Miss Nita Gahagan of Walnut, H. C., will take Miss Miller’s plaee. Miss Gahagan has many friends here -who are glad to see her come back. She taught in the High School two years ago. It was announced in last week’s issue that .Mr. A. B. Scroggs teacher in th^ Hayesville High school had re* signed to attend the mid-winter term -of the University. Since that issue came out, Mr. Scroggs has changed his plans and will continue his work liere -until school closes. Rev. Chat. S. Plyler Receiver Pounding at Myers Chapel Sunday Rev. Chas. S .Plyler filled his regu lar appointment at Myers Chapel Sunday 26th, and after services were •over he started to enter his car to re turn to Hayesville but found that there was not room for him in the car. During the services his gbod friends had. filled his car full of nice -things. The Hayesville church gave Rev. Plyler a pounding soon after his return from Conference in October. Rev. Plyler wishes to express his pro found appreciation for the many kind remembrances of his people. Motto: “0 for the gift that none can give ns, To see ourselves as others see us!” Ten yean ago one could not have persuaded an audience to believe that there tees going to be a school house erected at this favorable location to shine and. give light; that toe old building would have to fade away from the presence of toe new one. The main reason they would have not believed it is because they could not aee it. Some people will not believe anything without having first seen the evidence. Now before we could have this hew building here as a dedication to our uplift, a light to those whose path is obscure, some one had to believe that it was going to be, that it really existed. We can easily see that there must have been some contemplation on toe part* of those who were able to foresee the coming of this insti tution, Now, we, who are eye-wit nesses to these contributions that the good fathers and motherd, friends and of our. school have made for our uplift ,and our main stay in life should down deep in our hearts re solve they foresaw our needs, that they believed we would become lead ers of our country. But if ton yars Sgo our parents could not see what we see. and believe now, let ns re member that when they were awaken ed they saw and believed. By their faith, accompanied by their seeing now they have made it possible for us to enjoy the opportunities we have at Ogden. Seeing is believing. Can you be lieve that some one caught the vision of our needs? Can you believe when you see tins magnificent, up-to-date New photo of Mrs. Rebecca Rogers of Austin, Texas, 22 year old co-ed bdndit, who is charged with holding up and robbing the Farmers’ National Bank at Buda, Texas. When released on bail she went off to be married and faces trial after her honeymoon. V Surprise Birthday. Dinner for J. B. Gray On Sunday, December 26th, Mr. J B.

He intends to devote his time to broadcasting which, is wonderful news for the millions of music loving radio fans. W. T. Hunt Elected Town Marshall For a long time the people of Hayesville have seen the need of a town officer and a few weeks ago Mr. W. H. Hunt was elected to this office. We are satisfied Mr. Hunt will make a good officer and most of us are glad to see him put in as marshall. It is hoped that the people of the community will back Mr. Hunt and help make Hayesville a clean little town in which to live. not worthy of the name of teacher, this class is to be pitied rather than censored. Then we come to the third class, the “Busy Bee”. They have caught the masters vision of a life of service and set about their work with so much zeal and enthusiasm that they have no time for frivolity. They study the needs of their pupils, their nature, their tendencies, their'activi ties, their home life, for they realize that to them is given the task, the privilege, the great responsibility of guiding human lives and of develop ing citizens for this world and for all eternity. They realize that they are the chisel in the hand of the sculptor to help mold a life. Their motto is: “I will be true for there are those who trust me. I will be pure for there are those who care. I will be strong for there are those who suffer. I will be brave for there is much to dare. I will be friends of all the poor, the friendless. I will be giving and forget the gift. I will be humble for I know my weak ness. I will look up and love and laugh and lift.” To have our boys and girls coming in daily contact with such personali ties, constitutes to-day one of the greatest forces for character building in all our communities and in the world. ceptaibly in the different positions of life. May you recognize that our de terminations grow stronger each day to make this school a beckoning light to those who care to have more of the better and richer things of school life. We would have you to see clearly beyond the purposeful designs of our school, the Unfailing Hand of God, who is always present and able to aid and assist in the right kind of education, which we believe our school upohlds. Good people of our own township, don’t forget that they who conquer the world are they who see beyond the world noble and pur poseful designs of education put into the life of a good people. —By Ruby Mason, Ogden Consolidat ed School. » SWEETWATER Sweetwater wasn’t dry by any means Christmas, two ways at that. But everything went off all 0. K. as far as tlto jijritor knows.

Since opening his silo he has had a steady increase. His last cream check was nearly $25.00 for two weeks. Carl ton has four Jersey cows, and two common milk cows that he had been using for family use. One of hia Jerseys is dry and will be in in one month. On his three jerseys and the surplus from these two common cows with the use of a silo he is realizing practically $50.00 per month. Dur ing October and November before he opened his silo he was feeding com mon roughage supplemented with soy beans, he was getting $10.00 overy two weeks or $20.00 per month. The first two weeks after opening hia silo his check went up to $15.00 and last week it went on up to over $24. A silo to Carlton Ledford looks like a return of about $$0.00 per month. Don’t you believe it pays? His silo cost him $64.45 and will last ten or fifteen years. This is why all the farmers are clamoring for County Agent work. And this is why they are putting out the effort to keep him. F. HAWKINS KILLS LARGE HOG Mr. Fletcher Hawkins of the Craw ford Creek section reports to this office that he has plenty of meat for the holidays, as ihe killed a hog a few days ago weighing 567 pounds. Reply to Rip Van’s Ravings (By W. T. Hunt.) Why did you write something, O, thou deluded man, Which no one on the earth could ever hope to “scan”? O, why did you call spirits of poets long dead To suffer the wild ravings of your frenzied head? Shades of rhymesters! It was void of rhyme or meter; But they’ll retaliate by aiding Saint Peter When he passes your sentence—tells you where to go; You’ve heaped coals on Byron, Shakespeare, Burns, Milton and Poe. You took a fling, too, at the Hunts— Leigh and old Bill, And poured ov . them a foolish, dis cordant swill; For this the good old Saint will tell you where to dwell— Mayhap ’twill be in the nether most parts of—Well. Had you turned your rabid talent to cult or ism, Or even left off your puerile criti cism Doubtless you would have reached some happy height; But you have doomed yourself to ob livion—good night. The stuff you wrote was sick, weak, and tottery; It couldn’t ,be poetry—it might be “pottery”. No one should write without rythm or reason— Such a tyro should be tried forthwith for treason. There’s a trite old saying you should get in your head: “That a fool rushes in where Angels fear to tread”. Now, I trust you will well ponder the things I’ve said— You’ll see you, not others, should have stayed in the bed. W. M. Curtis. Old time songs were tieng and fine apples were pientifnL We a|e glad that Mr. Curtis takes so mush interest in the young folks. Mr. Andrew Patton and family spent Sunday with Mr. W. A. Cook. Mr. 0. H. Sanderson spent tire holi days with his family,
