The best composition work for the month follows: My Experience as a Cat The old cook of the Smith family had just gone in at the back door, and by mistake she left the door open. So [ crept in and lay down behind the stove. The old cook went out for a bucket of water. I began walking around to see what I could find to eat. The cook had left a pan of sweet miik on the side table. I climbed up and was helping myself. Before I had time t ofinsh the old cook had come in. Down went the bucket of water. The next thing I knew I was lying in the back yard flat of my back, with a piece of wood at my side. This did not convince me. As soon as I was able I slipped in again. This time the cook was way around on the front porch. I went into the dining room. Upon the table was a pound of but ter. I got up on the table and began eating. I hadn’t eaten but about half of it before Mr. Smith came in and of all the chairs and stove-wood that have ever been thrown he threw them at me. I was first under the table, un der the safe and then under the stove. I don’t remember getting to the door, but when I came to my senses, I was lying in the edge of a field with one blind eye, one broken leg and a fractured skull. —Addie Underwood (9th grade) A Narrow Escape 1 am going to tell you how a crowd °1 o’posnim hunters missed me the other night. I was sitting up in a per simmon tree just a-helping myself, when I heard a crowd of hunters laughing and talking and a gang of dog barking. Oh! how quickly I fin ished my meal. I was so scared I al ni°st fell from the tree. The hunters drew nearer and nearer. Now, it was ; do something quek or lie down and d-i-e, I jumped into an oak and shut my eyes to keep them from shining like stars. (My eyes worry me any how. Wish I was as bright in mind 1 am in the eyes). As I told you. 1 jumped into an oak tree, and .honey, 1 surely saved myself. Dogs can ■smell, but I was too near the blue sk.v for their “smellers” to do them ai>.v good that night. —Mae Barbour, 9th grade) My Last Chance in one sense of the word, I have U,J one chance. I ought to take ad 'antage of it. I have one chance to be a man; one chance to be a good citi zen. If I am to be a good man, I must i keep out of bad company; I must go to church; I must have an honorable job8 throughout the week; and last, but not least, I must be true to myself if I the truth would te.ach. —Vester Turnage (8th* grade). My Favorite Scene My favorite scene is the “summer” sky at sunrise, when the sun peeps over the horizon and sends through the trees its rays to fall on some green field. The east is covered with a blanket of red and gold. A scene of this kind affects me. I think of God, and words can never express how grateful I am that the kind Creator j has allowed me the great privilege of seeing. —Alfred Byrd (9th grade)... My Favorite Scene My favorite scene is after sunset, when the full moon like a great ball of fire rises over the eastern horizon. So great is the appearance of this mass of light that anyone might think the whole eastern world had suddenly become wrapped in a blan ket of flame. As the moon becomes brighter the stars lose some of their original lus tre. Long shadows suddenly become visible— all earth seems to share in j the calm, weird, silvery moonlight. —Ray Casey, 9th grade). j The Happiest Person in the World The happiest person I know is Rev. S. M. Lamb, of Wake Forest. He has good health, many friends and enough money to accommodate his everyday needs. One of his greatest joys is to serve his fellow-man. He is content with his lot. He does not long for any thing except the love of God. For all the above reasons, he is a happy man. —Alfred Byrd (9th grade). Riches in a Poor Man’s House Modern inventions have made it possible for a poor man to enjoy life on an equal basis with the rich man. Light plants, ranges, water works, can be found in the homes of many people who are by no means rich. To day the man who is commonly called peor often exhibits with pride a li brary containing books of education as well as recreation. The house of the poor man has riches other than mere conveniences. In his home there exists a feeling of brotherly love not always found in the mansions of the rich. Besides this, when the poor man becomes the pos sessor of anything unusual, he has a feeling of thankfulness along with his happiness, while the rich man’s joy comes only from the