VAN WYCK ITEMS.

Fine rains have fallen, which
has hroght the cotton to good
stands. Crops are growing and
our farmers are wearing smiles.
The patrons and trustees of
school District No. 5, Van Nyck,
met last Tuesday for the purposes
OF electing a teacher forVanWyck
school, determining his salary
and length of term. Prof. Il. II.
Thompson, who has successfully
managed the school the two past
terms, was unanimously elected
teacher at salary of $35 per
month for term of ten months.
Van Wyck school has bright
future before it. 1t is located in
very healthy community, sur
rounded with good moral chris
tian atmosphere and influences. 1t
is first class school where board
and tuition can be obtained cheap.
Anyone looking for a school of this
kind, Van Wyck is the place and
their patronage will be welcomed.
On last Thursday, Messrs. j.

this monument with the beautiful
and impressive ceremony of the
w. o. w. order IN the near fu-

Georgia granite Is good, but
we believe we have granite equal

needed to bring it to notice and
use, is to have our quarries de-
veloped.
