Well, here's news of last week, 1t
was kind O. hard to think of much
to write, because there isn't much.
The latest fad of the boys is spank
ing each other with paddles which
they made during manual training
lessons. The paddles have small holes
bored through them, which makes
them sting pretty bad. The boys have
to watch close because some one else
may give them a good walloping when
they find a vacant SPOT
The II had the half holiday last
month, and the IL decided to try for
it but when the weekly record came
in it was wreck" for IL. She had
8 votes against her, so it seems the
III will not get the half holiday if it
keeps up like that.
We haven't received our Current
Events yet, but we are still expecting
them. The IL hasn't received it's pen
Gil sharpener, either. but they say it
will be here before May, 1917. The
~ is in need of pencils already, what
they had they chewed up in their pen
Gil sharpener.
Thursday Miss Keith gave the 18th
grades poem of eight verses to learn
and it is going to be pretty hard to
learn. Some one said we didn't have
sense enough to learn it, but we are
going to show them soon.
The boys have already made lots OF
rabbit traps and are still making them.
Molly Giddings said that Mr.. Smith
told the boys he dreamed about rab-
hts. Mr. Mathis says that Mr.. Smith
must have been eating weiners to have
so much dog in him.
The girls are getting along fine in
their domestic science work. they
have cooked rice twice ana it was Ge-
licious.
The III has some beautiful winter
bulbs started and we are sure of
progress. They have eight pots OF
bulbs and two bowls. The bulbs have
sprouted and are three inches high
They have, too, pots of ferns. which
have been doing fine so far.
We are now studying complementary
colors in our art work and have al
ready made one or two sketches.
The Grammar school is hoping to
have one holiday during the Macon
fair, but we don't know whether we
are going to have it or not.

DOUBLE OF GENIUS IS
At TELEPHONE MEET

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 2S.-"Marh
T'wain's Double" is the sobriquet ap-
piled to Dr. Thoams Benjamin Doolit-
tie. of Boston, Mass, inventor of the
process of making hard-drawn copper
wire. who is one of the Telephone Pho
neers of America attending the an
nual convention Of that organization
in Atlanta today.
DR.. Doolittle has a shock of white
lair that crawls down over his fore
head as fast as he brushes it back,
and has a white moustache that
droops at the ends. and has eyes that
Sparkle with humor, and has a COM
pleXion that is tanned from exposure
to sun and wind and rain on the golf
course so that his general appear
ance, both in the flesh and in a pho
to graph is strikingly similar to
Americas greatest humorist. In fact,
so strong is the resemblance that his
photograph published yesterday in an
Atlanta newspaper brought a number
of telephone inquiries to know if the
paper hadn't in some way gotten HID
of Mark Twain's picture and used it
by mistake in the group of pioneers.
Or. Ioolittle's process of making
copper wire made posi-
bic the long-distance telephone, as
previous to his invention copper wire
was so soft that it would fall OF its
own weight when strung for any con-
siderable distance. He is one of the
many interesting characters attend
ing the convention of pioneers.
Col. w. T. Gentry, president of the
Southern Bell Telephone Co., of
this city. and the other officials of
the company are giving the pioneers
a taste of genuine Southern hospi-
taiity on a lavish scale. They were
rendered banquet last night at which
the Southern Bell presented each Pho
neer with a handsome de luxe edition
of Uncle Remus stories, and today at
/ o'clock the same company gave them
an old-fashioned Georgia barbecue at
the Druid Hills Golf club.

EQUINE DISEASES LURK IN
PUBLIC DRINKING FOUNTAINS

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 2S.-That indi-
vidual drinking cups for horses will
be required by law in progressive
communities in the not distant future
is the belief expressed by prominent
members of the local Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. 1t
is pointed out that equine diseases are
transmitted from one animal to an
other through the medium of drinking
fountains and that one if the surest
means of preventing infection would
be to require each animal to be fur
nished water in an individual drink
ing cup.

All the northwest is watching Mon

according to word received In Helena
from the state university at Missoula.
1t is declared that the experiment to
previously entirely separated and dis
tinct, Is one of the only experiments
of its kind that has ever been attempt
ed, and that educators throughout the
country will watch results closely.
Chancellor E. C. Elliott has submit
ted to the state board Of education a
tentative budget system to account
for expenditures and receipts of the
institutions. The budget, worked out
to the most minute detail, shows the
cost for each department. The board
has authorized the chancellor to pro-
coed with the work.
Members of the board, it is said,
have expressed the belief that the
new system will eventually lead to a
new system of appropriation-one
lump sum being appropriated by the
legislature for the schools, the mon
ey to be expended as laid out in
the budget.
The board has granted DR.. Elliott's
request that an executive secretary
be employed at a salary of $4,000 a
year to look after the financial af-
fairs and other details of the institu-
tions, while the chancellor will de-
vote his energies to upbuilding the
