PRELIMINARY STEPS FOR
COLORED HIGH SCHOOL

Jasper. Tenn, Dec. IL. "A
movement that has been on foot
for some time, led by B. D. Nc
Reynolds, of this place, for the
establishing OF a high school for
the colored people met with sue
cess before the High School Board
in its meeting of last Monday.
A committee heretofore ap-
pointed appeared before the
Board seeking the establishment
of such a school. The white peo-
pie appearing before the board in
favor of the movement were S.
H. Alexander, A. T. Stewart
and l.. P. Brewer. The colored
citizens appearing were B. D.
McReynolds, DIR. w. A. Astrapp,
John Greer, Sam Greer, Bud
Wilkerson and Mitchell Goodman.
The board instructed Chair
man McReynolds of the colored
organization to select three teach
ers to teach in a colored high
school, which would be the selec-
ton of the Board. The board
further decided to ascertain how
much money was derived from
the high school levy on property
owned by colored people and to
vote this to the school, and, also,
to aid in getting the county court
to make an appropriation for this
purpose.
Chairman McReynoIds is anx-
ious that the local cololed teach
ers will qualify themselves. to
teach in this school so it will not
be necessary to go out of the
county for teachers.
The location of the school has
not been decided.

GOVERNMENT BUILDING
ROAD AT LOCK

Work began about week ago on the
government road which connects the
Ebenezer pike with the lock aud dam.
The road will be winding, 20 as to
preserve the trees as much as possible,
and no handsome shade trees will bs
cut down to make straight road.
The fencing of the road will be done
by citizens of Marion county, who are
raising funds for the purpose. The
right of way for this road is contribu
ted by Mr.. G. Sherman, of this city,
who will install an up to-date ferry
just above the dam. When completed
this will be the most popular ronts to

How Far Is Ii To Christmas?

How far is it to Christmas? It's the Land of Dreams
Where the laughing valleys aud the eversngng streams
And the hill of doubling and along the road of smiles,
Until you reach the border of the land of otherwhies.
It's far away and is there and close at hand
Oh, earnest little fellow, can make you understand?
You lie awake and whisper you count and count the days
And try to bring it in hundred varied ways
Already you have seen it in a CLEAN of Joy afar.
Have its joy approaching in the twinkle of STAR
You hear the bells that jingle and the catter of the hoo
That time song of gladness they gaop on the roofs
How far is it to Christmas? It's not so far away
For ali know, already you have and hold the day:
1t has no time for season; it is not set apart
But sends its blessed sunshine every little heart.
