SCHOOL AT LESLIE TO
BEGIN THE FALL TERM
Opens Today With a Large
Attendance.

Citizens of Leslie in Americus yes
terday stated that the Leslie High
School, among the largest and best
in the county, would open today
for the fall session and under very
hattering auspices. The growth of
the school has rendered necessary the
enlargement of the building, and
additions have been made at cost
of several thousand dollars. AS the
result, Leslie has a modern school
building, capable of meeting the edu-
cational needs of that community for
many years 1t is expected that the
enrolment of pupils will exceed one
hundred within few days, when
all prospective scholars have applied
for admission. Prof Blackman is in
charge of the Leslie school, assisted
by Miss Bacon and Miss Tinsley.

REV. BIVINS Is CALLED
AGAIN BY HIS CHURCH
Will Continue His Useful
ness Here.

At the conclusion of the morning
service at Furlow Lawn Baptist
church on Sunday a formal recall of
the pastor Rev Robert Z. Bivins,
vas extended by the church body
together with very substantial in
crease in salary
Mr.. Bivins will undoubtedly con-
tinue his connection with the church,
probably giving formal notice to that
effect next Sabbath, or very soon
thereafter
That he is to remain in Americus
is a subject of congratulation with
the church and general public among
whom he is highly esteemed.
1t is the rule of this church that
the pastorate terminate annually in
stead of being continuous, as with
other churches, and for eleven years
consecutively Mr. Bivins has been
recalled unanimously at the termina-
ton of each years work
This genial christian gentleman is
the first and only pastor who has
ever served Furlow Lawn church.
When the building was completed he
filled the pulpit there, and has since
remained its pastor.
He has watched over and aided in
its growth and development into one
of the strongest congregations in
Americus and south Georgia.
Frequently he has received urgent
calls to the service of other churches,
but his great love for his first charge
and for the people of Americus, among
whom he is so generally loved and es-
teemed, impels him to continue his
work here
The fact that Mr. Bivins will CON
tinue with his church will be a mat
ter of general congratulatiOn.

The Moultrie chapter Daughters of
the Confederacy held meeting re-

The careless handling of a shot
gun caused the death of little ne
gro girl on the Summerford planta-

A bunch of the young blackbirds were
at play in the yard of a cabin on
the farm when one of them, boy of

And then the usual thing happened.
The gun was fired, presumably by
accident, the load striking five

The night grew calmer. The wind
died down and the clouds drifted
away. Under the cottonwood hot drops
trickled into the mesquite for a while,
then there came A long, quivering sigh
of spent grief and exhaustion; then,
shortly, another. Presently the reg
ular breathing of three sturdy pairs Of
lungs mingled with the sound of the
cottonwood, which had died away to a
faint, soft rustic.

lift in his wagon. He had told them
that by crossing a certain pasture they
could lessen their journey appreciably.
They had advanced within it's fast

creature with an aggressive manner
appeared over a hill and started for
them. 1t was not a microbe, but its
species had its place in the hygienic
precepts of Private Bills mother. and

His superiors obligingly followed. This
delayed them two miles distance.
At turn of the road the three prod
igals parted. The smallest turned
tearfully in toward blue cottage: an
other, the erstwhile aide-de-camp,
sneakingly toward a brow. And short
ly in each house a woman was weeping
endearingly into head of tangled tow
thatch, and a laughing, but relieved
looking man stood awkwardly by and
completed the tableau of reunion.

the back door OF a white house further

A minute later, with an air of

municipal primaries held in that city

than that.-Hattiesburg News.
Wen, let Hattiesburg get busy, and
get out of the Jackson competition.
We will welcome her to the higher
class whenever she presents her Gre

showed that there were more than l..
100 otherwise qualified white voters in
Meridian who were DISTINGUISHED for
non-payment of poll tax; that list has
not been diminished by hard times and
the registration books of the city show
even a greater number of voters VINO
