EQUAL EDUCATION.

Dear Daddy JIm:-AS [ see in this
weeks jeff that you said something
about the kids writing on some other
kind of subject, I thought l would
write once more. / saw one letter in
there that took my eye; it was some
thing about the boys and girls having
an equal share of education. 1 agree
with that girl on that subject. l be-
lieve that the boy should have the
best education. for / know OF some
cases where a man did not have as
good education as his wife and he
could not make living without dig
ging in the sand for it, when if he
had had the education his wife had,
he could have made a fine living
without all that digging. 1t would
look odd for the woman to go into
some kind of business and let the
man cook and stay with the children.
But one the other hand, I do not be-
tlieve in compulsory education, for
many poor farmer would have to
go in debt several dollars more to
hire some body to help him with his
farm and to buy clothes and food to
keep his children in school, when his
children could help him just as we'll
and save all of that and then they
can go to school the idle months of
winter and spring when the man is
blowing. A good child could learn in
that time what a hard-headed child
would learn in a year. I went to
school with a boy that said he had
rather have whipping every morn
ing than to go to school, and he did
not learn any thing at ALL Well,
will close with best wishes to all.
Hope Daddy Jim will print this

Dear Daddy jim: Will you admit
another Georgia girl into your hap
py band? My Papa takes The Jeffer-
sonian and I like to read the P. G. C.
very much. Papa thinks Mr. Watson
is fine man. | am a little girl
twelve years of age and weigh 70
pounds. I have dark hair, blue eyes,
and dark complexion. I like to go to
school very much. Well, I will close
by answering and asking some rid
dies: Raymond Anderson, your first
one is a negro riding mule with
wash pot on his head. Your second
one is negro going over a bridge
with pot of water on his head.
Ethel Hardly, yours is a wheel bar
row. Edna Cline, yours is a news
paper. Jewell Goodwyne, yours is
wasps. Now, girls and boys, I am go
ing to look for the cards. Now, I
will ask one: AS I went up my GIN

blewomble; saw Tom Figum-
Fagum in this world of wigum-wag-
UNI; l called Ben Bullum-Bagum to
run Tom Figam-Fagum out of this

one that answers this riddle I will
send card.-With best wishes to

group of pleasure-seekers had the
appearance of being delighted with

the sweetest baby I ever saw. We all
thought him very cute. Cousins, sup
pose We all show our appreciation of
the space Mr.. Watson has given us in
so valuable paper by writing letters
more instructive than telling and an
sWering riddles. Our desire is to
learn soemthing more valuable. Mr..
Watson is such noble man, we
should try and follow in his foot
steps. 1 feel satisfied riddle never
was interesting to him; no, not for
one second. We all can only expect
to see the incest and most interest
ing letters in print, and if this finds
its way to the waste basket I will be
in no way disappointed, for I have
never had very much experience or
training in letter-writing. I will
come again in the near future.-With
tender feeling and the purest love.

AT a meeting of the Commercial
Club Monday evening several matters
we're discussed. The matter of clean
ing and improving the streets were
under consideration and some recon-
mendations made to the city council,
La certain quarters there has arisen a
demand for a county fair. That
question was also discussed at some
length and a committee consisting of
F. l.. Brewer, j.. H. Hall, W. II.
Warren and F. W. Wright was APP
pointed to investigate the matter. A
good county fair is an institution of
great benefit to every county, but a
fair receiving only halfhearted support
is both time and money wasted. If
the people of the county generally
want to take hold of this matter De
Smet will be glad to set the ball to
rolling. In order to establish a coun-
ty fair on a safe business basis, it is
necessary that people il every locality
of the county became interested to
the extent that they are willing to
subscribe for stock in the institution,
There is nothing that insures a con-
tinuance of enthusiasm and an active
interest in an institution of that kind
like a financial investment. Such an
investment need not be large, but il
should be of an amount sufficient to
maintain an interest in the success of
the enterprise. 1t is the business of
the committee mentioned to ascertain
how much of a demand exists for a
county fair, and how generally it will
be supported. The editor of the
INDEPENDENT would be glad to hear
from those in different parts of the
county who are interested in this pro
position,
