REMARKABLE CHERRY TREE
Wilson Coghill, who resides
two miles southwest of Rogers,
has a remarkable cherry tree. It
measures four feet in circumfer
ence, is 50 years old and has been
bearing fruit over 45 years. It is
what is known as a May cherry
and seldom fails to bear. This
year Mr. Coghill gathered twelve
crates from the old tree and sold
them at $1.75 per crate. The
limbs of the tree are very large
and extremely long, and in order
to gather all the fruit this year a
large platform was built in the
branches of the tree, which aided
the gatherers in reaching the
fruit.

the Alleghennies, of the three sis

“Verbina” “Scapina,” and “Ker

now matched by a happening from
Central Park itself. A certain
mother spending an hour with her
little son out under the great blue
tent overheard a colored mammy,
on a bench near her call her daugh
ter “Exy.”
’ “That’s a very odd abbrevia

child’s name*”

THE RURAL SCHOOLS
Between eight ninths and nine
tenths of the population of the
South is rural and agricultural.
The great masses of the p.sople of
the South, therefore, are depend
ent upon the rural schools for
education. The rural schools, then,
are the strategic points in the edu
cational system of the Southern
States. Farming is still the great
est institution of the South. The
preservation and improvement of
its greatest industry and its great
est institution depend upon the
improvement of these rural
schools. Because of the sparse
population, the large territory,
the had roads, the geographical
bearings, the small amount of tax
able property, and the small
school fund, these rural public
schools are the most poorly equip
ped and the most inefficient pub
lie school in the South Unless
they can be made equal to the
best public schools of the town
and cities, and adapted to educat
ing farmers’ children for farm
life rather than away from farm
life, many of the best people of
the country will continue to leave
the farm, and the disastrous drain
upon the best blood of the coin;
try will be kept up until there
may be left there only “the poor
est peasant population, too ignor
ant to know the value and I doss
ing of an education and too indif
ferent to eare to secure it for their
! offspring.^_ _
