SCHOOL ON co. LINE.

The rural consolidated school is
the recognized modern method and
is fast displacing the one-teacher
school, isolated and too often housed
poorly and lnadequately equipped.
Patronage from a sparsely-settled
community or neighborhood did not
justify better.
Fast ebbing is the day OF the sin
gle rural school. The day has dawn
ed for the consolidated school, where
all elements are combined to make a
first-class graded school and where
the combined patronage of different
neighborhoods is such as to justify
the authorities securing and paying
for competent and high-class SER
vice.
The Echois glad to note the schools
of Hancock county, under the su-
perintendeney of Hon. John Craft,
are consolidating. The value OF this
modern method employed in this
county cannot be overestimated and
later years will pay big dividends to
the taxpayers who pay the bills
paying possibly less money and get
ting more and better quality for the
price.
1t was only last week in these col
umns we told of the new consolidat-
ed school at Kiln and of the five
thousand dollar school house to be
built there.

Be Tried October.
FOR SIXTY THOUSAND

So recent and awful was the tragic
death of Miss Georgette Brandao, of
Bay ST. Louis, that it is hardly nec-
essary to recall here the details OF
the accident and its subsequent ia
tality, and how the community was
shocked and still feels deeply the
sorrow for one whose beautiful and
precious young life met SO untimely
an end.
1t will be remembered, however,
that on the morning of Friday, Au-
gust 18th, at 7:06 o'clock, Georgette
was driving her automobile across
the L. & N. railroad tracks, Front
street, and locomotive sfrom the di
rection of the local depot was about
to cross the long trestle bridge oyer
the bay, when it crashed into the
automobile, wheeling the machine
completely around to the direction
from whence it had come and throw
ing its occupant violently out against
post or fence and to the ground.
When picked up she was unconscious
and died in the arms of the good
woman who only moment or N ore
since had picked her up. 1t was
found her neck was broken and body
badly mutilated.
No one who witnessed the acci-
dent and the hundreds who visited
the scene after the occurrence will
ever forget the day.

ties the knot? Why our beloved
paster. After ennybuddy in this
community passes on into the great
beyant who is it stretches a pint in
order to say Mise things about EN-
whether they deserve it or not?
Parson Moore of course.
When ennybuddy is bereaved or
in sorrow or in poor health or suf-
fering from financial stringency
they allus go and lean on Rev.
Moore and he comforts EN- and
cheers EN- up and prays with EN-
and b1esses EN-. Then after the

way to treat your paster amt it?
We don't say that everybuddv
that belongs to the Bingville
church tightens up their wallet
strings when they go to service.
Them members of the church who
don't claim to be ssncktihde is the
very ones who pays Rev Moore all
he gifts to live on But when it
comes to some of them as passes as
the stanchest pliers of the church
like Cy Hoskins, Deacon Butter

so sancktimonious on Sunday and
trying to gouge the eyes outen their

loved paster cant live on buttons

A DISGRACE TO BINGVILLE

We take our eddytoriul pen in
hand to dash off a redhot eddy
toriu1 on behalf of Rev Saml
Moore our beloved paster of the
Bingville church in the hope that
it will do some good, but even if
it don't do no good why it wont
do no harm.
Tother day Rev. Moore happend
to drop into the Buggle offs for a
quiet chat and we was panied and
surprised to 1ern that the congre-
gashion of the church is at present
back nearly two yrs on their pas
tiers salary and that Rev Moore
and wife is Twin from hand to
mouth as we might say and half
the time he don't know where his
next meel is a coming from This
is a burning disgrase to Bingville
and the members of the church in
good standing ort to be ashamed
of theirse1fs.
Rev Moore told us that last
Sunday after morning service was
over and he counted out the con-
tents of the contribushion plates
all he found was a lead quarter,
three five ct pieces with holes in
same, several suspender buttons, a
stub of lead pencil and $1.14 in
genuine change.
How can our beloved paster ex-
