Monday with a good enrollment.
Chas. Hawkins is superintendent
and 0. S. Dillard of Willetts is prin

stand by those in charge.
LITTLE MARGARET KYNfflMUEm
The entire community o f Cullo
whee was made sad by the death
of bright little Margaret Reynolds.
Scores of school girls, into whose
arms she rushed again and again
in gleeful sport will shed tears at
the news. A large circle of friends
and loved ones mourn the early
going away of this dear little one.
Margaret was born November
the third, nineteen hundred arid
eleven, and died August the
hirtieth, nineteen hundred and fif
teen, being thus three years and
nearly ten months old. " We buried
her body by the side of that of her
little brother, who had gone on be
fore, in the cemetery at West Ashe
ville. It was distinctly noticeable that
Margaret was possessed of striking
individuality. Even when little
more than an infant she displayed
signs of an unusual originality.
She was independent, aggressive.
She gave promise of being a strong
and useful woman.
Those who were closely acquaint
ed with her observed often that she
had a keen sense of humor that
sparkled in her blue eyes and
spread a smile on the faces of all
around. She enjoyed a good joke
and was a precious little sport-maker-herself,
greatly to the de
light of her friends and associates.
To those who knew her best and
loved her most, her most marked
characteristic was her high sense
of khonor and her peculiar regard
for the truth. In her last sickness
when there happened tor occur some
slight intimation that she was
not willing to do just the right
thing about taking her medicine,
her little heart was hurt, because
she felt that she was doubted.
She was patient and cheerful,
wide awake and conscious to the
very last, exhibiting a sweetness of
spirit thatwpuld put to shame many
hat are older.
As we watched the departure of
this precious little life for other
and higher sphere we could not but
say with the poet; .
"Oh, what do vou think the Angels
say?"
Said the children up in hsivea.
'There's a dear little girl coming
home to-day,
''She's about ready to fly away
From the earth we used to live
in.
Let us go and wait by the gate of
Pearl,
Which is opened wide for th e dear
little girl",
Said the children up in heaven.
"Fly with her quickly, ye Angels
dear,"
Said the children up in heaven.
"See! now she's coming; Oh, look!
look there
At the radiant light on her golden
hair,
Where the golden clouds are riv1
en."
But hush hush hush! all the
swift wings furl,
For Jesus himself at the gate of
Pearl,
Is taking her hand, dear little girl,
And is leading her into
heaven.

A WONDERFUL ANTISEPTIC
Germs and infection aggravate
ailments and retard healing. Stop
that infection at once. Kill the
germs and get rid of the poisons,
for this purpose a single application
of Sloan's Liniment not only kills
the pain but destroys the germs.
This neutralizes infection and gives
nature assistance by overcoming
congestion and gives a chance for
the free and normal flow of the
blood. Sloan's Liniment is an emer

SONS OF VETERENS!
The success of the; unveiling of
our monument to our dead depends
on OU and your SISTERS. YOU
of the COUNTRY. Yju, young men
and women on thi farm, in the
store and the schoolroom.
It will be on Satday the 18th.
You have plenty ti&e in which to
work up interest in ypur neighbor
hood. Tell every jme who comes
to the store; announce it to the
children at school. So iar ours is
the only monument ereeeted in the
South this year of international
war. Our fathers and moth
ers made the history you are now
teaching in yo ur schools or reading
between toilsome hours on the
farm the men and ' omen com
memorated by this : granite and
marble and bronze. You are
"chips off the old blocks." You
will see to it that these dea d shall
have part, however small, of the
glory which is theirs-an evergreen
place on your memories, and a
lasting reminder to your prosperity
to untold generations of the sacri
fice of a race on the alter of consti
tutional liberty.
The duty is a solemn one. The
privilege is a rare-one.
Never agaia uttil the impercip
table Writition of the elements
of the
tooth of time, or the conscionless
work of vandal hands shall destroy
(heaven forbid!) this pile of granite
and broaze will any generation be
blessed with so lofty a privilege.
You can ask no greater honor
than to participate in these martial
ceremonies; so when you are old
and there is nothing left of the
Confederate soldier but a heroic
and glorious memory, you may say
to your grandson as you gaze on
this memorial: "I assisted in the
rearing of this monument. I was
present at the unveiling and beheld
the handful of aged men then re
maining who had gone from Jack
son county to help to fight the
bloodiest battle of American his
tory. I saw them weep as1! the
children drew the veil, and the
band played Dixie, and the fpeople
shouted and waved flags."
Would that every man. woman
and child in the county could ap
preciate thoroughly the men and
women ofjthe sixty's.
This is one prime object of' our
system of education to m ike j us
properly appraise our fathers and
their common labors, toilsfand
dangers.
No commonwealth is thoroughly
enlightened without this intelli
g nee.
All patriotic monuments are ed
ucators in the noblest sense. They
speak to us in language at once the,
most tender and sublime of the car
dinal virtues of the race of honor
truthand love; of justice, liberty
and law; of the greatest of all vir
tues personal sacrifice.
Let me appeal to the youth and
mannood of JacKson to come to
Sylva on the 18th of next month
andhelp in every way we can to
make this, what it will surely be,
the biggest, the best, the brightest,
the happiest day in the history
pur county and glorious mountain
land; and let us not leave one dol
lar due on this sacred memorial.
With deepest feelings of love
and reverence for our devoted fath
er and mother living and dead. '
I am your friend,
James H. Cathey;
Chairman Monument Association
