At the meeting of the trustees!
and citizens of Durham Junction !
Academy, Friday, there was a
Kiwai deal of excitement oyer the
district lines. The report was
circulated that the board of edu-;
catwu had already laid off the
dieittuA of Durham Junction,
roahioc the following boundary:
N<Mtti line, Moon’s station; east
liuo, top of ridge of the original
district line; on the south the
original laud line between John
Mitchell’s and Joe Howard’s and
oo the West the east brow of
Ijookout Mt. The people are sat
iatied with the north and west
line, but are very much dissatis
fied with the east and south hue.
There are Mr. K. M. Kory aud Mr,
Bhrove on the east off us who are
regular patrons of our school
who are cut off aud who warn to
be included iu our schord district,
and on the south the line out off
J. T. Howard, trustee, also Joe
H oward. who sends to the ncad*
etny. The north line is oulv 1 h
milts from the school house, the
east 2 miles, the south 1$ miles
and the west 2 miles. If this bo
Iran it would cut us into the
amnlieft district according to the
capacity of the school house, iu
to' county. The people are very
indignant over the matter, but do
net by the matter as a partial
act ou the part of the Honorable
Board of Education, as not one of
them hm anything against this
mfeool- The feeliug is agaiust
otb* r parties, who are not on
grond terms with this community,
nud who are supposed to have in
fluenced the tioard to cut it into as
aurali a district as possible. This
community is very much die
cout aged. Tnev have gone down
iu their pookets aud built a school

in the couuty, with two gradn

bad one of the best schools we
have ever had for the past seven
months. Petitions are being cir

from that magnificent spring.
From there, with faoes turned to

little party moved on. Just as
the god of day sank beyond the
craggy cliffs of magnetic old
Lookout we lauded safely iu the

WALKERTOUNTY MESSENGER.—OCTOBER 25,1900
Trion Gleanings.
The fourth quart irly conference
for this chart's was held at this
place last Sunday. The Presid
ing Elder, Rev. Mr. Allen being
sick left for bis home after trans
acting the business of the con
ference and did not remain over
Sunday and preach as is usual at
these meetings. Rev, Mr. Wealb
ers preached at eleven, after
which he baptized one applicant
and received her with two otters
into the fellowship of the church.
The sacrament of the Lord's
sapper was then administered,
The preacher called for those who
united with the church during
the recent revival to first present
themselves at the chancel and
partake of the elements. It was
gratifying to see so many come
forwurd under that proposition. I
have seen the sacrument adminis
tered manv times but do not re
memoer ever having seen as many
in proportion to the number pres
ent unit 3 in celabrating the sacra
ment.
I have not attended church as
regularly for some years as I did
when I was younger, and it
seemed that the preacher selected
a text to fit me for thus neglecting
to attend. “Not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves together
as the manner of some is,” &o, It
is said “a guiltv conscience needs
no accuser,” so I will not com
plain at the preacher for stirring
me up.
The other day a boy came along
the street playing an old fashion
jews harp. It sounded so much
like my boyhood days, that I call
ed to the boy to come across the
stret-t and let me hear him play.
The lad came and played the old
style musical instrument ]n short
time. Well, well, how it did carry
me back to the times when the
couct-y boys were proud to own
a jewsharp.

The “Salt River” Valley.
There’s a wonderful clime not far away
Where many people hhake and shiver.
’Tie a clime where people don't seem so gay;
There many unfortunate candidates stay—
’Tin the valley along “Salt River.”
’Tis a clime where no one is anxious to go,
Yet many live there all the time.
So many are going that no one may know
Just when they’ll be called on to go
To live in that wonderful clime.
Many who go there come back when they try’
But unfortunately some go and stay.
Home go and make it their home till they die,
And many go there to stay for awhile
Just after election day.
If you'll vi.dit that vale just now you’ll find
Some of Walker’s boys thore, I know.
The thought of going didn’t enter their minds
But I saw them iunt at election time
And they were preparing to go.
We’ve heard from them once since they went
out there,
And they seem to be full of content.
Although they went not on purpose, they de
clare
That the climate is good and the weather is
fair,
And they’ve been happy since they went.
Ve do not know jubt v hen they’ll come home
But expect them inside of two years.
Perhaps we’ll prepare a feast when they come
And try to brighten their path through their
gloom,
And shed for them a few tears.
