RANDOM NOTES By Old Caesar. We failed in getting the names of Rev. and Mrs. W. B. and Mr. and Mrs. C. B. English last week as among those who made their home at Sowhatchee. The school in 1901-1910 did well in attendance, but after that time in difference commenced to develop among a few that caused a great falling off in every way. The local tax was voted out, which left the school in had financial condition. At this time the school demanded three teachers, as the population was rapidly increasing and the number of children was such that with three teachers a fine work could not be accn^phslieu.

Accompanied by the efficient and genial marshal of Blakely, Mr. Carl Hobbs, they went to a negro house to look for it. On entering the house a negress made to run. Mr. Hobbs stopped her, and on sight of the pistol she pleaded so pitifully and with an outburst of tears, and they decided she was innocent. But get them to finish the story. We believe Mr. Carl Hobbs is an upright and truthful man and owns a very clever dog, but that ten pound trout and thirty-five cents in change sounded extremely fishy to ns.

And again we understand that we are to have a Rock-Hilton Consolidated school — but not district —in the future. It is strange why those three gentle men who were elected trustees for the Rock-Hilton Consolidated School can not get together on a suitable place for the building. While they are supposed to have level heads and abundance of good judgment, they make us think of three hound pups all pulling for the same hone for their own interests, not thinking how it may hurt the majority. If it could have been left with some disin terested party and politics kept out, it would have been erected at Hil ton —the right and only place for it. Then it could carry its true name which was given it by the Superin tendent and one of the leading trus tees, Rock-Hilton Consolidated School. We do hope that these three wise men will get together and start the ball to rolling and give the children the benefit before they die with old age. Don’t forget the name, Rock- Hilton Consolidated School. SNAKE. 4 22-inch Ginghams, worth 20c a yard, our price 23c, at CHANCY’S. TAX LEVY FOR 1924.
