Perry Public School.
Next Monday, September • 1st,
the fall term of the Perry Public
School will open.
The present school system has
attracted much attention to Per
ry, and has served our people well
in affording superior educational
advantages.
The school embraces nine grades,
under competent instructors.
Prof. W. W. Driskell, Princi-
pal.
MisseB Annie Holleman and
Mary Kille'u, assistants.
The curriculum will be the same
as lsst year, but greater efforts
will be made to secure the best re
sults attainable.
The board of education and the
principal will endeavor to work in
closer co-operation, in order that
improvement may be made when
ever an opportunity for better
work may be disclosed.
Last term there were something
more than 100 pupils in attend
ance, but there is room for at
least 150 and it isjhoped there will
be a full attendance.
Every pupil who can should at
tend on the first day of the term,
and every other day to the close,
if possible.
The patrons should co-operate
with the teachers in securing
prompt and steady attendance,
correct deportment and careful
attention to the studies, in order
that proper advancement may re
sult.
If at any time during the term
there be auy cause of complaint
against any method or any act of
any teacher, the board will give
careful consideration thereto, and
correction made if the complaint
is proven to be well founde.d.
If best results are desired, every
patron should faithfully co-oper
ate with the board of education
and the teachers.
The incidental fee is small and
must be paid in advance. For
certificates call on Secretary
Holtzolaw, next door to Post Of
fice.
Two Oampmeetings.
Rev. J. W. Simmons sayB the
two Oampmeetings—Eoheconnee
and Oglethorpe—were the most
pleasant and successful held for
years—as to good order, social en
joyment and religious profit.' 1
Not a single rebuke was heard
from the pulpit. Good order and
attentive hearing was given on the
grounds and under the stands.
Quite a number added to church
and members muoh edified.
The preaching at the first was
done by Revs. McGehee, Domin-
goes, Johnston, Simmons, Rogers,
Griffith, Snow. At the latter by
Revs. MoGehee, Whittington,
Johnston, Seals, Simmons and
Bard well.

years ago from the Upper
district of Houston Oounty,
since then has been in the
goods and clothing business,
will be glad to see and serve
Decided To Have A Pair.
At about 11 o’clock last Satur
day morning a number of the cit
izens assembled at the Court
house in Perry to consider the
question of holding a county fair
this fall.
Mr. Jno. H. Hodges was chosen
chairman, and Mr. J. Powers
Cooper requested to act as secreta
ry. ....
After some discussion, it was
decided that there shall be a
Houston county fair this fall, the
exact date to be fixed later by the
executive committee.
It was the sense of the meeting
that our fair must be either im
mediately before or’ immediately
after the state fair at Valdosta.
Mr. J. E. Cheek was elected
president, and Mr. B. C. Holtz-
claw secretary and treasurer of
the fair association.
The appointment of vice presi
dents, superintendents of depart
ments and committees was left to
selection of the President and Sec
retary, with the advise of who-ev-
er they may choose to consult
with.
The work of preparation of the
grounds, selection of attractions,
premium lists, amusement pro
grams, etc., is with the officers
and their advisers. This being
well done, the fair will be a suc
cess, as the farmers and the la
dies will provide the exhibits in
good shape and variety.
Now, let the work of prepara
tion proceed with vigor.
Every Perry citizen is ready to
co-operate with the officers thor
oughly, and we dare say the farm
era are also ready.

The Cotton Crop
..OF..
...1903,
Will soon begin to be marketed. I wish to say to
my many patrons and' friends that my Warehouse
will be open, where I will give my special attention
to handling and selling all cotton strictly as in
structed. I will use my best efforts to obtain the
highest market prices at all times. Cotton sold in
Perry will net the farmers as much money as cotton
sold in any market in Georgia. My commission of
50 cents per bale covers first month’s expenses.
Bring me your cotton. I appreciate your patronage.
