living on the earth at that time.

buried in the cemetery adjoining
Antioch church in Caldwell county.

GREAT SCHOOL AT
CLAREMONT, N. C.
It is of great interest to know
about the growth of the school at
Claremont. Prof. A. P. Whisenhunt,
of Newton, went there in 1922 to
take charge, and they had about 25
average in attendance in the High
school. In 1923 they had 33 V2,
and now they have about an average
of 50, having an enrollment of 60.
They have a new $15,000 building.
Reports come that they have one of
the very best schools in this section.
The superintendent and his corps of
teachers invite the friends of edu
cation to visit them, and look over
their work.
