SCHOOLS OPEN
THIS MORNING

What is thought to be the largest
registration in the schools Of Aledo
was made this morning when the
portals of the educational institu-
ton were opened.
Superintendent Ray c. Pellet
stated that he expected even more
to appear during the week for study
this year.
A definite count on the number
enrolled was not received, but the
number was estimated in the high
school at about two hundred. The
grade schools expect to have con-
siderably more in attendance this
year than last.
The morning hours today we're
given over to outlining of the work
for the year and in securing books
by the children. All classes were
dismissed this afternoon so that the
students might attend the chautau-
qua in this city. Regular program
will be started tomorrow morning

Progressive Dairy Growing.

Mr.NB. R. Tillman of Trenton
should be congratulated on the show
ing that his herd of Jerseys is max.
ing. We notice that Princess Mae OF
Orange was placed on the official
Honor Roll published monthly by
Clemson College. A cow, to be put
on this honor roll, must make re-
cord of over 40 pounds of butter fat
per month, which means over 46
pounds of butter. Princess Mae OF
Orange, during October, made re.
cord of s03.3 ponds of milk and
4O.1 pounds of bitter fat.
One should fee. proud of such cat
tie as Mr.. Tillmai, now has. His herd
will mean much for his community
and county as well as himself. He has
recently bought from Virginia eight
COWS of high records and breeding,
one COW having a record of around
900 pounds of butter per year.
We also understand that Mr.. F. F.
Rainsford also is doing good work in
the dairy industry. We hope to see
his cows appear on the honor roll
soon.