fact that an addition has been made to his usual bounty. —Ray Casey (9lh grade). Riches in a Poor Man’s Home The poor are always more thank ful and appreciative than those who live in luxury. Take, for instance, two homes: one, a prosperous banker, the other, a poor laborer. Let me por tray their home-comings in the eve ning. The rich man comes home with a frown. He goes upstairs, awaits the bell which .perhaps will announce a dinner to be given to the friends of his wife. When it rings, he, having made his preparations, goes down grumbling. On entering the dining hall, he takes his usual seat, and for one hundred and twenty minutes lis Tobacco Fertilizers Mr. R. I. Satterfield, of Roxboro, N. 0., says: That the tobacco which he grew over Southland Fertilizers brought the highest price that ha been paid for any tobacco on the Rox b; ro Market this season. Mr. F. E. Marion, of Pinnacle, X C., says: That he received a Firsi \dvance of $20.93 per hundred this season for his entire crop of tobacco grown over Southland Fertilizers. Mr. S. H. Marion, of Pinnacle, X. C., says: That Southland is the be . fertilizer for tobacco that he has used in 40 years! Use Southland, it pays! For further information address: The Southland Guano Co., Greensboro, N. C. Woman’s Letter Will Help Smithfield She writes: “I hated cooking be ■ase all I ate turned sour and formed gas. I drank hot water and olive oil by the gallon. Nothing helped until [ used Adlerika.” Most medicines act only on lower bowel but Adlerika acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel and removes all gas and poisons. Excel lent for obstinate constipation. Helps any case gas on the stomach in TEN minutes. Johnston & Steohenson, Druggist, Smithfield, N. C. gloriously veneered faces talk about social affairs or some dress which is expected from Paris in a few weeks The banker is miserable—bored. Why cannot his home coming be more pleasant? He wishes he were a mil lion miles away. At the close of the hours, he goes out, scarcely having touched the dainty food. There is the other picture. The poor man walks briskly up the wood ed path. He knows he will soon see a sweet-faced little woman running to meet him— and he knows also that she will be guiding a small sun-burned pair of legs down the rocky path. My! he can see those brown eyes of that j boy sparkle as he gives to him the , one red stick of candy. He hastens. They come! She greets him, the son clings to his neck laugh ing and cooing. They go up the door way, on into the well-kept kitchen. Appetizing odors of a wholesome meal come to him. In his heart there is a prayer of gratitude to God for wife, baby and home. —Mabel Barbour (9th grade) -o The students enjoyed the letter Rev. D. H. Tuttle wrote to The Her ald. So much did they appreciate the compliments he paid to the theme work that they are writing letters of thanks to him at Elm City. -o HONOR ROLL Socond grade (Miss Harriette Til son, teacher): Thel Strickland, How ard Gower, Wade Coltrain, Alonzo West.

Tenth grade: Ray Casey, Imogene Murray, Braxton Smith, Sue Tom linson. General Science: Vara Beasley, Ruby Dodd, Imogene Murray, Lillie Radford. -o Recently themes based on an ad vertisement, “Teach your dollars to have more cents,’’ were written. The compositions of Mae Barbour, Ray Casey and Braxton Smith were sent to The Carolina Power and Light Company, the representative orga nization of the advertisement. Fol lowing is a letter received: “Your letter of December 29th ac companying three compositions pre tens to the gayly dressed women with pared by students of the Language Department of the Wilson’s Mills High School, over which department you preside, is acknowledged, and we can assure you we have read all. of these through with a great deal of interest. We feel that the compo sitions prepared by the young people are of more interest, and really that they constitute even better advertis ing than our advertisement which was made the motto of these well-written themes. We would like to ask your permis sion to make use of these composi tions even to the extent of publishing them in some form, if we find it pos sible to make use of them in this way. Until we can hear from you on this score, we will retain the papers as sent by you, and if you desire the originals returned to you, please ad vise and we will make copies of them for our own use. “Very truly yours, “JOHN V.
