Miss Clarke with about twen ty of her eighth grade pupils and several guests including Miss Red- fearn and Miss Johnson, spent the day out at Person’s Lake Saturday. They left at 8-30 o'clock and all hiked out to the lake. When they got there everyone was hot and tired, ready for a dive into the cool refreshing water. The party carried a picnic lunch and at 12 o’clook the table was spread with plenty of good “eats.” During the day many trips were made to the spring where plenty of delicious spring water is available. What fun they did have going down the narrow trail admiring the ’beau ties of spring! Having been refreshed by another good swim, everyone was ready to hike 'back home at 4 p. m.

Their little sis- j already planning another for next ter’s name was Jean Wright. Sam I year, was 7 years old, James was 5 and i Jean was 3. They were all so happy. They had a beautiful home. While they were still doing what they were, the levee was slowly breaking, the wind was slightly blowing. The water was coming quickly up. The dogs in the village were barking. Some of the people tried to get out but it was too late, for he water was coming higher and higher. Mr. Wright saw that the water was coming up. Mr. and Mrs. Wright were trying to get the doors and windows locked. Their children were coming down crying and calling for mother and dady. At last the water was so high that they had to go up stairs, then the water rose higher so they got on the garage. There they stayed until someone could come after them. At last a man from the Red Cross came in a boat and got them. He took the to safety. They were so happy to get to safety. The Red Cross people built tents and furnished the people with food and clothing. The water at last went down. The Wright family went back altho they had a hard time getting to living right again. iBut they got everything in order at last. LE PIQUE-NIQUE FRANC! AS BUTLER HIGH NINE VS.

Tuesday afternoon the Butler High nine played the Butler Town team and were defeated 8 to 7 in 13 in nings. It was a very close and hard- fought game throughout the playing. The town team broke up a pitching duel 'between Herman Hill of the town team and William Adams for the school. The score was five until the 18th when the town team combined two hits and quite a few errors to score three runs. The school got only two runs in their half so the game was over. The pitching was the feature of the game with Hill striking out 13, while Adams made 16 men go down swinging. There was quite a few errors on both sides. A double was the long hit of the game. Those playing for the town team: Ulmer Stevens, Herman Hill, Harley Riley, Jr., <J. D. Locke, Hughlan Chapman, O. B. Bankston, Fiokling Harris, John Pennington, James Har mon and Otis McCants. School Team: Morris Saunders, George Roberts, Aaron Oreizin, Win- dell Windham, Frank Riley, Edgar McGee, Jack Hollis, Milton Ohildres and William Adams. Miss Branch with her second year French class and their honor guests spent a most delightful time at Per son’s lake Thursday evening. They all went out to the lake about 4-30 o’clock in Jason Eliiston’s school bus. Swimming and boat riding was en joyed 'by those present. At sunset a most appetizing plate was served to all present, after which some went boat-riding and others played fiddlestick. Those present were: Miss Branch, Miss Martin, Mr. Oxford, Mr. Jack Bankston, Dorothy Brown, Pauline Cooper, Otis Hill, Margery Walker, Ben Persons, Leila Willis, Jason Elliston, Ethel Jarrell, Edward Law- horn, Eleanor Booth, John Penning ton, Lucy Booth, James Bazemore, Ruth (Bazemore and Frank England. DIARY OF THE WEEK UN-INTELLIGENCE TEST 'Monday: The Seniors gave a few scenes from their play in chapel. The graduation invitations came. Tuesday: The school sympathizes with Mrs. Edwards in the death of her brother, Mr. F. W. Perkins at his home in Perkins, Ga, Superintendent Folds made an an nouncement that all high school stu dents may be exempted from final examinations with an average of 75, if their deportment grade is an “A”. The town team defeated the school team in a .baseball' game this after noon. The Seniors gave their play to night. Wednesday: Strange odors have been bothering several of the teach ers and numbers of the pupils today, the result of a recent innovation popularly called "stink bombs.” How ever swift retribution descended on those guilty of bursting the things, and we hope the odors will remain a part of the school’s past. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that the 'bombs were kidney pills. We feel that we’d almost rather die than take them. Thursday: It rained today and was so dark that it was difficult to study: All the classes were shortened and the school was let out at noon. This afternoon the French class had a picnic at Person's Lake. Friday: Several students are ten derly nursing their arms because of typhoid shots. The high school base ball team and the town team are playing again, and planning a game next Tuesday with Ft. Valley. Plans were made by the ninth grade to have a picnic at Person’s Lake next Friday. Here's hoping they will have fair weather. usua lty set WALL FLOWER IS” 1. A potted plant against the wall. 2. The bloom of the wal-nut tree. 3. A large flowered design used to paper walls. 4.

It's the course she has other excelling quail- money you haven’t spent that keeps enough lor one ties, but these are article. To illustrate what 1 say: Who can find a greater illustration of sacrifice than Hannah, the mother of Eamuel. Hannah was a barren woman. For a wife of that day not to ibe able to bear children was the greatest of all calamities. Hannah’s grief was great. She took it to the Lord 1 in prayer. God heard her prayer and gave her a baby, and she named him Samuel. She promised God that if He would give her this boy she would Tend 1 him to God all his life. When Samuel was about five ydars old she took him to the priest, Eli, in the Temple and told him the story an~ left her boy there to be trained for servive in the Kingdom of God. And he made one of the greatest servants God ever had. That was sacrifice on Hannah’s part. Patient service can be illustrated by every normal mother. I think of my own mother here. She had all the mother responsibilities of ten chil dren that she raised to" maturity. She would get up early and work until late preparing and cooking food, working, washing and ironing our clothes, taking eare of us when we were sick. All with but little fuss. Patient service! Most mothers stay behind the curtain and do the drud- gery while their loved 1 ones are on the stage and getting the applause. Without her we could never make it. Mother’s love is nearer kin to the love of God than any other love in the world'. The mother of Moses looked into his precious face and saw that he was a goodly child, and did the impossible. Your mother and mine went down into the very jaws you out of the 'breadline. It’s the re serve of Faith in God and Love lot Man that holds people steady in times of stress. All this is so simple and' so true that it looks like eveiybody but a bom olunce would build up these re serves and 'be ready for life’s emer gencies. Abounding energy is but fha overflow of stored up vitality. Dig nity and great deliberation when not false front is just another name who is overworked. Maybe so but f doubt it. (Many of us 'are busy whirl ing like a windmill in a gale but wa are not really working. Nervous ten sion and hurry in dealing with trifles is not work. It’s jitters which will sooni kill people where real woitc would lengthen their days. The mam who knows how, “never to 'be unem ployed 1 nor triflingly employed” has considerable reserve of time and en ergy to put out on real work. There’s a great cry today for that elusive and transient thing called am curity. Whatever margin of it jam may have will be found in the money you haven't spent and not in tha money you are going to make. Your mind may get downright happy over the prospect. Your back will credit you for a long time but your stomach demands cash settlement and it’s the reserves of cash you have on hand for old age or exhausted vitality. Yet ' that foot8 tbe bj ,f instead of living sanely so as to live long and 1 well a large part of the world is careful only in keeping down surplus fat when it peps up the nervous system into the jitfers with alternating excitants and se datives which so often ends in heart failure.

None ofus are bdg enough to save a world and the world wouldn’t let u£ do it if we were.

Oocassionally I hear of somebody need and building things you cannot use. “The Kingdom of Heaven is with in you.” So also are all other king doms of every sort whatsoever.
