Help
Waste is often committed when the in
tention is to economize.
A Maxwell car, famous for its economy,,
will cost you only a few dollars a month to
operate and maintain.
Which is the real economy: \
" (1) To use the car and ?
save time, strength, and «
mental vigor?
\ (2) To do without the
\ car, lose time in your busi
\ ness, lose the health gained
from motoring, and worry
yourself into illness? \
Use of a Maxwell car will give you self
confidence. \
Your neighbors and associates will get
mental inspiration from you.
As wave circles widen when a pebble hits
the water, so will your good example bene
fit your entire community.
Save—yes; but do it sensibly, and let the
Maxwell help. \[
