Garrett; the High School, taught
by myself.
All children, expecting to attend
this school, are earnestly requested
to begin promptly at the beginning.
| trust there will be a larger at
tendance and, if possible, a better
years work than at any previous
term Of the schools history. Leta
concerned work together for a great
success. Then we shall have a fine
school. United. we stand"
We begin this school under the
conviction that the parents want
their children educated. Hence,
the great necessity of their co-opera-
ton. Cooperation requires that
parents send their children toschool
on time every morning and after
noon from the first day to the last
inclusive of the nine months session.
Cooperation requires, also, that
parents install into their children
young and receptive minds the all
important lesson Of diligent study
and Of absolute and cheerful obe-
dience and subnlissiveness to their
teachers. Otherwise the school will
be failure, no matter how hard,
faithfully and enthusiastically, the
teachers work.
The young ladies that Will have
charge of the intermediate and the
primary departments are specialists
in their chosen work. They are
born teachers and are by both nature
and training eminently qualified for
their work. Therefore, ! feel fully
confident Of a successful years work,
Come, every boy and girl whose
right it is to attend the l.eesburg
School Join us, and feel perfectly
free and welcome It is your school.
The great state Of Georgia has cs=
tablished it and maintains it at great
expense for your especial benefit.
Take advantage of what your state
and community have given you, ~
an opportunity to procure a good
common and high school education
at home. The best thing that could
possibly have been given you.
Education is far more imperative

BORN-To Mr.. and Mrs. j. L.

glance at Mr. Magee' s face as he
came down much earlier than
usual to the post Office, told the
story. It not only reflected IN
his face, but the rapidity with
which he walked convinced all
that he had one more to provide
for. Mother and daughter are

more than compensate the father

Holland. Yesterday 1t was announced
that M. De Selves had changed his
plans and would stay here as a conse
quence Of the new situation brought
about in Morocco by the determination
of Germany to send a gunboat to Aga
dir.
It is not unlikely that, after CON
sulting with Great Britain. France
may send a warship to Agadir, as the
Algeciras act authorizes the policing
of the Moroccan coast by France in
conjunction with Spain. Although the
German action was sudden, France had
been anticipating a move of some sort
by Germany because of SPANS action
of her military operations in thefnorth
of Morocco. a policy which France has
steadily opposed as leading to the idea
that the agreement of Algeciras was
dead and that Morocco to be dis
membered.
The french press continues calm,
but urges that government to conduct
the situation with a firm hand.
