SCHOOL RALLY AT REDDlck

Saturday, April 10 will long be re-
membered as one of Reddick's great
est gala days.
This splendid occasion marked the
closing of the Reddick school, waich
was so successfully taught by Miss
Elizabeth Mizell.
Supt. j. H. Crimson served as mas
ter of ceremonies, the meeting being
opened with prayer by Rev. Mr.. Viii
Iiams of Citra.
Prof. Fulk of the University If
Florida was then introduced whose
subject was on the great importance
of education and it's moneyed value
to the boy or girl. He said that the
recent war had brought out some
startling facts in regard to the nit
eracy of our young manhood; that
two-hundred and forty-nine out of a
thousand soldiers could neither read
nor write.
Also that seventy out of one hun
dred failed because of physical ina
bility due to neglect in childhood
showing the need of education in all
lines of life and It's relation toward
community life. Prof. Fulk's address
was most interesting and at the coz
clusion of which 1t was announced
that dinner would be served on The
grounds-and such a dinner! Just a
regular Marion county picnic dinner,
with quantities of splendidly barrie
cued beef, pork and kid.
The long table was set under the
beautiful oaks in the school yard
and around it were gathered neigh
bors and friends from various parts
Of Marion and some from adjoining
counties.
At p. m. the crowd again ass en-
bled upstairs where the program was
continued. Mr. Hunter and Mr.. Mayo
of the Marion county fair association
were present, and took this occasion
to present check for premium won
by Reddick's community exhibit, to

matO plants; it froze the top leaves
but clipped those off. They sprouted
out again and now l have them trans
planted out in my tenth of an acre.
They are just fine.
My chickens are not doing as go I'd
as they should. / set a hen the 14th
of February. I set her with IA eggs
this was the first one that l set. She
raised nine chickens. The hens ire
doing very well. win you please tn

Mr.. Shelton Phillips, the state ru-

speaker. Mr.. Phillips has a happy
way of putting cold blooded facts in
such an amusing way that carry posi-
tive instruction, becomes entertain
ing His heart and soul is in his
work and his plea Scr better rural
schools was greatly appreciated.
They have beautiful grounds, right
on the Dixie highway, where a suit
able school building would show to
wonderful advantage the progressive
ness of Reddick citizens.
Miss Mizell has always ranked
among Marion's best teachers. and
Reddick was indeed fortunate in Sc
curing her.
This was a splendid school rally
Tor a most worthy cause, and we hope
it will start somebody to thinking of
the needs of the times.
The schools and churches of cur
several communities are great fact MS
in our own lives and go long WY
toward securing new neighbors in our
midst.
Let's all boost Reddick for a new
