I am informed that Hugh Elliott, a
son of Joe Elliott, once a deputy sher
iff of this county under W. H. Rollins,
is dead. He died in Arkansas about
three weeks ago. He was a fine young
man, just in the bloom of life. His
father made one of the best officers
the county ever had.
Old Hughey will meet the old boys
in Hernando on the 26, if nothing
larger than a shoestring breaks.

It has been too cold the past week
for the buffalo gnats to do any harm.
They are only waiting for the weather
to turn warm and then they will put
in their work. Keep your grease pots
in the field and be ready.

Which Will You Take?
Young man, young woman, the
world offers you three positions, one
at $4 to $5 a week, one at $9 and an
other at from $25* to $40 per week.
The first is the untrained mind that
must do the hard work, the second is
after the young man or woman has
been lead to believe they can draw
the pay of skilled minds, but find
when too late they have been duped
by unscrupulous promises. But when
the young man or woman completes
shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping
and the other studies that go with
the above in our college, the $25 to $40
a week is the average pay. Which
will you take, the $4, $5, $9, or the $25
to $40 a week? Write to us about it.
