HIGH SCHOOL TO
HAVE PAPER

The Monticello schools have
long enjoyed a reputation
envied by many larger towns.
The schools have in many cases
been the decisive factor in bring
ing new residents to our town.
One Of the most excellent
characteristics that has marked
their success is the progressive
ness of the schools.
A splendid feature has been
added this week in the form of
paper, edited and published by
the students. The name of the
paper, THE Monticello Hi Life,
is very suggestive. A strong
staff, whose names appear in the
School Notes, has been select
ed. We feel that each one is
well qualified for his position.
We predict for THE Monticello
Hi Life" great future.
The patrons of the school are
urged to cooperate in every
possible way to make this paper
a success. It will mean much to
the student body and will be of
material benefit to those taking
part in its publication.

LOCAL PAPERS TO HAVE
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Mr.. F. w. Whiteside, Supt of
the Monticello Schools, has
arranged to have items of school
interest published each week
through the local papers The
writing will be done by students.
Miss Louise Hardy will write
for the Advance ard Miss Char
lotte Daniel for the Monticello
MAN. Patrons of the school will
find these notes well worth read
ing.
The Monticellonian feels. very
fortunate in securing Miss
Daniel as correspondent. She
is exceptionally well qualified
for work of this nature.

SWEET POTATOES FROM
S. E. ARK. GREAT IN
QUANTITY AND QUALITY
Many Farmers Have Grown
Them Successfully This Sea-
saa.

The soil Of this section is
wonderfully adapted to the
growing of sweet potato
This is clearly evidenced by the
immense tubers that have lately
been brought in from various
points for display. The Union
Bank and Trust Co, have for
some time had two of unusual
size in their front window.
The largest, we have seen,
however, as one brought to
this office last Saturday by
Mr.. W. r. O'Briant from the
Carter neighborhood Il mile
north of town. 1t was of tn
golden yam variety and weighed
8 3=4 pounds. Mr.. O'Brianl
stated that when first takar
from the ground some week
ago, it actually tipped tn
scales at eight pounds.
After all however his : ~
or less a freak product. That
Mr.. O'Briant was abb to rai
more than two hundred bushel
Of potatoes Of normal size on the
same acre of ground from
which this one was tak1n is .
matter that is very much NOR
worth while.
VIM. Harris, principal of the
colored school, today brought
to our office some samples o.
what can be grown. The larges
Of the TO II weighed four pounds
the combined weight was twelve
pounds. Harris stated thai
from a quarter Of an aore he ex
peeted to get 50 bushels,

REV. GLEN BAKER DE-
LINERS ADDRESS TO STU
DENTS OF STATE SCHOOL
Stressed Opportunity Foo Help
full Service In Home Com
munities.

1t was the privilege of the
editor on last Sabbath after
noon to have the very great
pleasure of attending the after
noon service in the little chapel
Of the State Agricultural
School. Attendance was volun-
tary, for the students had been
having their Sunday School the
hour just preceding; yet upon
dismissal numbers of them
singly and in groups FASTENED
across the campus, soon filling
the chapel completely.
The service was in the high
est sense of the word an inspi-
ration, for every thing about it
was suggestive Of the hopeful
ness and buoyancy of youth.
How those students sing One
fine young man stepped to the
front to lead and all joined with
a will in the song service. Then
for about thirty minutes they
sat in rapt attention while Mr..
Baker with the fire and en-
thusiasm of a young prophet
spoke to them upon the words
of the youthful Isaiah, when by
revelation he had caught the
vision of the great need of the
people of Judah and answered,
Here am /, send me-
In the clearest way Mr.. Baker
held up before this splendid
group of young men and women
the needs of the rural communi-
ties of this fine old common
wealth of Arkansas. He showed
how her agricultural resources
are capable Of almost unlimited
Development under the trained
leadership and the expert
guidance that will become IA
valuable when these young peo-
pie now being educated go back
into their home communities, if
only they go with this vision of
service. The vision must be
one which will lead them to
work not only for the material
development along scientific
lines but for the intellectual and
spiritual upbuilding of the peo-
pie as well.
AS one looked into the eager
upturned faces of the audience
there was every reason to be-
lieve that the good seed was
falling in fruitful soil to spring
up later producing an hundred
fold. Yes these young people
are destined to revolutiOnize
rural live in Southeast Arkan-
sas. Reverently we say, Goo
bless them in their work !"

Negotiations were taken up and
as a result Prof. Garner, his wife
and talented daughters came to
make their contribution TO the
/ life and culture of the com
munity. In their work they
were ably assisted by Miss Alice
Patton, a very brilliant young
woman. who was one of the first
women of Arkansas to take the
A. B. degree at the State Univer-
sity. Miss Patton taught math-
ematics. Miss Annie Garner
who was the music teacher is
now Dean of Women OF the
Oklahoma A and NJ College at
Still Water, Oklahoma. Miss
Virginia Garner another popular
member of the faculty later
went as a missionary to Japan
and her sister Miss Leila, who
was also one of the teachers,
married a Presbyterian minister,
Mr.. Rufus Hammock, brother
i of Mr.. Ed Hammock of our
city. Mr. and Mrs. Hammock
now lives near San Angelo,
Texas.
Under the efficient manage
ment of Prof. Garner the school
gained such reputation that it
was necessary to erect a large
school building and to open the
very best homes of the neigh
borhood to the boarders who
fiocked in.
The high standard Of the
school is shown by the fact that
the late j. c. Knox. after finish
ing the course Of that schoo!
was able to enter the Junior
class of Central University at
Richmond, Ky. During the years
that Mr.. Garner conducted his
school some of the people who
have been and are the leading
men and women of Monticello
received an important part OF
their educational training there.
Among others we might mention
Messrs. Lee Hyatt, Jac! Curry.
Dave Wells, Felix Robertson, Joe
Lee Allen, J. c. Knox, A. J.Posey,
w. A. Cocker; Mesdames Effie
Knox, Robert Knox, Y. J.
Trotter. Sam McCloy, J. K. Shell,
J. M. Cavaness; Misses Magic
Shelton, Mollie, Lizzie, Maggie
and Annie Patton, Mention
should be made too of DIR. Mabel
Wells who afterward graduated
from Wellesley, and Johns Hop
kins, of Revs billiard. McElhen-
ny, CIowers and others. But
time and space do not permit
tracing out the record OF the
many splendid lawyers, doctors,
ministers. merchants and farm
ers, who after getting their
inspiration there, have gone
forth and wrought nightly for
God and Native land.
There are many who though
not students still remember with
pleasure the delightful enter
tainments which featured the
close of school each year and
were the great social event OF
the spring season,
SO it is easy to see from this
brief sketch what a tremendous
power for good in the social, in
tellectual and spiritual life of
that community and the sur
rounding country this Sunday
School has been during the last
sixty years.
