Georgette Crepe, white Crepe de Chine, white net
and white Organdie dresses in a bevy of unique
and pretty styles. Printed Georgette Crepe com
bined with taffeta and other silks; foulards
abound in all kinds of patterns; some are com
bined with solid color materials and others are
all-over foulards with neat patterns. Here and
there you will find a touch of varied color beads
forming a pleasing motif; again you will find
complete formatinos of pretty beads.
The new sleeves on many of the pretty dresses
are attractive and different. We are prepared to
show you a line t oselect from.
SHOWING OF MID-SUMMER HATS.
The materials used in our hats are of unques
tioned quality, the trimmings express good taste
in every knot of ribbon or curling feather; every
bit of flower or foliage is arranged to the best of
advantage —there is a charm in every line. We
feel that we have something to boast of and we
want you to know what splendid values, what
clever models we are showing: Pretty white hats
and soft summery colors are here in numbers.
Springtime’s greenery is seen in many clever
adaptions.
Ribbons, braids and feathery finery is also
used to good advantage. We match your skirt,
your dress, your separate skirt, your sweater.
We have all the pretty colors and the very latest
styles.

meat variety of style's such as we show and not
having to pay more than you would ordinarily
pay at some other stores.

ter values and more style at lower prices than

EDUCATIONAL, ECONOMICAL, AGRICULTURAL.

THE STANDARD COUNTY SCHOOL.
(Continued. >
UXDEIt the fourth head of the stand
ard county school the state hoard
of education has placed equipment,
meaning all of those things essential in
a school room that pertain to the health,
comfort and facility for teaching the
children who attend school. The first
of these are modern desks. The day of
rough board seats, or home-made seats
of any kind, has passed and It is a' re
flection on any community and county
for a school not to be equipped with
good patent desks. I am in receipt to
day of an inquiry from a graduate of
the Girls Normal and Industrial Col
lege at Milledgeville in regard to the
educational facilities of Barrow coun
ty. and wanting to know espeeiaaly
about the condition of the school build
ings and the equipment for teaching in
each building. I get these inquiries for
statistics very frequently, and regret
that I have to report conditions as
they are at present. Outside of the
three towns in the comity system, the
only school having patent desks are
Oak Grove, Tyro, Johnson’s, Liberty,
Marne’s Mount Bethel Cedar Hill, Ce
dar Creek, Maddox and Chandler’s.
All of these schools were seated by the
patrons of the school without aid from
the comity board of education. Good
desks are essential to the health and
comfort of the children, add to the ap
pearance of the school room, can be
fastened in one place and are a conven
ience to the tecaher in seating and clas
sifying the children. No district ought
to lie satisfied until patent desks are
placed in the school room. They should
he of different sizes so as to accomo
date all ages of children. The last
school house built in the county was
Chandler’s, and before the building was
finished they had raised a sufficient
sum of money to seat it and had placed
an order for desks. Another room has
been added lately and patent desks will
lie placed in it.
Every school room should have at
least twenty lineal feet of good black
board. more would he better. This
should be of material that wears slow
ly, and should be kept in good condi
tion ; that is, when written upon the
writing could be distinguished. A
wooden board is about the poorest
kind, because when it shrinks cracks
come in it. It is also hard to keep a
coat of paint on it very long without
its becoming too dim and glazed to be of
very much -service. Hlyoplato, or some
other kind of manufactured board, is
the best. While twenty feet is required
many school* have only four Jr five feet
of board and that in such condition as
to be of very little service. Usually the
less amount of blackboard found in a
school the worse the condition of that
little. There should be enough board
space to accomodate a class <*f twelve
to fourteen children at one time. The
entire class can then be sent to the
board at one time. Constant use of the
board by both teacher and pupils is
necessary for #ood teaching and the
children will be promoted in their
work faster. They learn a great deal
through the sense of sight.
Every school building should he com
fortably heated and properly venti
lated. Most of our school buildings
are in such a condition that they are
well veantHated hut ean hardly be com
fortably heated in winter , or cool in
summer. With broken panes, cracks in
windows, doors and floors they are a
menace to health in cold and rainy
weather. Lots of sickness and bad
health can l>e traced to exposure in un
comfortable school rooms in whiter
time. A good stove and a tight room
and plenty of heat can be had on a
cold day, and the building can he venti
luted to avoid foul air. There should
he a sanitary drinking system at every
school. If a drinking fountain with
individual cups can’t he had. a good
well and the individual cups will do.
A common dipper is a common distrib
utor of every disease. Healthy and un
healthy children should not use the
same drinking vessel. Asa good many
disease germs are carried in the saliva
of an unhealthy child, every time this
child drinks with the dipper it places
germs on the dipper that are in turn
taken into the mouth of every other
chihl who uses the same dipper.
Very few schools have pictures on
the walls and fewer still have the pic
fues framed. As pictures add to home
life they likewise add to school life.
The pictures should be selected by
some responsible person. Every good
picture has a story and a history, and
for this reason only the best pictures
should be used. Pictures that do not
teach something of esthetic or moral
value should not he in either the home
or t-: school. Bare " alls arc often
better than pictures that teaci noth
ing of value. A school dictionary and
a school library should he accessible to
every school child. Charts, maps and
globes are necessary to good school
work. Geography and history are dead
studies without the frequent use of
maps. A good education requires
knowledge of the map of the world and
its divisions, and for a limited educa
tion it is more essential. Our people
today would tie broader and more lib
eral in their thinking if they iiad a gen
eral knowledge of the map and knew
the size and the divisions of the world
in which we live. My observation lias
been that very few of us know very
much about the size of our own state
and country and practically nothing
about the world. In this world war
we read the names of places and coun
tries and know nothing about what
these names signify. We know that so
many nations are at war. but nothing
about the location and geographic posi
tion and location to each other. We
i can’t understand why the fighting is
(lone in eertain sections rather than iu
others, or why the German navy isn’t
; either fighting or long ago destroyed.
A good map would lie an asset to any
of us at this time. On account of mod
ern inventions the world is not as large
as it once was, and after-war condi
tions will make it essential for the
American people to have a wide knowl
edge of the world, its people and its
trade relations.

