C; Dear Sir: . - If you can And space in your paper for the follwinp articles, I shall thank you mo9t kindly to insprt it in this week's issue. . The teachers and pupils of the Marshall School prepared a Thanksgiving1 program and gave it on Wednesday afternoon in the Auditorium of the new building. There were songs and recita tions, and seven, - little Puritan maidens'" stepped out of history and told their little friends what they bad to be thankful for. . A unique feature of the pro gram was; the chi'dren had been asked to write in five minutes the things which they were most thankful for, and some of these from each grade wero read by Prof, Williams.. : - Some of the little boys were thankful for their dog. Some' of the little girls for their doll. One little boy was thankful that he had a home and did not have to go to the poor-house.. One little girl that her leg was not broken. One said he was thankful that he had a seat to sit on at school that had a back to it. In the advanc ed grades they, were thankful for the new school building, for .parr ents and . health,' and that our country is at pescer-'-- t j Excellent work is being done at our school this year,' both by teachers and pupils and the par ents have much cause to be thank f ul that such competent christian teachers nave : charge ol our school and our children. The school is opened each morning with prayer, reaamg and songs. ' A reading table has been supplied and is filled with good magazines, and the teacheru are nutting forth every effort to develop our, children mentally, morally and spiritually, ; which alone can make perfect charact ers. - But it is surely discouraging both to teacher and pupil to pre pare so excellent a program, and have only, four or five parents present. We know that the parents are interested in the progress of their children; for the fact that they are -making the sacrifices that they are making to keep them in school, shows that they are inter ested, butif they will be present at these little public entertain ments that are piven from time to time, and see the advancement that their, children are making they will be more interested, will incite their children to better ef fort, and will show to the teach ers tnat tney luny appreciate the efforts that they are mak ing. . ' So when your children tell you next time that. there ,is going to be an entertainment, do not leave t to the other fellow to go, but ay down your work and ,go. It will only be for and hour or two, and you will be glad that yon did go. ...... 'Yours, very truly, Eloise B. Bobs.

Uncle Zeke Still Under the Weather We are glad to be able 'to re port Uncle Zeke a little better this week. He is able to walk about the house and yard, grum ble at the Democratic party, in quire about the European war and chew two or three package? of scrap every day, He says he don't care se much about being kept at home if he could only keep track of public sentiment in Marshall concerning the resigns tion of Bryan and the possibility of more good roads in . Madison County. . ' A News-Record reporter -called on Uncle Zeke Monday night and was handed the following for publication: A Horrible Death One nigbt recently while seve ral drummers were sitting in the Montezuma hotel, .Captain John Knigbji entered looking as sad to a yawning gravp. He hadn't much to say. He is . usually as chipper as a sparrow; but all that had vanished, and he seem ed to be chewing his cigar a lit tle harder than usual, ana switch ing it from right to left, and from left to right mere frequent ly than usual. Finally Mr. Wil liams made bold to inquire: What's . the matter, Knight! You seem to be in trouble. "Just heard of the" horrible death of Toland Vicar."' "Friend of yours?" asked Wil liams. "None; just a lineman in Chi cago." ' "Owe you anything?" queried Williams. - "Nope." "Have a vote in the primar ies?" was the thoughtful inquiry of W.-E. King, "Nope.". - "Witness in some of the boot legging cases, maybe," suggested Guy V. Roberts. "No sir." - "Well then what are you fo cut up'about?" asked Williams. "Oh he died such a horrible death. It was simply awful. -I never heard of anything like it!" "How was that?" asked half a dozen interested individuals in chorus. ".Well, he was at work on the roof of the Masonic temple, and --he got too close to the edge -j and slipped off." - - ' Thinking of the Hheer drop o( twenty -one stories, an . apparent shudder swept over t$e 'assembl age and as the interest became intense the man of sorrow conti nued, his eyes .filling with tears and his voice choked with grief: "Oh, but the long fall wasn't the worst of it. The poo-poor fellow had on his rub rubber boo boots." . '. !. . "Yes." said King. ' "And bir-bu-bounced up and dudown for three days 'and nights, and they had to shoot him to keep him from starving to death." -: . ... .. - ; ... (Curtain.) . ; In Old Madison County. Away back in the good old days of the 1840-50' all Iraen and women appeared to be honest and truthful and all lived on one common level, the .wealthy, and the poor , all the same, alt had plmty to eat and home spun cloths to put on. such as woolen linsey and flax pants and shirts, arid all men sure rested under his own vine and fig tree, 'all was lovely and good neighbors. The good old days were cheer ed by day, by the native birds and the whistle of the bob white and the cooing of the native dove the nights were made lonely, by the hooting of the large gray owls and the shrill cry of the night hawks, and the barking of the neighboring curs, in those days the law was order and order was laws, the cattle, sheep and hogs, roamed at will on ti e hills, and one could' hear the jingle and chimes of the distant bells in most every direction. The deer and turkey also bad his pleasure they were - shy, but roamed at' will.' , There was no grafting or grabing others goods in those good old days. Time passes away so , does man, In 1858, our people began to talk about war with the north ern powers,- bur cotton were tax ed and our people thought they were beirig oppressed -too much, so in i860 and 1861 the war broke. out between " the, states. " Then for five long years ur people suffered want in every way But to day, November the 25th day 1915, we are prosperous again and thankful, and we have.great cause to be thankful, not only one day in the year, but we ought to be thankful three hun dred and sixty-five days.
