MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

II you'n make up your mind to be
Contented with your lot
And with the optimists agree
That troubles soon forgot,
You'll be surprised to fnd. I guess.
Despite mistortune's darts.
What constant springs of happiness
Lie hid in human hearts:
What sunny CLEANS and golden dreams
The passing years unfold.
How soft and warm the lovelight beams
When you are growing old.

Art spoils canvas and paint and
literature wastes reams of paper.
Singing merely produces temporary

VOTERS SHOULD
GOTO THE POLLS
SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX ELEc-
=. TION WILL sE HELD ON
TUESDAY.

Brunswick and Glynn county tax
payers will Tuesday vote on one Of
the most important matters submit
ted to them In years, when they will
be called upon to decide whether or
not Use city of Brunswick must pay
to the board OF education a certain
percentage of the taxes collected
yearly, the money to be devoted to
the support Of the public schools Of
the county.
That the necessary number Of vot-
ers will be poned in favor Of the spe-
cial tax there is no doubt. as the
law requires that only two-thirdc
of the total votes cast are necessary,
but the board Of education, is desir-
GUS of strong expression on the
part OF the voters. and IN a circular
letter, which WAS mailed to every
voter. yesterday, President A. Y.
Wood, OF the board, urges the vot-
ers to go to the polls on Tuesday
and cast ballot In favor of the spe-
cial,tax.
AS Is well known to the people OF
Brunswick, the public schools Of
Glynn county, which are now among
the best in the state, are facing a
financial crisis, and unless something
is done to relieve the situation It
will be necessary, as President Wood
says, to abolish the high school or
reduce the salaries of the teachers.
The election, is must be under
stood, does not mean an Increase in
taxes In any way; it simply means
tirat the city will be required to pay
to the board of education annually
a, small percentage Of it's tax money
1t is the duty Of every voter to in
dorse the plan and there Is bot one
way, of doing .it--casting a vote In
favor of the tax.
The election will be held in the
city and at every precinct In the
county, and, as the regular 1city cleo
ton Ia also to be held on that day
there will no doubt be a large vote
polled.'-' -. &
