indigestion and insomnia during the

Fitzgerald Wipes I'm Up.

The Fitzgerald Sluggers met
the Ocilla Juniors on the 1atters'
diamond last Saturday, and after
habit that the Fitzgerald boys
have fallen into, proceeded to
knock the Juniors into the middle
OF the dim and misty future.
There was furry of bats, and
a whlz of balls, and the score
board showed something that
looked like 10 to3 for Fitzger-
ald." The Juniors howled, but
was no use; they we're awful1y
done up, and they will get s1ugg-
ed again if they run up against
the "sluggers."
The regular Nine" from here
played Ocilla at home yesterday,
and won flattering victory,
though the score in their favor
was not so heavy as the one
made by the kids" The
guitar that went along furnished
fair share of the entertainment
enroute, and the fact that it was
as much in evidence on the re-
turn trip as on the way out is
speaking we'll for the ''spirits''
of the boys.

the discussion, naming the per-
lods, but he seemed a little
trumped when asked to name
the period that we live in at pres
ent. Miss Shafer helped him
out of the diff Guilty by adding,
Decentralization" The other
subdivisions of the subject, con-
nection between history and
geography, facts that may be
emphasized and those that may
be omitted were quickly
disposed of.
Second subject, opening exer-
cises. The danger of opening
with devotional exercises was
vigorously discussed. Some de.
clared that such would be de-
trimental in school. But Mr..
Weaver, our County Commits
sioner, took bold stand, advis-
ing the teachers, each morning
to read chapter and repeat the
Lords Prayer.
The critics report was then
read, and the critic made the
suggestion that thereafter men
be appointed to that Office as
ladies are already close enough
observers.
The question of spelling bee
with the town people on Wednes-
day night was raised, but was
finally deferred till the morning
session.
At 430 o'clock the Institute
was declared adjourned until
500 O'Clock Wednesday morning.
WEDNESDAY JUNE IS.
At 8 o'clock the Institute was
called to order by the chairman.
After roll call the minutes of the
previous day we're read and
approved. There being no other
business on hand, work upon the
program began.
Arithmetic was the first sub
1ect treated. Practical lessons
in Long Division, Common Frac-
tons and Decimal Fractions
were given by Miss Dena Hood,
Mr.. T. L. Johnson and Mr.. F.
B. Mccullough, respectively.
Test work in the writing of
Decimals was next given. Gram
mar was the second subject dis
posed of. The comparison OF
adjectives consumed consider
able time. Possessive p1urals
and also proper and common
nouns that are hard to distin-
guish were dealt with.
Recess, 1920 to 1870. Read
ing was the first subject after
recess. Miss Clara Scherret
talked on the advisability of
teaching the Alphabet. Miss
Julia Bethel gave her methods of
leading children from the eye
voca bulary into the requirement
of an ear vocabulary.
Board work was recommended
for beginners, the chart being
second preference. Next on
the program was Arithmetic, the
time being spent principally
upon the solution of difficult
problems.
A general quiz in Geography
followed the work in Arithmetic.
Forenoon session closed at
11;35,
AT 200 p. m. work was re-
sumed.
Physiology being the first sub
ject for discussion, a general
