President of Rural School Im provement Association, Ap peals to The Schools to Organize. Time is Hying fast, and the pres ent school terra will soon close. I had hoped to see all the schools in the county organize rural school im provement associations during this winter. It is not too late yet. If you do nothing., but elect your offi cers, and make the organization now, you will have made a very impor tant step. There is no fear that this will be the end of it. I once read a little hint to house beepers which has been a great help to rae in my domestic affaiis. It was on the value of simply making a beginning. Do not wait fox a more favorable opportunity. A pice of work once begun is almost sure to be finished some time. Making a be ginning is half the battle. Now the same is true as to our achool improvement. Only make a beginning, and the way will open .up to-day. You may not know ex actly what to do, but once turn your attention in this direction, and you will soon find out. You will be gin reading all you can find on the subject, and asking questions. You have all seen the farmers put up long poles to which martin gourds are swung. Soon the birds fly in and build their nests in these cozy little houses. So if we will put our minds in receptive^ ?attitude, thoughts, like these birds will fly in and multiply. We will soon see plenty of work to do, and plenty of ways to do it. One object of rural school im provement is to identify the school more closely with the social life of the community. Suppose you begin simply with that. Elect a president, vice president, secretary and treas urer. Then say among yourselves. "Now the first thing, we will give the neighborhood a good time." St. Valentine's day is near. Give a Valentine party. A small sum charged for the valentines will buy a pretty picture or call bell for the school.v If you miss valentine's day get up something else. You' may say, "This is a very small beginning." True, but all things which grow must have a small beginning. Tall trees from little acorns grow, Great streams from little foun tains flow." You see what I want, do you not? I simply want you to begin. Mrs. W. J. Gaines. The Cemetery Association. On Monday last the Cemetery ?Association held their annual meet ing for the election of officers, and the appointment of committees, Dr. Burts' resignation as president of this organization was suppled by the election of Mr. W.

Saved Life of Omaha Theatrical Manager Adam Bonoff, manager of the Krug theatre in Omaha, Neb., and living at 1511 north seventeenth street, that city, in a statement giv en for publication says: I have been a sufferer from stomach trouble for the past ten years, and had to avoid pastry, po tatoes and all starchy food. I was nervous and restless, rarely ever getting a good night's sleep. I al ways awoke with a dull pain in my stomach, and belched gas frequent ly. I was constipated all the time. "I traveled considerably in search of health, and treated with the best physicians in New York, Chicago and Hot Springs without relief, and finally was compelled to give up my business, as I thought, for good. "A friend recommended Cooper's New Discovery to me. I was desper ate, and decided to give it a trial. Am now feeling fine, eating and sleeping well, without any signs of stomach trouble, weighing more than at any other period of my life, having gained fifteen pounds in a few weeks' time. It is a duty with me to recommend Cooper's New Discovery, for I believe it saved my life." We sell Cooper's New Discovery, the medicine recommended by Mr. Bonoff. It has a remarkable record, and has a tremendous sale through out the country. We will take pleas ure in explaining its nature to you. -(Penn & Holstein.) Advertiser Contest Department Edgefield, S.
