left balance of $5. 49,. Lumber to
this amount will be purchased, and
seats put up at Blowing Spring. It
was hoped to get $15 90 or 1000 clear,
and bay lumber for platform for the
singers at the convention to be held
here Sunday, July II, but it will take
another effort to raise money for this
purpose. Lumber to the amount rails

the near future to erect seats and
make Other improvements. Date Of
this working will be announced later.

COUNTY
TEACHERS EXAMINATION

The first teachers examination fol
Marion county will be held at the
high school building in Jasper, on May
81 and June !. The following is taken
from circular of information issued
by the State Superintendent Of Public
Instruction:
"All teachers expecting to begin
their schools beforethe first Of Septem-
Der should take the first examination.
as no certificate can be issued on the
second examination before the last OF
August.

ing the examination in the two books
of the Reading Circle Course, or by
attending a summer term of one of
the State Normals, the Summer School
of the South or Peabody College, and
three courses as shown by the records
of the institution. Three courses can
not be taken satisfactorily at summer
schools unless pupils enter during the
first week OF the term"
It would appear from the above that
all teachers who were examined only
in the reading circle books last year
would be required to take the whole
examination this year, and that those
who took the whole examination last
year and received certificates "bear-

take the regular examination.

which started for the most part from
preyentable causes On the national
forest purchase areas alone forty nine
fires occurred in March, burning over
more than 6, 500 acres, while forty four
fires started on private land near or
within government boundaries DANA

were even more numerous and severe,
but rains in the latter part of the
month helped the situation somewhat.

COWBOY Jim"
LECTURES AT HALL

COWBOY Jim" who been here with
bis outfit Of three wagons containing
his family. and moving picture out
fit, has certainly attracted attention
while here, and left Monday having
made many friends. His correct name
is j. M. Austin, and he Is big, raw
bone1 Texan with voice that sort Of
rumbles awav off somewhere. He is
lecturing in the cause of temperance,
a sort of cowboy Billy Sunday, and
what he says, he says In such way
that it bits the mark pointedly and
effectively. 1t is not sermon that
he gives, but plain, common sense
talk expressed in the terse and vigor-
GUS language of the plains. His films
are just ordinary films, but he draws
very practical lessons from them just
the same. He is a reformed drunkard
and gambler, himself, but is man
enough to face an audience and tell
why be reformed, and what drinking
and gambling was getting him into.
After the program to show people
how he could make money betting on
what he could do in feat of strength,
he loaded one of Will Lees big wag-
ons with 2708 pounds of humanity and
hauled 1t up two sloping planks with
his teeth, moving backward, and on
Saturday night be moved wagon con-
tanning 1859 pounds Of Sequachee's
heaviest young men, who were out for
a JOY ride. He moved the wagon three
or four feet up the incline hauling il
with bis teeth. He has record of
4619 pounds. People have offered to
bet as much as $500 that he could not
move such loaded wagon, and he
could, IL he would. rake in all sorts of
money betting on this feat.
He is returning to his home after
trip thru Florida. His family are very
intelligent and nice hammered people,
and made many friends during their
stay.
No one can afford to miss what
"Cowboy Jim" has to say of his
practical experiences. They are thor
oughly interesting and will do great
good in implanting lessons in the
minds of youth towards temperance
and good behavior.
