News
Miss Birdie Mae Flemister of Mans
field visited her sister, Miss Flossie
Lee Flemister, last week-end.
Misses Jones and Kate Culpepper
have recovered from severe case of in
fluenza and are back at their posts.
Misses Anes Kitchens and Marie
Beadles carried on their work in her
absence.
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.

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,

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.

There was a mad dog in this sec

known. Some have killde their dogs

was killed #ifter it had gone to near
ly every house in the community.
‘ In a few days much of the cotton
acreage will be prepared. 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.
