The speaker was DR.. L. G. Wither-

Mrs. Waldorf Aston is rather foolish
to pirate of her kindness as regards
aigrettes when, on her behalf, we
slaughter daily birds and sheep. sables

There are some farmers who re-

dry weather has caused the hollis to

a most favorable season for harvest

OF special interest to the farmers
OF Lee county is the recent report

cotton is being harvested in Ice
county much faster this season than

bales Of cotton ginned in Lee county

1850 bales ginned prior to Septem-

Our school opened August the 81
st with bright prospects. Pupils, pa-
irons and citizens generally, are
showing much Of the school-hunger-
ing spirit and this is the best prep
aration for educationalprogress de-
veIopment and growth.
After hearing and making seye-
raj rousing school speeches on the
first day. several OF our wide-aWake
patrons Immediately raised money
and bought screns for all the doors
and windows Of our handsome little
school building. They have an eye
to health and comfort as well as to
business, this is novel idea, but
an interesting one. Why should
Smithville not be first in school i
deals and reals" as well as Chica-
go or New York? It is not the pops
ulous city, but the thinking brain
that brings things to pass. Is there
another school Of South Georgia,
yes Of all Georgia that has thought
Of this modern idea?
The school board had the campus
seraped clean, the building cleansed
ard put intogood repair before the
teachers came on the ground. Not
one school board in a thousand and
one ever does SO much for school
as the snithville board did. This
act on the part Of the board makes
success certain. The teachers and
pupils with the help of the good
people Of the town and district are
planning to standardize the school,
to put. it on the accredited list, to
put tile tow, by means Of the repu-
tation of the school, on the map.
The Smithville school must be
known and honored in the great ed
vocational system of the state of
Georgia. We are expecting to take
contestants to the high school con-
tests at Vienna next April. II the
patrons will help US to the extent
that they screw up their courage a
little till it reaches the sticking pla-
ce, we will show them that Smith
vile school is a power and that tits
a credit and an honor to Lee coun-
ty and to its founders.
The children have freely bought
song books for the school. We are
corresponding with piano,.companies
for the best bargains in pianos, and
we earnestly request the attendance
and help of every body at the ice
cream supper Friday night and on
every ocassion and in every way in
order to meet all obligations neces-
STATED by these improvements.

missed the school a book shower.
