 Last, but not least, that noble woman, Mrs. Laura Conner, whose life's work has been spent in the upbuilding of the commun- ity in which she has resided, gave an instructive lecture on "The Relation of Parents and Teachers. :" Only teacher can appreciate fully all that was said. Having been blessed by the AL mighty with a large family of noble boys and girls, l am sure she can qualify both as a mother and a teacher in true sense of the terms.

McCRORY 0, BRINKLEY o

On a wet field and in a down. pour of rain the McCrory High School Foot Ball Eleven held the Brinkley High to a scoreless tie yesterday, Thursday, afternoon. The rain ceased during the latter part of the game and open-style football was tried very few times.
 At the beginning Brinkley tore through McCrory's line almost at will but our boys soon stopped this which for a time threatened their goal. At one time Brink ley was within ten yards of goal but failed to make the necessary gain, our boys putting up a stub born wall of defense.
 Although the visitors out weighed the locals they were lucky to get away without de- feat. In the very last part of the game a fake play by Winfree to Daley let the latter go for a spectacular 5O-yard run, almost making a touchdown. Had the last quarter been played for full time instead of five minutes, McCrory no doubt would have scored as the ball was within only d few yards of goal when time was called.
 Winfree played best through out the entire game and Rhodes, Haney, Harris, Holder, Hayes and Perkins did excellent work.
 The game was one of the cleanest and hardest fought of the season, however some thought the 25 yards penalty i'm posed upon McCrory was a little strong" and had it not been

BICYCLISTS TO
Observe LAWS,
SAYS RECORDER
CASES TO BE MADE AGAINST
VIOLAT0RS.

Americas has (upon the statute
books only an ordinance regulating
the riding of bicycles on the side
walks in certain sections of the city
but, like the auto speed law and the
muffler cutout ordinance it is a farce
only, and riders heretofore have paid
no attention to such ordinance. How
ever, Recorder Marshall is going to
call halt now and insist upon the
enforcement of this ordinance.
Bicyclists can ride on pavements
only OUTSIDE the fire limits, and even
then they are required to dismount
upon meeting or passing a pedestrian
But who ever heard Of a bicyclis..
here doing any such stunt.
Church street and Lee is a race
course for bicycle boys, especially the
negro porters in grocery stores here,
and any cop can easily pick UP a
bunch of them any late afternoon. Re-
corder Marshall is going after this
class of speedbugs and few IS or
$40 fines will serve to restore the
pavement to pedestrians instead OF
being made bicycle race course.
It is hoped that Recorder Marshall
will also apply the law forcibly to the
muffler cutout fiend and the automo-
bile racer here.
