Notice to High School Patrons of the County. C The Fayetteville High School has ' been designated by the County Board of Education as the “County High School” for the tenth and eleventh grades and free tuition will be grant ed pupils so classified, from any school district in the county. Patrons hav ing sons or daughters prepared to en ter these grades should take this into consideration before Bending them off to a preparatory school. We are do ing A1 work and the present prospect is that, within a year, we will have a plant, equipment and a curriculum second to none in the state. A pro gram of advancement in accord with the special needs of the people of • Fayette County, and the trend of mod ern education, is the present plan of the Board. They are busy trying to meet immediate needs, but they are also wide-awake to what the future will demand of them. Back up your own district schools to the limit and send us those you cannot accommo date. the number of deaths caused by wood alcohol. They are doing this to try to create a sentiment in favor of whiskey. It matters not what your views or mine may be, the “Love of the dollar” and the “Blind- tiger” liquor maker are the causes of the deaths being caused throughout the country today. They are giving thsee deaths to the country and leav ing widows and orphans. There are more people opposed to liquor today than ever before, in spite of the ad vertising being done by the. whiskey forces. jBetter Schools. In this issue will be found a card from Superintendent Thornton. It is now the business of the superintend ent, county board trustees, teachers, guardians, parents and grand jury to see that every child between the ages of 6 and i.4 years goes to school. If you belong to one of these classes it is a part of your “job” for 1920 to see that they go. If you have any doubt about your duty individually, read the law. The neglect of some one else will not relieve you. Whether you favor the law or not makes no difference. If you happen not to be long In one of the above classes, re member all good citizens should re spect and obey the law. The regular spring term of school will begin January 5th and continue for four months. The new compulsory attendance law comes into effect January 1st, and its requirements are as follows: “All children between 8 and 14 years of age who have not completed the sev enth grade will be required to enter school the first term (January) and continue in school for not less than six months, unless they have a rea sonable excuse for not attending; the sufficiency of excuse to be determined by the Board of Education.” Teachers are required to teach all branches prescribed by the state laws, and to comply with such regulations as the Board of Education have made, or may make from time to time. Registers and monthly reports will be mailed as requested, and monthly reports must reach this office before the first Tuesday of each month, or funds will be delayed for a month for each tardy report. With best wishes for a happy New Year, and a most successful term of school, I am, t Yours truly, E. E. THORNTON. EAST SIDE. W. T.

It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has saved a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn't afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhoood. The larg er the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confi dence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever-present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don't make the mistake of wait ing until you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE Misses Agues and Mattie Lin Kitch ens visited their sistei'-in-law, Mrs. R. G.

Several good talks were made. Our Mayor and Councilmen wo(r|e pres ent and asked to take part in this meeting. We had hoped another meet ing would be held during the holidays this year. An interesting report in that meeting was that of our Mayor. He gave the total expenditures, the debts paid during the year and that while they had no money they had almost cleared the town of debts. We recently made some inquiries of the town clerk of conditions now. We w r ere told when all taxes were collect ed there would be about fourt thou sand dollars on deposit and the town was free of debt. We appreciate the good business management the pres ent yeai\ Thi-ee years with a simi lar record we can have electric lights in our town and paid for and no bonds necessary. We need them, too. A successful business is always run on less than the income. The town officials so far as we know have always been our friends, and we have always supported them all. We ap peal to our people to think of what good management has done. Select men who will guard the finances well. We will soon have electric lights and water works and not have to issue bonds. Men of means can have elec tric lights now, but the poor man must do with his oil lamp until the town installs electric lights. Let’s show our appreciation of good busi ness management in future and do tfie beat thing. Forget self and be work er for the good of the town. D Ik EXCLUSIVE AGENCY JOHN DEERE PLOW CO.
