GOOD SCHOOL WORK
Aged Teacher Says Much De
pends Upon the Patrons
Editor Journal.—If there is
space this week in your news
columns, please publish this
item :
As I was passing through
the country recently, en route
to my old home, I passed the
well known Scott school house,
in district 88 where Prof. Mc
Kinley Huddleston is principal,
and Miss Irene Barnwell as
sistant. ,
Both are very efficient
teachers and are doing excel
lent work. Their pupils are
very busy and seemingly very
kind and obedient.
While traveling along, as I
came near the school it appear
ed to me that I, as a citizen,
owe the school, the faculty an
myself, a isit in a co-operative
way, for I might be of some
encouragement, so 1 made a
brief call and was amply re
paid by seeing such commend
able work being done. I left
the school house with a good
heart because of the enthusi
astic work 1 saw. I went on
and spent the night with my
old chum, J.A. Griffin, who
I learned to love when we were
boys. In his lonely state, he
ai.d I talked over many of our
life experiences.
Resuming my journey I
stopped at the Oak Hill School
in disrict 59, where 1 was rais
ed, and where, 42 years ago
this winthe, George Criglerand
I taught the first term of
school that was ever taugth in
the old school building at
that place.
I was glad to find good
work being done here by . J
Jimerson, daughter of Charlie
Jimerson, and Miss Merri
wether, daughter of Vaugh
Merriwether, both of whom are
mv friends. Mr. Merriwether i
was a pupil of mine when I
taught at Oak Hill in 1892.
I want to appeal to the par
ents, and the citizens to co-op
erate with and help those girls,
for their success depends
largely upon this.
Seeing what I saw in this
school made me realize that
with the help of others, my
services in teaching were not
all in vain.
Respectufully,
T. J. HOLCOMBE
BRASS AS MONEY
Man in Newark Uses Brass
And Saves Money
We heard of a good citizen
of Newark the other day who
does not take The Journal,
but borrows it from from his
neighbor. We find satisfaction
is the fact that this good citi
zens desire to read The Jour
nal gives him the brass to ask
for his neighbor’s.

Mankind is prone to regard
| a good memory as a possesion
| byond price. This it eeartain
ly is—within limitations. Yet
there are conditions under
which a short memory would
be much more valuable. We
would benefit by forgetting
the petty slights and insults;
by ceasing to envy those more
fortunate; by wiping from our
mind all traces of bitterness
over wrongs and injustice.
Such a faculty for forgetting
would bless and sweeten our
lives and the lives of those a
bout us..
