Hart, of Saluda, died with typhoid fever. In this we were mistaken. Her death resulted from the effect of an old operation several years ago being complicated with dysen tery. , We are informed that there has not been a case of typhoid fever in Saluda this year. The News gladly corrects the error of last week. COLUMBUS HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Special to The News. 1 ' Our pnrftllmpnt is nnw sivrv- nine, with a good daily attend-1 ance. Mr. Walter Jackson, of Melvin Hill, gave us a call a few day! ago and informs us that he will enter school here in the near fu ture. The Young Men's Literary "Society is now doing good work. The boys are taking an interest in the work and the attendance is increasing. The people of the town are cordially invited to at tend our meetings and we hope to have you with us as often as possible. We would be glad to see a large number of the school teach ers of the county enroll with us. There is room for them and we are sure that a few months in our school would help them in their work as teachers in the pub lic schools. Columbus is a good place to attend school. The com munity is a quiet; one where out side attractions do not break into the class room. The cost of liv ing is low and . the advantages are all with the student. If all the boys and girls in our county who should be in school would decide to enter school, we would be compelled to turn them away for want of room. There are several schools in the county and I dare say that there is room in each one for a larger number of students. Parents, it is nothing more than your duty to educate your chil dren. You did not have the op portunity to get an education, your times did not demand it of you as the present demands it of your children. You do not wish to start your boy or girl out in life handicapped in any way but if you neglect to give the best training your circumstances will permit you are taking him out of the race in life that would mean most to him- Special To The Newa.

Church South, Try on, N. C, requests the honor of your presence at a Sock Social, to be given at the Library on Tuesday evening, October 19th, 1909, at 8 p. m. " "This little sock we give to you It is not for you to wear. "Please multiply your size by 2; And place therein with care, (In pennies or in cents) Just twice the number that you wear We hope it is immense. So if you wear a No. io, you owe us 20, see?

N: Hall and wife are visiting their daughter, Mrs. Biggerstaff, at Cherry Mountain. Quie a number of our people attended services at Hickory Grove Sunday. The material for the new bridge at the Nance place is on the ground and we hope will soon be j;ea.dy for crossing. Mrs. Fleming Jackson visited her parents in Cooper Gap last Saturday. Clerk of Superior Court S. B. Edwards and family attended services at Bethlehem Sunday. Mr. Butlar Champion and wife visited at Columbus and Skyuka Saturday night and Sunday. It seems to us that it is time that the citizens along the Mills Gap road refrain from breaking the Sabbath. It is not an un usual sight to behold a train of market wagons going to and from their destination each Sunday. Most of these men are good citi zens and do not mean to beJ violators of the law, but they should consider the bad example they are setting to children, who are being taught to d keep the Sabbath. B.
