Henry Wilson grew four acres of
cotton last year. He has more than

operate our business.

A law that is not enforced or at
tempted to be enforced soon falls into
disrepute-for instance, the anti-tip-

has followed it. Uninforced laws
standing on the statute books breed
contempt for all other laws.

CITY SCHOOL NOTES.


We wish to express our thanks to
the members of the Parent Teachers
Association and to all our friends
who contributed books to our library
last week, We have some good fic-
ton new and some good reference
books, all of which the children are
using as never before. We are indebt-
ed to Mr.. w. S. Odle for about fifty
copies of the National Geographic
Magazine, These are very valuable
for reference work, If you have
books stored away at home and have
no children to read them, we feel sure
you would never regret it if you
would put them where dozens of chill
dren would read them every day. We
would be glad to get books from any
body at any time.
For the last two months all the
grades have been trying to see which
grade could keep the neatest room.
The contest closed this week with the
fourth grade in the lead and with the
fifth close behind. The fourth grade
will receive as their prize a framed
picture from their favorite artist
Millet.
For the benefit of our patrons out
side of the corporation, we make this
explanation concerning tuition in the
city school. Straight tuition for the
first and second grades is $500 per
month; for the third and fourth
grades, $3.50 per month; for the fifth
and sixth grades, $500 per month; for
the seventh and eighth grades, $3.50
per month, payable quarterly in adj
vance. However, if your children have
not taken advantage of the free mon
ey in your district, this money can be
transferred to this district. Then the
tuition here is S1.00 per month for all
grades. If you wish to make this
transfer, see Mrs. W. H. Montgomery,
of this place.
We were glad to have as visitors
this week Mesdames |. w., and J. w.
Patterson, of SCOTS Hill, whose chill
dren are in our school.

According to Pliny, when hunter
wished to catch tiger cubs he must be
provided with very fleet horse, and
have another in reserve. "When the
tigress finds her lair empty she darts
forth and tracks them by the smell.
When she comes up to the hunter he
throws one of the whelps to her, with
PUSHES back, and he throws another to
her; and this goes on till he reaches
his ship"

the "Physiologus" which explains that
