BOARD ADDS ANOTHER TEACHER.
On Monday afternoon the Board
of Education elected Mias Carrie
Holmes, of Macon, to take charge
of an overflow room, composed of
the third and fourth grades. Both
these grades are badly crowded,
having about sixty pupilsin each.
There have been enrolled during
the year more than five hundred,
and there are in actual attendance
i t present four hundred and thirty
fivo. This will average more than
forty pupils to each of the ten
t aehers.
Prof. Robeson and his teachers
are working hard and have the
school well organized and are doing
good work.
It. will interest one to go down
and visit this bee-hive of activity
and to observe how smoothly the
crowd is handled.

A TRIBUTE.
In loving memory of Mrs. Dar
line Finch, who died December 24,
and was buried at Pentecost church
December 25.
For about four months Darline
has been an intense sufferer. Hie
leaves a husband and little daugh
ter, mother and father and several
sisters and brothers, besides a host
of friends to mourn her departure.
Darline was 18 years old. She was
married to Mr- Bascome Finch a
little more than a year ago.
Bereaved ones, weep not, for you
have her assurance that she is at
rest, where sorrow and suffering
will be no more. Say not Darline
farewell, but good bye till the dawn
of a laughter day. Commit all to
Him who doeth all things well. We
know He does not make mistakes.
His will be done.
Darline thou hast left us,
And thy face we’ll see no more.
You have left us sad and lonely,
But we’ll meet on heaven's shore.
Thy hands are crossed upon thy
breast;
We’ve kissed thy tender brow.
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no Darline now.
Alice and Bertha.
