It is a great pleasure to "ye *
scribe" to mention that he is recu- 1
perating from his recent attack of 1
illness, and he hopes erelong to be 1
able to sanction the expression of 1
the editor in last week's issue, that i
"Richard (B W) is himself again." 1
As the weather changes so often *
these days, from hot to cold, wet *
to dry, sunshine to rain, bad to *
worse, and vice versa, and as that is *
the kind that keeps the "White Oak f
weather bureau" guessing, it is not
an easy matter to get reliable infor- 4
mation as to weather forecasts ex- ^
cept for a very short while,from the J
manager of this bureau, so it will be 1
a wise idea to always take your over
coat and umbrella along. 1
Mr and Mrs R L McElveen of ^
Cades visited here Sunday afternoon. 1
The White Oak school is progress- '
ing very favorably now, and the capable
young teacher, Miss Pauline 1
Cantey, has so many pupils that she (
is kept very busy during her hours 5
of duty. From local observation it '
would seem that compulsory educa- (
tion would be an unnecessary argu- 1
ment. 1
Mr John H Baker, the saw-mill 1
man of Central, has returned and is 1
now "on the job" at the lever, after ^
several weeks' recreation at his '
home. B W M. <
