liow the Debris Was Cleared.
Mr. Editor:—
At the request of Prof. Z. M.
Leverette, principal of Victory
school, several of the patrons met
last Friday we»k with wagons axes
and ,
hoes for the purpose of clear¬
ing awav the rubbish around the
new school building
Owing to the short notice given,
many of the patrons were not able
to attend, but the small number of
patrons reinforced by the teachers
and pupils and the work progress¬
ed nicely.
Prof. Leverette organized tlm
pupilsii.to file c- mpat its, namely:
A, B, C. D, and E.
Company “A” was subdivided
into two squares, each of which
followed n wagon for the purpo* 1
.
of transfering the surplus whi
flints, which heretofore ve been
avowed enemies of the boys i « pel
toes,” to a more desirable place
Company ”B” sub-divided into
axmen who fell the undesirable
trees and uprooted the stumps, and
brushmeu who transported the
debris of felled trees to one side
of grounds into heaps for the con
sumption of the fire, closely
brought up the rear of “A 1 » storm
ed the forte of the tree and stump
brigade and swept eveything before
its outward charge.
C’ whose ranks were now as
"etherial and terrestrial troops 11
engaged in a terriffic conflicts with
the desirable trees.
The “otherial troops” mounting
up upon the wings of ladders with
their saw swords, held the top
most flank if the desirable tree
brigade until it was left in a rath
er trimed condition, while the
terrestial boys following closely
upon the heels of the former,
wholly exterminated the falling
mass from the topmost plank of
the tree brigade.
Company “D” with their hoes,
keeping step to the music set by
the foregoing companies in one
solid phalanx, routed the grass,
straw and small pebble forces Ill)
til they all, in oue mass, took ref¬
uge in the ditches at some distance
from the Knowledge strong-hold.
Company “E," last but not
least, neither in number nor cour¬
age for fighting, composed of the
more modest troops, even the gent
ler sex, kept up the real reai, with
an irrisistable cannonade ot brush
brooms ou the more courageous
lorces of trash which had pene
trated their way thro’ the first
four lines of battle to the effect
that they too began to sleep the
sleep that knows no ending in the
ditches.
During all the fight, Gen. Lev¬
erette would be seen darting here
and there encouraging the forces
who were of the disposition to
fight, commanding those who were
not even to the extent of calling
some few individual soldiers who,
balf tired and half unwilling to
fight had played traitor and took
refuge in a deep gully neat by,
back to duty and assisting them
(well by what meaus I’ll ] ct VO u
imagine) in finding out that they
were neither traitors nor cowards
but good soldiers until the battle
was fought a complete victory
won and until the children decid
ed Prof. Leverett was good if not
better Geueral than teacher.
AH went home happily rejoicing
over the more descent appearance
of the surroundings ;

Why We Need An Education.
Education is to the country as
food is to the body.
A country without an education
like a field that is not cultivated.
p ut a country with an education
is like a field that is cultivated,
Every boy and girl having the
opportunity to go to school should
make good use of their time for
they are not going to be boys and
girls always, they will bo men and
women before long and if tbev
don’t study while they are in
school, they will be sorry that
they idle away their time and did
not make good use of it. When a
minute is gone you can never get
it back.
If we expect to get an education
we must study to get it.
If we sit down and wait for it to
come to us I am afraid that we
will never have an education. The
thing to do is to go after it and
never come back until wo get it.
Of course we have to study hard
to get an education but we sow
when we are youug aud reap the
harvest when we get older.

The R. F. D. Man.
In summer’s heat and dust he
drives the tedious, tortuous way,
In winter’s cold and snow *nd rain
he travels every day ;
He knows hb’s e’en more welcome
if the day should chance to be
Rough and dark, he always comes
on time—the faithful R F. D.
The mother waits with anxious
heart out at the country home
For letters from the children who
have left her side to roam
Out in the big and busy world;
she Bhades her eyes to see,
Looking down the way so wistful
lor the coming R. F. D.
The sturdy farmer calculates and
plans his coming crop—
And wonders if the price of corn
will take a sudden drop—
A ' va " 5 M * d “‘ ,y pap '' r J«* "
eager as can be—
He sets his watch each morning by
the passing R. F D
The blushing girl looks shy > down

So familiar; she remembers m her

Th «t her lover, true a:-.! loyal wrote

the faithful R. F, D.
Ah, what tidings he delivers that

Ana what mess, gee ot sorrow oft

But hie coming is awaited a 1 ;<lon
