eighty-fye pupils, with several more

the hundred mark this year. Nine

reached last year.

We have several pupils from a
distance. These are all live, pro-
gressiye young folks seeking earnest
~ for education.
People are beginning to realize
that it means something and re-
quires some effort. to enter Smith
Vile School since we accept none
that do not show their past re-
cord stated in full in every detail
and signed by their former princi
pal. We also require more work Of
pupils to graduate than formerly.
Hereafter we shall require of a can
didate for u diplima minimum Of
fourteen studies that would in an
accredited school count as the same
number Of college entrance units.
This work can be easily done in
three years by any normal minded
pupil by completing four regular
studies with little drill in an ex-
ira each year. 1t is foolish for a
4 ,pil to go conditioned" to col
lege. Some one may say that a
three-year high school cannot get
over twelve units entrance credit
We do not get any credit and We
do not expect any credit. But we
expect to enter by examination.
So it is up to the pupils TO study
diligently.
Our old graduates are welcome
back home to get three or four
studies if they want to make the
sacrifice Of time and effort and the
saving Of snug little sum Of mon
ey in college.

Farm DemonstratoT Says Push The
clog and HOminy Movement.

/
AT the meeting d The Fair TIL
rectors Tuesday morning it was de-
cided that we would have fair
this fall and carry the exhibits from
here to the State FaiT Gin Macon
Probably all Of you my dear read
ers do not thoroughly understand
tie good the Lee County Fair as q
whole will beto Lee county There
lis no better advertising medium
in the world.
sincerely trust and hope every
farmer, stock-raiser, or anyone TINT
is connected or interested ID any
agricultural line will join hand ia
hand with the fair workers and
make it quite a success. AS you
realize we have only short time
and must get busy. Some Of you
will say you have nothing to exhi-
bit. / know by inspection Of the
farms of Lee county that there Is
not one who could not get up a
first class exhibit. It is true your
cotton IS short, but that is the very
thing We do no. wish to exhibit
Let US push the nog and Hom-
my" movement and thank ourselves
that we haven't got the cotton to
display.
/ desire to say here that those
who are interested in The club work
and their parents, that yon will re-
ceive the necessary data and see me
in person in the next few days. We
intend to push the corn, pig and
canning club work in connection
with the Fair and will assure you
a premium Of some kind If you
will stick to your acre, pig and to-
matoes and make an exhibit.
Nothing in the world is more e,lu-
cationai and beneficial to the young
people than to get them interested
in farming and teach them to grow
meat and bread and live at home.
The demonstrators who enlisted
with the demonstration will be cx-
pected to make the best exhibits Of
all. / shall see you each and every
one and shall expect you to do your
part.
When approached by any COM
mittee in interest Of the fair, dono
shirk from duty but kindle the fire,
join the band and let ils have the
best county fair in Georgia Il eln
be done. We have the material in
Lee county to 10 it with and we
must not miss the opportunity
which we have before us to put Lee
county second to none at the State
Fair. Respectfully,

The magnitude of our last

The greatet drawback we
have is in getting a suitable
building and Mr.. S. ]. Powell
was requested to ask the local
Board of Trustees for the use
of the Leesburg High School
building and grounds for this
purpose. This would give US

1.-THE cooperation Of the Coun-
Ity Board of Education. Last
/ year there was some rivalry
lin the school exhibits and
THESE were extremely credita-
fble, though only three were
represented. But the fair was
gotten up too hurriedly to
have as good school exhibits
Jas we expect this year. Be
lsides these exhibits we expect
to have some very interesting
local attractions, Possibly
basket bali games between the
ISmithyilIe and Leesburg girls
EAthietic contests between
young men and best of all a
good competent baby show.
There are about 60 babies un-
der 2 years old in the county
and these are expected to be
present. The young people
of SfnithvilIe and Leesburg
will be asked to give US play
one night each. Later it is
expected the music will be
used in dancing. We wish
also 10 show the 'tangoists'
that our old square dances
have not been forgotten and
such Of us as used to do this
and the justification will
please be on hand with a light
foot.
The list committees will be
printed next week and all are
asked to serve and expected
to give an earnest effort both
in an individual capacity and
to use their influence toward
spreading the fair contagious
To be successful fair every
body has got to help and to
talk fair, fair, fair, This will
get everybody here.
AS a beginner we will have
to have a subscription taken
to defray expenses and guar
antee payment Of premiums.
A small admission fee will
probably be charged and this
is expected to pay all this ex-
pense. Whatever balance we
have on hand, can be de-
posted for use at the 1916
fair We also expect to serve
sweets and refreshments on
the grounds charging a mode
rate price
After the Fair is over We
are going to send such exhi-
bits as practical to the State
Fair at Macon, and Of course
Lee county will take every
premium in sight. Letevery
citizen take an interest and
help US to make the Fair a
complete success.

