BAINBRIDGE, DECATUR COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPT. G, 19111
Sold Fine Bunch of Cattle
Mr. J, T. Humphrey and sons,
living about seven miles north
of Bainbridge, sold to Messrs.
Brockett and Culbreth Tuesday
a fine bunch of beef cattle, the
lot bringing the handsome sum
of $752.
The cattle were brought down
from their place known as the
Locust Grove farm.
In answer to some questions
Mr. Humphrey said they did not
believe in raising too much cot
ton.
. It takes up too much of the far
mer’s time to be a profitable crop
he said, and, seeing it that way
they pay more attention to rais
ing hogs and cattle for the mark
et than they do cotton. Mr.
Humphrey said he did not raise
but few bales of cotton last year,
and said he had every bale yet,
not having sold any of it for the
reason that he had never been

inized in 1906, a few months
,jfore Decatur joined the white
olumn under the local option law.
As one of the leaders in that
lemorable fight her heart was
.ptized with fire, which has
ept ever burning, for she real-
zed from the first that the pas
sage of a prohibitibn measure
was only the first great step to
ward the annihilation of the
liquor trafic, and that in reality
the fight had only just begun.
Mrs. A. J. Callahan and Mrs.
C. B. Scott are dihe only mem
bers of the old board who will
serve in their same capacity an
other year. The Union is for
tunate in being able to retain
these capable officers.
Mrs. Scott as Treasurer, has
attained a -state-wide reputation
among white ribboners, not only
for her promptness in meeting
all state obligations, but for the
wise financeering that has made
nossible much effective work by
the local Union. In appreciation
of her valuable services she was
made a life member of the state
organization by her friend and
comrade, Mrs Albert Ii. Russell,
at the last state convention, the
certificate of membership being
presented to her at the last
meeting of the local Union. With
these old officers and the two
valuable members now added to
the board (Mrs. T. C. Wainman
and Mrs. C. H. Baughman) the
Bainbridge Union cannot fail in
the great plans which have al
ready been mapped out for an
other year; for they press
forward always with
that aim which is none other
than the working out of Christ’s
golden rule in custom and in
law.
Mrs. Albert H. Russell,
Press Superintendent,
The following resolutions were
unanimously passed at the last
meeting of the ' Bainbridge
Union:

the plan is universally adopted
this will be the richest section of

Cyrene Institute began its
scolastic year of 1812-13 Monday
with most flattering pros
pects. President J. M. Stovall
and his entire corps of assist
ants are full of hopes for the
term just begun as well as for
the year.
Nearly 100 boarding pupils en
rolled Monday. Between fifty
and sixty trunks were put off
the west bound train at the
depot at Cyrene at 11:40. A
large number were put off the
east bound train which arrived a
little later. They have been
coming in all the week, and by
next Monday it is hoped the
largest enrollment in the history
of the institute will be seen.
The boys and girls, as well as
the teachers, represent four or
five states. They are there from
Florida, Alabama, North Caro
lina, South Carolina, as well as
from Georgia. A large number
of counties in this section of the
state are represented.
The exercises at the Chapel
Monday night were very inter
esting. Among those making
addresses were Rev. Mr. Clark,
of Moultrie, and Dr. White of
Thomasville. Dr. White’s ad
dress was a gem in every respect |
and was highly enjoyed by
every one.

be received in the first grade •
during the session. The reason
for this is that .should pupils be
admitted later in the session who
are not advanced sufficiently to
keep up with the class their en
trance would mean a hindrance
to the class m its progress. The
teacher can not take time which
belongs to 40 pupils in order to
assist one who has come in late,
and should the child become of
school age during the session, it
is better for all concerned that
it wait until another session to
enter school. This is a regula
tion which is followed by all
good city schools.
The request is made that stu
dents who anticipate entering
the high school classes come to
thy residence of the superintend
ent sometime during the week
prior to the opening of school so
that they may select their stud
ies and become properly classi
fied. It will be to the interest of
the student to attend to this mat
ter, and it will help in the ar
rangement for classes.
The sum of nine dollars will
be collected from all high school
students living in Bainbridge,
and eighteen dollars from those
who live beyond the city limits.
This tuition may be paid on en
trance, or half may be paid then
and the remainder about Febru
ary 1, 1913. In addition to this
charge, there will be a Fmall
laboratory fee for those who use
the material in performing ex
periments. Ihe teaching force
of the high school has been in^
creased by the addition of two
teachers, and the charges are
made to reduce the per capita
expenses.

Tne main feature of this depart
ment in the beginning will be
the teaching of stenography and
typewriting. Commercial geog
raphy and commercial law will
also be taught, These studies
are arranged as electives for the
juniors and seniors, but special
students will be admitted to
to these courses. It is desired
that this department will give a
careful business training, and
the expense of going to a busi
ness college may thus be saved.
