He had come to this mentsin both curricula and equip-1 section of Georgia by request of ment, and it is a very great pleasure to announce that ar rangements have been made 1 whereby a high school education is placed within the possibility of attainment for the hoys and girls of Bainbridge under very favor able circumstances for efficient results. some counties for the purpose of making some recommendations as to both road and bridge work. Having heard of the good roads of Decatur he decided to come into the county and see for him self. Mr. Koch was taken in charge by Mr. J. W. Callahan and shown over most of the roads of the 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. Preaching at Mt. Zion P. S. Cummings. Rev. Andy Moore of Baker county will preach at Mt. Zion church on Saturday and Saturday night before the first Sunday in August. The services may be continued for a few days of the following week. Everybody cordially in vited to attend.

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.

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.
