FOR EBENEZER HIGH SCHOOL.
Another School District in Oconee
Votes for Advanced Methods.

In Ebenezer School District, No.
SO, an election was held last Satur-
day for the purpose Of deciding the
question as to whether or not an ex-
ira levy should be laid upon the
property Of the district for the pur-
pose OF building and maintaining @
high school for that district, and the
election was carried, 81 to 21, favor
able to the making Of the extra levy.
That fact means that IGbenezer
School District is to have an up-to-
date school in the future, and the
citizens have gone to work in earnest
TO make the date of active high school
work the very earliest possible. The
election was held only last Saturday,
yet last Monday morning found car
penters on hand and at work la, ing
the foundations for the new building,
and teams were laying down material
bright and early. The building will
De or ample proportions to accommo-
date the children of the district, and
1t will be the endeavor of the trus-
tees Of the district to have one Of the
best schools in the county.
The people Of the Ebenezer COM
munity and district are to be con-
graduated upon this step taken. 1t
Will mean much for the community
not only In actual advantages to the
children Of the district, but it will be
great stimulus to the material
growth and prosperity of all territory
within reach OF the community at
large. The trustees Of this district
are j. A. lvester, S. II. Snead and
John Tolleson.
High Falls and Wolf Stake.
At the special election held in
High Falls and Wolf Stake districts
recently, the proposed graded school
was voted down by good majority.
This means that the people of these
districts are satisfied with, or at least
are not willing to improve, the little
school that was better suited to the
conditions Of decade ago than those
Of to-day. 1t Is an excellent example
of the assertion made on every side
that our education facilities are not
keeping up with our marvellous COM
merctal and industrial progress.
The people Of Oconee have a right
to as good schools as any other sec
tfon Of the State. May they soon
realize this right and join hands to
consolidate small country schools
into the latest improved graded
systems, and thus put our county
where she belongs-in the front
rank Of advanced educational facili-
ties.

Tell me, Burt, have you been happy,
dear,
Since God has called you home?
Has our Father drawn you to him?
Did the Saviour bid you come?
Tell me. darling boy, has Jesus love
So filled you with delight
That all earth-stains nave been re-
moved?
Are all things clear and bright?
How 1 long to get an answer back
From heaven, sent by you;
Can't you tell me, Burt, the beauties
or your home so good and true?
Have you met the holy angels?
Do you know our loved ones there?
Was there some one there to gree:
you
At the golden gate so fair?
Burt, l have prayed that I might
meet you-
That your face would brightly CLEAN
And reflect the rays of glory
Even in a fitful dream.
l would ask you many questions
OF the great white throne above,
But l know that you would tell me
First about your Saviour's love.
And now, Burt, let me ask you
That when my life is DER,
That you'll be the first to greet me
When | reach that blissful shore.
