Mrs. Martin Simons came to her
eighty seventh birthday last Friday.
For some weeks past she has been very
feeble and is yet confined wholly to
her bed. Until recently she has had

there seems little improvement in a

again as strong as before this illness.
She has the affectionare care Of her

The Weeks Happenings in That
Thriving Little Village.

Col. w. F. Avera has just returned
from an extended trip to Fit. Valley
and the vicinity. While there he
visited the largest fruit farms in that
section and reports the largest crop
of plums and the best returns from
their shipment, also a fine crop OF
early peaches with good returns. The
crop of Elbertas is short having rotted
from too much rain. He found the
crop of cotton and corn pretty fair and
generally in good condition, He visit
ed his old school-mate and friend,
Frank Hartley, whom he had not seen
in thirty years. He found him a fruit
grower in prosperous condition and
spent a week very pleasantly with
him, eating fruit and fried chicken,
of which commodity he is very fond.
He comes back looking like ne had
been we'll fed and well groomed. Col.
Avera was raised in that section and
met many of his boyhood friends, still
he thinks Terrell county, and especial
ly that part about Parrott, the garden
spot of the south.
We learn that Col. Avera and DR..
Tilley were down in the moonshlne
district Sunday and tore up two wheels
of the buggy in which they were
riding. They claim that the road was
so narrow that they could not avoid
all the stumps, consequently the acct
dent. We have heard like excuses
before. We knew a man who had
taken too much moonshine or star
light, curse the city authorities for
putting lamp posts in the middle OF
the sidewalk. Now boys when you go
down that way again see If you can't
get up a little more plausible excuse
for your accidents.

SCHOOL CENSUS REVEALS
INTERESTING FACTS.
GRADUAL DECREASE OF WHITE CHILD
Rem OF SCHOOL AGE SHOWN.
Total Number of Children of School Age
in 1908 is 5,lS6. IIIiteracy Seems
to Be On The Decrease.

The county school census has been
com pleted by the several enumerators
appointed to do the work and their re-
ports turned in TO Commissioner Walk
inson. The compilation discloses
many facts OF interest and one or two
revelations which are somewhat start
ling in their significance.
The total number of children of
age in Terrell county as shown by the
enumerator's reports is 8, 1856, 1925 OF
whom are white and 1891, colored.
This is an increase of 80 over the
number given by the preceding GEN.
sus, which showed an increase also of
more than seventeen per cent.
One of the most significant revela-
tions of the recent census is the de-
crease of the number of white children
of school age in the county. The GEN.
sus Of 1898 showed that there were
400 white children between the ages
of ten and eighteen in Terrell county
while that of 1903 gives the number as
only 1,225, a decrease of us. On the
other hand a comparison of the two
censuses shows a large increase of
children among the negroes. The
census of 1898 numbered Bats negro
children of school age, that of 1908,
1851 an increase of 4S5.
The census shows illiteracy to be
greatly on the decrease in the county.
In 1898 there were 81 white children
who could neither read or write. This
year there are only eighteen. The
colored children who could not read or
write in 1898 mum bered LAO, in 1903,
sos. There are 208 children who have
never attended school, the majority
of whom are colored.
