Jenkinsburg School Notes
The days are flying swiftly by
and we shall soon bid goodby to
the old year. It has been a good
year in which to work and play,
but soon we must put it away in
the past as a dead year. We must
turn the leaf of the new year
fresh and clean and rejoice for
its new opportunities. Most of
us will have some regrets for op
portunities lost and time wasted.
We cannot amend the past but
the new year lies before us and
I am sure each one will have de
termination to make the coming
year more worth while than the
one that has just closed. We
shall try to grasp each opportu
nity as it is presented. We are
told:
“Wait not till tomorrow’s sun
Shines upon thy way.
All that thou canst call thine own
Lies in thy today.”
Like “Pollyanna,” we are play
ing the “Beglad game.” So we
are glad to report good work and
good behavior on the part of
most of our pupils. They are
glad that the holidays are so near.
That is as it should be, for when
we have worked well it is fitting
that we should have a season of
rest and play. And we shall be
gin work again with renewed
zeal and enthusiasm.
Tennyson’s “Idyls of the King”
is proving of great interest just
now to the senior class. There
are many valuable lessons to be
learned from the noble charac
ters here presented. It is to be
hoped that the impressions gain
ed from this grand classic will be
lasting.
For good work and deportment
Lucile Akin of the ninth grade
and Margaret Gray of the seventh
carried off the honors.

How I Grew My Acre
of Corn For The Content
By LEWIS DODSON
The following story won sec
ond prize in the County Corn
Club contests. The papers were
judged by Prof. W. P. Martin.
Lewis Dodson also won second
prize on upland, with a yield of
77.84 bushels:
After I had decided to join the
corn club I began to look over my
father’s farm, noticing what kind
of soil yielded the most corn.
Then on December 3,1913, had
fully decided on my acre. So
broke the ground with a two
horse turner about 8 inches deep.
The next plowing was on March
24 with Phinazee scooter; then
I pulverized the soil with a drag
harrow.
After letting my land rest until
April 13, 1914. ran peg-toothed
harrow over it. Being ready by
this time, I bedded it with turn
plow. Studying different kinds
of corn and from the little exper
ience I had, decided to plant Has
tings Prolific, taking care to
plant in water furrows, with rows
3 1-2 feet wide, and 12 inches in
the drill.
By April 28 my corn was ready
for cultivator and also to be re
planted. Now, the middles had
to be worked, so on May 10 ran
furrow in them with scooter and
scrape. Finishing my middles
it was due time for my corn to be
plowed again. On April 27 I did
it with scooter and scrape, at the
same time plowing in 300 pounds
of 9-3-3 fertilizer.
Watching it grow very patient
ly until June 8, plowed it again
with 18 inch scrape, applying 300
pounds of cotton seed meal. One
day while walking through it I
noticed it needed hoeing. So I
did it, afterwards plowing it
again with 20 inch scrape on June
23, applying 100 pounds of ni
trate of soda.
After waiting very impatient
ly for the day to come when it
should be measured, you can im
agine how gladly surprised I was
when I found I had made 77.84
bushels. My expense account
was $24.90 and my profit $52.94.
Hoping all the boys have enjoy
ed their year’s work as much as
I, and wishing them a happy and
mere prosperous year in 1915.
Woman Finally Recover*
From Nervous Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 211 Mechanic St., Pueblo,
Colo., says:
“For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; I was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies I
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and he procured a bottle. After the
first few doses I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles I was entirely cured. I have
been perfectly well for years and
cannot praise Dr. Miles Nervine
too highly.” .... t
If you are troubled with loss ot
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general ‘ run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
'iT'.ve failed to In Ip you.
Sold by all druggists. IT first bottls
falls to benefit your money is returned.
