after the opening day.
Interesting and inspiring talks
were made by Mr.. Galloway, Judge

These young gentlemen have already

pills and parents.
Superintendent Dukes announced
that Miss Pye, teacher of the trst
grade. had wired that she could not
be present at the opening. Although
no further information has been OBJ
tanned she is expected to take up her
work next Monday.
The board of education held a
short conference with the superln-
tendent Just before chapel exercises
and later it was announced that pu-
pills of the first grade would be ex-
cused for this week, and regular work
would begin in that grade on next
Monday, Sept 18th. The faculty has
been completed, and was announced
as follows:
First grade, Miss Bessie Pye; sec
ond grade, Miss Dollie Highsmith
third grade, Miss Mary Yeomans
fourth grade, Miss Evelyn Smith
fifth grade, Miss Rena Parker; sixth

ing. The faculty is a very strong

ONE DRUGGIST
|NEVERY TOWN
TO GET AGENCY
Expected That Thousands of
People Over Alabama Will
Want to Start Taking
Meritone

The makers of Meritone expect that
hundreds of men and women in cities
and towns all over Alabama Will want

sired to get Meritone distributed every
where as quickly as possible.
Every druggist, therefore, is advised
that one drug store in every city, town
and village all over Alabama is to be
given the exclusive agency for Meritone
within the next 80 days. This agency
carries with it exclusive publicity for
only one druggist In each city or town.
IS A BIG PRIZE
Hundreds of druggists in many diff
Meritone exclusive agency in their
towns and consider it a rich prize.
The best druggist in each city and
town is taking on the Meritone agency.
In Chattanooga the fine Live & Let
Live store is the exclusive agent, in
Knoxville, Kuhlmann- Chambliss. known
throughout the south, are agents; in
Nashville, Demoville's pioneer Tennes-
see druggists, have the agency, and
here in Birmingham the Jacobs drug
store and Norton drug store are agents
This, however, merely shows how
quick the better druggists of the land
are to obtain meritorious preparations
for the people of their cities.
ASKED TO WRITE IN
Druggists everywhere are invited to
write to the Meritone Medicine com
pany. Nashville. Tenn, about the ex-
elusive agency.
Men and women in towns everywhere
