AURELIAN SPRINGS SCHOOL GROUP Bear Swamp School The Sorrow of a Joyful Meeting One warm Spring Alice was wandering through the woods hunting wild flowers, when sud denly she came upon a tiny little rabbit sleeping in his warm bed. She looked at him for a while and decided she would take him home nd tame him She wrap ped him up in her apron and hurried home to fix some place for him to stay. Bun wa very easy to tame and stayed in his little house most of the time. One evening Alice went to feed little Bun and he was not in his accustomed place. She hunted every where possible she thought he might be, but she couldn't find him. At last she gave up in despair and cried her self to sleep. Next morning she awoke and running as fast as she could to see if Bun had returned to his little home, was sadly disappointed to find that he was not there. After breakfast Alice's little brother went to his rabbit gum and when looking in what should he see but Alice's little Bun. He had gotten lost and thinking that this was his bed, had crawled in and gone to sleep Alice's little brother hurried home as fast ks he could to tell her of the discovery. She was so glad to see him that she sq ueezed him to death. Teeny C. Mohorne The Beautiful Doll It was at Christmas time in the crowded city of New York and everybody was very busy buying their Christmas toys. ' A very poor lady, Mrs. An thony, with her little girl, Bessie was hurrying down the street when all at once the little girl saw a beautiful doll in the show window of a large store. It was priced at $30. Bessie wanted it more than anything she had everj seen. "Oh, mama, look at that beautiful doll, I want it so bad," she exclaimed. Her mother answered, "But dear I can never atlord to buy such a costly doll for you." At the same time a very wealthy lady, Mrs. Travis, with her daughter, Dorothy, drove up in a line carriage drawn Dy large Day horses. They descended the steps and entered the store. Mrs. Travis was going to have the doll sent to her home for Dorothy. Bessie was still looking at this beautiful doll and her mother calling her to come on hurried down the street. Bessie said "But mama! that beautitul doll." 1 know but you must come on, I am in a great hurry," ie- plied her mother. Bessie tried to obey and still looking back ai the doll unconciously let her feet slip off the sidewalk and fell into the street under the horses ! et and was seriously injured, l y this time Mrs. Travis and Dorothy came out of the store and Dorothy saw that it was their horses that had hurt ihe little girl, but Mrs. Travis wa in such a hurry that she u.ui i notice it.

KARL JANSEN ENTERTAINS Last Tuesday night Mr. Karl Jansen entertained a lartre audi ence in the School Auditorium in a varied program for about an hour and a half he held his isteners in rapt attention as he related stories of Sweden, his native home, and told of his ex periences in the Army Camps during the recent war. Mr. Jan sen was in the employ of the Y. M. C. A. as Entertainer of soldiers in the camps on Ameri can soil. Altho only a natural ized American, anyone would readily understand that he is intensely patriotic and devoted to the nation of hisadoption. Our people wete well pleased with Mr. Jansen and hope he will come again, this entertainment was given under the auspices of the Boys' Athletic ..Association. The receipts at the door amoun ted to about $55.00. Dorothy feeling so sorry for her begged her mother to let her take the doll to her. Her mother didn't want her to but finaiy consented and the next time she went to see her she gave her the doll. They seemed to be the happiest two girls in all the city. The little girl who had caused so much suffering in the beginning, was also the cause of the happiest Christmas that Bessie had ever known. Clemmie Chichester. AYCOCK OUR LEADER WE THE FOLLOWERS We recognize Governor Ay- cock as our educational leader and we the progressive teachers and pupils of Halifax County are desirous of becoming his worthy followers, guided by the watch word, "education" which was ihe last word that fell from his lips. He i-et the great example of prosperity, so let us ioiiow mm and become leaders. He set the ba!l in motion. Let us keep it roinur by doing every neipiui little bit in our power for tne groat educational uplift of the comn unty in which we live. If wo could conceive the fact that education throws a shining light on the path-way of the igno' ai"it, ' Uitrrcte and unedu cated a liirht ujKtn the pathway thrit leads to wealth, health and hr'piness. Governor Aycock's cned was to provide an educa ting for fverv stniill child in every small school, for every child in every large school, for all children in every state in the universe. To him, the person not having the proper attitude towards the uplift of the human race, was no more than a savage. Give the poor and ignorant the opportunity of becoming the stroi r and intelligent. Let us all join the hand of the "ambi tious" run the race of "progress' and in the end gain, wealth. health and happiness. Cheer fully may we contribute of our means to erect a monument to his memory, but let us with still more zest apply ourselves to the task he set before us, for in educating the masses we best can build a living monument to his memory. Let us strive for education until the good be comes better and the better be comes best. Hortehse Mohorn OVER 1100 SHARES SOLD IN THE 12TH B. & L. SERIES Some indications of the facl that, locally at least, prosperity is the rule rather than the ex ception, in spite of II. C. L., Flu and the long hard winter, may be noted in the flotation by the Roanoke Rapids Building & Loan Association of the largest series ever issued by the Associa tion or by any other Building & Loan Association in in Halifax. The Twelfth Series which was opened on March Gth has been subscribed to date to the amount of nearly eleven hundred shares and indications are that before the end of the month it will prob ably approximate twelve hundred shares. When one realizes that the ma turity value of this series alone will be $120,000.00 some idea of the rate at which the community is saving through the Building & Loan may be gained. With the Twelfth Series the local Associa tion has in force more than three thousand shpres with an income approximating $4,000.00 a month. As all of this money is loaned only on improved real estate, a steady and constant series of building operations will be maintained on funds from this source alone. The Association, its sharehold ers, and the community at large are to be congratulated upon the record breaking sale of shares in the Twelfth Series.

After ex plaining the situation, it was earned that he had made a mis take, and that what he thought was to be a new factory is to be the new school building. This would indicate to some extent the size of the new building.
