I am now enrolling the members of the several clubs and am sure you have some one in your family who should become a member of the coun ty agricultural club. It will encour age and inspire your boy with renew ed interest in his calling. He will prove by his efforts that a useful and profitable yield can be had from an acre of land and, at the same time, have that acre improved in fertility, which is real farming. He will natu rally proceed to apply the same pro cess to other acres and live stock a3 his age and experience advance and thus become a farmer who raises prof itable crops and at the same time im prove the land on which they grow. I I would like to have every family represented in some of the clubs and promise you my best efforts to make it profitalbe to him. W. N. D. DIXON, County Agent. Boll Weevil.

NEWS— Miss Mae Culpepper of the First Grade was out of school part of last week, owing to illness. Miss Jewell Burks carried on her work fo rlier. The importance of regular and prompt attendance is being emphasiz ed in our school. A certificate of award wil lbe given those who attend the remainder of the town without being either absent or tardy. The girls’ basketball court has been completed and they are learning the game. From now on the year will be di vided into two terms or semesters. This change has been made in order to make the report and record system more convenient. Examinations will occur twice a year instead of three times as heretofore. A new school house is what we are all thinking about now. We hope nothing will occur to disappoint us next fall. We can think of a thousand improvements that we can easily and cheaply install when we have the place to put them. The new building, above al ltliings, should be large enough to admit of the installation of the branches of vocational work that the federal and state government so egnerously support. ATHLETICS— The athletic situation has slightly changed since Christmas. The sys tem of promotion in athletics has been instituted. Several of the members of the Maroons and the Whites h&ve won their letter in basketball and have organized a school team. It has not yet been decided whether they will accept any of the numerous chal lenges they have received from neigh boring teams. The main difficulty is transportation* If this could be solved for one game, we would ar range for one series with Senoia. In the mean time we go on with our intra-school games. Several mem bers of the Junior Teams have been promoted to the Maroon or White teams and their places filled by new ones. The Orange tern ais a new one and lucky from the start.

An airplane jassed over the outskirts of Brooks Friday. We could not tell whether it was occupied by a Mr. Somebody or Mrs. or Miss, owing to the altitude and rate of speed. If it had a number we failed to see it, but I suppose they are not governed by terrestrial laws. Rev. Lucious filled his appointment at the Christian church Sunday.
