JAMES CITY BOARD'
BOYS' CORN
AT ITS MEETING MONDAY
$200 FOR DEMON
The James City county board ot:
supervisors vs cot voing to take a |
backward step in the matter of Boys'
Com Club tod demonstration work
?nd showed its determination to
make the work a success so far as
the board is concerned. Thc board
make another appropriation of $200
for the purpose mentioned on request
of Mr. F. S. Farrar, the able district
demonstrator, to whose indefatigable
energy the state owes a debt of
gratitude. James City has come
up to the rack for two years, but the
boys failed to get a square deal in
the weathei line. Both years were
dry. the past year seeing the worst
drouth ever known here. If thc
weather failed, the board did no
and for this they deserve commcuua
tion.
Mr. Farrar has all the Peninsul;
counties in his district. It is to b
hoped York. Warwick. New Ken
and Charles City will be found in th
ranks next >ear. They will find :
the best money they .ever spent, i
they can secure the services of
competert countv demonstratoi
James City haa an experienced ma:
as has also York. If tbe season
propriatious next year, look out fr.
the Peninsula at the stat* fair.
Tbe board Monday failed to pa;
an order closing the bunting seasc
nsw. The reason given by tl
chairman was that it would be unfa
to the county man to close the se
son at a time whan he can have
few days' sport. "If there wi
some way to keep you city fellow
from coming out and killing all o
birds, we would do it. but since t
cannot we will not close the season
was the way Chairman Vaiden p

The board also practically decid
to do away with the contract systc
in Jamestown and adopt the couti
system of improving and repairi
the roads. The plan now is for t
county to buy six mules and ea
district a pair, making-twelve in i
to do thc work. The only thi
that will prevent, the consummati
of this plan will be lack of mom
The annual meeting and settle m
with the treasurer will be held I
first Monday in January when, i
is found there .are available fun
steps will be taken to adopt
county system.
All thc members of the bo
were on hand Monday. Ami
others who attended were She

My Desi Young Friends:

world's sctivitie.
With me to think was to act. soc
with your esteem-d principal s<
"guide, philosopher aod friend."
snd accompanied by Mri. Psvcy. .
fermer well-known New England
tescher, I gladly seized upon th*
few remaining moments o* my stsy
in your picturesque city to visit you
As I looked into your alert, happy
fsces. and thought of so mam
things I wanted to tell you. my mo \
profound regret was. snd is. Ibu
the inexorable arbiter known as timr
said nay. "It's hail and farewell"
this time. What I wsnted to tel
you Isst Wednesdsy I shall tell yot
by proxy, assuming that, for oner
st all events. Mr. Young will waivi
a all objections toward serving as mid

But. tbe last act of my Wiliiamsbur
visit, that ot seeing you at yoi
school work, will ever bea most di
lightful memory. In devoting tb
two mir utes given me for jov til
to you. and using most of the san
in telling a more or less amusic
anecdote of my wrestling with

not make a profoundly happy ii
pressioo upon the student-body,
this bc so I will endeavor in tb
special message to make amp
amends.
In going through the differe
rooms I had a fine opportunity
seeing you actually at work, and s
on parade, and I assure you. c
dear young friends, that the exa
lenee of your work in general i
pealed to mc irresistibly. And 11
glad to note. also, the happy rt
tions existing between teacher i

which you have been so liberi

dear faraway young friends, t
next to parents and pastor j

more and more and I feel it a dt
as well as pleasure, to urge upon
the importance of kinship?a pi

with your loyal and seif-sacrifk
j teschers. Cooperate heartily i
