q st. L. depot is progressing nicely.
The frame work is about completed and
the building is rapidly being put IN
shape as gin and mill. The material
for erecting the new structure is being
sawed by the toncern right on the
ground and it is promised that both gin
and mill viii be ready for operation
before the ginning season opens.
John Hardy of Georgia came up last
week with his daughter and spent
few days here the guest of his sister
in-law, Mrs. Lizzie Hardy. Mr.. Hardy
is brother of the late 7. T. Hardy
who was Superintendent of Fayette
county schools for number of years.
Last week was the first visit MIR. Hardy
has made to Somerville in thirty years.
He went from here to Bolivar to visit
the old family home there.
The blanks for making returns of
school children have been mailed out
by the County Superintendent to the
clerks of Advisory Boards in the sew
eral districts and the work should be
completed by the end of July and the
reports in the hands of the Superin-
tendent. These figures are the basis
for fixing the sum of school money we
get from the state and every child of
school age should be taken in the CEN
sus. The schools will need every dol
lar for operating next year and we
will not get our full share of state
school money unless every child is list
ed in these returns.
The county schools are preparing to
open the summer sessions on August 2,
and the two-year high schools that do
not want to open then will open on
Angus 80, just four weeks later. Ev-
cry white school has been given a
teacher, but there are always a few
that show up vacancies at the last
minute. If there are teachers who
want places file names with the County
Superintendent at once so they can be
assigned to these last-minute vacan-
cies. Colored teachers are scacre and
many of the colored schools will not be
supplied with teachers, as it now APP
pears, as so few of them have stood
the required examination and secured
certificates,
Charlie Morris and family of five
including himself, his wife and three
children, completed Wednesday a
course Of fourteen daily. NEGOTIATIONS
given by DR.. Morris in this city, against
hydrophobia. A milk COW in the family
herd some time ago went mad, and
later calf went mad, and the family
had fears of taking the malady from
the use of the milk before it was de-
termined the cow was mad. The
course of treatment immunizes the
patients against development of the
disease and assures them freedom
therefrom. And while it was not
thought particularly dangerous for
them, the safety they feel after the
treatment is worth many times the
cost. . ,lssif
County Superintendent w. 7. Log
gins last Friday and Saturday held
teachers examination for DO h white
and colored teachers of the county,
being assisted by Hon. j. B. Summers
and Mrs. Summers. Three white and
seven colored took the examinations.
Several other county teachers took the
examination at the Normal and at other
points. Every white school in the
county has now been supplied with a
teacher, a few not having accepted
yet however, Everything points, tho.
to every white school this year having
a teacher, but numerous colored schools
have not yet been supplied and teach
ers for these schools are scarce. Col.
ored teachers holding certificates can
have positions if they will apply to the
Superintendent. 1t now appears that
many colored schools will not be OPEN
e. this year. because of the lack of
I achers.
