Very Flourishing Sunday School
Steps Taken for New Build
ing For Flat Rock
School.

officers for New ear. except Mr
Bruce Zimmerman who succeeded
Mr.. Livingston Baily, our former
secretary. We expect never to cease
urging the importance of a good
Sunday school, for we believe 1t to
be the greatest institution on earth.
In truth, our Sunday school should
have large portion of our thought
and efforts, availing ourselves of
many advantages for keeping in
formed on the study of the Bible.
The trustees and patrons of Flat
Rock school have had very en-
couraging meeting in res ard to our
new school building. The meeting
was fairly attended with much en-
thusiasm. We are to have new
house, but am not sure as to plans.
But of course, we can't afford to
not do credit to our community,
otherwise, reflection and poor
rating would result. We have so
many families of little children a
short DISTANCE of our school. That
should be, well considered.
Mr.. George Bussey has a big lot
of Lookout Mountain irish potatoes
he is selling for seed. Mr.. Oscar
Zimmerman, has disposed of some
nice pigs, others are managing IN
like manner, so that is leading up
to the right standard of home pro-
duction, for which we. appreciate
and speak of it because we are
thankful our peoples ambition Is
for home industry.
Our school is at hard work
again, think most the plans for our
"Playette" has been decided except
date which will be announced later
We are proud cf our school and
trust Flat Rock may be fortunate
in building reputation for more
than one term holding, teachers.
therefore we might adopt the fol-
lowing lines in order for the build
ing of our new school-hoGse:
'The man who uses hook and line
Pulls in his single fish,
But who join hands and pull a seine,
Get all that heart can wish.
And each mans share is greater far,
In size as well as weight,
The secret Of success is this
COOP ER-A-T-E." !"
We are glad to report the sick
improving. No cases measles de-
veloped in our town."
Miss Ruth Zimmerman is rapid
ly improving, dismissed her yester-
day.
Our Social Circle is very much
enjoyed and looked forward to with
much pleasant anticipation. We
find since meeting in that way, our
programmes are better discussed
and more helpful. We meet with
Mrs. Lizzie Shelton 7th, prox. and
invite the ladies who are not men,
bers TO come and be with US. We
enjoy having guests at our meet
ings.
Grain is very small, but keeps
green and looks strong. There IS
quite lot of grain sown, and not
+oo late to SOW more
Our gardens have not yet recov-
cred from the black-eye" caused
by the sudden freeze last fall. But
they must not be neglected too es-
sential, if we have adopted the ad-
vice of our president. Economic
by keeping with good garden.
We are trying seed sowing in boxes,
hoping in that way to surround
rabbits, cold &C., and be ready to
transplant when the weather condi-
tions will admit.
Miss Sallie Kate Agner had her
friends with her from seven to ten
D. M, last Saturday in honor of her
18th birthday. All expressed them-
selves having quite pleasant eve
ming, wishing the hostess many
happy returns of the day.
There is a pleasant surprise IN
progress for our Y, w. AS. to fol-
low their next meeting, 80 we hope
for good attendance.

day. Also, Mr.. and Mrs. Billy

iltons,

greeted by mis- old friends on last
