BOYS ARE KEEPING
PACE WITH GIRLS
Equal Their Number in Graduating
Class at Atkins Porter School
This Year.

It is interesting to note that of the
fifty five of the class to be graduated
from Atbins-P Porter School on Friday
morning, at least half of the number
are boys. 1t generally happens that
the boys in graduating class are
few and far between, girls more
fortunate in their literary attain
ments" invariably out numbering the
opposite sex. So this year it is
gratifying to patrons of the school
that so many manly little fellows are
keeping pace with the girls in their
studies.
The Atkins-P Porter commencement
exercises at the school tomorrow
morning will be simple yet impress
sively dignified. AS previously an
nounced, F. E. Bryant is to address
the graduates, Prof. M. NJ. Phillips
to present the certificates.
Deep concern will exist up to this
Thursday morning, as to who will
be valedictorian and salatutorian OF
the class. Indeed, as the last exam
nation will not be given until We'd
nesday, the list of graduates will not
be announced until the day before
graduation, end until then, many lit
tie hearts will be pita-pat with anx-
iety.

juvenile Crime
Minimized When
Patterson Meet

"If parents would keep an eye on
their children and make companions
of them instead of telling them to
run along and play, there would be
less need for industrial schools and
reformatories, says G. F, Harris,
president of the Wisconsin Board of
Control. A large number of pa
rents in these mode n times, see
their children just so often, and then
for only a short time. If home life
is not made pleasant for them, they
will seek diversion outside the home,
and that neally always leads to ruin" F"
Mr. Harris states that crime among
children is increasing and finds upon
investigation in a majority of cases,
that the children themselves are not
to blame,
From all parts of the country
comes statements like this which only
strengthen the urgent need for the
spirit, which the Father and Son
Banquet on Thursday evening will

COTTON SALEIS
NOT TO Be Held
County Agent Patrick and Dan Beas-
ley Visit Memphis Market and
Find Conditions Unfavorable.
lRy ]. A. PATRICK

Mr.. D. E. Beasley and myself went
to Memphis to investigate the cotton
market. The market is good, but
very little cotton was being bought,
due to financial conditions and the
fact that the mills are keeping only
a small supply on hand. Our only
chance to sell would be to ship the
cotton to Memphis as the buyers
would not come here and buy. On
account of the slow sales, it would
require considerable expense to make
a sale on the Memphis cotton mari
ket. Storage and insurance and
commission might eat up all profits.
The commission men classed the cot
ton and gave us prices on it, They
were particular to tell us though that
it was doubtful if they could sell the
cotton for market price.
So, after investigating / have de-
cided that to hold sale here at Paris
would be out of the question, because
we could not get buyers to buy the
cotton. Personally | would not take
responsibility for shipping the EN-
tire lot to Memphis, because / fear
that the farmers consigning cotton
for such shipment might not be
satisfied with the results. However,
any farmer or farmers who wish To
place their cotton in the hands of a
commission firm for sale, / shall be
glad to help them, but l will not as
sumo any responsibility for the re-
suits. So after consulting with sew
eral of the men who h, We cotton for
sale, | have decided TO call off the
cotton sale that had been advertised
for Saturday, May Is,
County Council,
The board of directors was chosen
Saturday. A meeting will be held
soon Watch for the results.

that the walk at Lee School had not

the Walk and Yard Committee re-
ported that money for the walk had
been in the bank since last summer,
and that the delay had been TO the
inability on the part of the contractor
Mr.. Hauri, procuring labor to lay the
walk,
in spite of the high cost of living

Mrs. C. w. McGehee is chairman,
had splendid report to make. Pri-
ces for lunches have remained the

Over $1,000 has been subscribed
this week for special premiums at the
Henry County Fair September 8, 8,

advancement and promotion of ag-
riculture and livestock, who believe
the annual county fair to be the
best medium for furthering the i'm
terest in these.
An unusual effort will be made this
year to strengthen and enlarge the
agricultural display at the fair, and
as the dates of the fair are some
earlier this year it is likely that there
will be an improved showing of ag-
ricultural exhibits. Henry is emil
nently an agricultural county; and
it is fitting that the county fair
should demonstrate what is being
done here in agricultural lines.

COLORED B0ARDERS
QUIT THE SHERIFF

Jail has lost its attraction as a
boarding house for the colored race,
For the first time in 81 years there
is not q negro in Jail here, nor has
there been for a week. This is some
record, which if sustained and
strengthened by the white folks
would abolish the necessity for a
Jail.
Prohis claim the booze amendment
is responsible, others not inclined to
admit it is a coincident in that the
demand for labor, and resultant high
wages are abolishing idleness, which
is the germ of criminality, and that
the negroes are at work and out of
trouble. However, the officers have
eagle eyes skinned for the next cul-
prit, who will be treated to a spa
cious apartment in the now niger
less" Jail.

wool. Do not use oinder nor cot
ton strings.
The wool will be received at the
N. & C. depot on Friday and Saturt
day. May 21 and %. will be there
to receive this wool from daylight to
dark so come when it suits you. And
