That is the birth u u" Dea to 3.: a 11 eveninir of real j r-i iu . --o- sadness. The story deals with a tragedy fif ty years back, when a rejected suitor shoots the woman he pretends to love on the night of her wedding. As the years pass, a boy and girl of the vounger generation of these families fall in love." How the spirit of the slain girl comes "Smilin' Through" to help the young lovers, make up the main theme and one of the thrilling high ighiis of this sensational comedy-drama. The cast has been working faith fully during the (past few weeks and Mr. Jeter P. Ramsey, Regis ter of Deeds for Madison Coun- tyr has been appointed to re ceive applications from the farmers of Madison County for loans for agricultural, livestock and other purposes. WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A LOAN To be eligible for a loan an appli cant must be a farmer engaged in the business of farming, breeding, rais ing, or fattening livestock. He must devote certain time and energy to the active management of the opera tions connected with farming. Where landlord is naid cash rent or a fixed return without regard to the success or failure of the farming operations, and does not direct the management of such operations the Tenant, and not the landlord, is considered the "farmer". KINDS OF LOANS A. OROP LOANS are made for the purpose of producing, harvesting and marketing crops. The note be comes due as nearly as possible at the time rf harvesting and market ing the crops, and becomes a first lien on all crops with additional security if required. . B. LIVESTOCK LOANS are made for the purchasing, feeding, breed ing, raising or fattening livestock; and for refinancing indebtedness in curred for such purposes, : and must be secured bv a first lien on the live stock supplemented by- a first lien on other personal property.

In this series of games two pitchers showed themselves to be in good form, Kell and Parker. Kell held Wofford to two hits while Parker held Textile to one hit and one run during the six innings that he had the mound. Kell also gave a great .exhibition, striking out Wof ford hitters, sixteen goinl? out this way. The hitting of the' club also looked good as they secured a total of twenty-eight hits for twenty-one runs in the two games. This week-end will find Mars Hill in Tennessee playing Maryville Fri day and Carson & Newman Saturday. Last year Mars Hill was able to de feat both of these teams. This year's team seems to have more power than the 1934 edition, also more and bet ter pitching, and unless the other teams on Mars Hill s schedule are much stronger than last season, a great year is expected. One thing is noticeable in the Mars Hill club this year: thev believe that they cannot be defeated and they have the will to win. Some think that the club is too cocky, as the boys feel that they are good and they do not mind saying so. Baseball men that have seen them work out have the same opinion as the players and three major league scouts have al ready notified Coach Roberts that they will be present at several games this year.

TOTHERED CROSS A few days aeo some children were talking in our presence of affairs at their school, and in particular of the Igrades certain of their classmates bad made on the first half-year's work. Some had made good grades, others bad, but very few, it seemed, had made their grades honestly; they had cheated on their written examination. they regularly did on any test. They were speaking of chlidren in the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. For years we have been hearing occasion ally such reports of dishonesty among' the children of our public schools. It is to be hoped that the children were representing the condition as worse than it really is, though there is no doubt that they thought they were telling the truth. It would be terrible indeed if in 'their school work in early years boys and girls learn to be, dishonest. In the fable the boy whor stole "his mates hornbook and escaped punishment was later hanged for theft.

In worse in later years. This is a matter which deserves the attention of all who teach and supervise in our schools. They mast see to it that whatever else a child learns while under their tuition he Jearns to be honest. This is their responsibility, and they should take it seriously. When children in public schools learn to cheat on their examinations and practice the shrewd tricks neces sary to escape detection, it should give us pause. The child who cheats in the grades will, barring a miracle, cheat in high school, and the one who cheats in high school will cheat in college, and is in great danger of learning to think that cheating is the mark of manliness and nobility, and to be dishonest in the affairs of active life in his later years. Of course, there was cheating in college exam inations before there were written tests in grade and high schools, but now the evid is greatly exaggerated. Fifty years ago, before the days of the graded school, no one ever heard of cheating on written work among children in their early years. When promotion from grade to grade on the basis of written examinations was not heard of, and there was little oc casion for cheating on any kind of written work. Now all is changed. The term grade is made the basis of promotion, and this puts an undue emphasis on grades on the examina tions and other written work. Ac cordingly, H is easy for the pupils te believe that the grades are every thing; they care little for knowledge of the subjects they study; what they want is grades high grades, being just as covetous of high grades dis honestly made as they should be of those made honestly. The parents too of these children are often aa covetous of high grades for their darlings as the children themselves, and woe to the teacher who fails to on Citizens Bank of Marshall, for this scramble for $25.00 u-my-humble contribution to 'grades it oiten nappens tnat tne Hon est stuaent is at a distinct aisaavan tage ; be he as faithful as he may, the dishonest boy and girl get the . high grades and their names are oav the needy sufferers of the storm stricken area of Madison County.
