From Our Friends
Abolene

A joint debate will be held at Melvin Hill school house next
Saturday night. Green river and Melvin Hill. Subject: “Resolved that a league
of nations should be formed, and that the United States should join it.”
Green River school is progressing nicely with a good

children. But we are proud that the parents are making the sacrifice.
