Established in JB6O,
LEE INSTITUTE, AT LULA,
WILL OPEN SEPTEMBER 7TH.
Fourth Year of this Institution will Open with
Brighter Prospects than Ever Before.
The first term of Lee Institute,
Lula, will begin September 7th.
This is the beginning of the fourth
year of the school under its new or
ganization.
The interest in the School has
grown each year, the facilities have
been improved from time to time,
and the outlook for the school now
is more promising than it has been
in any previous year.
The local board has been, and is
now, wide awake to the best inter
ests the school. The trustees have
just had some work finished in the
way of adjusting the windows and
fixtures in the school building,
clearing oil the grounds, so that all
things now about the campus pre
sent a pleasing ami healthful ap
pearance.
The faculty elected for the next
year consists of the following teach
ers: T. W. Seabolt, Principal; Mrs.
Leone Leith, Miss Kate Carithers
and Miss Drue McCoy associate
teachers in the different grades.
The music department will be under
rhe direction of Mrs. Leone Leith,
who has made a good record in the
school teaching piano, violin and
voice culture.
The dormitory will be open to
boarding pupils. 'The building and
furniture are comparatively new,
and every thing in a sanitary condi
tion.
Pupils boarding at the dormitory
will have the personal care of the
principal and his wife. Board at
reasonable prices.
Write T. W. Seabolt, Lula, Ga.,
about board and other matters per
taining to the school.
Catalog will be sent on request.
Improvements Around the Office.
Hosch Bros. & Co. are this week
tearing away an old tenant house
that stands just to the rear of the

tion of a warehouse' for this firm
will soon be built. The European
war dosen’t seem to have much to
do with the improvment of property
in Gainesville.
For Representatives.
It is Luther Roberts and Richard
Martin. Both by good majorties.
Roberts led the ticket by 758 over J.
F. West, his nearest opponent, while
Martin led by 389.
There is no need to discuss the
popularity of these men. Their'
splendid vote attests that. They '
are two of the very best men in the ;
county.

Abwt Burning the Bah’ots.
As so much has been - id about
j burning the ballots la-t Thv <day,

i When the country nr- made
i their returns the '•mitain

as i* the usual custom. After they
had been put in the b-i-ket some
other papers were thrown on top of
them.
Ami there they were.
Mr. B. H. Whelchel. Chairman of
the County Commissioners, saw the
! stuff in the basket, and supposing
it to be accumulated trash, told the
janitor to take it out and burn it,
whi h seems to have been the usual
custom. This the janitor did.
And there you are.
Tiiat is all there is to it.

BLACKJACKS MEETS AFTER

Many Resolutions Adopted by This Grand Old
Order —Will Meet Regularly Now.
The Ancient Order of Blackjacks
met at the Castle. Fort Peeler,
Sandy Fiat. lasi Saturday night,
pursuant to call from President Sut
ton, and santracted other business
besides swapping crow.
Brother Dink Shoobub ottered lhe
following resolution:
"Whereas our beloved Order was
split on candidates to represent the
Common People. Blackjacks, Rau
sum Gitters, Chairwarmers and
Revered Sons of Rest, in the late
primary, and
“Whereas the skillet can not call
the kettle black, whep they are all
black as the ace of spades—and
“Whereas, we can all chronicle a
book of lamentation that would lay
Jeremiah's in the shade; therefore,
"Be it resolved, that we do rub
the crow in as easy as possible, and
when thoroughly digested that we
take a meal of Garlic, chasin it
witii a dose of assattddity which, will
remove the taste of the crow, and
leave one that can not possibly be
more offending."
Brother Case Morse seconded the
motion and same was carried.
Brother Buck Allen met with the
order and staled that he would like to
have the contract of furnishing the
Sosation watermellon< through the
month of November and December.
His motion was referred to the
Committee on Light Refreshments,
and the following report was handed
in:
“We. your Committee on Light
Refreshments, beg to report that we
can not serve two masters, that we
love one and hate the other. There
fore. watermellons as light refresh
ments are not even as palatable as
crow; therefore, we recommend that
those brethren who eat watermellons
shall call upon brother Allen in
person, and those who take other
refreshments will have no use for
the mellons."
After serving refreshments, with
an ice course, rhe meeting adjourned
to meet again.
