EIGHT
YEARS AFTER.
Eight years ago a mad world cel
ebrated its temporary return to reas
on in a mad manner.
November 11, 1918, will be hard
to forget for anyone who spent it
either in a front trench grown all
of a sudden oppressively quiet or on
Main Street in an American town j
grown all of sudden oppressively
noisy.
But the lessons November 11, j
1918 should have taught seem easy !
enough to forget. Looked at impas
sionately, the world seems but little
nearer- a lasting peace now than it
was then. Universal brotherhood is
yet only a dream.
When the Armistice was signed to
end the greatest war the world had
ever known, all nations looked to the
United States with what amounted
almost to reverence. Today this at
titude is changed, Europe has gone
so far as to nickname Uncle Sam
as "Shylock" of nations. Our at
titude toward European nations has j
also undergone a change.
Throughout the world, Armistice j
Day will be observed at public dem-!
onstrations where tributes will be |
paid to those who gave their lives in j
the World War. These demonstrations
and these tributes are fitting. But
they are only a slight return for
the sacrifice these men made.
A far more fitting tribute would
be that advocated by a wise leader
in another war —our dedication to
the task remaining before us.
On this November 11, we should
renew our obligation to the cause
for which they died—the cause of
universal and lasting peace.

Parent-Teachers Association met at
the school house last Thursday af
ternoon. A short program was given
by the children. Miss Harris' room
won a prize of one dollar for hav
ing the most mothers present. May
Wilson Holland, the attractive young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. C.
Holland, told a Halloween story
which was enjoyed by all present.
Prof. J. B. Jones, at tlie request of
the president, Mrs. T. C. Lovelace,
made a short talk mentioning spe
cifically some of the things a pa
rent-teachers association can do for
! the school. Mr. Jones made many
I helpful suggestions which no doubt
; will bear fruit during the coming;
year.
A resume of last year's work and
a report by the treasurer showed
that much had been accomplished
during the past year and there is
still a balance of nearly SIOO in the
treasury.
A story telling contest will be con
ducted in the spring and prizes will
be given by the Parent-Teachers As
sociation.
Five dollars was donated at this
meeting to buy phonograph records
suitable for the smaller children. A
number of the parents pledged them
selves to give records for the higher
grades.
The question of beautifying the
school grounds was discussed. While
it is not desirable to plant shrubs
and flowers over the ground needed
by the children for play, a grouping
of shrubbery and flowers near the
schoolhouse would add much to its
appearance.
The question of having a fair for
the school in which each grade
would exhibit the work done in
the school room was also brought
before the meeting.
Officers for the year were elected
as follows: Mrs. J. P. Hornbuckle,
president; Mrs. W. S. Moore, vice

and treasurer.

good and inmates said they were
well treated. The superintendent

well kept and in a sanitary condition.
The prisoners well fed
and cared for. We recommend that

new toilets be put in the jail, and un
derstand that these have been v or
dered. We also recommend that some
leaking water pipes be repaired We
strongly recommend that the Com
missioners erect a retaining wall
about the jail, and that some fencing
that is already on yard be erected.
Also that some guttering on the
building be repaired.
We found that the chain gang is
being well treated as could be ex
pected.
We wish to highly commend the
county commissioners for their pro
gressive spirit in constructing our
new courthouse, which we find to be
well designed, well built and modern
in every respect, and of which every
citizen in the county should be proud.
We recommend that the commission
ers complete the work on the court
house grounds, as in our opinion the
grounds in the rear of the courthouse
can be made into a beautiful park.
We wish to thank His Honor
Judge James L. Webb, and the soli
citor, Mr. Pless, for the courtesy
shown us. We also wish to thank the
Sheriff and his deputies for their
courtesy and efficient discharge of
their duties.
