This week begins the second term
of the school. All reports of the
students have been gotten out and
sent to the parents. We want the
parents of the community to give
close attention to these reports as
they should give them an insight to
the work of the student.
The Mothers Club has been doing |
good work to aid the school, espe-
cially in the Domestic Ssience De- j
partment. Miss Williams, the teacher
of this Department, deserves a great
deal of credit for the good work that
is being done this year. With no,

Some years ago H. P. Burage, a
student at law in Greenville, S. C.,
had been troubled for a long while
with a persistent cough which he says,
“greatly alarmed me, causing me to
fear that I was in the first stage of
consumption.” Having seen Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy advertised
he concluded to try it. “I soon felt
a remarkable change and after using
two bottles of the small size
permanently cured.”
Preparedness applies to the human
body as well as to nations. A bottle
of Prickly Ash Bitters on the shelf
at home is the best and cheapest
form of preparedness for indegestion,
constipation and kidney troubles. It
is the dose taken in time that wards
off sckness and saves money. Price

Beginning this week, we will
to have a few school notes in
paper each week, giving the news of
the school. We feel that the people
of the community will appreciate
being informed about the workings
of the school.
The particular attraction at the
school lately is the fire escape. Both
old and young alike seem to be in-
terested. The children of the lower
grades believe that they should prac-
tice in order that they may know ex-
actly how to get from the lower
floor to the fire escape in the event
the fire broke out in th top of the
building.
Mr. W. E. Justin, secretary of the
Board of Trustees, was the first
member of the Board to officially try
out the fire escape. He reported it
to be fine, whereupon several of the
teachers placed an appreiative ap-
proval by actually taking a slide.
Now, we want the fire marshall,
Mr. Carmichael, to give it an official
test on the next real cold morning.
Then when Mayor Biter takes his
elide, we feel that it will be suffi-
ciently tested to insure perfect sefety.
Miss Susan Miles of Austin paid
the school an official visit last week,
looking into the work of the school.
Her visit has a three fold purpose.
First, it is to look after the physical
equipment upon which the Classifica-
tion is based. Second, into the teach-
thg and administration of the school,
upon which the affiliation is baaed.
Her third duty is to look into the
Free Text Book situation. Miss Miles

Nocona, says:
“About five yean ago I suffered with
my back and kidneys. My back ached
and pained day and night and morn-
ings when I first got up, I could
hardly straightenen up. My back
was lame and stiff and my feet and
hands at times sweled. I could hardly
do my houseworfl. Whenever I stoop-
ed over, sharp pains would catch me
in the small of my back. At such
times I had trouble straightening up
and I would have to ait down and
rest. I felt run down in general and
tired all the time. My head ached
and I was annoyed by the irregular
action of my kidneys. I was surely
in bad shape until I used Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills. After other remedies had
failed to give me benefit, Doan’s gave
me great results. I took three boxes
of this medicine and was cured. I
have never had a return symptom of

Boston.—Proposals of marriage from
all sections of the country have been
pouring in on Miss Agnes Jane Mc-
Nevln. where she now resides In the
great house which Is a part of the
$250,(MX) awarded to her from the est-
tate of her former mistress, Mrs. Mary
C. McKnlght.
Charitable organizations and other
systems for parting her from portions
of het new estate have also besieged
Miss McNevin In efforts to help her
spend her fortune.
While Miss McNevin says she ex-
pects to do some good with the money
bequeathed her by Mrs. McKnlght, she
said that she does not need the assist-
ance of outsiders to work out her
plans.
The "Cinderella of Roxbury," as
Miss McNevin Is known by those liv-
ing In the locality, learned of her be-
quest several months ago and she Is
now residing In the house where she
served her benefactor as maid for

Twenty-five years ago she came to

The young woman did her wort

Mr. E. A. Bowman, who is with
the Thurston Hardware company, at
Weinert, Texas, also a member of
the local school board, came up Mon-
day and made his usual visit to the
school. Mr. Bowman is a busy man
these days, but he never comes home
without coming to the schqpl. When
he comes, he is always full of good
cheer and ready to stand by the
school in its efforts to do its full
duty for the community.

get school information first handed,
the school would fare better at the
hands of* the comunity.
We appreciate the attitude of The
Nocona News in our effort to do
something for the school. It has on
more than one occasion declared its
loyalty to us in any and all occasions
for the upbuilding of the school. We
want to acknowledge such support
as it’s that we are able to hold up
under the burdens of work and un-
just criticisms. ,
Miss O’Neal is back in school this
week, after a two weeks absence
caused by sickness.
Mr. Berkley Vaughan, principal of
the White-Priddy school, was a pleas-
ant visitor in our school one day last
week.
It is so easy for people to sit off
at long range and find fault with
the administration of the school.
They appropriate so much dignity to
themselves that they never grace the
school with their presence or offer
one idea for the developement of the
school. In fact, these wizards of
knowledge are never heard from until
something, as they see it, goes wrong,
then they are ready to come forth in
full authority and in full force. They
grow and flourish best in trouble and
turmoil that they can stir up. The
people that build schools, banks, and.
great business institutions, are those
that are on the job all the time, but
are most active in constructive work
in making sensible suggestions for
the general good. We have no pa-
tience with the individual who is
never heard from except on occasions
when they can add to the trouble and
confusion. The school is being con-
ducted to the best of our ability,
under conditions that have been
placed here to work under. We know
that we are not able to do near as
well as some who criticise us, but
there is one thing certain and that
is as long as we hold down the job
we expect to stand behind the school.
In that we want everyone connected
with it to gt a fair deal and just
treatment. We are always open to
helpful advice from those who come
with the spirit to help, but to the
cynic, we have nothing but disgust.
Those who are continually throwing
the cynic’s ban, we want them to stay
as far from the school and its oper-
ation as is possible for them to do
so. We want neither their help, ad-
vice or presence. The school is not
the property of the teachr or patron,
but its sole existence is for the child-
ren of the community, therefore, we
should be very careful as to how we
let personal matters influence us in
the administration of its affairs.
The question of a new school build-
ing is now being considered by the
board of trustees and some of the
citizens of the town. As soon as the
proper steps can be taken, the pro-
position of issuing the bonds for this
purpose will be presented to the peo-
ple of the district From all the in-
formation that we can gather, we
believe that the people are ready for
