No one can face life for us, therefore no 0ne judge what our life is to be. Each and every one is temptd as Jesus was, but did he yield to temptation? No, so we must not *f our lives are to be a success. We must stand on our own feet and not let others lead us astray. Of course it is hard t0 re sist temptation; as in schoo'. it is hard to turn away when we are tempted to cheat. What do we gain by it? Is each of us taking life serious enough to think of the future and what it will bring us. If only we try to live so there won t he a draw back to our happiness. It is often repeated by 0lder people, “If only I could I've my life over i would live better.” Do you suppose these peo ple enjoy to think of the past? There is omething they wou'd like to blot out of teir life forever. Life starte wen we are born into tis w^rld, and if we ave proper training from early childhood to man or womanhood we will he bet ter prepared to face life’s battles as they come, and have greater success in life. If we fail who is to blame but ourselves? If we do not hold ourselves up and get out *nto the Wpi-’d and strive for greater and better things there is no one else going to do it for us. We may be out in the world alone but there is always one who is ready and anxious to help us share our sorrows and help in every way posible if only we trust and ask him to. He gives us i-jur life to use as we like, so why can’t we let it be worth while in stead of wast'ng it? ' * " We must have' confidene in our selves. We must believe we an do the difficu’t things in life, for life’s battles always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. MRS.

OGDEN SCHOOL MAKES PROGRESS Students and Teachers Interested in Work Would it not be great to know that every citizen in Clay County took an interest in the educational work of the county? I can speak for our community. We have a class that is interested in doing things that count. Now, of course this dosen’t say we are minus the knocker. Last year Ogden school opened w'th only eighty-two pupils, one year of high school and four teach ers. This year we have three years of high school, si teachers and an en rollment of two hundred and twen ty-six pupils. This much has been accomplished by the loyal patrons of the school, together with the teaching faculty, the honorable board of education and our noble schoo’ superintendent. In our work here, as elsewhere, of course we have had problems and obstacles. We have had to deal with that class who can’t see and don’t want to see the virtue of anything. They seem to constitute a bunch of pessimists howlers. They stand out and criticize those who are strug ling to help humanity. We do not exactly fall-out with that type of an individual, but are inclined to sym pathize with him. He is the man without a vSion, who desires the life of a miser, getting along pretty well, but just to narrow and selfish to appreciate it. In this school we have just under gone a testing-out. A great many have stepped boldly to the front and have shown their true worth, while others have played slacker. Since the problem of extending our school term came up, I have seen students stand in the school room and shed tears because of the indifference of their parents in regard to the school. My dear people, if educat'on is to function proper’y in our school com munities, we must lay aside all sel fishness and criticisms and work to gether for the common good of all. I want to know what is wrong with the fellow who will not play the give and take game. There are those who as long as they are car l'ied and petted do pretty well, but let a hitch come, and call upon them for a little help—the howl begins right there the they preach funerals from all angles, declaring, “They said so and so;” “The county offi cials promised this or that.” They censure those who are working and sacrificing to save a cause that is exclusively for the benefit of their own children. This type of a fellow can’t see any farther than his yard fence, no, not even that far because he is fighting the ‘nterest of his own child. He will attack every thing that is modern and facilitating even to the butchering in on present day athletics. Folks, I want you to know my position in regard to shool ath letics—while I am not an athlete by any means, I admire the fellow that *s. I sincerely believe that it takes a boy or girl a strong character to play ball. You put a boy or girl on the basket ball court, if they have in them a streak of yellow, it will soon show up. I find that if a stu dent shows forth a weakness in the class room, that same weakness will be prominent in a bahket half game. If he can be trusted one place, he can the other.. It seems to me that those who are speaking out so bold ly against basket ball are living far back in the past, they fain would have us begin the game of mumble peg over. Of course I acknowledge there *s an extreme to any thing. “Stay in the middle of the road for neither extreme is better’” is a good policy no doubt. The great encouragement for the teachers is that on the other hand he is delighted to find'that true-blue class of loyal citizens -who stand for education to the extent they are wil ling to sacrifice rather than see the cause perish. Such a type of cit' ssens refuse to tolerate failure. It is this class that constitute the back MRS. PATTON IMPROVES HATCHERY “Great oaks from little acrons grow,” is true in more respects than one. It is amazing how one, when con centrating can deve’op their talents ! and efficiency. A: little ever a year ago when Mrs. H. B. Patton started her hatch ing business on a small scale, it seemed as though there could be only failure in store for her. In view of the fact that her location was greatly handicaped by bad roads. But as some one has said, “If you have someth'ng that is worth while the world will find a trai’ to your door.” This is certainly true in this cause. It is true that Mrs. Patton start ed out to hatch chicks on a small scale, but her work was so satisfac tory that customers found a trail to her door. This fall she installed another large capacity incubator, and now she can set about three thousand eggs at one setting. This hatchery is an asset to the county. And her unt'ring efforts and fair lea’ing have won for her al most phenominal success. Hats off to anyone who will strive, and has more than RS5pI?pmX and who has the perservance to win! This paper is always ready to commend the efforts of anyone that is working for the advancement of the progress of the county as well as their own interests. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION HELD The Brasstown Sunday School convention met at the Ogden school building, Sunday, January 29. There were several’ attending, four differ ent schools being represented. The people were greatly delighted and helped by the talks made by Col. Gray of Hayesville, N. C., and Rev. Summers and Mrs. Summers of Ranger, N. C. We want our Sunday schools to function better during the coming year than they have in the past, lets , do our best to put new life into the work, and make it succeed as never before. R. C. PIPES, Township Pres. Chamber of Commerce To Meet Friday Night Every member of the Chamber of Commerce is urged to be present at the court house at 7:30 p. m. Friday night. All the business men of the town are invited to be present at • this meeting. Important matters will be taken up in the meeting. THE BLESSING OF NEWSPAPERS I don’t know what I’d do without newspapers. I cover everything in the attic with them. I lie on them when I tinker with my car. I occasionally use them for wrap ping paper. I start fires with them in the fur nace. I put them on chairs that I have to stand on. I save the floors with them. I have use for them a hundred times a day. I keep them for the Salvatoni Army. I advertise in them. Thank God for the printed word! bone of our civilization, and people I am glad to say that I verily be lieve we have a large number of this type in Old Clay County. I am beginning to realize great things in our educat'ona’ program. Ie be lieve the time will soon be here when this county will have a system that will gain the respect of all con cerned.
