fas M&ms Perry, Thursday, August 28. local news, Concerning Perry Public School. Afternoon Club Meeting. Best Way To Plant Cotton. About four weeks ago an article written by Mr. R. W. Gamble in favor of planting cotton in the water furrow instead of on beds was published in the Home Jour nal. Last week the Macon Telegraph published an interwiew with Mr. Frank Woodall on this same sub ject. Now here is more testimony on the same subject, again from Houston county. Last week Mr. Jerre H. Davis of Dennard was in Macon, and Saturday the Tele graph quotes him as follows: ° “The man who plants his cot ton on the beds is twenty-five years behind the times,” said Mr. Davis as he and a number of farm ers were talking at Davis’ ware house yesterday; morning. “I can testify to the wisdon of Mr .Wood- all’s plan. All of my neighbors are planting their cotton in the water furrow, because I demon strated to them years ago that cot ton planted that way could stand at least 25 per cent, more drouth and a longer siege of hot, blister ing weather than if planted on the bods. “I have learned another thing,” continued Mr! Davis, “Land that is broken with a one-horse plow is not broken at all. The one-horse Dixie should be thrown aside. If a farmer has but one mule, he ought to club with his neighbor and get a two-horse plow and hitch both of their horses to the same plow to break on both farms. The man loses money who dosen’t go down into the earth and make a bed that will hold moisture when a ram comes.' Change In Popular Clothing Firm. Concerning a business establish- mena in Macon, popular with Houston County people, the Tele graph says: “Messrs. Benson & Houser, the up-to-date clothiers, have dissolv ed co-partnership, Mr. Benson buying Mr. Houser’s interest and has associated with himself Mr. George H. Walker and Mr. C. R. Moore. There is no better known clothing man in Macon than Frank Benson. Mr. Walker has been in Macon for a number of years and is very popular, having been connected with the Union Dry Goods Company and Burden, Smith & Company. “Mr. C. R. Moore was with the firm of Benson & Houser for sev eral years, but lately has been on the road for a manufacturing con cern. Mr. Moore is a thorough clothing man and numbers his friends b,v the score.” ANYCHURCH or parson age or institution supported by voluntary contribution will be given a liberal quantity of the Longman & Martinez Paints whenever they paint.

Pupils are requested to be pres ent the first day of school, as it is considered best for all to start together. Those who come in late, after the work of organizing and classifying is completed, bring embarrassment to them selves and inconvenience to the teachers. They delude themselves with the belief that they can “makeup lost time,” and "catch up with their classes. The result is, they fall short in their first ex amination, then follow discour agement and general dissatisfac tion. On the first day of school it is often the case that not a few of the pupils ask to be allowed to take irregular courses, and base their requests on parental approv al. In an elementary school the selection of studies by young pu pils is certainly not a wise step, unless they are afflicted with de fective sight or delicate health. If the pupil selecting his course be a bright one, he can easily gain an advantage in class-standing, or fall into a habit of idleness, as the full course is supposed to be an approximate measurement of his student capacity. Further, if his school days end with the com pletion of the full course here,he will have need of all he has gain • ed from it. and if he .-afterwards attends college he will find him self fortunate in the possession of a good foundation. The pupils who attend this school will receive firm but kind, impartial treatment, and careful, painstaking attention. It is our aim and purpose to make the work of the year as beneficial to all concerned as can reasonably be expected. We shall try to teach the children the art of do ing things well, and to train them for useful citizenship. After school starts it is earnest ly desired that parents do not al low their children to attend any social function given between Monday morning and Friday evening. Such occasions are dis tracting to school children and seriously interfere with their work. They will be given Avork to do at night, directed to duty be-, fore pleasure, and we ask your co operation in this important mat ter. Those of our friends who may feel it their duty to criticise and complain about our methods of conducting school affairs,we trust they will either come to us or send for us, and thus by reason ing together, face to face, we may be able to avoid the evils arising from misunderstandings. Or if the strain on their patience should be too great for a personal interview with the teacher, they should bring the matter to the at tention of the Board, who will give them a patient hearing and remove the cause of annoyance. The idea sought to be presented is this: In nearly every com munity are patrons thoughtless enough to criticise the teacher in the presence of their children. Granting that the principal of a school deserves the severe criti cism, even of one who knows noth ing about the management of school matters, the child of the latter cannot remedy the situa tion, nor should his ears be used as a receptacle for the lodgment of all sorts of censorious com plaints. Then and there the child sets up between himself and his teacher a barrier that cannot be broken down. Children think their parents are perfect, and not a few parents think thus of their children. Children are the sever est critics and at the same time the greatest hero-worshippers.And yet they are often followed to eith er extreme. W. W. Driskell. Mrs. Swanson most beautifully entertained the Thursday After noon Club on the 14th. Enteriug we were so refreshed by a drink of fruit uectar, the bright cherries looking like rich, crimson jewels through the clear liquid. The game, “A Magazine of Nousense,” was a verylongjand hard one, and kept us puzzling for many minutes. Six papers were correot, so the prize, a beautiful engraving, framed, was drawn for. In the lateness some did not finish their papers. . Mrs. Will Sims bore off the prize. The refreshments were a very elaborate salad oourse and fine iced tea. What shall we say of the roses?
