The Happenings In and Around the North
Terrell Town Interestingly Told.
PARROT, Aug. THE coming seS>
sion of the ParrOtt High School gives
promise of being the most successful in
the history of the institution. Already
a goodly number of pupils from adjacent
communities have signifed their inten-
ton of boarding in and near town and
attending school, while larger Der
of pupils from surrounding territory will
attend than ever before. The school
building is being put in thorough repair,
and when school opens it will be found
to be one Of the most comfortable in
southwest Georgia.
Our citizens are pleased to learn that
the Racket Store will not be moved to
Richland this fall, as was reported some
time ago. Clever Jim Williams, the
manager, IS one ofs our best and most
popular citizens, and his removal would
have been a loss to our community.
We learn that the Misses Fletcher,
daughters of Mr.. Gus Fletcher of Web
ster county, will open a millinery estab-
lishment IN Parrot the latter part of
this month. Such a business is needed
here, and we bespeak for them liberal
patronage.
MIR. Lee is making some repairs about
his gin and will be ready for business
this fall. With two gins in town farm
ers need not hesitate about bringing
their cotton here to be gnned, as they
will be able to get it done promptly and
satisfactorily.
We understand that our merchants
will enable them to comOete with the
Plains in the purchase of cotton this
fall. We hope our farmers will investi-
gate before promising their cotton to the
Plains.

ton in Parrott last fall, was here last
week. His many friends will regret to
learn that he will not be with us this
fall. Mr.. Owens has an excellent posi-
ton with a music house
The Parrot Gin Co.'S. new outfit is
about ready for business. 1t is one of

ing his father, Mr. E. B. SandifOrd. He
came home on account of sickness, but
we are glad to state that he is again able
10 be up.

Parrott this fall is greater than the sup