Gel. ANDRES TALKS
ABOUT LEGISLATURE

Atlanta, Ca That the precipi
tate adjournment of the recent
legislature was the work Of a small
coterie of prohibitionists living in
Atlanta, rather than expressive Of
the real prohibition sentiment Of the
state, is declared in an interview by
Representative Walter P. Andrews
Of Fulton county.
Colonel Andrews calls attention to
the fact that he is heartily in favor
oftemperanee, and that Fulton coun
ty is not opposed to reasonable pro-
hibition laws. He goes on record as
stating:--
There ism t a man in Georgia who
has 'esy personal interest in the IL
quor traffic than | have. | have
never represented or owned any Ii
quor or beer interest, and | have
never made dollar directly or in
directly out Of liqcoror beer interest.
I have stores standing idle which |
have refused to rent for near beer
saloon. :
The thing that Colonel Andrews
does oppose is the acton at the re-
sent legislature in baking action on
such measures as theapproprrl1tion
billand the Weston & Atlantic lease.
these matters he points out, must
be settled at once, onless failur, to
do 50 is to cause grave les to the
states finances, and he fears that
If prohibition should be included
in the special session call it would
mean ali expensive repetition Of
what occurred at the regular session.

pose Of Regulating

I Special 90 THE World.
BLACKWELL, Okla, oct. %
"Tho Jitncy Drivers Union" is the
name of BlaCkwclls latest Organiza-
tion. This organization was gotten
together by the men who drive serv-
ice cars between this city and the
surrounding towns and between here
and the oil field. The purpose was
not, however to hold prices high
and force men to pay big prices for
the work that they might not be
able TO get unless it did come from
the union, but rather to establish
a reasonable rate between this city
and the field and the other towns
and after having cards printed and
circulated generally showing the
price, have all of the men follow
this price.
The reason for the idea of the or
ganization originated in the mass
meeting Of Blackwell citizens a short
time ago at which plans were dis
cussed for making the entertain
ment in Blackwell and the service
between this city and the oil field
standard in every way and con-
Ventent so that man coming in
could know that he could get to the
field and back at a certain time and
for a stated sum.
There are in the neighborhood of
a dozen automobiles doing service
work as ''jitney" cars on the streets
and operating over the road out of
here toward the oil district. The
major portion of these cars have
been started Since the Alberti we'll

For many years. TahleQuah, after
the removal Of the CherOkecs from
east of the Mississippi river, and
after the establishment Of the
Cherokee nation in Indian Territory,
was typical Indian town. The few
white men and women residents
there were almost without exception
citizens by intermarriage of the Cher
okee nation, and it was not until
many years had passed that the peo-
pie of Anglo-SaXon blood began to
become numerous in the nation.
Picturesque Costume.
Visitors from distant states AMI
cities who passed through the CherO-
keo country and stopped for brief
periods in TahleQuah were impressed
with the picturesque costumes so
much i'm evidence. The annual con-
yening Of the Cherokee national
council brought great crowds into the
town from all over the nation. At
such times the large square sur
rounding the council houses was a
mass of color as warriors, leaders and
statesmen met with hundreds of their
COuntrymcn, all equally dressed as
far as colors and fashions were
concerned.
But the days of the national cos
tune are long since passed, and even
in the most secluded mountain regions
where yet dwell a remnant of the
old-time Chcrokecs, it is very seldom
that a hunting shirt may be seen.
The weaving and dycing is rarely
ever attempted, and there are prob
ably not more than three or four Of
the old women of the nation now liy-
ing who are able to manufacture a
