School is progressing nicely
though a few have stopped.
School children! Get your pen-
cils and tablets at Bounds' Drug
Store. 5tf
The school has done more to
build up the town than any other
enterprise.
I think some of us ought to study
better or our grades will get to
looking bad.
We are sorry indeed that our
friend and schoolmate, David
Martin, has quit school.
Mr. Overstreet says his pupils are
doing better work then they ever
have since school opened.
We all think Mr. Overstreet is
the only teacher for us and we hope
he will be with us next year.
It would be a pleasure to teach-
ers and pupils if the patrons would
visit the school during the regular
work.
Have you visited the school?
Do you assist the teacher by en-
couraging your children to study
and do right?
Miss Tot Mercer of La Platta
visited the Hereford High School
Monday morning. We were glad
to have her with us.
All school boys and girls of any
age are looking forward to the com-
pletion of Prof. Overstreet's house.
He is going to give us a party.
We expect our new organ in soon,
and when it comes you are invited
to come up and hear the Hereford
High School choir, which with a
little practice will be fine.
As a rule school begins to grow
dull toward the close of the term
but not so with the Hereford school
We hope to make the last two
months the most interesting of all.
Knowledge is something good to
have, if we have plenty of it,- we
can get through the world all right,
whether rich or poor, knowledge is
something no one can give, nor
take away.
The Hereford High School is the
best school on the plains. Under
the careful superintendence of Mr.
Overstreet one couldn't keep
from learning. Considering the
good schools we know that Here-
ford will make a good town.
The 8th grade arithmetic class
begun on an example the 11th of
this month and did not work
until the 17th. Mr. Overstreet
offered a prize to the first one who
would work and explain it to his
satisfaction. Claude Norton won
the prise.
You Should Inspect
Our new Stock of Dry Goods. We
now have the largest stock of Dry
Goods on the Plains and can please
the most fástidious tastes. We
also carry a complete stock of
Groceries and Provisions.

Mr. Overstreet says that if good
boys and girls always make good
orderly men and women, Hereford
may be proud of their children.
Every one who has visited the
school commented on the orderly
manner in which the boys and girls
conduct themselves.
Our principal, Mr. Overstreet, is
going to attend the Institute and
speak Friday night at Claude to the
Circulating Institute on the sub-
ject of "Evil Results of a Frequent
Change of Teachers." Also on
Saturday on the "Importance of
Teachers Attending Summer Nor-
mal." He is on program to speak
before the Texas Teachers Asso-
ciation at Vernon on the 31st on
the subject "Spirit in Teaching."

all sorry to bid them farewell.
There is some talk of reorganiz-
ing the Dimmitt Literary Society
which was given up on account of
cold weather. Let's do it, and have
a good, lively Society once more.
Mr. Wilson Harlan was in our
little town last Sunday with his
camera. He took several pic-
tures, among which was our flourish-
ing Sabbath school members who
were grouped very effectively in
front of the court house.
The young men of our town
have ordered several pairs of
roller skates. Ere long Dimmit is
to have a skating rink and its
young people are anticipating great
times. (Several of the older ones
anticipate some broken limbs.)
