FOR MISS
EDITH LUSK.

EDITH LUSK.
One of the courtesies of the week,
which will compliment Miss Edith
Lusk, is the Five Hundred party with
which Mrs. Alma E. Upp will enter
tain on the evening of Thursday, at
eight o'clock.
A number of bright pre-nuptial af-
fairs viii be given for Miss Lusk,
one of the prettiest and the initial
affair in her honor, having been that
which Mrs. Ebert Clubbs entertained
at her home on Blount street.
About the five hundred tables,
which were placed on the porch and
the lawn, were seated Miss Lusk, Mrs.
Ernest Lusk, Mrs. Harry Lurton, Mrs.
Frank WeIles, Miss Florence Marston,
Mrs. Harry Brooks, Mrs. J. C. Hester,
Miss Lille Williams, Mrs. James Ger
elds, Mrs. ]. H. Bickerstaff, Miss
Occie Clubbs, Miss Name Willis Dun
can, Miss Lucille Boyer, Mrs. Roscoe
Wallace. After the game Miss Lusk
was presented with a bunch of pink
roses tied with green tulle, the green
motif having been carried out also in
the score cards and in the details of
the dainty salad and ice courses, which
were served after the game.

This is due partly to the decreased
cost Of hauling and partly to the fact
that good road makes the farm a
more desirable place to live.
Moreover. improved roads have q
market effect on both the amount and
character of production. For exam
pie, around the typical small town,
when the roads are not improved,
truck gardening, dsirying and other
forms of intensive farming are con-
fined to a small zone, Immediately
surrounding the town, which is usu-
ally scarcely sufficient to supply the
local demand. Without good roads
the production Of perishable goods at
any considerable distance from mar
ket or shipping point is too hazard
Gus an undertaking to be profitable.
With good roads the produce can be
brought to market with regularity and
In prime condition, two essentials in
successful marketing.
The parcel post makes possible d.
rect marketing between producer and
consumer regardless of distance. But
here again the public roads play no
small part. affecting not only possible
extensions Of the system, but also the
cost of it's operation.
The condition of our rural schools
is closely connected with the condi-
ton Of the public roads. While it is
true that various factors contribute
to increase or decrease the attendance

TO COLUMBUS
BY AUTOMOBILE.

Mr.. Dudley Chipley, who with his
wife and aunt, Miss Kate Jones, ar
rived in the city last Thursday, to
be the guests of Mrs. C. NJ. Coving-
ton, left yesterday for Columbus, Ga.
Mrs. Chipley will remain for some
time longer on a visiy 10 Mrs. Gov
ington and other relatives here. Mr..
Chipley was accompanied on his re,
turn trip by his aunt, Miss Jones, and
his cousin, Miss Ethel Suter, who
will visit Mrs. John Maxwell. Mr.. and
Mrs. Maxwell are making their home
on a country estate near Columbus,
Ga. The trip from and to Columbus,
was made by automobile.

country, 1t is q well-k known fac: that
in our rural schools the attendance
almost invariably shows q marked de-
crease during the periods when the
roads are bad. Another point worthy
of consideration is that the one-room
school is being supplanted by larger
consolidated schools throughout those
portions OF the country where condi-
tons make 1t practicable to convey
children to school at the public ex-
pense. Roads passa Bile at all times
are most necessary for successful
school consolidation. There is abun.
dant evidence to prove that any ex-
tensive road Improvement is followed
by better schools aud better school
attendance. In some Of these schools
advanced courses have been intro
duced, and 1t has been possible to
employ teachers having special quail
ncations and training.
With good roads, some Of the ad-
vantages Of the city can be brought
to the country. Social gatherings be-
come more frequent, and improved
social conditions exert a decided eff.
feet upon the principal objections to
life in rural community-loneIiness
and isolation.

COOK-WILSON WEDDING
MONDAY EVENING.

