the scoreboard from time to time.
But owing to the vaccination of two
members of the team, the other three
could not win all by themselves so
when the final count was taken the
score was found to be 25 to 57.
The willingness to meet with the
opponents was shown in the Lexing-
ton second team game with Washing-
ton which was won by the home
team by a score of 16 to 6. Poor goal
shooting featured the contest. Some
excellent team work was displayed.
Mr. Jones grade school team won
from Alamo in a spirited game, but
lacked interest, owing to the inex-
perience of the players. Score 16
to 13.
The seniors are almost ready to
say well done, having ordered their
commencement announcements, and
the school board has turned in the or-
der for the diplomas.
The following was found among
the freshmen English papers the other
day, "A Girl's Essay on Boys."
Boys are men that have not got as
big as their papas, and girls are wo-
men that will be ladies by and by.
Man was made before woman. When
God looked at Adam he said to him-
self, "Well I think I could do better
if I tried again, and he made Eve.
God liked Eve so much better than he
did Adam that there has been more
women than men. Boys are a trouble
they wear out everything but soap.

Although the physicians have not

probably had as tnanv friends as any
man in Norman. He was a steward
in the Methodist Episcopal church
of Norman, and always took ati act-
ive part in church work. He believ-
ed iti hish moral standards and ?l-
ways took a bold stand for what ho
thought was right.
Mr. liardie was considered par-
ticularly active for one of his age,
and possessed of remarkable vitality,
but a week ago became ill and grad-
ually grew worse until the fina-1 sum
mons came Thursday morning. He
was conscious up until a few hours
before he died. The end came peace-
fully.
Minister's Remarks
Rev. C. D. Meade chose for a text
1 Cor. 5:1, "We have a building of
God, an house not made with hands,
'eternal in the heavens."
In substance the minister said:
"From the timc«of his emigration
from Scotland to America he has
been known as a builder, he was a
builder of property, a builder of
business, and a builder of morals.
"Some of the material that went
into the building of this man's life
might be given:
"First, he had a strict regard for
ail things that are honorable and
just. He was a keeper of the law
and not an evader, honest and vir-
tuous.
"Second, he maintained an altruis-
tic attitude towards all ipublic im-
provements and community welfare.
"Third, he had a deep-rooted love
tor his lion1*, foi his wife and for
his children. The safety of American
life has always Iain in the mainten-
ance of the home.
"Fourth, there was a spiritual de-
votion to God and to his church.
The best interests of the church
were for him things of great con-
cern.
"No more will echo the voice of
John Hardic, yet the spirit of the
man will live on. Others must take
his place, others must carry on the
work that he has laid down."

Wanted
A Destructive Fire
WoH was received from Maysville
Wednesday stating that Mr. George
Merritt of that place had quite a de-
structive fire, burning their barn to
the ground on Tuesday night, Janu-
ary 17, also destroying the entire
croy they had made last year- consist-
ing of about 2.5 bales of cotton, 100
bales of hay, 500 bushels of corn, two
tons of peanuts, several bushels of
oats and broom corn and the fixtures
of the barn. It also burned up about
30 bales of cotton for one of the
neighbors who had his cotton stored
in the Merritt bam. They seem to
think that the fire was of incendiary
origin, but some fiave suggested that
it might have caught from someone
going into the barn to get peanuts.
They carried no insurance and the
loss was total.
Mr. J. J. Brown of Valley Grove
was in town Tuesday.
Wanted Washings, 30c per dozen
furnished and 25c per dozen unfur-
n shed.—Mrs. Redwine.
