Nov. 12, 1913 " Editor News-Record, Marshall, North Carolina. Dear Sir: . I write yon a very short item today as some of the readers of The News-Record and probably a few of my many pupils in Madi son might like to know something relative of my work out here in Swain County. I have an excellentschool, bet ter by far than any 1 nave ever taught, the census of the district is 156, enrollment 143, daily ave rage attendance 122, school is opened each morning with devo tional exercises. . We carry from the first through the eighth grade, the committee pay me $75.00 per month and the assistant teacher $35.00 wo have an eight months term. ; The pupils of my " school are much farther advanced . than those of Madison County, we have boys and . girls from nine different states, some who have lived in Cincinnati Ohio and had the advantages of the high schools at that place, we realize there are many very bright boys and girls all through the moun ts t -neighboring towns. Every February. The property is ad ono respect Mr. Perkins and I mirably situated for a summer were glad to give the vote of es- school being well drained, having teem to him on the day of the a good elevation and boastinc of I Type of tha THE FAMILY ALTAR. 'Old Days" That is Neglected and Forgottel. It is somewhat popular now to recall with a look of pitying a- ! musement the religious austeri- ong to belt our county and state - i with highways from - ono corner to the other. May jMr. Perkins live many years to work still mere on .the highway with the rest of uis and we are sure bhould there come another call to work for the roads that Mr. .

Mr. Perkins is 74 years old and worked two full days and by the vote of the whole gathering was a-warded the pair of Big Buck Overalls that were offered by T, N. James. If any one , deserved this vote it was Mr. Perkins for he went out when he had little cause to cio so. tie never uses the rbad and is beyond the age limit which would call a man to the work. It was purely a desire to help along the. good roads idea and the faithful work done by Mr. Perkins not only . deserved the recognition of the fellow workers that day but also this slight mention in the paper "Mr Perkins not withstanding his age never lost a minute of the two days. But it was the habit creat ei in the past.. For many years he was section boss on the rail road and served faithfully until his section was abolished. Since working.