FOR CONGRESSMAN.
To the People of the Ninth Congres
sional District of Georgia:
I respectfully announce that I am a
candidate for congress from the Ninth
district of Georgia, subject to the demo
cratic primary, Sptember 11th, 1918.
I was born and reared within the
bounds of your district, and have spent
ray life in your midst and your welfare
is of the greatest eoncern to me. To
represent you in the national house is,
indeed, ail honor. At this time there
are grave duties and responsibilities to
lie assumed by your congressman.
The world is engaged in a titanic
struggle for supremacy; a conflict be
tween right and wrong, truth and false
hood, democracy and autocracy. The
United States has never yet met de
feat, although our heritage has come to
us through many a bloody battlefield
and over unnumbered slain. Our great
est effort should be to preserve for our
children and our children’s children
that freedom we now enjoy.
To accomplish this it is of the great
est importance that our people should
he true to the principles of democracy
and especially that your congressman
shall not only he patriotic and loyal,
but outspoken and persistent in their
efforts to uphold the arms of authority.
They should not waiver, nor should
they lack in that courage to go and per
form where duty calls.
True Americanism is not only an
ideal, it is a living, breathing virtue
that shall save our country. I promise
yuo that virtue, to live it, breathe it
and promulgate it wherever I go. If
you trust me I shal not fail you.
In making this anouncement I wish
to assure you that your influence and
support will be greatly appreciated.
Respect fuly yours,

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.
_-The proper food for one man may he
all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially careful
and should eat slowly and maslicate
their food thoroughly. It is also im
portant that they keep their bowels
regular. When they become consti
pated or when they feel dull and stu
pid after eating they should take
Chamberlain’s Tablets to strengthen
tin* stomach and move the bowels.
They are easy to take and pleasant in
effect.—adv.
