]. d. Green, who was recently sig
nally honored by being reelected chief
clerk of the house of representatives
has moved his family to Nashville and
will reside there in the future. Mr..
md Mrs. Green and their two bright
and manly little boys have a host of
life long friends in Brownsville who
deeply regret to see them leave. The
States-Graphic joins other friends in
wishing for them great success and
happiness in their new home. ]. d. is
serving his second term as chief clerk
# the house. He is by nature and
aiming well equipped for the position
and is one of the most popular and eff
ficient officers at the capitol.
Marshal Walker says the two most
perplexing questions he has to deal
with in his official capacity are boot
logging and recklessness on the part
of automobile drivers. Bookkeeping,
he says, is on the wane in this COM
munity. He doesn't know a white
boot-legger in Brownsville and says
that most of the colored ones come
here from the country. He believes
that less whiskey is being sold here
now than at any other time since the
prohibition law was passed. He
thinks that it will take firm hand to
hold the reckless auto drivers. within
the bounds of the law and that such
action is necessary for the preserva-
ton of life in the community.
The consolidated school building at
Forked Deer has just been completed
The building committee composed of
S. 7. Humphreys, E. L. Allen and the
county superintendent, went down on
last Friday afternoon and after a
thorough inspection, accepted the bull
ding. 1t is two-story brick and a
credit to the community and county.
The three schools to be consolidated
are Forked Deer, Baucom and Lee. 1t
is expected that work in the new build
ing will begin on next Monday. There
will be three teachers and the pupils
from Lee and Baucom schools will be
conveyed to the school in wagonettes.
Our people are fast taking to the con-
solidated school idea and where it is
practicable it is the ideal rural school,
giving children advantages of the per-
sonal attention which can be gotten
only when the number of grades al
lotted each teacher is limited to what
she can do well, as is thescase in our
city schools,
