The foundation of the new school
building is now complete and the
other work will be pushed as rap.
idly as possible. In the mean
time school is in active session in
the Library building on South
side Of public square, opening up
Monday with a fair enrolment;
but of course, some parents are
holding their children back to en-
ter when the new building is CON-
pleted, which cannot possibly be
ready before the first of the year.
The building now in use is amply
large enough 10 comfortably ac-
commodate $50 pupils with the
additional use Of another building,
and there is no reason why every
blushing girl and sprightly bow
in town should not be in school
right now.

The Cigarett Habit.

Mr.. Leland Hume, Assistant
General Manager of the Cumber-
land Telephone and Telegraph
Company has sent circular let
ter to managers of the company,
in which he says:
"From personal observation and
from the statements o! eminent
specialists, there seems no reason
to doubt the fact that habitual use
of cigaretts is extremely harmful,
especially where the use thereof
is contracted in early youth.
Therefore we wish to serve notice
on any employe ofyour office who
uses cigarettes that it is our wish
for him TO break himself promptly
of the habit. On any employe who
is under 81 years of age, you are
directed to serve notice that the
use of cigarettes, after August /,
will be prohibited, and you are
further instructed 10 in future re-
fuse to employ anyone who is adj
dicted to this habit" Nashville

aud legally sworn in. There were
some others here without certin-
Gates who we're also sworn in,

the redistricting law is a just one

With the approach of the fall
season there will no doubt be q
demand for houses in Savan-
nah by parties in the country &
a distance, desiring to move
here so as to take advantage of
our school. And at present, if
there is a vacant house in town
for rent we are not aware Of it.
Would it not be money well in
vested if a few of our monied
men who own vacant lots would
build thereon nice cottages to
supply the demands Of those
desiring to move here? We
think so. The rent derived,
would be q fair interest on the
money invested, and would at
tract a class Of citizenship here
that would build up and add
materially to the worth of our
town. A simple college build
ing without other inducements
to attract people here does not
ELL the bill. We need homes to
offer to those who might want
to locate here to educate their
children. VIII our people not
agitate a building boom Of this
kind!
