PRICE, $1 PER YEAR
Entrance Eees Paid.
When the board found this dis
trict so short of funds that it did
not have the ready money to pay
incidentials, they agreed that those
who are rec iving the greatest
benefit from the school should be
asked to give it their financial sup
port in proportion to the benefit
received from the school. As each
patron is benefited in proportion
to the number of his children in
school they decided that an en
trance fee would be the most just
and equitable manner of raising
this money. Nearly all patrons
are taking an interest irrthe school
and have paid this entrance fee.
The following list shows the
amount each has paid, Monday.

Keep this list and as others pay
1 will publish their names that
there may be no doubt as to who
is doing his part.
In all communities there is a
number who are actually on chari
ty, and a few who have so little
pride in the school that they do not
care whether there is, or is not,
money to run it. Already $44 has
been raised to pay for these, and I
am assured that an entrance fee
for every child will be paid. If you
are actually on charity there is no
disgrace in having your children's1
entrance fee paid from this fund:
but if you are able to pay. don't be
a slacker. A. J. Dowis.

SHERMAN RETURNS HORSE
Taken in March to the Sea, She Was
Too Much of a Pet for Him to
Keep From Owner,
General Sherman was with the main
body (if bis t roof at, which marched dl
rocHV-tflrougfi nty grandfather's 'plan
tation.
Several days before the soldiers ar
rived my grandfather went to Sa
vannah on business. 'His seven sons
and his two sons-in-law were fighting
for the Confederacy. Only my grand
mother. one of my aunts and the ne
gro servants were at home.
Fortunately, General Sherman led
the troops that come to our house that
day. His army was “living off the
country,” and they took most of our
chickens, cattle and hogs for food, ap
propriated what horses and fodder
they needed and helped themselves to
whatever was growing in the fields
that was'fit to eat; but there were
none of the cruelties and insults of
which irresponsible bands of foragers
wore often guilty. General Shermnn
appeared the courteous gentleman who
was performing a disagreeable duty.
Among the horses his men took from
my grandfather's house was Bess—
the big black mare that he had raised
himself, trained for his own saddle
horse and loved and petted like a child.
General Sherman took a fancy to Bess,
and he himself rode her away.
When grandfather returned and
found what hnd happened, nothing
hurt him so much as the loss of Bess.
Scarcely waiting to see how complete
ly the place had been stripped, he
mounted an old horse, the only one he
had left, and started after General
Sherman's troops. The federal" sol
diers laughed at him and Ids mount
when he came lip with them, but he
paid no heed; he was bent on recover
ing his favorite horse.
When he presented himself to the
general, my grandfather was a good
deal surprised at the kindness and
consideration with which lie was re
ceived.
“General Sherman,” he began, "I
cannot give up my horse: she is like
a child to me, My children arc grown
up now, and I have taken almost as
much care in raising and training hey
as l ever did with <>ue of them. She
knows my call, and will comb to me
when she hears me. She 1<* yours by
right of war, hut I will pay you for
her. I cannot pay you much now, hut
l will give you all that I can possibly
spare.”
“No,” said Sherman. “I believe
what you say. When I was riding her
away she whinnied and tried to turn
back again and again. Come out here
and let ine hear you call.”
At that st'badfnther gave a loud,
wflfhllrvg whistle, and almost instantlj
fame the answer—a glad whinny.
General Sherman ordered Bess sad
dled aud he put her bridle rein Into
my grandfather’s hand and bade him
ride her home.—Youth's Companion.
