AN AMBITIOUS young man once asked the late E H. Harriman how to be successful. “Well, I’d take $5,000—, began Mr. Harriman. "But I haven’t auy money”, interrupted the young man. “Haven’t *5,000? Then go out and save it, young man, save it.” Young man, you must build your own fortune from the money you don’t spend. The rule is so universal that exceptions don’t count. Come to the Pank of Cheyenne W ells, even though you have only ONE DOLLAR—this will start an ac count for you.

These branches will have very little effect on the attendance at the Central building in Cheyenne Wells. So far as is known none of them will take any pupils from the Central school except Arapahoe, and that but very few, about five. It seems that the •Arapahoe school will have an enroll ment of about vwenty-seven, Kit Curson about forty, First View about ten and Wild Horse about sixteen. Arapahoe and Kit Carson having calls for the first three years of High School work and the other two having only one teacher for the first years work. If all the pupils come to the Central building that should come, there will be a Freshman class this year of about twenty-five or thirty at this place. It is expected.that a 1 the branches will be opened on Tuesday, ,the fit!) day of September, at their respective school houses, but the Central school at Cheyenne Wells cannot open until the new building can be occupied, which we think will be about the lilth of September and hence that date is the probable date of ojieningof school here in the County Seut. However, all students should watch the papers for further announcements. It seems as though a rooming de partment at Cheyenne Wells, under the management of the High School cannot be run tills year owing to the fact that uo building seems available, hence it will t»e necessary for the pupils to find rooms with the people of the town as was largely done last year. If those able to accommodate pupils in this way will report the in formation and price to me it will great ly assist the pupils. The High School is working to secure board at very moderate rates to the pupils. Furth er announcement of this will be made at a later date. W. E. Graves, Principal.
