FOOTBALL. FELLOWSHIP AND
COST OF BOARD At THE A. H.S.

Dear LEADER 1t was our pleas
ure tu visit the Brookhaven High
School Friday afternoon, and to en-.
gage in foot ball game. This
was the first game in our history
and to know that our efforts were
crowned with success increased the
Ienthuslasm of each student. The
Copiah- Lincoln students are rejoic-
ing over this victory. Although
we defeated Brookhaven 19 to 0. yet
they fought the battle faithfully,
and they entertained our boys roy
ally. We shall ever look forward
to games with Brookhaven so long
as each team maintains such high
standard of athletics
Our pride increases as we men,
tion the names of the young men
who reflected Sc hoDorably on our
school in winning this first game.
Each one of this band has an aver
age of IS per cent written down on
his record as a student. this being
made from both department and
literary work. Otherwise he can't
engage in these contests. Our buys
are Willis Cotton, Jeffie Montgom-
cry, Harry Youngblood. Hezekiah
Porter, Pap" Methin. George
Stewart, Grover TaIbert, Captain
Hamilton PauneII, Wesley Keen.

ford Little. Chas. Lee, Edd King,
Wilmer Williams.
There is always business side
to every enterprise. Many are
anxious to know what the cost of
the board will be. Remember that
our Institution isNin her infancy,
hence everything had to be bought
All of the vegetables, provisions.
in fact everything So far, we
have had no cows. but hope to Sc
cure some soon. However, re-
gardIess of these obstacles. we are
glad to say that the cost. of the
board per student for the first
month was $4.60. Now, friends,
isn't that placing an education
within the reach of every honest
and ambitious young boy in our
beloved country?
Just here allow US to say that
we wish every man in Lincoln
County would come visit our school
sometime during this session. Un-
hesitatingiy, do we say that we
have never seen higher standard
maintained by a student body that
exists at'our Copiah. Lincoln A II.
Is. There is.a fellowship among
our students that will win the ad-
miration of any one interested in
school life. Friends, these are
your boys and girls, this is your
school So we open wide the doors
of hospitality. and shall gladly
welcome you.

coin County Day, Thursday, Oct

our county has throughout the
state. We invite you to enlist in
this band, and let US make this a
day long to be remembered in the
history of our county. We can
make this day a grand success SO
let US avail ourselves of the oppor-
tunity
