School Equal to Any.

The remarks below are greatly ap-
preciated by the people of the new
OcOnee Creek School District OF Oco-
nee. There is contained in these
few words a good deal Of praise for

ing interest in whatever pertains to
the welfare and happiness Of your
community and county, especially
along the line OF public education.
'The educational needs of this
community were presented to the
County Board Of Education, asking
for the establishment of this new
school district. Upon careful inves-
tigation this district has been estab-
lished, through puu,ic donations,
local school funds and the generous
aid extended by our efficient State
Superintendent, and we have here
to-day one of the best, latest i'm
proved and equipped school build
ings 10 be found anywhere in Oco-
nee county. No better index to the
progress and civilization of any
community can be shown than its in
tereSt manifested in the education of
its youth, fittiE and preparing them
for the duties and responsibilities Of
citizenship.
This effort on the part OF the
trustees of this district is to be
commended, her citizens are to be
congratulated, and they deserve at
the hands of this entire community
the well done, good and faithful
servants for the able manner in
which they have discharged their
part of this work entrusted to their
hands.
Again | welcome you, one and
all, to the festivities and enjoyments
