Parr James Longstreth is working at Lowell, » William H. Myers is again employed by the W. L. Wood firm. Quite a number tfbm here attended the funeral of old Uncle Jacob Keener, at the Good H6pe church near Aix. Albert Sherrill and family have moved to Indianapolis, where Albert has a position as motorman on a street car line. Elmer and Fred Stephenson, who haye positions in Chicago, spent Thanksgiving with their parents at this place. The dredge just north of Parr has commenced work and it begins to look as though the Iroquois ditch system was a “go," after a hard struggle of about fifteen years. Lee Myers, who has been living in Demotte at times, returned to Parr Monday with his wife and household goods and settled down to business of ousekeeping in the Barkley property. “Long may they live and happy may they be, and a bright and prosperous family may they see.” After reading the article in the Fair Oaks items, concerning the meet of the F. O. and P. schools, we could not refrain from saying something in selfdefense else we be bit tn the back as we, jumped the fence. But what will be said in reply will be in no unfriendly spirit. Only stating facts as they really were. We will not allow our minds to

ponder upon the thought for one minute that that article is the sentiment of the majority of the people of F. O. In fact we know it is not the sentiment of the teachers. For we know there are good fair minded people in Fair Oaks as anywhere, but loth to say, they are pested with a few croakers. This article above mentioned seems to be the product of one of those. In the first place the F. O, teacher suggested to the P, teacher, that they have some kind of physical sport between the two schools. Parr said football. Fair Oaks said a field meet, and a field meet it was and they met their "Waterloo.’’ Both schools acted fair and honorable with each other. But some sore-heads thought our our boys were their seniors by four years, hence their defeat. We absolutely deny the accusation of running in any 20y ear-old man or 22-year-old either. There wasn’t a boy in the contest over seventeen unless he was from Fair Oaks. We frankly admit one of our boys was seventeen and the others his junior by from one to five years. We fear the writer failed to examine their teeth very closely or he wasn't aware of the fact that the fertility of the soil in this local ity had much to do with developing the human system to such a robnst state. (This alone, perhaps, was the sole cause of the writer making such a wild guess on the boys ages.) With the early physical training of the young lads, the two combined constituted such a power of endurance, thus decidedly out classed the Fair Oak’s boys, hence won first, second and third in every contest except one. We gave them one point through courtesy. Must say everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. Mr. correspondent, we beg to put your suggestion into a motion and when we meet at the spring meet, come down and stay all day with us and get acquainted and we will devote the forenoon to a mental contest and the afternoon in a physical contest, and when we become better acquainted we will become better friends. As some good, somebody has said, Good friends are better than fine gold. I find it sweet as I glow old, To prove in you this happy truth To which I held in early youth, And having proved shall ever hold; Good friends are better than fine gold. Aix survived the snow storm. Etta Garriott is staying at Elmer Sullenberger’s. James Wiseman was a Rensselaer caller Tuesday. Carter Garriott sold three loads of hogs this week. Fred Shultz called on Orpha Swaim Sunday evening. The attendance at church Sunday evening was fine, Mrs. Mosie Davisson served at Chas. Reid's last Tuesday. Miss Tillie Malco called at Clarence Hurley’s Tuesday evening. The Thanksgiving entertainment at Aix was well attended last Friday. Clara Garriott and Robert Sheets attended church here Sunday evening. Mrs. Wiseman called on her .daughter Indus at Shelby Comer’s Wednesday.* Preparations for Christmas trees at Aix and Good Hope are well under way. Supt. Hamilton and Trustee Davisson and wife visited our schools Wednesday. Steve Comer has several car loads of bog» awaiting a car at Surrey and Rensselaer. Floy Williams dismissed school to attend Uncle Jacob Keener's funeral Wednesday. The funeral of Uncle Jacob Keener was held in the church which he himself named, Good Hope, Wednesday noon. Vannie Lesh sold his team of fine driving horses last Saturday. He has bought another one of Carter Garriott.

Sharon The dredge is moving along fine. B. T. Lanham is hauling off his corn. Clarencfe Lanham finished shredding Wednesday, Bessie Peters has quit working at the Racket store. Bond Smith helped M. Y. Slaughter’s butcher Thursday. Nearly everybody is througn husking corn for the season. Len Lefler of near Pleasant Ridge, dined with Wm. Jacks' Monday. Several from this neighborhood attended Mr. Beaver’s sale Wednesday. Mrs. Lanham and daughter Carrie were shoppers in Rensselaer Tuesday.

George Slaughter has returned home from Goshen, Ind., where he has been working in a factory. O, say, Mary J. you mustn't keep Arnold L. so long next Sunday evening, tor he has to work Monday. Hugh Hurley has completed his job of corn husking south of Remington and is spending a tew days at home. Misses Hope Hurley, Louisa Peters, Mary Jacks and Carrie Lanham visited Slaughter school Friday atterfioon. A family by the name of Bicknell, is moving in Mrs. Peters’ house, the one formerly occupied by Wilbur Criswell. Mr. Crabb's brother and friend of near Boswell, went home Tuesday after several days’ visit With friends here. Mr. Farmer’s butchered a beef Monday. Mr. Bruce tiutchered one Tuesday and Mr. Richeson butchered hogs Wednesday. The dredge began piling dirt in the road Tuesday; it looks as if our road was ruined for some time to come. The grade being narrow it will be dangerous to travel it unless it can be fenced. We understand that some of Mr. Daley’s friends have received word that Mrs. Dailey has been quite sick. Her many friends here will be sorry to hear it, but hope she is much better by this time. Our crowd at S. S. Sunday was rather slim but we hope it was only on account of its being so cold. While we realise that often some churches need subtraction more than additions, we do not want to see it that way in our always needed Sunday school at Slaughter.

I cannot »ay too much for Foley’* Kidney Cure.” It makes the diseased kidneys sound so they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. Unless they do this, good health is impossible. A, F. Long.
