Gives Scholarship
To Fulton School.

We no longer have to look to the
North and East for philanthropists
to do things for us. Big hearted
Southerners are amassing fortunes at
home and as they do SO they are
unloosing their purse strings and
helping their fellows In a practical
way that means for the betterment
of mankind. We have an example OF
this in our home county.
Prof. ]. C. Cheek. Superintendent
OF the city schools of Fulton, has
Just received from Mr.. S. L. Dodds.
of Hickman, this county, a wealthy,
public-spirited and liberal citizen.
whose heart is in the right place,
an offer that will mean the making
Of future useful citizens. He has
made to Prof. Cheek for the Fulton
school a duplicate proposition to the
one ne had previously made to the
Hickman school.
1t is as follows:
To the pupil making the highest
scholarship in the senior class each
year. Mr.. Dodds will donate outright
S2OO-for the next year, to enter
whatever college he may select. Then
the pupil may complete the course.
that for the ensuing three years, MIR.
Dodds will loan the pupil $500 a
year, without surety, but this $500
to be paid back to Mr.. Dodds with
6 per cent interest when the student
goes to work for himself. Thus is
given the pupil an opportunity to help
himself get an education. This is
practical philanthropy and the kind
that reaches the spot and win do
good. Endowments of educational in
situations is all right in order to get
them, but Mr.. Dodds goes right at
the root of the matter and gives the
student an opportunity to get the
education and make something of
hlmself.-Fulton Leader.

No wonder henehan wants the

promises to be the most important
ever held in the West
