Stop! Look! Listen! Look at our school house; painted a color that greets you far and near. Listen for the bell that calls every child in the district and (I won’t tell the rest which will happen in a few days) something every school ought to have, and we will pretty soon be one of the few public schools in Polk county that owns it. Perhaps you will find out next issue.
MILL SPRING
We gladly welcome the bright sunshine once more.
Every body is talking new roads these days. We are proud over the out look of course.
The leading citizens of Mill spring have organized a Law and Order Society. Those who are for prohibition come and join. We want to clean up our community and stop the whiskey dealers.

We are so glad to report that we are having a good school this year under the wise supervision of our teaching force. Improvements are being made on the ball ground. Just wait ‘til we get our new school building, then watch us.
Of course last Sunday was a blue day, but let’s make our Sundays bright be attending Sunday school, whether we have preaching services or not. You will hear interesting talks made by the leading Sunday school workers.
Let’s each one remember Thanksgiving Day. What have we to be thankful for? Stop and think.
FISHTOP
We have had summer weather the past week instead of winter, as all had predicted. Only two frosts this fall.
Misses Evelyn and Estelle Pace and Emma Newman returned home last week from school to spend Thanksgiving.
It has been so long since my items have gotten space in the News, I think to change and give some of the unusual if not very rare things this week.
First, Lewis Bradley has a sow which gave birth to 16 nice pigs a few days back, and Joseph Price’s dog gave birth to 17 pups some years back. A Henderson county man says he had a cow to go crazy one night and next morning she had bitten off some eight to 10 inches of her tail and was in her right mind.
Miss Flora Bradley has grown a chicken that stands erect and walks like a “dodo.”
We have had an unusual lot of fish, game animals and quail this season, with an equal amount of fishermen and hunters from different parts who fish and hunt without permission; and some of them disregard the Sabbath and take fish from the trap and corn from the field, which is not so unusual, but the unusual part is they actually got caught in the act.
If the weather permits there will be preaching at Mountain Valley church on Thanskgiving by Elder Sherfey, also singing; and that will be an unusual occurrence here, as there are aged people here who have never heard a Thanksgiving sermon.
Although the weather was unfavorable, T.W. Bradley sang for the Silver Creek folks Sunday.
TRYON ROUTE 1
By the time we read this, probably Thanksgiving day will be over. Hope our thoughts were of things other than turkey and mince pie and amusements. Our great fault should be the feast of love and righteousness and when every heart should be raised to the Father on high, for there are none of us but what have something to be thankful for. Let us remember our Pilgrim fathers and not lose sight the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
Mr. James Page’s baby fell in the fire and was badly burned, but not seriously, we hope.
Glad to report Butler Champion much better of pneumonia.
Tom Rice and wife were on the route looking after their home and things. Charlie Pardon will move into their residence shortly.
Fox Mountain school children enjoyed a “stunt” afternoon Friday last.
We are thankful for a few correspondents, but would be more thankful if correspondents would gather news from each vicinity. Just think how interesting our county news would be.
