Closed Doors,

The general merchandising es-

Decaturville, made an assign
ment for the benefit of creditors,
on Thursday Of last week and
that occurrence was followed on
the End inst, by the Farmers
Bank in Decaturville closing it's
doors. The bank was capitaliz-
ed at $40, 900 paid up, and the
Smith assignment, 1t is said was
the main cause Of its suspension,
g. e. Smith being indebted to
the bank some. 81, 900, while his
brother, O. A. Smith, cashier of
the Bank was indebted about
$500, properly secured. The
financial disaster has badly torn

Christmas in Lexington was

amount Of whisky imported,
Some say that the bcozers, who

gotten shy of the town, as get,
ting on anything like satisfac'

has become too expensive. 1t is
to be hoped that every magis
trate and citizen in the county
will do their duty and that eacl
and every drunk will be proper.

Notice to Teachers
and the Public.

The County Board of Educa-
ton met in the office of the
County superintendent on the
9Th day of January, and among
other things, they elected }. W.
Ballard of Juno, Tennessee, to
act as Attendance Officer for
Henderson county, for the rural
schools. He enters upon the dis.
charge of his duty at once, and
will proceed against all who are
violating the regulations Of the
Compulsory School Attendance
Law. 1t is not his desire, nor
the desire of the board that any
one should suffer except for a
wlllful violation of the law, but
it is our duty as school officials
to have this law enforced as re-
CURED by law.
1t is my opinion that no father
or mother with proper regard for
their children can censure those
who enforce SO desirable law,
and certainly not after they see
the benefits of it.
The law has done a great good
without an Attendance Officer,
and we expect greater good with
his assistance. The teachers
and those interested in the en-
forcement of the law will please
make up reports to Mr.. }. W.
Ballard, Juno, Tenn, when they
need his assistance, or report to
me, and | shall be pleased to CO.
operate with them.
