The General Assembly recently ad-
journed at least reduced the tax bur
den, ,pn one cla*e of .pup citizens. It
voted a reduction pf'niore than 50
per cent in' thfe' llcerihe 1 fee required of
persons whtt 1 sell fresh water fish.
Formerly the fee was 810.50 but the
General Assembly reduced it to 85.
However, the new law, as pointed out
by the Commissioner of Game and
Fish, Peter S. Twitty, applies to
eVery person who sellB fresh water
Ash. The law specifically states that

empt from its provisions. Fish mar
kets, stores and other places of busi
ness heretofore exempt are now re
quired to obtain this license.
Hie licenses are now on sale at the
office of Judge L. T. Peed, Ordinary,
and as the law is already in effect,
All persons who sell fresh water fish
are advised to obtain their licenses at

and in this memorial will try to ex
tend our sympathy to his bereaved
loved ones of whom he so often spoke.
Sometimes we hear this question
“Why does God take one from this
world that seems so useful; one that
is a picture of health; when there are
others who have been sick ior years,
who seem to be waiting to go?" Well
when we go out into our garden do
we not pluck the rose that is loveli
est, the flower that the dew shines
brightest on, the one that its green
branches are reaching out to the sun
shine and rain? That is just what God
did on the morning of Feb. 26, 1933,
He went into his beautiful garden of
Life and plucked from it one of his
flowers to transplant in the Garden
of Life Eternal, with its mansions of
light, with his glorified beings in pure
garments of white. Where no evil
thing cometh to despoil that which is
fair.
He did not live to make a living,
He lather lived to make a life,
For the measure of his succeeding
Was his service in the strife.
And all he left behind him,
When his soul had crossed the bay.
Was the good he’d done to others
All along his way.
He built a life of noble thinking,
Built a spirit full of love,
Built a life of care and patience
Built a faith in God above.
He himself was the sculptor
Hewed each of the stones,
With the Master as his model,
With his eyes upon the throne.
So at last he’s reached that city
After noble thinking, noble deeds.
And time’s course for him has ended
But good will blossom from
We have missed Bro. Hobbs at our
last two chapel exercises. We have
come to look forward to his Monday
morning talks. We hope he will come
back again.
We are glad to have Lenora Ellis-
ton, who has been absent for several
weeks, back in the senior class.
First Grade
Since Easter is almost here, the
first graders are celebrating in big
style. They have planted different
kinds of seed in egg shells, making
an egg shell garden. Then each one
has tried cutting out Easter lilies.
All are looking forward to the Easter
egg hunt Friday afternoon, because
they know what fun they will have.
The class is sorry to have Joseph
Harmon absent on account of mumps
and hope he will soon be back with
them. Because April is here and this
month is noted for its showers, the
room has many attractive borders
showing little children, dressed in ov
er shoes, raincoats and hats, covered
with an umberella and hurrying thru
the rain.
Second Grade
When you enter tills room you see
an attractive display of little rabbits
big rabbits, little chickens, eggs, and,
oh, just everything that makes one
think of Easter. Besides this Easter
spirit, which alone would make the
children very happy, the class will
have an Easter egg hunt Friday af-
.IflltKi't
Third Grade
This class is very much interested
in u miniature theatre that they are
making. The reel is “Health.” They,
too, are looking forward to Friday
afternoon for an Easter egg hunt.
Fourth Grade
The fourth- grade children are hav
ing a study on Anderson's Fairy
Tales this week,)arid they are also
studying poems and stories about
birds.
Fifth Grade
The fifth grade is very sorry that
Ralph Eubanks is absent and hope he
will soon be back with them. The
boys are leading in the spelling race.
The girls’ part of the chart doesn't
look nearly so nice as the boys’. You
better get busy girls, or you’ll be en
tertaining those boys!
Sixth Grade
The pupils of the sixth grade are
very glad to have a poet among them,
for James Harmon has indeed proved
himself to be one in composing the
poem about “Talmadge and the 83
Tag.” They are sorry, however, that
James is now absent with mumps and
hope he will hurry back to school.
The class welcomes two new members
Mary Lou Locke and Durward Theus,
who came in from one of the other
schools in the county.
Seventh Grade
The arithmetic contest was won by
the girls; so they will have to enter
tain the boys. They are planning to
have a picnic some time soon. A
spelling contest has been started this
quarter, the results of which will be
published in these columns later.
Science Department
The biology students are studying
plants. Several leaf collections have
been brought in which made the class
es realize what a great variety of
leaves there really is. The nodules on
Austrian peas were also carefully
studied. The class has a collection of
cocoons; they are anxious to see what
kind of moths will be flying around
in the room sometime soon.
Commencement Plans
On account of the depression the
Board of Education and the local
school faculty have decided to limit
commencement exercises to two pro
grams. Commencement sermon, will
be delivered at the school building
Sunday before the last week of school
while the graduating exercises will
come Friday evening of the last week
of school. Shortening the exercises in
this way will cut down expenses for
teachers and parents.
