DENNY.
Quite a number of people
of other communities attended services at this place Sunday.
Miss Alma Bryan of Grady is visiting
relatives and friend here this week. Miss Alma attended school here two
years ago and during her stay in our community won many friends who are always
glad to have her visit them.
Quite a number of the patrons visited our
school Friday evening. We wish that more would do likewise. There is
nothing that helps a school more. We have the best school that we have had
for three years and we don't think we would exaggerate much to say that we have
as good a school as we ever had. About the only thing we need is another
room to our house so we can have two teachers. So patrons go to advocating
another room. We can build it. So lets do it.
We notice that quite a number of candidates
have already announced for office, and of course there are more to follow.
As they are, as a rule, very sympathetic for the farmers, we suggest that each
candidate procure and ride a bicycle while out canvassing for votes. "A hint to
the wise." in this case may not be sufficient, so we will just say that corn is
selling at a dollar a bushel.
Willie Blount, we are sorry to say, is
confined to his on account of the grippe.
Mr. Whitting and family of Postoak visited
Mr. Jake Adam's family Sunday.
MIss Mollie Irving of Kosse visited friends
and relatives here this week.
