TAKE YOUR MUSIC
IN THE SCHOOL.
Bear reader,, we are entering on
another school year, and as the head
of the music department, 1 am nat
urally anxious that the doss' shall
break all preiousv records In efficien
cy a® wseill as in Humberts. We have
competed for and won some honors
in this school district in spite of
the fact that same of our competitors
had advantage of conservatory train
ing, and if you will co-operate with
me wie can dto it again). However ef
\ .
ficient the work of the private teach
er may be, they do not co-operate
wii'ih each other nor with the school
and they make it impossible to in
crease the number of music teach
ers in the school. Let's have unity
in our department as we have in
the literary department. Sincerely,
W. E. Cooper.
FIRST NATIONAL WILL
TAKE CARE OF YOU.
Money to Loan at 6 Per Cent to Far
mers on Warehoused Cotton.
Mitch has beer* said of late about
C per cent 'money to loan on tillis
years cotton crop.
Winder’s leading financial institu
tion in this week Is issue tells the far
mers what ift is able to do for them
in the way of tiding them over in
case they do not wfisth to (Impose ot
their cotton, at prevailing prices.
It is not 'a 'hundred or a thousand
bales they are talking about, but Mr.
Warren Toole is authority for the
statement that the First National will
care for every' bole raised in this sec
tion, Stored in Winder warehouses at
a rate of 6 percent per annum.
We are not competent to advise
farmers what, to do in the matter of
holding or disposing of their cotton,
hnt should they wish to realize on
their cotton without sale, unhesitat
ingly \ye say the First National's
proposition, together with the reduced
storage rates announced by Rog
ers Warehouse, places Winder in the
very front rank of desirable plaoes
to store or sell cotton.
