They Open a Private One
With 52 Pupils.
Cain's district in Barrow
county is filled up with live
public spirited people who be
lieve in education an dadvance
ment in all lines and aue ever
ready to do things.
Messrs. T. A. Deaton, J. D.
Carter, R. A. McEver, W. D.
Lancaster, J. W. Parks and
others are the moving spirits in
establishing a private school
l ids year at Sharon, in a com
munity where many of the
smaller children were too far
away to attend the publfc
schools located in the district.
This private school opened
with 52 pupils, 22 of them be
ginners, which shows it to be
a thickly populated section
that needs and should have a
public school established there.
They employed as their
teacher Miss Lemon Wayne, of
Flowery Bruch, a very accom
plished young lady and splen
did teacher, and the school is
doing fine and growing in fa
vor.

Keep Smiling.
Tlappiness of heart nnd sonl can
be willed. It is psychologically true
that the laugh which Is at first forced
may later he made genuine. Try it.
Try reading the joy column of the pa
pers and magazines. Treasure the
good ones and pass them on to friends.
Don’t destroy a play because it is for
laughing purposes only. Hunt such
comedies and tell others of them.
Start every day in good humor, with
v. smile. It will help brighten the day
for others.

some object embraced within
the view to make a contrast. I
am particularly anxious to se

The advertising campaign
now Jieing conducted by Mr.

view of attracting returning

greatest importance that the

tle delay as possible.
This is not the season for
making particularly desirble
pictures, and I shall be unable
to do justice to our great state
