FALL OPENING OF
NOBERG SCHOOL
With a full quota of pupils
ready for work, and a host of pa
trons brimming full of enthu
siasm that bespoke sincere in
terest in their children’s welfare
and their community’s good the
Nuberg High School, located in
one of the best sections of the
county, opened its fall term last
Monday morning. An interest
ing program had been arranged
by Prof. S. M. Owens, who is at
the head of the school for the
ensuing term, and each one as
signed to the various topics re
sponded in timely words.
After “ America ” had been
sung by the children, Mr. Allen
Teasley conducted a short devo
tional service. Talks were then
made on the following subjects
by patrons of the school:
“The Value of One Day in
School,” was discussed by Mr.
F. M. Thornton.
“How Create a Desire for Good
Literature in the Rural Public
Schools,” was the subject that
was spoken to by Mr. B. A.
Teasley.
“The Necessity of Promptness
and Obedience” was presented
by Mr. John B. Gaines.
“What is the True Aim of Ed
ucation” was the question upon
which Mr. M. M. Norman talked
“The Value of and In
dustrial Education in Our Rural
Schools,” was Mr. S. L. Thorn
ton’s theme.
Each of the’he gentlemen made
speeches well worthy of the se
rious consideration of every one
hat heard them, and the
thoughts suggested bv them
were indeed very valuable.
Hon. W. B. Morris, the county
school commissioner, was on
hand at the request of the citi
zen of the community, and made
an excellent talk on pertinent
matters akn? the line of educa
tional advancement.
Mr. A. S. Skelton,of Hartwell,
followed Mr. Morris in a few re
marks appropriate to the occasion
Nuberg is one of the pioneers
in the educational advancement
of the county, and has the repu
tation of being one of the most
thorough schools in the state of
its grade. These people are in
earnest; they look upon educa
tion as a business proposition,
and consider it a paying invest
ment to put money in their
school. They are under the local
tax system, and in addition go
down into their pockets and pay
whatever amount that is neces
sary to secure the services of the
most talented in the teaching
profession, hence they are giv
ing to their children superior
educational advantages. Their
enrollment is excellent, and their
attendance fine; their loyalty to
their teachers is worthy of emu
lation, and their devotion to
their school is just that sort that
makes of it a real live success.
This is ho flattery, but a real
fact, that ought to exist in ever
community, if perchance it does
not. xxxx

AWFUL TRAGEDY IN
LAWRENCEVILLE. GA.
Lawrenceville, Ga., Nov. 1. —
While suffering from temporary
insanity, according to the state
ment of members of his family,
but, according to statements of
others, frenzied by alleged differ
ences that may have existed be
tween himself and his second
wife, Joel 1). Wallace, one of
the most prominent merchants
and grocerymen of this place
and a former councilman, shot
and killed his wife at 2:30
o’clock this morning, turned his
revolver upon Cline his 7-year
old boy whom he killed instant
ly, shot his son, Felton, 9 years
old and then fired three bullets
into his own body killing himself
instantly.
The exact cause of the deed •
will never be known as those
who were participants are all
dead with the exception of Fel
ton, who is shot thru the right
shoulder and though he will in
all probability recover, he can
throw no light upon the story of
the tragedy. The cause of the
uead man’s deed was evidently
known only by his wife and him
self.
Cline, the boy who was shot
and killed knew nothing of the
tragedy, as he was standing by
his mother’s side holding her
hand when his father shot him
to death. Felton, the boy who
was wounded, heard no further
(eason from his father, than that
he had killed his mother. One
daughter, Miss Lottie Belle, who
reached her mother’s side saw
her father shoot Cline. She saw
him turn on Felton and shoot
nim thru the shoulder, and then
I all back lifeless on the floor as
he placed the pistol to his own
breast and sent the bullet crash*
ing thru his body that caniod
with him into eternity his secret
of the tragedy.
Members of the family say
that the tragedy was caused by
their father shooting their mo
ther while temporarily insane.
Driven to distraction by what
he had done, so the members of
t-ie family say, he attempted to
kill every one that came within
his range. Others say, however,
that his wife was of an alleged
jealous nature and tl at differ
ences had arisen Monday night
after Wallace retired. The trag
edy came without a word of
warning to the citizens of the
quiet and peace Icving town of
Lawrenceville.
