BRONWOOD BRIEFS

We have waited anxiously TO learn
what the board of trustees of our
school were doing about teachers for
the ensuing year. The chairman of
the board has at last announced the
names of those who will be in
charge, and we feel certain we can
rest easy with such a corps of COM
petent teachers. Prof. Marvin w.
Smith of Miner, Ga, our efficient
principal of last year, whom we all
know, will again be principal and
will have charge of the eighth, ninth
and a part of the seventh grades.
Miss Fannie Mcguire of DahlOnega,
after the names and accomplish
ments of many applicants had been
considered, has been chosen for the
fifth, sixth and a part of the seventh
grades. Miss Maude Stroud of Thorn
aston comes highly recommended to
take charge of the third and fourth
grades, while Mrs. J. r. Davis, with
whom we are all acquainted and
whose ability as a teacher we all
know, will look after the primary de-
partment. With the new school
building completed and furnished
throughout with the best single
desks Obtainable we feel certain Prof.
Smith, with his assistants, have in
store for the people of Bronwood an
unusually prosperous year in school
work. For several years it has been
thought advisable to add another
grade to the school, and in all prob
ability Prof Smith will take this step
this season. The largest attendance
in the history of the school is eX-
pected to report on the first Monday
of next month with admission cards
and ready for study.
Mr.. E. Kersey arrived Monday
morning after an absence of about
Is days on a prospecting trip to
elated over the promising outlook

looks all of ten years younger, and
we are afraid we will lose a good
citizen, if we don't look out.
Mrs. Lillian Jones of Butler is
here to look after the musical talent
of our school this year. Mrs. Jones

will be enabled to get a good class.
