BUSBHY FORK HIGH
SCHOOL ELECTION
i One week from Saturday on April
11. Ae people of Bushy Fork High
School District will vote on increas
ing their special tax from 10 cents
to 30 cents on the $100.00 worth of
1 property.
i Bushy Fork High School Is the see
' ond oldest rural High School in the
, county and among the first in the
1 state. It has a fine standing with
j the State Hoard of Education .who
would ha to to "see it dropped from
the list of High Schools.
This school has an interesting his
i tory and the details of the struggles
I and trials of these noble and public
! spirited- citizens in establishing and
maintaining it would make an enter
i dsting book. For several years the
money to run the High School depart
ment was raised by private donation.
But the people wanted better ad
vantages for their children and de
cided that the best and fairest way
was for all to pay a tax far this
purpose, so an electicn was called, j
The election was tarried, but by some
mistake in the writing it called for
only 10 cents on the one hundred
dollars worth of property when it
was intended to have been 30 cents,
but it was not discovered until it Vfas
boo late to, remedy it. This amount
was found to be too small and the
result is that the school has been
falling in debt each year. These
citixens have decided that they can
not afford this nor are they willing
for the county to beert their burdens,
hence their decision to call this elec
tion.
Surely this election for the in
crease cannot fall in such a splen
did section of our county, such fine
lands, Mich excellent people, and
such b Urge ?nd- bright crowd of
young people.
Just thing of it! Mr. B. F. Hester,
chairman of^our county commissioners,
4Ir. W. R. *(ilkerson, chairman, of
the Board ?i ^riwitiop. imd Mr. W,
A? Warren, our representative in the
legislature two years ago', .all live in
this district. And in addition to these
men of note, a host of most excel
lent, intelligent and progressive citi
zens reside there. All of them love
their children and feel thfet they are
as worthy of as good school advan
tages as the children of Bethel Hill,
Olive Hill, Allensville, Helena or
Hurdle Mills.
Surely" there can be no failure to
carry this election with this strong
force, who are proud of their child
ren and their neighbor's children,
proud of their school and its fine
history, and proud of the opportun
ity to lift thdir school to the equal
of the other schools in the county,
and too proud to let their school drop
down to ti six months' term and there
by become a low grade school.
Oh, ye people! rouse yourselves
ana cl'gwn the 11th day of Apiil with
a grand and' glorious success.

Though ftoxboro la Set Upon A Hill
Spring Cleaning la Neceasary
Though Roxboro is set upon a hlH,
the rains of winter and the March
winds have-not made unnecessary a
SPRING CLEANING for those en
gaged in public business , 'or the bus
iness of making homes. What better
time than the" week before Easter?
It is almost needless to urge house
keepers to clean up for such a sea
son. Every fresh and growing -thing
in yard or garden impels the home
maker to put a new and neat appear
ance to the premises.
We. want the WHOLE town GLEAN
back doors of stores, markets, sho|>s
and nit vacant lota as well as the
back yards of homes. For the sake
of looks, for the cause of sanitation,
on account of civic pride, and to create
a better business atmosphere, the
Woman's Club is asking- that each
individual merchant and business or
professional man help the Town
Health Officers, the Town Board and
the women to make this clean up
week a genuine effective one.

ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN
Mr. W. G. Miller, who has been

he has leased the St. James, one of
the largest and mpst popular hotels
in that .splendid city. Mrs. Miter

In its day Hotel Jones has had
some most excellent managers but
none who has given better service
or made it more popular than Mr.
Miller, and not only the town but
the travelling public will regret to
hear of this change. In nil things
pertaining to the welfare of Rox

will miss him. He has the best
