Fayetteville High School Stars September First We have just receved the names of the faculty of the Fayettevlle Hgh school for the year 1919 and 1920, and take pleasure n pufilshng same. Prof. L. M. Lester has accepted the "Superintendent’s position. Prof. Les ter lead his class for A. B* Oegree in college and was later issued the mas ter of arts degree. He taught at Rome, Hawkins ville and Quitman and his work was satisfactory to all con cerned. He was drafted into the army and was promoted to lieutenant. In fact,' he has proven a leader in all his undertakings and has made good in all his educational work} Thfe district is indeed fortunate in secur ing his services. He is a graduate of Emory. Miss Mae Culpepper will have charge of the first grade. Miss Lennis Jones will be in charge of the second and third grades. Miss Annie Ruth Murphy will teach in the fourth and fifth grades and the sixth and seventh grade teach ers will be selected this week. Miss Alma Ward will assist in the high school work. These teachers are all graduates of the State. Normal or the Georgia Normal and Industrial col lege of Milledgeville. No high school in a similar town has a better quali fied faculty. The matriculation -fee will be $2.50 per term per pupil and payable in ad vance. This is just half what the high schools in most towns charge. The fee in most schools'is $5.00. The teachers have their work, the trustees have their work, the patrons have their work, the county superin- intendent board of education have theirs. If any of these fail in duty the school will suffer. Put your shoulder behind your school and push it until it reaches the best and help it there. We want to see every child with his parents at the school build ing Monday, September 1st. We would like to see every boy and girl in the county contemplating attending in a high school this fall also present. In another column we announce the opening of our school Monday, September 1st. The teachers all hold A. B. Degrees from the best Institu tions of the state and no town the size of ours has a faculty better qualified educationally. Any one of them could teach any subject from the primary to the twelfth grade and it will be their fault if they fail to be equal to the work so far as qualifications go. They can not not make the school what it aught to be by themselves. The trus tees have promised their best efforts. It is now up to the parents and pupils to act their part. The future men and women are the most important things we have. A part of your time is past. The future of your boy and girl is ahead. If you think most of the boy you will give him every opportunity to develop a strong mind, a strong healthy body, and a good character. Give the world this kind of a citizen and the world is made better by your having lived in it. We all see and know that educa tion will count in future. We see and know the world needs and is calling for trained men and women as never before. Every vocation is demanding better trained men and women. The world judges a nation, a state, a county, or a community not so much by the number of educated men, but by the number of untrained people in the community. Parents must make sacrifices to give their boy and girl a change. Boys and girls mudt make sacrifices if they are to make strong men mentally, physically and morally. We are going to have one of the best schools we have ever had if all will realize what our school means for the future. We repeat the most im portant crop we now have is the crop of boys-and girls'. As a town and county grow the best. Work for the best. Give them an equal training of the head, hand, heart and a strong body and they will care for themselves. Let every body go to work for the school. It represents your nterest n educaton. You aught to have a part n ts development. MEMORIAM Furniture, furniture, furniture.

Blalock Trading Unloaded Grenades Barred As Tokens New York,—Sale of unloaded hand grenades as souvenirs of the great war was declared dangerous and pos sibly a violation of the state penal which prohibits “possessing of bombs or bomb sheila,” in a letter sent to Secretary of War Baker by District Attorney Swann asking his aid in preventing sale of such tro phies. The distrcit attorney assert ed the ease with which the empty grenades could be loaded made them a menace to the community. On Monday morning, July 28th, 1919, the invisible guide entered the home of Miss Mary Lyons and conveyed a message of release to her. She laid aside her cross and entered into rest. “Aunt Mary,” as she was familiarly known, was in usual health, until a few hours before death came. She complained of being “sleepy” and soon fell'into that long peaceful sleep from which none ever wakes. Miss Mary lived her life in a seden tary position. She was so afficited ehe never knew the pleasure of walk ing and living as those who are bless ed with strong limbs. Although, helpless as she was, she made her life useful in many ways and was industrious, and endowed with intelligence. She made many beautiful pieces of haudwork, which proved her efficiency to do that which only skillful gentle hands can do. She was blessed with a cheerful disposition and used her afflictions and difficulties as stepping stones to a higher and greater life of usefulness. By her many kind words and deeds, she has established a me morial that will live as long as life exist with her acquaintances. Truly, we say farewell “Aunt Mary Your work has been nobly done. S. S.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP »•»•>•»»»•> •>«««««« A Bank account makes a good citizen. That’s a broad assertion, but it is universally true. A good citizen is one who is independ ent, self-supporting, and who does things con ducive to the best interest of the commun ity. The man who has a bank account is independent, he is thrifty, he is able to pay his way, and he contributes to the general wealth of his community. His funds are in circulation. He pays taxes and helps to make things go. Likewise a man who has money and property in a community is anxious to see that the community prosper. We pull for the man with the bank account.
