Seven Months Term For Rural Schools
Probable Next Year.

State Supt. Burksdale Hamlett was
delighted recently to find that there re-
manned neat balance to the credit of
the school fund, and with his usual
solicitude for the promotion of the well
fare of the rural schools of the state.
at once determined to proloug them in
to a seven months term. The surplus
at his command he found to be amply
adequate for the purpose. However,
he was doomed to have his hopes blast
ed, at least for the present, for upon
submitting the proposition to the At
torney General for legal opinion, he
was Informed by that gentleman that
it would require an act of the legisla-
ture to lengthen the school term.
Prof. Hamlet is nothing daunted
by this obstacle and will ask the
coming session of the legislature to
pass an enabling act which will permit
him to extend the term as he had hoped
to do.
1t is thought there will be no obstac-
les in the way of the passing of this
act, and next year we hope and expect
to see one more month, at least, added
to the Common School term throughout
! the State.

such versatility of accomplishments as
our young office devil, Billy Miller,
who has all the finesse that comes with
thorough training and study, his train
ing as Office devil being a great help to
him in his role as butler.
AS actresses and opponents of COM
edy, Mesdames Embry, Miller and
Hurt together with Miss holland were
altogether delightful.
Mr.. Davidson was not stranger be-
fore the footlights and his clever act
ing in this, as well as 1.-The Last Loaf

local player.
Mr.. Hewlett was exceptionally good
in the complications that excited the
laugh-provoking mistakes.
Little Miss Virginia Beazley and
Russell Sanford dressed as pickanin.
MES and acting their part to perfection,
helped to make this one of the most
pleasing affairs in the history of Local
amusements.
This entertainment was given under
the auspices of the Circle Girls and the
door receipts amounting to $S5. will be
used for missionary purposes.
