red and yellow on the grass and rustle
crisply under the foot of the passers
by. All summer it has been grass. It!
grew in a night. It required constant
cutting. Now it is leaves which re-

Programme Rendered by
Different Schools,
Centre Hall was the centre of attrac-
tion for a great many people last Fri- |
day, all interested in the celebration
of the 400th anniversary of the discov- |
ery of America. A fine program |
propriate for the occasion was prepared |
and was beautifully rendered by the |
different schools of our town,
At L115 p. m. the Veterans and chil- |
dren of the schools formed in line in
the school grounds. After a drill by

children passed, giving a military sa-
lute to the flag as they passed under, |
repeating distinctly, “I pledge allegi- |
ance tomy flag and the republic for |
which it stands; one nation indivisi- |
{ ble, with liberty and justice for all.” |
| Rev. W. E. Fischer then delivered an

The recent drought has caused the
waters to be so low in some streams
that the babks of the fish stick out
above water. Some streams are so dry
that when the fish move about it
raises a dust in the bed of the stream,
and bull frogs holler for “more-rum.’’
