MAYEsvILE TEACHERS ELECTED
IL. IL. BrunsOn of Ellenton Chosen to
Succeed Himself-TwO New Teach.
s ers- Good Yields or Wheat.

Mayesville, June 23.AAt a meeting
of the Mayesyille school yesterday, the
following teachers were elected for
the ensuing session: H. H. Brunson
OF Ellenton, who was principal here
last session, Miss jamie Ford of
Blackstock, grammar school depart
ment; Miss Drusilla Gee of Santuc, in
termediate grades, and Miss Lillian v.
Cook of Rock Hill, primary depart
ment. Principal Brunson made a fine
impression here last year and all of
the newly elected teachers come high
ly recommended, so that the school
should enjoy another successful ses-
sion. 1t is hoped that this school will
be numbered among the high schools
of the State next year.
Among the successful growers of
wheat hereabouts is NJ. c. Mayes, who
harvested an average of "a bushels of
wheat to the acre which is considered
a good yield in this section. From all
reports, most of the planters of this
grain were successful and much
home-grow flour will be used during
the coming fall and winter. All crops
are fairly good considering the wet
spring. Corn is not up to it's usual
stand and quite a lot of the cotton is
small and grassy. Tobacco seems to
be in good shape and there will be
heavy crop, if conditions continue
good.
The town council has recently H.
stalled some new lights which We're
badly needed. AT present, the stfeets
are being worked and a good deal of
drain piping put in.
f. A. Stuckey is preparing to build
modern home in the west end Of
town which will add much to this al
ready attractive section of town.
