Most of those who have been ab sent with attacks of flu, have returned to school and the attendance seems a bit more like normal. The last few weeks of the term must be turned to ood account to insure a pass, especial ly for those who were unavoidably ab sent. Athletics. The whole school combined 1 some days ago to put the rouflds in order. They paid especial attention to the base ball and tenis grounds. It is respectfully requested that the public, in driving to the school door, use only the front driveway in order to save the drainage ditches constructed at the cost of great time and effort. Basket ball has given way to base ball. Four teams have been organ ized, namely: the Maroons and the Whites, the Grays and the Blues. The former- teams yvill play a game each Friday afternoon and the latter two on Thursdays. Besides these there are numbers of other junior games always in progress. Mr. W. N. D. Dixon’s Visit. We were delighted to have with us last Monday morning Mr. Dixon, the county demonstrator. The main pur pose of his visit was to awaken inter est in the Corn, Pig and Poultry clubs. His speech was to the point and well- received. He struck the key-note of Fayette county’s progress when he said that “We are essentially a farm ing county. That our progress, if we make any, must be made largely in that line. 2. “That Fayetteville must lead if Fayette county is to go forward. i. “That education and co-opera tion are the things that will win for us.” There never was a truer diagnosisi and prescription. When Mr. Dixon comes back, to our school, we are go ing to have a big club list for him. Only a. few more days to enroll jiour boy in a club the present year. Those who have tried the Broad Base Terrace are pleased with the re sults. They prevent weeds, and give several feet more ground for cultiva tion. It puts the ten-ace to producing farm products instead of weeds. A good pasture will save many dol lars’ worth of feed in a year. Now is the time to begin. Bermuda, Dallas and carpet grasses and Lespedeza are recommended for our section. Wehre co-operative potato storage houses were erected last year, they are shipping and selling potatoes to the sections where one was not built. Mr. D. J. Price of Brooks has pur chased a nice Shorthorn Bull from one of the best herds of the State. Sand Creek. I hereby announce my candidacy for Tax Collector of Fayette County, sub ject to the rules of the Democratic Primary. I shall he grateful for the support of the people. Respectfully, . J. H. STEPHENS. WHEN THE WAR IS OVER I am glad the war is over and the hoys are safely home, They always have something to tell us about and think about when they’re alone: They spend most of their evenings talking tbout- something they did in the war, And tell what they did to’make the Fritzies sore. The hoys will tell of the French girls and the Belgians, ’too; But the ones they all stick to are the ones in the red, white and blue. By CLIFTON CARTER. Rev. W. W. Walker filled his regu lar apopintment here Saturday and Sunday.

As for the boll weevil, we all know if there had been a remedy, he would have been dead and out of the South many years ago. There are some recommendations with which we can comply and every one should do this. We all know that good preparation pays. We all know that fertilizers psed properly pays well. We are told by those with experience that plowing and picking squares every week helps to prevent damage, and we should so plan our cotton acreage so as to this. We all know we will need feed whether the weevil does much damage or not, and if we grow this feed we will not have it to buy. We know w will need meat and w can plant crops for hogs that will save the money next fall Ave have been paying for Red dog shorts. We need to keep a cow, have a good garden and potato patch. These ar all necessary things to insure a sue cessful farm for the present year. Won’t you co-ofierate and help make this a prosperous year in old ayette? Everybody is taking a wallop at old Hi Cost—with their tongues... That’s easy... Tongue work costs nothing... But the dealer who actually puts it into effect is the man you are looking for. But that is exactly what we are doing. While prices are continually going up elsewhere, we are pains takingly keeping them down at this tsore. Every time the wholesaler raises us a cent or two we lop off another cent or two from our already slender profits. We are skating on thin ice, we know, but we are determined to keep our own prices down, at all costs. ■Fa DRY GOODS quality anywhere. -Our great variety enables us to please everybody.
