Again the time has arrived for us to pay our poll tax of SI.00. The poll
ax is a State tax used for education and is payable each year between Oc
ober 15th and December 19th to the tax collector of the county.
T. E. Tharpe of Byron is the Peach county tax collector and will be

le will be here also on the 17th, 18th and 19th; according to law he will have
o be at the county court house the last three days before the tax books close,
Any woman who has returned her tax and fails to pay the $1.00 by Dec.
10th will have a fi fa issued against her and that will mean an additional
>1.00, so take the tip and go down to the court house on Thursday before the
ns Iqjfcas rush makes you forget it, and then dismiss it from down your mind and
hen voting time comes Y'OU CAN VOTE. When, you go be sure to
igister and you will be qualified to vote in all 1926 elections.
The paying of your tax does not register you for city elections. Be sure
u are registered both at the court house and the city hall if you wish to
le ip all elections.

Well all thirty-seven of us journey
ed down to Marshallville last Tuesday
night to help our boys defeat the
asparagus town boys. After waiting
forty minutes for a referee coaches
Smith and Wight decided to pick
them a separator out of the audience
as the fans were becoming—a little
impatient and the writer’s feet were
becoming a little cold. Mr. Cook was
the man selected to referee and a
very good one he made. :
Marshallville Scores First I
The Marshallville quintet took cl _
l oa d on Fort Valley early in the game j
and scored two field goals for four
points. Then and there the Valley
boys tightened down and tied the
score. Marshallville took the lead
again by shooting a foul but Nichols
soon knotted it again.
The Smith boys were way off in
their ringing the basket but they were
right enough to defeat Marshallville
IS to 13.
Bill Carithers might be called the
Nick Altrock of the indoor sport for
he is for ever making some wild
swing with the ball thus causing his
opponents to wondefc/what he is go¬
ing to do. He is the best defensive
guard in the peach belt.
The writer is anxious to see the ;
students of Fort Valley Hi secure a
nick name for the Fort Valley quin
tet. Say, hold a contest and pick the
best name sent in.
You never learn much from anyone
whom you can read like a book. !

either are married or are not married.

BEAUTIFUL
ROSES—PLANT THEM NOW
That the rose is queen of all deci¬
duous flowering shrubs is not ques
tinned. Its wide range of colors and
varieties, its blooming period that
includes all but the winter months
and its ease of cultivation make it
easily the favorite. No garden is
complete without them and for this
reason landscape gardeners invari¬
ably include them in their home plant¬
ings.
While the wise is very adaptable it ■
likes best an open exposure, a well
well fertilized clay-base soil
and frequent cultivation.
Set the plants in a hole of ample
size an inch or two deeper than they
were before. Press the soil down
firmly about the roots and water
them thoroughly. Then fill the hole
not quite full of more soil adding a
mulch of leaves or straw. If the
plants are not already pruned, cut
out the weak branches and cut off
the strong ones six to ten inches (de-:
pending on size) from the ground.
Of the many varieties that have
been grown successfully in Fort Val¬
ley the following are recommended: I
White—Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, I
Fral) K;lr j Druschki, Bride, Cornelia
Coo!;, Maman Cochet.
Yellow—Sunburst, Lady Hilling¬ !
don, Etoile de Lyon, Dudley Cross,
Alexander Gray. f
Pink—La Fra incdj Johnkeer Mock,
Radiance, Mmet Caroline Testout,
Bridesmaid, Mamon Cochet.
Killar Paul Neyron, Helen
Duchess de Brabant, Los An
Minnie Frances, Mrs. John
Red—Radiance, General McArthur,

Brunner, Meteor, Mme. Lambard,
Papa Gontier.

ANOTHER GAME
FOR
Thursday evening at 7:30 p. m.,
Golden Tornado will lock horns
thc Montezuma Peached in
game of half foot-ball and half
ket-ball. This game is to be played
the Fort Valley court and is in reach
of every man, woman, boy and girl
in Fort Valley and the suburbs. The
Fort Valley High team has been
, feated twice
this season by the
Montezuma Aces and if you are will
ing to see Montezuma get their Water¬
loo just come out. and see Duke of
I Wellington Nichols, with his staff
composed of H. Murray, H. Hafer, R.
Murray, and Wm. Carithers,] strut
their stuff at the expense of
eon Haugabrook and his congress of
Mr. DeVaughan, Riddle, Vincent and
Lockerman.
The last game with Montezuma re¬
quired three extra sessions to decide
the victor but the locals h^ve decided
that only thirty-two minutes of
actual play is all that will be neces¬
sary for their victory.
We feel sure that Mr. Jimmie Fa
Jr., the former All Southern
Forward, can be assured that the
whole faculty will pull for their team.
