between the County Board Of

The school board in the corpor-

convenient to a number of pupils

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS URGED TO TAKE OUT COVER.
NMENT INSURANCE.. PARENTS And GUARDIANS
SHOULD ASSIST IN NSURINC SOLDIERS.

war insurance is a measure of
protection against loss of health
and accident or wounds in the
service that no soldier or sailor
should fail to obtain.
The cost is exceedingly small,
the average being about sixty
five (65c) per month per thous-
and of insurance. A policy for
$4,000. providing liberal annui.
ties in the event of injuries sus-
tanned in line of service, will cost
about $3.50 a month. Almost
any soldier can pay even for the
maximum amount of insurance
Where soldiers or sailors do not
themselves procure and pay for
the insurance their parents or
guardian can do so. And ap-
peal especially to the parents and
guardians of the man in the SER
vice who have not or will not
take out this insurance them
selves to act and act now before
it is too late. Every parent
should ascertain at once whether
his son has yet procured the in
surance and if not make applica-
ton for him. All eommunica-
tions should bc addressed to
Bureau of War Risk Insurance,
Washington, D. c.
Provision must be made for
the future. Our Government
has undertaken in the most hui
name and scientific manner ever
known to look after and take
of its heroic defenders. Ever
where soldiers and sailors have
no dependents they should tax,
the insurance because it provide
against injuries which they ma!
sustain that will incapacitat,

TEACHERS EXAMINATION.
My dear Superintendent:

My dear Superintendent:
The next state examination for
teachers will be held March 15
and 16. If possible have all who
expect to teach in your county
next year take this examination.
The July examination is too late
for teachers who expect to teach
in the Summer or Fall term.
Let US try to have our schools
taught by teachers who hold cer-
tlfcates and thus eliminate tenn
porary certificates.
Sincerely.

school, hence the County Board
made a boundary line aronnd the
corporation and transfers the
children within this boundary to
the corporation, with the under
standing with the town board
that the children within this
boundary must have as many
days free school as the other
children in the county have.
The scholastic population of
Gaiaesboro is l42 whites. The

same. After deduciing from the

net uneasy.
The corporation Of Gainesboro,
aside from what school money it
gets from the county, pays a
school tax Of 22Acts on the hun
dred dollars worth of property
and $I.00 extra on each poll.
This amounts to $500 or $1,000 a
year.
! think it generous and COM
mendable In the citizens of Gain
esboro to say to the youhg men
and young ladies in the county,
come to Gainesboro to school,
your tuition will not cost you any
thing. the corporation pays it.
Do you admire such 4 public spir-

When there Is a good school In
your own county, where you can
send your sons and daughters,
are you loyal to the cause of
education in your own county.
when You send them out of the
county to school. They can get
such training in the county as
they need for teaching and other
vocations in life.

FARMERS AND STOCKMEN
help WIN The WAR.
Raise More Hogs During The
Present Year.

The patriotic farmers of Tenn.
essee are asked to increase the
production of hogs fifteen per.
cent in 1918. This is about 100000
more hcgs than was produced
last year.
The famers of Jackson county
are called upon to do their part
in this increase. This can be
done, First by breeding more
sows gifts now, and taking care
|of the young pigs when farrow-
ed. Second, by stopping the
shipping of shoats to be slaught-
cred. They should stay on the
farm till they weigh 200 pounds
or more. This would mean more
money for the farmer and more
meat for the army.
wish to say to all local buy
ers, that you are asked to assist in
this conservation of brood sows,
gifts and small shoats. Don't
buy and ship them to market.
Advise the farmers to raise more
hogs and better hogs, and we will
have more and better hogs to sell
next fall and winter. Rememb-
er the government has fixed a
miniunm price on hogs of $3.50
per hundred pounds, Chicago
market. They won't be any low
er than this, and likely to be
higher, We can afford to raise
hogs at a price like this.
Let every farmer add from
one TO three brood sows to his
herd and help roll up the pork
ers. When the pigs are farrow-
ed set all up all night Gf neces-
sarv) and assist the SOW in TAX
ing care OF the pigs. Many new
ly farrowed pigs die for want Of
proper attention. This is not so
near as hard as the task our boys
in France are having these long
cold night, standing watch in the
trenches, not knowing at what
minute the Germans will attack
them. They are doing this for
you and me. surely there is moth
ing too hard but what we can do
for them.
Lets go after the Kaiser with
the sow and pigs. Meat is scarcer
than powdar. bullts and guns.
and a fighting man cannot fight
without food, and meat is what
he needs. Let every farmer in
Jackson county raise more corn
to enable him to feed more
hogs. This will be more
money to you and more food to
fight the Kaiser with. Let all
pull together and put the Kaiser
out Of business a t the earliest
possible moment.
Respectfully,
G. L. Dueney.

U. S. SOLDIER WRITES
FROM FRANCE.
Believes War Will Be Long
Drawn Out Deal.
Somewhere in France,
Nov. II, 1917.

We left Detroit late in July
and had quite an extended voy-
age across. Ran on a reef the
third day out of port but got off
safely at high tide and limped in
to our first port which we had
passed during a heavy fog. Laid
up there week for repairs. We
passed through England in a
hurry. The newspapers announ-
ced our arrival there, and had a
wild trip across the English
Channel. We crossed during
the worst storm in several years.
This. | suppose, was to make up
for the calm voyage across the
Atlantic. The captain almost
gave up the ship on this last leg
of the jaurney. 1t was a hard
little trip alright and when the
pile of baggage tipped over and
made a great racket we thought
we were making our last trip for
sure.
We marched into a rest camp
in France late one night thru a
heavy rain and had some lunch,
after about a week on bully
beef" (corned-beef). hard bis
cult, cheese and jam. These
rations are the typical travelling
rations of the army the beef re-
plading the bacon of former tim
es. The food coming across the
ocean was not very good, and
the quarters crowed. but we liv-
ed thru it alright and landed in
England in excellent shape. We
had to wear life preservers con-
stantly for the last few days at
sea, but fortunately saw no in
solent, ill-mannered subs. But
to return to rest camp proposi
ton. We marched out again the
following morning, some of our
clothes still wet, and marched
about three miles to the train.
We spent two days and a night
on the train and detrained at
very picturesque little village
about dusk and were billited in
borns and hay mows. Cur first
job there was to clean up the vii
lage according to the U. S. army
ideas of sanitation. The people
at first did not understand our
ideas, but our interpreters finally
got them to understand it was
O. X. and believe me we put in
some month of cleaning and
drilling.
Then one day, much to my
pleasure and surprise, was
picked out to journey -- ward
to this part of France. We were
glad so be away from the barns
and drill and doing something
real. We had a fine trip by mo-
tor truck and | fell in love with
the country on the way here.
We are now quartered in per-
manent buildings and have real
cots and mattresses to sleep on.
We have and and draughting
room i'm a store building and
come up to it in the evenings to
read and write. In short we are
having snap" of it JUST
NOW. but attendreZ.
Each Sunday we make little
trips around and take in as much
of France as possible. This
seems te be the only way we are
to see the country. Last Sunday
| made a trip to a city where
there are some old drawbridges
over moats, and old battlements.
We also saw an old gateway
built by the EOmans. 1t is read
lily understood that we see very
many old buildings and villages.
