MISS BOURLAND OFF
FOR NEW POSITION
TEACHERS, PUPILS AND OTHERS
OF LOCAL SCHOOLS REGRET
HER DEPARTURE.

Miss Minnie BOurland, for ten years
principal OF the Purvis school of this
city. departed last night for Bowling
Green, KY, where she mas accepted
position as critic teacher in the state
normal school.
During the ten years of her princi-
palShip of Purvis school Miss Bour-
land has had the pleasure of seeing
it advance TO a standard of excellence
probably not surpassed by any other
of it's size in Georgia, and that she
had won the hearts of parents and
children alike was attested by the
many tributes of affection. From the
infirm old janitor who had SO many
years served under her, the president
of the board of education, all who
knew her, i'll some way contrived to
let her feel their appreciation of her
hearted, unselfish work for 9th
ers, and the adieus Of her little pupils
were touching in the extreme. AS a
token of their love the children of all
the grades presented her with a signet
ring engraved with her initials and
bearing inside the inscription: 'Pur
Wis '04-'16." and as a parting gift from
the teachers she received beautiful
cameo la valliere in a setting of tiny
pearls. These were presented at the
Friday afternoon session with apprO-
pirate words from teachers and pupils.
That her work here may continue to
bear fruit in the hearts and lives of
the many young people she has influ-
enced and that in her new environ
ment with abundant success is the
hearty wish of her Brunswick friends.

The grower Of early sweet potatoes,

brought good prices do not wish to de-

They grow their draws in cold frames

heavy cloth. The potatoes are put into
the cold frames during the last of Jan

for the field by the first of April.
Very few plantgrowers have given any

draws and it is at present very

A PROFITABLE BUSINESS FOR
THE SOUTH GEORGIA FARMER
WHO HAS THE ENERGY AND
ABILITY TO STRT RIGHT.

The growing of sweet potato draws
or slips for sale has proven profit
able business during the season of
1915. South Georgia, owing TO its mild
climate and warm soils. is peculiarly
adapted to this enterprise The fact
that farmers and plant growers found
the producing of sweet potato draws
profitable last year does not necessar-
lily mean, THAT those who start into
this business this year will make a
killing" easily. However, a serious
study of this business leads 10 the
conclusion that it has been and indi-
cations are that it will continue to
TO be a good and profitable business
Profit will be made by those who have
the ability to grow and market good
product.
The main crop of draws is grown
without any protection while those
for producing the crop Of early pota-
toes are produced in cold frames TO
grow them without the use of cold
frames the most important considera-
ton is to have the field that is to- be
used exceptionally well drained and
composed of sandy soil. The bed
ding is done during January and Feb
ruary. Beds from 6 to 16 feet wide
are used; the smaller width when the
quantity bedded is small. Between
each two beds there should be a space
six feet wide.
To prepare the bed for planting,
throw out the soil TO a depth OF four

The Habit of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one thu is cas-

with your windows up. Do this and

STINGY GUY
BY Jim Nance
go ssss s**,s
Freddie Brown was a queer little KID
And he went to a public school, he
did.
Just like anybody would.
He had parents and they had dough,
And Freddie used to like to see it go.
He'd spend it for candy, he would.
All of the girls and all of the boys,
Who didn't enjoy all the money joys,
Thought Freddie was queer that's
why
When he ate all his candy and gave
none away
They called him "stingy guy"
