Beware of it, also unionism and fed
eration; they will tear away the
structure of your faith; fight for your
faith, use Abraham's example, stand
loyally by your sacrifice and fight
away the vultures. There is religion
enough in any church to save a soul
from hell. Don’t let angels of light
deceive you. Our Master said that
the gates of hell should not prevail
against His church, and we must show
fidelity to His cause. Any informa
tion about the Inter-Church Movement
can be had from the writer.

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.

A REAL MAN
. 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.

One year ago we met at the court
hone with a number of our citizens
and heard fx-iendly discussions of the
needs of our little city and what could
be done to make our town better.
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.
