It is, perhaps, only natural that
some confusion and friction should
result from a change in the offi
cials at the head of any institu
tion. This is especially true in
school affairs. Therefore, in order
that confusion and friction may
bo nt tho minimum, it is essential
that no radical changes bo made,
hut that only such changes be
made as are justified by wisdom
and experience.
As the superintendent-elect of
the Sandersville High School, I
wish to assure the people that I
come in the spirit of harmony, of
co-operation and of good will. I
am not a revolutionist whoso bus
iness it is to pull down and re
construct according to narrow
personal views, but I accept cheer
fully and willingly the foundation
already laid. 1 shall be happy if
only 1 am able to enlarge and
push to completion the work
already begun by my worthy
predecessor. Toward the realiza
tion of this aim I. shall lend all of
my energies, and I ask the hearty
response and co-operation of every
patron and citizen.
It is my purpose to move to
Sandersville as soyn as conditions
will permit, and to become thor
oughly acquainted with the people
before school opens. But in the
meantime let every patriotic citi
zen bestir himself in the interest
of the school. Let all be assured,
too, that the present high stand
ard of the school will, at any cost,
be maintained during the coming
year. No effort or pains on the
part of the ^superintendent and
teachers will be spared to secure
greater efficiency in every depart
ment. Those of us who take up
the work in your midst for the
first time, ask only for the oppor
tunity and a reasonable length of
time in which to prove our wor
thiness. This we believe you will
give, together with hearty and
loyal support. J. M. Stovam,.
Everyone is in the scramble for that
Dollar. Many of us lose our health
and more than all else lose our souls
in the mad rush for that Dollar. Who
is the most wretched man on earth to-
day? It is the rich man. No man ev
er obtained riches by being a spend
thrift. Now if you will be rich anyhow
we can show you the way. Go at it
in a business like way.
Economize! Economize!
All the time by giving us a part of your trade
at least. We have put our prices so low we
can not afford to book goods. We did not
adopt our system of doing business because
we are afraid of everybody. Far from that.
There are just lots of people who are not
worth a dollar that are just as honest as they
can be. We have adopted our system feeling
it is best for all concerned, merchant and cus
tomer, and we hope no one will humiliate
themselves and us by asking us to book goods
