"J a Rehearsals have been going on all j #eek and Mrs. Simmons declares the. ^talent found In Loulsburg mast un-1 usual for amateurs. She is quite ec static about the cast. Come and look it over for yourself. When you have seen Mr. J. E. Ma lone as Col Victor Pea body Dodge, a gay old dodger from the South, his iovsdy daughter Dolly, Mrs. 8. B. Berkeley and her College chum Miss Molly Makeup, Miss Margaret Turner, for their first visit to New York and its- fashionable and highly shocking cabarets you will understand why Van Bluff, Dr. H. H. Johnson, pro prietor of the "Black Cat Cabaret,' should fall so desperately in love with Molly, and Jiinmle Paxton, Mr. John King should be earnestly rival with Lord Btxrrowmore, Mr. E. F. Griffin, in the suit for the fair hand of Dolly Dodge. These three worthy suitors, though young sheiks, htee nothing on the gay old Colonel- Dodge, as he dodges Miss Trailing Arutus, Miss {Catherine Pleasants and the slushy letters he has written her.

You must Judge for yourself. Never could one wish for better service than is given by the waiters under Mr. Van Bluff's able direction, in the "Black Cat Cabaret:" Messrs Arthur Fleming, James Wheless, James Cooper and Edward Perry, Jr. Should Mr. Ziegfleld risk an eye on .our chorus Loulsburg, would no doubt be minus of eight of its love, liest girls: Misses Annie Taylor, Kit ty Boddle, Hazel Allen, Anna Gray WatSon. Mary Malone Best, Virginia Beck, Euzelia Hill skid Margaret Wilder, all unusual talent.

GOLD SAND ENROLLS 97 Gold Sand High School upon_ its second week of the school year last Monday morning with a total nrollment ot ninety-seven in ithe fifgh school department. It mmjia fairly certain that the number #111 exceed one hundred before the pfes ent week has passed. There are many I of us who see in this surprisingly large ; enrollment an evident proof of the fact that the boy and girls as well 'as the parents of the boys and girls, in Gold Aline and Sandy Creek town ships are deeply Interested in tinlr education and hare only been wailing, for the chance to have a gopd school in their midst which every poy and girl would have the privilege to at tend. I The six elementary schools in our district have had an opening week. , which for most of the schools has been very pleasing. The total elementary enrollment amounts to about four hundred and thirty distributed as fol lows: Centervllle, Wood and Gold Sand about ninety each; MoultOn Hayes, C5; Sandy Creek, 45; and Mountain Grove 40. While this ett^ rollment la indeed gratifying for some 'of our schools, there are still many children not enrolled. An earnest ef fort la being made by the teachers In all our schools tq arrange their teach ing hours to the greatest advantage !of the parents in their work on the farm during the harvest season. We earnestly request our patrons there fore to cooperate with our teach In getting every child in school early in order that he may make his grade this year. One of the best ways to reduce school expenses is to send the children to school regularly so that fewer pupils may have to be taught In the same grade two or three yean. Our high school community is happy to welcome into Its midst Miss J easts Mae Leper, of Spring Hope, who wjtt be in charge of the department of pi ano thts year.