A pretty home wedding, and one
in which there is much interest, was

q - estimated that the people Of
tAis country annually waste $3.50, 00o,-
600 because of bad roads. Investiga-
lions have shown that the average
cost Of hauling on roads in the United
States Is 20 cents per ton per mile.
Il costs the farmer more to haul a
bushel Of wheat "a miles, the average
distance from farm TO shipping point,
than It ordinarily costs to ship it
from New York to Liverpool In
France, England and Germany, consu-
lar reports show instances where the
cost Of hauling agricultural products
is rs low as 10 cents per ton per
mile. II the farmers of this country
could reduce the cost Of hauling to Is
cents per ton mile, they would save
about $3.50, O0o,00O which now repre-.
sents their mud tax"
The benefits OF good roads are nu-
merous and far-reaching. They are a
powerful factor In promoting better
farm conditions throughout the coun-
try. They make the farmer more in
dependent Of seasonal and weather
conditions and permit him to take bet
ter advantage of favorable market and
prices. They increase the value OF his
farm and so enhance his material
wealth. They promote better agricul-
tural methods and are necessary for
an efficient rural delivery and parcel

FERRY PASS NOTES.

The past week has been a very
strenuous one in our community, three
days having been given to the closing
exercises of our school. Wednesday
nights program was the presentation
of ''Hiawatha" by the pupils of Miss
Darsey; a monologue, '"The Village
Dressmaker," by Miss Lizzie Jones; a
play, "a Pleasant Afternoon at Mrs.
Bloodshaw's," by six girls from Miss
Smiths room, followed by 'The Sun
Goddess" a story of old Japan, in
pantomime, Miss May Jones reading
the play.
All did their parts admirably and
the audience was very appreciati~e.
During the evening Mrs. Bessey and
Miss Darsey favored US with some ex-
ceptionally fine music; a piano duet
and song by Miss Darsey.
Thursday night the pupils of the
primary grade gave pretty cantata,
''The Flower Nymph's Surprise" The
stage was beautifully draped with
garlands of flowers, and as the little
tots so gracefully moved about, wind
ing in and out, they presented scene
of indescribable beauty.
Following the cantata was a mono
logue by Miss Minnie Langley, "The
Rural Telephone" followed by a play,
entitled, 'Pa's Picnic" by the older
pupils.
Mrs. Bessey and Miss Darsey gave
two beautiful piano duets between
stage changes.
We are greatly indebted to Mrs.
Bessey for the assistance she has
given in every way, but especially
with the music
The pupils all did their parts we'll
and when they assembled Friday
morning for the final closing there
was a feeling of satisfaction pervad-
ing the crowd. The audience each
night was large and Friday morning,
as they assembled, there were to be
seen many faces of those who were
one time pupils at old Ferry Pass.
The Excelsior club entertained with
short program after which, dinner
was announced and enjoyed.
After dinner, Mr.. w. A. Blount, Jr.
gave US a short, but most interesting
talk.
There was but one graduate from
the eighth grade, Mr.. George Langley
who received his certificate. Mr.. Ed
wards and Mr.. Herrider came out late
having been unavoidedly detained.
The Afternoon was spent mostly In
social chat, all seeming 10th to say
the bood-bye, which was to be final
to our beloved teachers. Their worE
has been thorough and conscientious
and we would gladly retain them i
we could. They have worked togeth'
er with no friction whatever.
The enrolment was one hundred
and six, and the average attendance
lightweight. In the primary grades
the pupil attaining the highest gen
eral average, was little Bennit
Haynes, with an average of ninety
six; in the intermediate grades, Bessie
Jones led with an average of ninety
four, and in the higher grades, Nea
Morris and Harry Parazine, of thu
seventh grade, carried off the honors
with a general average of ninety-si1
each.
One thing that helped greatly il
our stage setting was the pretty land
scape scene, painted for us by Mr.
Rasmus Rasmussen, and which W.
used with such good effect for /;
background.
This year has been one of the me S
successful our school has ever known
