Constantine’s Cross.
The cross was the emblem of a
slave’s death and a murderer’s pun
ishment and was naturally looked
upon by the Jew with horror. After
the celebrated vision of Constantine,
that ruler ordered to be made a cross
of gold and gems such as he had seen
and the “tree of cursing and shame
sat upon scepters and was engraved
and signed on the forehead of kings.”
Perseverance.
The tendency to persevere, to per
sist in spite of hindrances, discourage
ments and impossibilities—it is this
that in all things distinguishes the
strong man from the weak.
Fireproof Paper.
Patents have been taken out at va
rious times for paper which is claimed
to be proof against fire, and there
fore particularly suitable for docu
mentary records. Most of these con
tain asbestos or a similar mineral
fiber, with or without the addition of
clays or metallic salts.

Tile Pneumonia Season.
The cold, damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for
the pneumonia germ. Now is the
time to be careful. Pneumonia often
results from a cold. The quicker a
cold is gotten rid of the less the
danger. As soon as the first indica
tion of a cold appears take Chamber
lain's Cougn Remedy. As to the
value of this preparation, ask any
one who has used it.
Pageantry.
Daisies and buttercups gave way to
br«wn, waving grasses, tinged with
the warm-red sorrel; the waving grass
es are swept away and the meadows
lie like emeralds set in the bushy
hedgerows; the tawny-tipped corn be
gins to bow with the weight of the full
ear; the reapers are bending amongst
it and it soon stands in sheaves; then, I
presently, the patches of yellow stub
ble lie side by side with streaks of
dark red earth, which the plow Is
turning up iu preparation for the new-
threshed seed.—George Eliot.

On February 19th 1918 the
death angel visited our home and
took from us our dear farther,
Jessie E Rogers. He bore his
pains so patiently and was given
all the medical attention possible.
Despite his suffering all that lov
ing friends and kind physicians
could do was to no avail. Oh how
we miss the footsteps of our dear
farther. Oh, if he could only
speak to us one more time. It
was so hard to look at his cold
for the last time here on earth.
We are sad without him but
God does all filings well. We
know we all must strive too meet
him in a world where we will
never part any more. There is a
shadow in our home, the voice is
hushed and still, a vacant place
that can never be filled. It is
hard to bear our grief but we
would not call him back from per
fect peace and rest but take up
lifes burden cheerfully for God
does all for the best. ’Twas hard
to speak the word we must for
ever part but the memory will be
cheerished till we see thy Heav
enly face. Lonely are our hearts
today for the one we loved has
forever passed away. He was
married to Miss R. Victoria Lay-
field when a young man. There
were nine children born to them.
He was laid to rest at Hayes
cemetery. Mrs. Jim Hayes fur
nished a nice bunch of flowers.

Use Vinegar.
Use vinegar instead of water to mix
your plaster of paris; the resultant
mass will be like putty and will not
“set” for 20 or 30 minutes, whereas,
if you use water, the plaster will be
come hard almost immediately, before
you have lime to use it; push your
“vinegar plaster” into the cracks and
smooth it off nicely with a table knife.
Very Now.
A little girl out walking with her
mother saw a dog with a license tag on
his collar and exclaimed: “Oh, moth

Auditors’ Report of School
Board of Reynolds District
- March 20, 1918
To the Citizens of the Reynolds School District.
We, the Trustees respectfully submit the following report for your con
sideration, which covers the receipts and expenditures during our term of
office up to March 20th., 1918. Where the auditor’s report ment
ions some checks as having no vouchers attached these were checks given
for salaries and other things for which no vouchers were reqired.
(Signed) W. F. WEAVER.
Chairman Board of Trustees.
March 30, 1918.
Board of Trustees Reynolds School District, Reynolds, Ga.,
Gentlemen;
In accordance with your instructions, we have made an examination of
the books and accounts of the Secretary and Treasurer of the School Board,
from January 1st., 1916 to March 20th., 1918, and trasmit herewith the fol
lowing statements:
Schedule I. Treasurer’s Account
Schedule II. Detail of Receipts
Schedule III. Detail of Expenditures
Schedule IV. Cost of New School Building
Schedules II and III divide the total receipts and expenditures into dis
tinct catagories, “Ordinary” and “Extraordinary”which together make up
the total cash transactions of the period.
Ordinary includes incomes from Taxation and ordinary sources and the
expenditures from ordinary purposes, viz: Operation and maintenance.
Extrarodinary includes the incomes from the sale of bonds and other
extraordinary sources; the expenditures for the payment of bonds and loans,
and the purchase oi lands, buildings and equipment, and such other expendi
tures as add to the fixed assets.
This distribution and classification of accounts conforms with the rul
ings of the United States Census Bureau and the National Municipal Leagu s
regarding Municipal and County accounts.
We found proper approved vouchers for most of the expenditures.
We suggest that a modern accounting system be installed for use «f
the Board. The system in use at present is inadequate and makes it dif
ficult to arrive at correct figures in making up annual statements.
The accounts have been well kept considering the lack of system in use
at the present time.
Respectfully submitted.
CHAS. J. METZ,
President.
