pleased with the ratings of most of

many Texas counties, “Of course”,
said Prof. Van Winkle, "there are but
few schools anywhere in the state

NEIGHBOR PRESS
FOLK SAY
Anderson County Herald—Looks
like you never can get things just
exactly right. When the roads are
too good we break the speed limit;
when they are too bad we break a
spring, and maybe some of the com-
mandments.

perfectly welcome to all the winter
weather we are having, but if it isn’t

But by comparison, Smith county’s
schools with but few exceptions, and
those exceptions being in districts
where the patrons themselves are in-
different, are making gratifying pro-
gress.”
Upon report of Inspector Van Win-
kle, State Rural Aid to the amount of
$16,770 00 was awarded to Smith
county schools, among these being
two colored schools. The appropria-
tions, it is understood, would have
been some larger but for the fact that
in drouth-stricken areas of the state
the needs were so urgent in many in-
stances as to make it desirable that
the schools thereof be given some
preference. The schools receiving
this aid and the amount apportioned to
each follow:

a public school building. The propos-
ed bond issue would also provide for

repairs on one of the ward schools
here. The election for the bond issue

Henderson, Jan. 24—Fire from cig-

Gilmer Mirror—The office boys says
the reason the jelly-bean parts his
hair in the middle is that every block
must have an alley.
Rusk Cherokeean—We may have
too many laws, as many agree, but
there is one, that should be on every
statute book, and that is one prohib-
iting your friend from insisting on
reciting to you just what he saw at
the movies.
Grapeland Messenger—If preach-
ers were to treat their pulpits as some
of the church members treat the pews,
they would get fired in less time
than it has taken to write this.
Greenville Messenger—The man
who thinks he has no sins to contend
with is *just a plain fool, and the fel-
low who would condemn a righteous
suggestion on the basis that the sug-
gester is not perfect is a bigger fool.
Because a man is fighting his way
up stream is no sign that he will not
be bumped by drift wood occasion-
ally.
Lubbock Avalanche—We think that
it does not take a brainy man to use
profane language, but rather on the
other hand it takes a man with sense
not to swear.
Rusk County News—If we had one
or two fat hogs in the pen, a flock of
high bred chickens, a good milk cow
in the pasture, a few bushels of corn
in the crib, a good turnip green patch,
what difference would it make with
us how many run for governor this
year? :
