" HE Southern golf champion
ship has been played and
won, but the golf season of
Dixie lacks a big lot of being over.
Two of the most important invi
tation tournaments of the season
are still to be played. They are
those given by the Montgomery
Country club and the Atlanta Ath-
etic club. The former is set for
July to 6 and the latter for
July IS to 20.
Montgomery's tournament will
be it's third. The first attempt in
the Alabama capital was almost
a total fizzle. There were hardly
enough entries to make ball
handicap interesting. The second
one held last summer, was a vast
ly better affair and while the en-
try was not large 1t was tremen-
dously classy. This year Mont
gomery ought to have a big tour
nament. AS the Southern cham
pionship is to be played over the
Montgomery course next season
many golfers will want to play in
this coming tournament. in an eff
fort. to get the hang of the circuit
and the lay of the land
A TLANTA'S invitation tourna
ment ought to be the class of
'em ALL" The local club is the
largest in the South. Its course is
the best. Atlanta's hotels top any
thing in Dixie. The summer eli
mate is the best And as for the
nineteenth hole" without which no
tournament can be a go, Atlanta's
is second to none. The local course

will be polished to the limit for the
coming event.

In the first round, played yester-
day. McDermott took 81 strokes
and virtually lost out.
Atlanta golfers well remember
McDermott. He played here in the
open event in the fall Of 1910. And,
truly. he's a queer specimen. He
looked then like some school boy
who had strayed into the wrong
lot He is small, slight, smooth
faced and looks as inoffensive as a

Yet McDermott is considerably
more of a golfer than he looks.
Two years ago then an unknown
child in the golfing world, he tied
with Alex Smith and Macdonald
Smith in the open championship of
America. Last year he won the
open
McDermott may not have the
size nor the looks of a champion,
but he has the nerve. 1t is re-

WILLIAMS PUBLIC
 SCHOOL NOTES

We are glad to state that our recent misfortune has not interfered in any way with the good attend ance at school. The children and teachers all seem to be putting forth an extra effort to make a win hing at the school this year and it will take worse than fire to mar their success to any great extent. The parents, tco, seem very willing to put forth an extra effort for the welfare of the school.
 The manual training department is at the present time placing the saw and Hammer in reach of the girls of the higher grades, and it is reported that some of them can saw nearer to the line than many of the boys with much more ex- perience. After all it is the eye that needs the training and we can't see why the girls should re- ceiye legs than the boys, therefore we are heartily in favor of the new order of things in the manual training room. We wonder if it would not be good plan to place the needle in reach of the boys of, the higher grades. It might be useful instrument to them in later years.
 Several new boys and girls en- tered school this week, one being Greek who cannot speak English.

MISS MYRTLE GRANVILLE
 RESIGNS AS TEACHER

After over two years of most sue cessful and effective work in our public school as principal and as- sistant principal. Miss Myrtle Gra- velle bids her scholars and fellow teachers farewell. Her resignation, which she placed before the board of trustees before the holidays, took effect last Friday.
 It is to be regretted that our school must at this time suffer the loss of a teacher of Miss Gravelle's personality and ability to lead the young and questioning minds to the tree of knowledge. We men ton personality here for the reason that it is so lacking in this profess sion in these advanced days of catch-as. catch can, and because as our mind drifts back to our kid Qdyo WO teacher we jumped the fastest and farthest under was the teacher of bearing, strict, yet kind and hu- man. And for these very traits of character Miss Gravelle is loved by her pupils and held in the highest esteem and respect by the parents and people in general of this com munity.
 The children rendered her a shower last Friday afternoon, which spoke eloquently of the bond of sympathy and good will existing between teacher and scholars.
 Whatever field of endeavor and wherever that field may be, that this womanly woman takes up in the future, she can rest assured that the best wishes of the people of Williams is with her and for her.

COUNTY DIVISION
 WILL BE A WINNER

In Coconino county the people are not averse to allowing DOT tion of the county to be cut off Flagstaff people do not seem to be particular as to what action is to be taken according to reports from that county. The people in vest ern Coconino have 8 long way to go in order to get to the county seat and their county is plenty large enough to make two. How. ever no action is certain at the present session as there are many other matters to be considered.- Arizona Deno ocrat.
 About the only objection that seems to come from the eastern end of Coconino county is the fact that the people fear that the taxes will be raised when the county is split.
 We feel safe in saying that they need not fear anything of that kind, as lot of property heretofore prac- tically untaxed will come in for it's pro rata under the new state ad. ministratiou, as will be shown by statistics at the proper time, thus enabling us to make division sat. isfactory to both sides of the county.

Bunny Dope

Last Thursday week Dr. Melick, c. w. Ortt, Al Lebsch and G. S. Kirkpatrick travelled up the canyon road for IS or 20 miles after rab- bits and brought back close to 80 bunnies.
 MT. Ortt seemed to have phe- nomenal luck and a true eye, for he bagged 43. Messrs. Lebsch and Kirkpatrick seem to be of the opin- ion that Ortt must have used some kind of dope to scent himself up with, for no matter which one of the party hunted with him all the rabbits seemed to be on his side or got up under his feet, and they rarely had a chanca to get away. Lebsch maintains with all serious ness that Ortt could have done as we'll with club as with a gun, for it seemed apparent that the rab bits on several occasions deliber- ately ran at Ortt in an endeavor to attack him. but this statement may perhaps be exaggeration on account of Al seeing several of the animals start from his side and run toward Ortt.
