BOYS CORN CLUB; GIRLS
DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLUB
Have Successful Day. Fine Catherine
of Lee County School Children
Compete for Prizes.

| On Saturday at 10 o'clock the boy.
and girls of the public schools of tn,
county who had been early in the year
organized into ''Boys Corn Club" ant
and a girls Domestic Science club
met at the court house and brought
with them the entries as contestants
for the prizes offered in the respective
| clubs. The ardor of youth was mani
fest among them all and each showed
plainly that unless they won they would
be disappointed. While all could not
and did not get prizes all were satisfied
with the awards and went home deter
mined to be among the winners next
year. The result of the work done by
the pupils, both boys and girls, shows
hat can be done when a spirit of friend
ly rlvally is aroused. The exhibits
were most creditable and we believe
that the result of the organization of
these clubs will be of lasting benefit to
the families of the children, and through
them will exert a good influence over
the entire country.
