Wi?h just a ilttlo more cleaning up
on our streets and alone: the sidewalks,
our town would now present
a very pretty appearance. The grass
and weed.-? along the walks next to
the streets should he removed, either
closely clipped or entirely removed.
This would be a small matter and
would add much to our otherwise
clean town.
Mr. Shafio Laws, son of Editor R.
Don Laws o fthe "Yellow Jacket" at
Moravian Falls, came over Tuesday,
bringing his wife to the Summer
School. Mr. Laws has charge of the
mechanical part of the publication,
and is an artist in his line. He was a
pleasant caller at our shop while
here.
Mr. Marion Reese, of Mabel, who
recently purchased the Xila Church
property near tne 1 raining ^cnoo:,
wag in town the first of the week.
The property is rented just now, but
the owner, a little later on, may make
some very great improvements thereon.
Well yes, the summer term of the
A. T. S. opened Tuesday. Wc have
tried hard to get the number in attendance,
but have failed. The registration
the first day which was
only a start, reached 156, and it is a
safe conjecture that at least 500 will
be enrolled for the first term, which
is larger by far than any succeeding
session.
Mr. McDonald, of South Dakota,
arrived Tuesday, and will spend the
summer here with his sister, Mrs. H.
L. Wilson. Mr. McDonald has completed
his third year in civil engineering,
and will work with Mr. Roj
Johnson, our road onrnneer. whik
here. He is very much pleased, sc
far a? he has seen it, with this section
of the country.
