Fairy Lake School.

Miss Leta White closed very sue
cessful term of schooiat Fairy lake on
Thursday of last week. The closing
day was spent on the shore OF the
beautiful little lake, a-la-picnic. An
excellent program of recitations and
songs was given by the pupils, and a
bountiful collation. served. About
fifty guests, relatives and friends of
the pupils, were present, making a
gathering of over seventy-five, and the
provisions went around and some We're
left over.
Miss White considers this year the
best in the history of this school,
where she has taught for several years.
The pupils with the assistance Of their
faithful teacher, have secured school
library costing thirty dollars, which is
placed in pretty bookcase, and which
the school is justly proud of. Miss
May Gallagher received a diploma
which entities her to an entrance into
any city high school without examina-
ton. Roy Coyle, Lucy Gallagher and
Edward Wicklund received certificates
in special studies and these four will
be members of the Sank Centre high
school next year. Miss Bertha Huber
who lives more than mile from the
school house, has not been absent dur
ing the whole year nor tardy moment.
This is food for thought for some OF our
city pupils.
Miss White is to be congratulated
upon her success as teacher and the
district is to be congratulated upon
having a teacher who is not afraid OF
doing things for which she receives
no pay. Very few country school
teachers spend as much time outside
their regular school duties as Miss
White does and the school therefore
is above the average OF such schools,
being taught things that are not in
the text books.

BRASS THIEVES CAUGHT
 IN THE RAILWAY YARDS
Ben Williams and Lige Howard Are Thought to Be Members
 of Band.

In the arrest of Ben Williams and Lige Howard the police believe they have a clue to a gang of thieves who have been at work in railroad yards for the last few nights. They were arrested shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning and charged by Policeman Williams with stealing brass.
 Early yesterday morning the watehman in the Central of Georgia yards diseov- cred that brass thieves had been at work but 1t Is not known whether the men in the police jail had anything to do with the robbery or not. Something like $50 worth of brass journals was stolen, or 400 pounds of brass The police and the railroad detectives are of the opinion that there might have been several thieves in the yard, or the man committing the theft had wagon.
 The Central of Georgia robbery accur- red in North Birmingham, on the North Birmingham belt track. Shortly after 12 o clock yesterday morning a watchman in the Frisco yards Ninth avenue and Twenty-second street, found a car open. Investigation showed that box of shoes had been tempered with and that two pairs of No. brogans were missing.
