Martindale Items.School started Monday, September 9th, with O.H. Swingle as teacher. Mr. Dearing, from Missouri, has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Fred King, the past week. The management of the Martindale store has decided not to discontinue business at that place. J.B. Shackelford, of Des Moines, Iowa, who visited his son, J. Erastus Shackelford, for a couple of weeks, left for home this week. A "Harvest Home" dance will be given in the Martindale opera house Saturday evening, September 21st. The best of music and a grand time assured. Government surveyors are camped between here and the Spade, and the indications are that they will finish the work that Mr. Farnsworth started last fall. Monday morning when school started it was raining and some thought that it would be very doubtful if the teacher would come. But he arrived, having faced the terrific storm, and made it in promptly at 8:30 a.m. So elated were the multitude that our poet could not refrain from dashing off the following: Some teachers may sit by the fire and strike the black cat with a cane, but our teacher merrily hitches up, and drives boldly out in the rain. September 12, 1912. Grant County Tribune 24(21): 4. |
