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.

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. NOTICE.
