THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
December 1922, 1911.

During the December Meeting OF
the Board of Supervisors the plans
for celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of the formation OF
Greene County were completed and
the program is for December Is % to
be set aside as the week in which
this celebration is to take place.
The first three days are to be set
aside for work on the Public Roads,
the next day, Thursday the 2lst, is
to be spent in planting out trees on
the school grounds and in other ways
beautifvlng and improving the school
houses aud school grounds; and the
last day, Friday the 22nd, is to be a
social day at the school houses. The
suggested program is for the schools
to render a public exercise consisting
of essays, recitation, debates and
other appropriate school exercises,
and where itls possible it is suggest
ed that a speaker be secured to make
an address on GreeneCUunty or some
other Historical subject Dinner on
the ground will add much to the sue
cess of this day.
Every community is urged to or
ganize a force to work the roads
which are most used by that com
munity. The committee does not
think it is asking too much OF those
who have a genuine interest in the
Industrial Up-building of the County
to work five days for the material
welfare of our County.
We cannot live unto ourselves any
longer-the world has grown too
large for that and much depends up
on our broad minded patriotic clti-
zenship.

again and yet again; and he pulled
and yanked and hauled until his
hands were sorely cut and bleeding;
