THE REVIEW: REIDSVILXJE, N. O. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 16TH. 1919. PAOB SIX VOTE ON THE BOND ISSUE FOR THE NEW SCHOOLS On January 13, 1920, the quali fied voters of the Iteidsville School District will bo given an oppor tunity to uso their influence and east their ballots in favor" of a $73 000 band issue for school improve ments. Official notice of the regis tration and ' election appears, else where in this issue of The Review. la view of this important step, tho school authorities are taking this opportunity to point out the im perativo need of additional school facilities and the use to. which this money would be put' in providing same . The time has arrived when fur ther educational progress in Reid-;. villa is absolutely dependent upon a liberal building , program to re- j Here the present congestion and provide for linture growth. F.eids ville today has two schools for white children and one for colored. Almost without 'exception every room In these three buildings is so closely packed with children that It is practically Impossible for them to observe the best laws of sanita tion and hygiene. All that 1s necessary to convince any citizen of that faot is a rapid survey of conditions. All available space In both white schools is now occu pied. At Lawsonville Avenue one gnada fci seated in the auditorium. For the colored people it ha.s been necessary to . rent two additional rooms . both of which " are poorly lighted and poorly ventilated. Thie. law requires every cade, . - 1 1.-4 t. of eight and fourteen to attend school. That being the ease it re quires those in authority to make adequate provision for their at tendance In the way of buildfngj ad teachers. If this is dona and It can not be avoided another year will find Reidsville unable to provide for any others outside the limits of the law. The High School la already badl7 handicap- j lied due to the fact that It is crowd and effeclent. , To meet these conditions it 13 planned to use the money which the1 bond issue will provide for two definite purposes. A part' of it will bo used to construct aim -i"u' modern high school building thus separating the high school pupils from those of the '.grammar 'Trades and offering them an opportunity for cfllcient work. The remainder of the money will be devoted to th construction of an additional building to take care Of the colored children. The latter is an ausunut: -hirh no one will deny who understands present condi tions. . ' b It is not believed that any one will oppose this 'progressive iiioao menf for the dev lopment "of Reid ville's schools.:: : L"t every public, spirited citizen register and work and vote for the bonds.

My chum, Tom Nicholson, at twentj was as likely a young feller as you ever sec. He. had' u 'head of black hair thick as a mop. .His ..well-kept white t!eth under liis black inustaclic formed n fine contrast, and In; had a clear complexion, bailie Morgan was as purty for a gal as Tom was for a man. She too had a beautiful head of hair rcachln' flown when she stood up to within a foot of the door. Well, they soon got engaged and everybody .said they'd make the hand somest couple that had ever been mar ried in Jonesbourgh. Hut theui beauty marriages with nothin' else to back 'em up ure unsartin'. Tom had nothin' .with which to support a wife, and Sal He vvasn't a robust. 'gal at all, so the weddin' couldn't come off in a hurry. I'.,.,, :.-.......! ...... I;. ... ! est, and he and Sallie concluded that he'd better accept It, und when j lie found he was doeu well he could I come for her and take her back with I 1dm.' ' ' I reckon there was a sorrowful j jiarteii,. only they was bouyed up by I the hope that after a year or two i they'd git together again. Tom left u photograph of himself and took one I of Sallie. Tom's was just like him, 1 but Sallie's not showing her red lips and a tinge of color iu her cheeks 1 wasn't quite so pretty as the original. : bailie set Tom's picture up on her ! bureau and every time she combed I her beautiful hair she divided her j glances between the hair and the' i tdiotjgraph. Tom hadn't been away from Sallie ten. minutes before he began to write to her. He sturted in while the train was rolling out of the station. By the time he reached the illace he was going to he had a letter of thirty pages written, and had mailed her postals at all important stations. Sal lie began wrlten as soon as her eyes wvre dry enough after cryeu, to see the pnper she: was wrlten on. The flr.t few days after Tom's departure ehe only stopped writen for meals. Them letters kept going from one to the other for years. Just when they began to grow less just when they stopped, only Tom and Sallie knew. Tom was unfortunate In everything he undertook, lie got sick a year after he parted with Sallie, and was In the hospital six months. WTien he came out he had to begin all over again. He never wrote Sallie that they'd better give each other up ; nor did Sallie write that to him. Both hoped that some day Tom would have a FtroKti or lucic nnu meir areain of happiness would come true. Well, I reckon it was about twenty five years after these models of con btancy separated neither, married anyone else that one day' an old party bald as a coot, and what fe hairs was left on his bend white B3 snow, stopped me on the street, and said : "Aren't you Norman Dale?" " "That's my name," 1 answered, look en at him trying to remember him, "Willi niHV von hj?" ....... ....... ..w. "Why, . .Norman I" he said reachen for my bund, "don't you know me? I'm your old chum Tom Nicholson." "You don't napn it?" "Lord, how you've '.changed. I wouldn't 'a' knowedyou, if you hadn't been pointed out , to me. Have I changed much?" This made me mud and I remarked sarcastically : , "Not a bit. You're the same baud some feller you wus when you left here twenty-live years ago." "I want to know," he said, -looking.. jae in the eye to find out whether on no I was iluttering him. "On the whole," I added, "I thlnB you've improved." This satistied him and he went oi ', asking me about different persons ha had left In the town, most of whom were dead, finally he asked about Sal ' lie Morgan, lie had swallowed what I had said about his own appearance, so I wondered If he would gulp down what I'd say about Sallie. I said that the was more mature, but I didn't think Bhe hud lost any of her beauty. He told me that luck bad come to him at last and he had come home to find Sallie, and take her back West with him as his wife. We talked a long while about old times and then I told Tom there wa to be a lecture that evening; we 'wus all going, und he'd better go along. He said he was g.ing to see his old Kweeihearr. I told him she would be t the lecture, and he consented to go with me. Tom came to my house for supper, and a little later we all went to the : lecture. Sallie Morgan sat three seats in front of us. Tom looked about for her and not seeing the girl he left behind lum askeu me if sue was .in the house. I pointed her out to him. She had grown very fleshy, weighing two hundred pounds nnfl . her hair was half, white; besides being very thin, for she had lost most of it after having a fever. I saw Tom shudder. When the lecture was over and we were leaving the hall, I saw my wife say something to Sallie who at once glanced at Tom. I saw Sallie shake her head and she got out of the hall as quick as she could. Tom had al ready made his escape. The next morning he returned to the West. Tom wrs more changed than Sallie, He belonged to a family who grew old in appearance while still compara tively young. 7Ti "TK (01 1f Wednesday December 1 7tk 4:00 I 3 M Reidsvilleo WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER EIGHT.
