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 FINE OPENING FOR CYRENE SCHOOL Was Began Monday with Bright Pros, pects for Successful Year TAX RATE FIXED FOR THE COUNTY $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE tter Lem J.

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: Wheres at the last regular meeting of the W. C. T. U. of Bainbridge, Ga., Mrs. Albert H. Russell, who has served as our beloved President for six years, and Mrs. Giles Toole, Correspon ding Secretary, would not ac cept their offices longer, and Whereas, these two white rib boners have been so valuable to the Union and Whereas we, the members of the W. C. T. U., appreciating the untiring efforts of success > n their respective offices Itesolved, that the unanimous thanks of the Union be tendered 0ur retiring President, Mrs. to depend on cotton for his mon ey crop. Such farming is but a sample of what can be done all over southwest Georgia. Whenever the plan is universally adopted this will be the richest section of country in the world.

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. Dr.Carl W.

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. Attention fs callecji to the ad-^ ditlon of a business departmetitL Tne main feature of this depart ment in the beginning will be the teaching of stenography and typewriting.
