The School law compels me to hold annually a School Boards' Convention and also a Plan Meeting for Teachers. It may not seem expedient to hold these two gatherings together, but past experience has taught me that they can work admirably together when all come with their probleras foremost in their minds and with a spirit of helpfulness in their hearts.

As many sehools wish to start in early August and as the third teachers' examination will be held the last of the first week of August, therefore, am announcing the And and 3rd days of August, 1922, as the two days on which the annual meeting of School Boards and Teachers will be held for Texas county. Many problems confront the many school boards, and. the Course of Study that we will use the coming term will be thoroughly gone over so that all may be working in concert to the betterment and upbuilding of the cause of education.

While on her way horne from church last Sunday night, one of our best known young ladies, member of one of our town's best families, was accosted by some scoundrel as she passed along a dark place in the street, and threatened with death it she gave an alarm. The girl ran and was pursued by the fellow until they came to a lighter place when he ran on away. Parties heard the girl tell the fellow to go away and leave her alone, but the alarm was not given until it was too late for the fellow to get what was coming to him.

There are entirely too many lazy, shiftless fellows about town and they are certain to be in some meanness, however this is the first time a young lady has been openly insulted and if the identity of the scamp is found out he had better hike to the tall timber. G. E. WHEELER APPOINTED. G.
