Representative J Business Men of the Town Unanimously Approve the Old Site. A meeting of the citizens of the town was held Mionday night for the purpose of selecting a site for the new paa?enger station, which has . been much discussed for the past several months. Owing" to so many v ' locations being offered and some strife having arisen the Norfolk & Western Railway Company stated they would take no steps in the matw/r.. 'ter until the town came together. Hence the meeting. I While the crowd was not as large as it might have been, still it was well representative of the business men, and the action writ- - meet with the heartv nnnrovnl of a lariee majority of the cftiaena. The 'meetwig: was colled to order by naming Hon; L. M. Carlton as chairman. The obje ct of the meeting . was explained, and after sortie remarks a resolution was offered, the substance of which was: That the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce bo instructed to notify the Norfolk & Western Rail-, way-Company.,jthat it was the desire of ;hp town, as expressed by the mass meeting, that .the Railway Com? pany build the now station on the j Old site, and give us the best and most convenient building the appropriation makes possible. . iThis resolution was adopted, after a call fcr a rising vote. Upon motion of Mr. A. M. Burn? the resolution* was made unanimous. Thus it is put squarely, up to the Railway- Company, and unless the1': > * -~..v I jf-'in yuite a deal of Staffing .we _ v. ui yTon see 'signs- of -a new We to say in behalf . of: Railway .Company, that they have shown every indication of an inten^' y ... desire to do the square tKillg by th 1 - town, and we. are;standing squarvly behir.d them, believing they will give "us a station that every citizen will feel justly proud of. .. /?: O federal taxes.

Some are attending for the single purpose of adding credits to complete the number of requirements for the much coveted degree. Others go for the recreational as well as the educational advantages offered. Directors of summer schools which are located near our wonderful" parks, lakes, mountains, or ocean shores advertise extensively the advantages offered by their specially favored locality for nature Study, outdoor recreation, art, etc. If the selected work is not too "Strenuous, and it is possible to elect one or two "extras", the rural teacher will find the subjects of Visual Instruction and Play not only interesting but beneficial. Summer schools are offering courses in the technique of Visual Instruction, teaching the rural teachers how to select and use a stercopticon and a "movie". The rural teacher can use a "pies-to-lite" tank or a storage battery to provide light for the lantern when electricity ts not available An electric current is necessary to secure the best results with a."movie". Play and health are closely related Rural teachers should take with them from the stimmer st'hrwi! now o-nmfs that can be played indoors on a rainy day and outdoors, in: the sunshine. Problems of discipline vanish when the toucher is a "gpod sport", "knows the game and plays it fair" and square"/ .

Andrews Morris was born Feb. 24th 1007, and met his tragic death Juni 26th, 1023. On this day he and i crowd of jolly young friends went t< Loch' Lily to spend a few hours o pleasure. How little did they drean that his life would be snatched awa: so suddenly and what was a jollj crowd changed into a sad crowd. No body knows ex a c My how 'Andrew was drowned. It seems the wholj crowd was too excited and grief strick en to know just how he met hi death, but even if that is all a mvs tery and puzzle to us, or.e*thing w know, Andrews is at rest.
