As I am a constant reader of your good little paper, I thought I would write you a few lines in regard to school work. The writer closed. his school at Friend ship Easter Monday with a play. a large crowd was present Ihis has been one oi the most successful years in the history of It he -school. 1-wish to aav a tew words in regard to this school. At this school I began November ,5, 1906, and taught until March 4 4v - . i 1 y, iyu7r peing nve ana one fourth months term. Out of a total of.about 50 children in the district we enrolled 34. I wish to tnanK an oi tne patrons ana the parents oT this school for the attendance, they gave me. This is one of the best schools in For . syth and Davidson counties. I think there has been a good jears work done all over our XOuiiiryj auu iuuiu its jiuiuiug iu . fear with our excellent superin tendents at the head of our schools i that each year will sjiow anim provement. There are some of . my pupils who will have to'go to work, but there are some who can attend school later if they would; and let me' urge each one not to stop, but attend some col lege or academy. Those who cannot attend should study at homo until tho next term begins. I wish to direct a personal appeal to the parents, to the young men and young ladies. Nearly ever' parent loves his child, and this love is manifested by the interest taken in its welfare and culture Young man and lady, make some thing out of yourself, and be somebody. Spurn the habit of indulging in literature and amubements that are low and de grading. Lift yourself above those who surround you that are leading a wandering life.'.-Do not be content without a good education, for vou can eret it if you will work. The struggle to get it is hard and rough, the re ward is great and lasting. You cannot afford to bo classed with the illiterates of the Twentieth Century. Remember too, that the men and women who have accomplished most in life, have been educated men and women; that many of those whose names send a thrill of admiration fi rough our souls, had a hard struggle to acquire an education. Then try to nfino and educate yourself. Life should be a grand reality to yob, and you should make it so. The Bible tells us that God made us in his own im- -r 1 age. Juet us prove .ourselves worthy of the likeness .and rela tionship we sustain to Him, for are slowly passing away and soon the affairs of church and stato must test upon our shoulders. Then let us educate, fit and pre pare ourselves for the responsibil ities sooner or later to be taken upon us. Lewis G. Nifong. tho gray haired men and women Winston, Route One. My papa takes the Guide, and we all enjoy reading it. Miss Rosa S. and Mr. S. A. K. are sporting to beat old Miss Mi toh el. Miss-Ruth E. and Mr. W. L. C. are still sporting. Think they will inake a match. Miss Rosa S. says she loves F. Dt B. better every time she sees him. I think they are plan ning to surprise Mr. S. A. K. I hope so, for ho thinks he is all in all, but Rosa says she knows bet ter. Miss L. M. says she thinks P. J. N.'s cow must be dead, as she saw him advertising churns Sun dav. and instead of riding now ad ays, he's walking so he can catch a girl, but ho is left. Miss Les8ie M. 8a3s she is struck on the boy that wears the derby. Mr. Henry Miller says if his papa wont let him have his horse and buggy to go to see Miss Lnla B: he is going to ride his oJ4tcow. Hurrah for you Henry.- Miss Emma Miller has thrown her Flint at a bird through a mistake. I guess Mr. Stone can stand a chance now. All the girls envy MifsE. P.V fellow, he is so pretty. Til Sib.
