making some recommendations
as to both road and bridge work.
Having heard of the good roads

An Enjoyable Occasion
A sumpteous supper and water
melon cutting was enjoyed by a
few friends, who were envited
out to “Holyhurst” the home of
Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Brackin,
Tuesday night.
The night was an ideal one for
such an occasion, and all declared
it to have been one of the most
enjoyable gatherings of the kind
they had attended in a long time.
The pretty home is situated
just outside the city northeast,
and is among the most lovely
places in this section.
Among those present were
Rev. Walter Anthony and Mrs.
Anthony, Dr. Carl W. Minor,
Mrs, T. C. Wainman and P. B.
Butler, of Bainbridge, and Mr.
Will Whatley, of Dothan, Ala.
The needs of the school have
been twofold: (a) physical equip-i count y from one end to the other.

and (b)
force. Both of these necessities
have been provided for. The
school will not be able to utilize
the more advantageous physical
equipment until January 1913,
both the office of the old build
ing, and the former art room will
be used till that time. So it has
been planned to open in Septem
ber for the reception of students
in all of the additional courses of
study.
The high school teaching force
has been increased by the addi
tion of two teachers. The super
intendent will teach the history.
Mr. F. 0. Black who taught in
the school last term has been at T
tending during the summer
months a business college in order
to prepare himself to teach steno
graphy and typewriting. Mr.
Black will be Head of the Busi
ness Department, and he will also
teach the Latin. The addition of
a business department i3 a step
toward vocation training. it
will embrace at first a course in
commercial geography, commer
cial law, stenography, and type
writing. These studies will be
open to junior and senior stud
ents, except that provisions will
be made for special students.
Commercial geography treats of
the production and distribution
of food and clothing, and also of
shelter. The relation to life may
be readily seen. So are steno
graphy, typewriting, and busi
ness law very closely related to
modern business life, and their
values as studies are apparent.
Mrs. F. P. Barney will behead
of the Department of English
and Literature, and under this
department French and domes
tic science will be introduced.
Mrs. Barney is spending her va
cation at the University of Penn
sylvania to better fit herself for
her duties. The domestic science
will prove of especial value to
the girls, and it is calculated to
cause the boys to live longer, to
possess more, and to be happier.
Miss Marie Craig will be head
of the Department of Mathema
tics and Science. Miss Craig is
an A. B. graduate of Winthrop
College, and she has five or six
years successful experience in
high schools of good standing.
The improvements made in the
school curricula do not merely

NEW PATENT FOR
DECATUR MAN
Yearter Secures Patent
Cham Attachmats
M New
Mr. W. W. Yearta, living a
few miles above Bainbridge, has
obtained a patent on a churn
cover, dasher and rod, that is
about the best thing of the kind
yet gotten out.
The new patent has every
feature of the old “dasher” sys
tem, but can be operated with
one fourth the exertion required
under the old system. In fact,
it is so easy to oi>erate that a
child can work it with ease.
Mr. Yearter, and all others
who have seen the machine, be
lieve thnt it is the best chum
natent ever invented.
Mr. Yearter is speaking of
having the plant to manufacture
the churn located at Bainbridge.
He is now in communicating with
parties looking to their manu-*
facture.
It is believed Mr. Yearta‘has
in his new invention something
if properly worked that will
bring him in a large income.
To Whom it May Concern
As there has been considerable
discussion as to my attitude on
the prohibition question I wish
to state, that I would oppose any
move to change the present law
unless it is first submitted to the
people.
Respectfully,
W. G. Harrell.
