A LETTER
McCrory, Ark.,
June 25, 1919
Dear Editor:
Please allow space in your
taper for me to say a few
words concerning the Teach
ers’ Institute which convened
Monday, June 16, at Brinkley,
* Arkansas.
On Monday, June 16, the
writer accompanied by Miss
Carry Cunningham of McCrory
took the Rock Island (Old
Jude) at Jelks, where we were
met by other teachers of this
county, viz.,Profs. J: I .Cole,
J. T. Conner of Augusta. On
reaching Wiville, Profs. Lacy,
Stegall and Misses Fowler and
Lacy of Gregory, joined us.
Having reached Brinkley at
* 4:30, we went to C. W, R. A.
, for assignment of homes.
When the enrollment com
mittee made a report, sixty
te_achers had registered to the
credit of Supt. Wilkes and
fifty of Monroe county had
registered.
We are anxious that our
peopjlp know of the Brinkley
Academy where the institute
was held, which is the pride
of the C. W. R* A. Our coun
ty Supt., Prof. W. N. Wilkes
had Prof. J. L. Bond to speak
to us, whose speech was the
most fitting ever given to be
ginners.
It was declared that longer
terms, better schools, better
trained and better paid teach
ers are the onl hopp of the
negro race and the only way
to make America ideal is to
develop ones heart brain and
hand.
I am pleased to thank the
Board of Education and the
patron of our city for their co
operation during our past ad
ministration. Be you assure
that I not only worked for
livelihood, but also to keep our
schools and community in pace
with like schools and commu
nities. I am willing to labor
I until my life will have been
exhausted for the uplift of
America, thanking board and
patrons for past and future fa
vors.
C. C. MERRIWEATHER,
Principal.

HOT WEATHER DANGERS
Anyone is doubly liable to ill
effects from the hot sun when
the stomach and bowels are
clogged with a mass of undi
gested food. If you suffer
from sick headache, billious
ness, bloating, coated tongue,
heaviness or any ill caused by
indigestion, take a Foley Ca
thartic Tablet and you will
feel better in the morning. J.
L. Horton, 505 W. Fair St., At
lanta, Ga.,. writes: “I found
myself feeling likp a new man
Foley Cathartic Tablets are
the best ever.”
GRATEFUL WOMAN STORY
Mrs Robert Blair, 461, S 20
St., Terre Haute, Ind., writes:
“I suffered two years with kid
ney and bladder trouble. Af
ter taking Foley Kidney Pills
a few short weeks I found my
troubles gradually disappear
ing. The backache stopped
andl am also free from those
tired spells and headaches and
my vision is no longer blurred”
Foley Kidney Pills help the
kidneys, keep the blood clean
and eliminate the impurities
that cause backache, rheuma
tic pains, sore, stiff and swol
len jonits and muscles. Red
