To the Teachers and Patrons of
the Lee County School.

You will please take notice that the
next meeting of the State Teachers AS
sociation will be. held at Natchez on
April 10Th, to May 1st, 1909.
One topic on the program is to be a
Spelling contest. in which any school,
college, or county may enter team OF
five. Each contestant, of course,
being of school age and pupil of some
school of the state
A gold medal will be awarded to the
best Individual speller, while an engrav-
ed certificate will go to the school,
college, or county, whose team Of five
contestants makes the highest record.
Now 1t seems to me the teachers and
patrons of the schools OF this, ,courty
should all work together for the pur-
pose OF securing the team OF the five
best spoilers to be found among the
boys and girls OF the schools of Lee
county, to represent US in the State
contest.
Both counties and state contests will
be based on words taken from the
adopted speller of the state.
In order to put this opportunity within
the reach of every boy or girl of the
county, and make the trip to Natchez
possible. | have thought Of a plan,
which would, if successfully worked
defray all of the expenses OF the team
and, thereby, make the trip for each of
them free.
The plan is this: let US have county
contest about the last of March, in
which let each school of the county en-
ter a team of five, provided each school
so doing willpay. say $500
bn Of hg,, x-E
being to selecta team to represent US
in the state contest and also, to secure
funds to pay the expenses of same.
This team, Of course, being chosen
from the five highest on tie list of
county contestants
Now 1t seems to me that if nothing
more is gained by the project, that the
interest and enthusiasm coupled with
the pleasure that we may find in it,
would be enough pay to induce almost
every school of the county to enter this
contest. Andi if as many as twenty-five
schools would agree to go into the work
this would raise the sum of $100. 90, an
amount sufficient to pay the chosen
teams expenses to Natchez.
Teacher, patrons, boys, and girls don't
you want to help us work up this matter.
Boys and girls, wouldn't you like to go
to Natchez and take the steamboat
rides on the Father of Waters" and
free rides on. the electric railway lines
to many of the towns in that section of
the state. If so, let US all work togeth-
er and have a county contest in March
and the trip is yours.
In conclusion, will say that if anyone
will suggest a better plan let US have
it, but by all means let us have team
from Lee county in the spelling contest
at Natchez. .
Respectfully,
TIM. MILAN.

 recital was given at the Methodist church Tuesday evening by c. A. Shell don, organist at Trinity church. Allan ta. A magnificent organ has just been put in this church and it was to enjoy the pleasure of hearing it for the first time played by master hand that young MT. Sheldon was sent for. His playing was no disappointment to the immense audience. The programme was well se- leeted. Greensboro claims MT. Sheldon. as his father was reared here and is proud of his artistic skill.
 The news of Maj. John G. Harris death was received with profound regret in Greensboro, where he had many warm friends. Since his election as associate railroad commissioner he had made his home at Evans eight miles from Greens boro.
 Cad Erwin, formerly of Selma, who came to Greensboro to take charge of the electric light plant and the water works, took formal charge today. MT. Erwin is old Greensboro boy and his friends are glad to have him make his home here again.
 A humane society formed in Greensboro this week in which much in- terest is being manifested. Miss Mary Pickens is at the head of the movement and will see that it is a success.

SELMA MAY ENTER
 COTTON STATES

Selma. July S.-(Special) Selma may yet have baseball this season, and, al though only 30. days of the. time re- mains, the proposition Is looked upon fayorably. as it will insure the national game next season. One of the cities of the Cotton States league has found the proposition unprofitable, and the fran chise Is offered Selma at very reason able price. Selma was in the original Southern league, and fair crowds, con sidering the population, attended the games. Even now amateur games at tract large crowds, and if the city se- cures the franchise in the Cotton States league it is believed that, with any thing like fair baseball, there will be large crowds In attendance.

 Cincinnatfs effort to acquire Robin son at the present time failed, as did the efforts of Boston, Philadelphia and Cleveland.
