Now 1% 6ur opportunity for a bet

which we 'school children and Sunday
school children have .been wanting
so long. ~ _ ?" ' . >
How many times hate I heard this
said: "I do wish our schoothouse
was celled, and. painted, of white
washed." Now we have the oppor
tunity of having It so. ll"we will only
be up and doing.
Our schoolroom la beautifully sit
uated amung, a flne grovo qf 9a Irs
ami pines, and with just a little more
work done to the yard. I feej sore we
would -have one among the' prettiest 1
school grounds . 'anywhere In the |
country. How many places there Is
l-nould name where there is not ?over"'
six shade trees, or some not pven that:
many abound the, schoolroom, while
we are blessed, with a fli\e grove, and
Bo not appreciate tt enough ttHreer
the bushes cu( down and the yar<L
brushed. There la going to be a. meet-,
ing -at Singleton Saturday iright, Sep- ,
tember 4, for -the benefit 'of raising'
funds to ceil the schoolroom, and algo
to whitewash it. . Let uk all thrn out
and see how much we can raise
helping this worthy cause. I feel
sure everyone' that contributes will
be greatly rewarded In time to come.
Let us all get together and let- us
work together and hare dui\ ?chool
room nnU cchooi grounds 00 wo will
feel proud of it at any and all tlmep.

that Mr. . Ayerst said they would fur

thank Mri'Ayers very much for this,
but let "us work and ?et endtfgh t<fdd
Lhe work without having tto\take any

ivlll go that .much longer. I feel
