The beautiful spring" has como
and gone;
The wheat is threshed; we've laid
by corn;
And now the rovers are beginning
to roam,
To rent house or buy a home.
They are searching the country
far and near
For a good location for next year;
They want a place near town, as
a rule,
Where they can put their children
in school,
And where the grown-ups, hus-
band and wife,
Can get the most pleasure out Of
life.
Berea is the place where you want
TO be,
And Dean & Herndon the men TO
see;
You will find John Dean still ct
The Bank;
His grub being short, he's lean
and lank.
Herndon keeps up his rambling
around;
His Office is "any old place" in
town.
But when you find him, he soon
can tell
Who has the cheapest farms TO sell.
Come on to us, Wen help you find
A house or farm to suit your mind
Respectfully,
DEAN & HERNDON.

eggs and greatly reduce this loss.
The regulations TO insure this cand-
ling can be condensed as follows:
Candle all eggs bought or sold be-
tween the dates of May 18Th and
January 18th Of each year.
Farmers, country merchants, buck
sters and shippers, can easily and
eheaply save eggs and money by sell
ing them while fresh and observing
the rule that requires an egg cand-
ling certificate in every case Of eggs
put on the market.
Buyers of eggs. Candle all eggs at
time of purchase. Pay only for good
edible eggs; returning the bad ones
to producer. Keep statement Of pur-
ehases, showing number of good and
bad eggs in each lot. Put Gambling
certificate in each egg case.
Shippers Of eggs. Ship eggs as
soon as possible. See that all eggs
shipped have Gambling certificate in
case.
Receivers and Brokers. Refuse TO
accept any case Of eggs that does not
contain a properly signed and dated

COMPULSORY LAW
TO BE ENFORCED
CHILDREN IN SCHOOL AGE
MUST GO TO
SCHOOL
SCHOOL AGE 7 TO Ia
Must Go Eighty Days Each Ses-
sion And Begin AT School
Opening In The City
County Different

All children in the city of CoIum-
bus, between the ages of seven and
fourteen years, must attend school.
The compulsory school attendance
law, passed by the last session of the
Legislature, will be enforced to the
letter by the school authorities of the
city.
At meeting of the school trustees
of the city, held the past week, it was
decided that all children within the
age limits must begin school when
school opens, one week from tomor-
row, or September 18th.
The law requires that children 3e-
tween the ages of seven and fourteen
years must attend school at least
eighty days during the scholastic
year.
The trustees, after going over the
matter carefully, decided that it would
be to the best interests of the children
and Of the schools to require all within
the limit to start to school on the
opening date.
This plan would obviate the demcr-
alizing situation of children entering
classes after the work Of the term has
been started, situation which would
be disconcerting both to the child and
to the classes and routine ofthe school
program.
Under the law, it is the duty Of the
superintendent of the city schools to
report to the county superintendent Of
education all children within the age
limits who are not attending school
Parents or guadians are responsible for
the attepdance of their children.
The first and second offenses sub
ject the parent or guardian to a fine,
while the third offense is punishable
by Imprisonment.

First Of the meetings in anticipa-
ton of the organization of a new
Chamber of Commerce for Columbus
and vicinity will be a community
conference " on Tuesday evening in
the City Hall court room. Every per-
son who has the best interests Of the
community at heart is invited to be
present. There will be no effort
whatever on this occasion to enlist
members in the new chamber, the COM
mittees much preferring that no one
signify an intention to join the cham
ber until the character and purposes
of the organization are thoroughly
understood.
This meeting will be just what its
name implies-a conference Of the
people Of Columbus and vicinity on the
good of the community.
The committee in charge has re-
jected the suggestion that outside
speakers be brought to Columbus to
tell Columbus people what they should
do. "There are men right here in Co
lumbus who can do that" said Mr.. Il.
