desirable residence section;'
?The rains the past week have
been a great help to the farmers aa
-well as to the general public.

cal lecture on temperance to the

?Would it not be well for parents
who have children attending school in
the town to take Interest enough in
the ,schools and their children to visit
the schools at least one time during
the term? ,
Work on the new residence of Mr.
P. B. McKlnnie on Middle street is
being lnlshed. It is a large house
??twill be completed in a hand
some manner. v
-^Pull together, brethern.We are
all here for the same purpose. Theu
live and let live. The best way to
build up a town Is for each and every
man to pull together and not strive
to rend and tear down.
?We are requested to state that
the regular quarterly ?onference at
Shiloh Methodist church will be held
on Saturday and Sunday, and that
Rev. J. H. Hall will be present and
preach. The public is invited to be

?Nothing adds more to the attrac
tiveness to a town, and makes a better'
impression upon visiting strangers,
than newly painted residences, good
sidewalks, clean streets and alleys,
and withal, a good number of shade
trees and ornamental shrubbery and
flowers in your yards. It Is indica
tive of refinement, culture, good taste
and thrift.
?Although six states in the union
are without compulsory school attend
ance laws, and four others have laws
that apply only partially, definite
progress during the past decade is re
ported in a bulletin Just issued by
the United States Bureau of Educa
tion. Since 1905 eight states pre
viously without compulsory laws
have adopted them, and it is thought
to be a matter of only a few years
when compulsory school attendance
will be in eiTect in every state "an ter
ritory of the United States.
