It is likely that a County Summer iy. v'-hO' I Will be held at Ynnceyvillo. ft. Teachers can attend there or at <>ri?ntal.

Curtin would have writ ten such a letter as the one ,in the| last' issue of vThe Courier and asked i the committee to - put their names' on the dotted lines. But even if Brother; Currin did write it, it is no surprise to Richard, as I understand that the Rev. Joe B. gets quite a! slice each month out o^ D. H. .Qt-umpton's wages. This being the; case, he can afford talk in favor of Mr. Crumpton. He accvses Rich ard of indiscretion in letting the people of our good county know what i we are doing in Allensville. For my own partt I certainly am not ashamed for the County and State to know how I stand on any public' matter. It will indeed be a sad dayj when a small group, of men. can * sup press and keep from the public just) how they are handling the public's [ funds and making use of the pco- * pie's money without even consulting them as to how ft should be expen ded.. This committee contends in their letter tat those who opposed Crump- j ton did not let them know anything about it until they had already em-! ployed^ ?him. If they had, things might have been different. Show me one man outside of ycur own ring who know anything: about when J you ititended to appoint him nnd 1 ' am confidents can Show you twenty! who did ttot know anything about ! it. You gave us no possible chance to hav* any say so as to whom you employed. Why? Because Mr. Crumpton had a brother on this [ Committee and this brother had t great influence aver their chairman,' and in reslity I think these two com posed the committee. This being the case, there can be no surprise as to the result; seifths "that" this eommitte* thinks that those eighteen who signed the petition against Mr. Crumpton were either so ignorant on such big fools that they were misled into signing it when in reality they, loved this man Crumpton. This is| an insult^to the intelligence of those j who signed this petition; for they! are just as intelligent as those who! favored Crumpton and, I contend, a| great deal more so. It was not; Richard who- said those__ugly_ words] when the boiler blew, up in one of. the school buildings; but I did say j if Crumpton had ordered .the boy the | third time to turn the water cn re-' (Continued on Page 4) ST A Y I NT. IN" SCHOOL The fathers and mothers of our j County are to be congratulated on ! keeping their children in school in- j stead of stopping theiji at the close of the six months term. All over the County the parents are wakrng to the fact that a child can not make a grade in months, but it takes ! eight months. Two years of * ix ! months each takes too much time j out of the school life. - It takes ele ven grades to complete a course at a standard high school. The student begins at six years of age and fin ishes the high school at seventeen years of age if he makes a grade _ a year. But' if he goes only-' six months and has to put ip two years to a grade it will take him a long . time to complete his course. But many get discouraged and drop out : when they have ' to stop" school and get behind their classes. However, we find quite a difference now from ttiat of former years. The high ^chools are making a fine average this year ? the best by a geod deal that I hove ever known. The De partment Commencement this year is a great success. It is so much better than to have such long com-; meneemont.^. Sincerely, J. A. BEAM. IAEA'S CHAI'KL AND r WARREN'S GROVE Sunday School at Lea's Chapel at] 40 o'clock. W. R. Wilkarson Supt.

It illustrates the courage and sacrifices of those men and women who, in 1076, left their Farms in Illinois and Indiana to set tle the far West, which today -4n-' eludes the states of Wyoming and Montana.

Mother's Day. ? ?last cne short. .day in all the We dedicate to Mother, But in her heart 'she thinks of yoo. Cine day, same as another, "She watched over you when a baby, ' She taught you the right from tbe wrong, J^he was always on duty to serve you Tho the day to her, often was lony. So if she's in the land of the livinj? If from her you have wandered, 'away, j Let her know you are thinking of | her, * ' Wear a flower />f red, today. And if she has passed on to that other shore, If she's waiting for you over there. Don't gTeive, but be glad she is happy, t A white flower in her memory wear.

We are men of experience in the warehouse tobacco business and ? ' your every interest will be looked after. This house is well lighted and eonevniently arranged for it* patrons and you can make no mis take by patronizing us for .the high dollar. We will have a competent force to do the work, and they will be the actual employees. We wish to say that owing to the small percent the warehouse busi ness is done on that we will abso lutely have no commission men and furthermore, we must treat all of our friends alike. It is not right and just to give your nt*xt door nnighbor a commission of from 25 to 60 per cent of_ his charges* and you, placing your tobacco on the same floor by his, pay full char-' gcs. As we hav6 said, the "business is based on a small per cent and will not justify dividing charges to all and to allow one or two in a sec tion is' an injustice to the rest, so, 'thcrefs re. to do u' clean business we have adopted this policy in o.Wler to treat our fellow man alike. ?
