THAT'S OUR IDEA
CAMELS the Quality
in making
Cigarette.
Prat0
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It's the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fre:h and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack
age and keep it air-tight.
And note thisl There's nothing flashy about the
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on
merit alone.
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga
retty aftertaste.
Camels are made for men who think for them
selves,

SCHOOL NOTES.
One of the very gratifying re
sults of the dental clinic we have
had in our schools, is that one
whole grade is forming the habit
of washing their teeth regularly.
This is the advanced section of the
first grade. Just here we would
like to say that the Weldon Drug
Co. has kindly presented (he little
folks with tooth brushes, through
the instrumentality of Miss Saucer;
who is doing such a great work in.
the county.
The Baker and Daniels literary
societies have reorganized for work
during the present session, with
the following results:
BAKER h izabeih Allen. Presi
dent; Arthur Cochrane, Vice-Pres
ident.
DAN1EI.S-Anna Olivia Drake,
President; Ovid Pierce, Vice-Presi
idem.
Secretaries to be chosen later.
This year there are (wo teachers
for each society. Misses Benson
and Dickens are the leaders for the
Baker. Misses Doxey and Gaitley
are the leaders for the Daniels.
We are expecting some splendid
work from these two societies.
The Wilson and Pershing socie
ties of the high school are working
slightly different this year. They
have two teachers each for advisers
but the pupils themselves are re
sponsible for the programs.
Our Athletic Association will be
reorganized this week. The boys
are regularly practicing different
kinds of contests. We hope 10
better our previous record.
Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Covington
and Clyde Payne, of Ashland, Va.
spent the week end with Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Payne.
And yet there are many men
who will admit that they don't
know much more about women
than before the prevailing styles
came in.
Mrs. Frank Hawks and children
who have been visiting relatives in
in town for the past several Weeks
have returned to their home at
Newport News.

PARENTS AND THE SCHOOLS.
Practically all the schools of the
country are now open for the win
ter session. To too many mothers
and fathers this means a let-up of
responsibility rather than call to co
operation.
How many of them will visit the
schools to see if they are better
equipped than last year, in better
sanitary condition and so onY
How many of those who resolved
last year to keep in closer touch
with the children and the teachers
will keep that resolution this year?
now many business men who
complain that the schools do not fit
youth for intelligent grasp of bust
ness life will take pains to keep in
such contact with them as will
prove helpful in correcting their
business shortcomings!'
whose are me schools, anyways
Who gains or loses by the invest
ment in them, and so should make
sure that it pays?
Only -through intelligent co oper
ation between the school and th
home, between teachers and par
ents and tax payers, can the school
perform its highest service.
Wisconsin has I new law prohib
iting the placing or a root upon
brass rail wnue drinking a non
intoxicating beverage. In ihm
