BLACKWELL Opposite Post Office A Wish "I HAVE TAKEN Cardui for run-down, worn-out condition, nervousness and sleeplessness, and I was we*k too," says Mrs. Silvie Estes, of Jennings, Okla. "Cardul did me just lots of good-so much that I gave it to my daughter. She complained of a soreness in her sides and back. She took three bottles of Cardui and -her condition was much better. "We have lived here, near Jennings, for 26 years, and now we have our own home in town. I have had to work pretty hard, as this country wasn't built up, and it made it hard on us. "I WISH I could tell weak women of Cardul-the medicine that helped give me the strength to go on and do my work." This card fulfils her wish.

Fac es brightened as they entered the beau tiful building, so neatly and complete ly finished, and all so artistically dec orated for this glad occasion. The stars and stripes waved over us, and pot plants and chrysantheniuns en hanced the charm of the' place. The blackboards were especially attractive, decked in Thanksgiving designs, fruits, and pumpkins and turkeys that almost said "gobble! gobble!4 This entire work was the free-hand draw ing of one of the gifted puils, Aliene Stewart. The exercises were conducted by Rev. I. N. Kennedy, whom we all know and love. Tie began with praye-. Then told us his part on the programin was Just to "crank up". 'But soon the "self-starter" worked like magic and we found ourselves sailing along with hiin, 'wondering at the progressive age in which we live, admiring our new school house anew, and feeling justly proud of it. On and on he carried us, until with the mental eye we saw our second mile stone,-a good top-soil road through this community leading to our school Bye and bye he led us to the third mile-stone,-the time when most of the Central boys and girls will be sent to college Would that these two mile-stones soon be attaiied! During the evening the schaol chil dren sang patriotic songs, "Amer ica, the Beautiful," "South Carolina," and "A patriotic Medley." This clear, Eweet, animated singing must have re joiced the heart of every mother and father ,)resent, and certainly shed glory upon their teachers who had so skillfully trained them. '1r. (Italph Wilson, our superintend ent of education, was the second speaker. if we followed him closely, we must all have carried home that night hearts, grateful for our -public schools and democratic government, and grateful above all for our Chris tian homes, in which rests the ark of the covenant of the safety of .the peo ple. And I am sure we all left, deter mined to be a "booster" and not a "knocker". Among the many splendid things -Mr. Wilson told us, there were two strik ing needs of the day 'which especially appealed to the writer. These were: first, the need of medical examinations in every school, and second, the dis tressing need of longer terms in the country schools. We hope out' school will, ore long, attain each of these goals. The dedication reached its zenith in the speech of Mr. A. C. Todd, the lawyer, emohloyed in floating the bonds. 'He gave us much food for thought. Let us make the best use of it. Ile ex pounded to us the fundamental fact, that a structure is sure to fall unless built upon a deep, solid foundation. tMr. Todd also taught us that the soul of man is the greatest undeveloped power in Ithe Universe and religion is the principal thing. Over and beyond the teaching of algebra, and dead his tory, etc., good as they are, we saw that the main object of the school is to prepare the pupils to be good, all round, law-abiding citizens. Immediately after the exercises the speatKers were ushered into an ante room wvhere light refreshments were served iby members of the Ladies' School Improvement assocration. We a:'preciate the thoughtfulness of those 'who planned and lperpetuatedl this "pel)," "get-together" meeting. But above all we appr'eciate .the sincere kindness and the genial Interest nmani fested by Messrs, Kennedy, Wilson and Todd. They came regardless of in clement weather. Their speeches were entertaining, instructive -and inspir ing, For' Central thtis truly was a "red letter" night. "On Central, dear', 0 Central, near, God shed 'Ils grace on you, And crown thy good with brotherhood, Most loyal and most true.''
