Several days ago Miss
Well's pupils gave her a fruit
and silver shower. She in-
vited all the teachers in to
help her eat the fruit. Last
week the pu'pils of Miss Ses-
sions gave her a fruit show*'
er. She was as hospitable as
Miss Wells. I11 the first place,
the pupils acted very kindlv
to their teachers and secondly
the teachers were kind in di-
viding with the other members
of the faculty who wete not so
fortunate as to get a shower,
Water is an item at the
school liause. All sorts of
bottles, jugs, fruit jars, etc.,
are seen being brought in by
the pupils filled with water.
It is really a serious thing.
Mr. Bonham and Mr. Oli^
ver attended the local insti-
tute at Mt. Zion Saturday,
wlier; both of them made ad-
dresses.
Nona Thomas has been suf-
fering with a bone-felon for
several days and has not beeu
able to come to school.
The Pierian Literary Soci-
ety and the W. J. Bryan Lit-
erary Society have combined
under the new name of Eclec
tic Literary Society. The
program was rendered last
Friday. The program was
excellent and each member
came up with his part. Such
spirit as was shown will end
iu doing good for a1l.
The Campfire girls went on
"h i k e" Saturday morning.
They walked ten miles. Exer-
cise like this will soon develop
strong women. The girls are
to be complimented on their
influence in stopping the gum
chewing habit. They realize
that no refined girl will chew
in public. Reporter.
A
Sunrise Saturday morning
(found the "Minnehaha" Camp
j Fire Girls of Alto, far on a
(joyful "lii'kc." We directed
our way toward Red lawn and
arrived one nile north of ttie
residence of Dr. Pi arson.
Breakfast was begun b" a
few girls. While some of the
girls brought wood, others
made explorations. At nine
o'clock "wolielo" resounded
throughout the forest gather-
ing the girls togather at camp.
On arriving there we found
to our surprise a beautiful din |
ning room made from some of
mother nature's children; a
very huge moss covercd rock
was used for the table; leaves i
' I
fallen served for our sofa,
Breakfast was served of which
wt ate heartily, having walk/
ed the distance we had.
At 10 o'clock we hade our
camping giouud a fond good-
I bye and started for home ar-
riving here as the whistles
were announcing the noon
hour.
Nothing serious happened
more than a fall by the largest
girl, alsy one by the smallest.
Everyone declared a joyful
tifcte and all look back to.it as
the best "hike" yet.

Reduce The High Cost of Living' in The Home
The housewife can greatly reduce household expenses by having
her individual bank account. Actual cash kept on hand has a
tendency to "melt away."
A little surplus money iu the bank furnishes opportunities for
taking advantage of cash discounts, bargain sales, larger purch-
ases, etc., and in many other ways can be made to earn large
dividends.
Your account, whether large or small, will receive our most
careful consideration.

But you have got >our eyesight That you through life should go
And you cannot tell
When God shall take it from you
Who doeth all things w^ll
But I trust that in His wisdom
Like me, eutirely blind

Their flowers and the trees,
How happy I would be my friends,
You view your brother's labor
Upon the natural soil;
Oh, if I had my eyesight,
How I wold like to toil.
