The teachers will be In their respective
rooms at o $50 next Friday morning, for
the purpose of giving examination to
new students and to those who for any
reason did not receive their promotion
cards at the close of last session. If these
pupils do not report for these examina-
lions, they will be required to remain
in the same grades for another year.
The enrolment for the schools is ex-
peeted to be much larger this session than
1t has ever been. The population of Wood

that 1t has been difficult to keep the
school facilities in reach Of all the chill

more attractive than they have been.

make displays themselves but that they
will urge their neighbors to do the same
The premiums in the agricultural de-
partment are exceedingly liberal, and the
rules governing exhibits this year will ap-
peal strongly to the farmers, as for the
first time no entrance fee will be charged
and neither will there be any stall or
pen rent, either on agricultural exhibits
or live stock exhibits.
A number of cattle raisers of Alabama,
as well as Mississippi, Tennessee and
other states, have written that they would
