Buxton's joint resolution re
garding the placing in statuary
ball, Washington, of a statue of
Vance was . passed by the
Senate Wednesday. Proceeding
its passage there was a lengthy
discussion by members who
favored placing statues of Ran

the prevailing opinion was that
only one, that of Vance, should
be placed now.

What is the matter with the
people of our town getting together?
In past years that was one of the
strong factors, but of late there . has
been too much silent knocking. Let

itself must fall. It will make us ai

We are pleased to see sd many
of our citizens taking pride in their
homes. Tne word "Home." next to
that of "mother," is the greatest ever
uttered by human tongue.' What a
refuge the home is when the darkness
gathers! How glad one is to get a
glimpse of 'home when time and
space have separated him from it if
even for a brief period ! There seems
to be good natured rivalry here in an
effort to make "our home" look a
little neater and thus be the more in
viting to the occupants than all
others. Such rivalry is certainly
pardonable.
Our citizens deserve credit for
the pride they take in our schools.
We venture the assertion that not
a student ever went forth from our
little city, but went away with the
best wishes of our people; they gave
him encouragement during school
life and when he departed took him
y the hand and said, "God speed
hee." Not one who has finished the
Course in our schools, wnerever ne
may be, but wishes our town and ;
our people well, for it was among j
our Christian people, surrounded by
an influence that was elevating ana
