go to [i' ll;, for the cause of edu-
c ition \ibile ]»!'uly smiles upon
our fields, and tlm mind in favor-
ably inclined. Let us begin with a
county high school. Not a high
school for Gray, or any other com*
nmnity, but, a high school for
belief) t of all the boys and gi:Is of
the county. Why send them away
from the county for an academic
.education when ilm samo money
expended here would obtain the
same advantages hero for them¬
selves and at the same time put
those advantages within reach of
a vast number who otherwise
would not get them. To be more
specific, the amount spent in edu¬
cating one boy or girl outside of
the county,if spent in the coun¬
ty, would not on < .• ti
boy or girl, but won C- place tin
same advantages within easy reach
of a hundred other boys and girls
in Unto who would not otherwise
get tlieill.
Tlm people of Gray are making
a heroic sacrifice to put up a
building necessary for such a
school. They are not building for
themselves alone, but for all the
county aiid_ for boys and girls of
time to Com Since the building
will not ho for them alum*, and
because it is a movement in which
every one ought to feel pride it* 1
having taken a part, wo are ex¬
tending an earnest solicitation to
people everywhere in the county,
and out to aid.
It is not possible for ovory com¬
munity to have a Jones County
High School. We believe that Gray
affords the best advantages every
way for such a school. Let us lay
down lvSat selfishness and do that
which is fur the most good of all
concerned,
The success of tho undertaking
is already assured, because we do
not know how to fail Can any
citizen who is financially able fail
to respond?

HigJis of Autumn.
The editor of the Griffin News
says that signs ef autumn are
plentiful, and notes u few. The
proverbial)y Improvident negro
shivers under his thin cover in
the early morning and u few of
them are coming around to
dd papers with which to plaster
their houses against the wind,
Ntratv hats are selling at
price and the manufacturers are
soliciting orders for next spring,
Watermelons nre on the wane and
cunteloupes nre gone. Grapes
have supplanted peaches and old
acquaintances with the owners of
scuppernong vines are being re-
newod.
Every now and then some one
returns from his vacation, and
wonders uhy people had not miss-
- -
ed him or why it is necessary to
tell them ho has been away. -
W-men are i .arranging the moth
hulls <u their winter dresses,
Spring chickens are asking im
odds of hens ns to sizes. The red
bug has gone out of business
the season, with the
thought that he has done his du-
ty in the way of discouraging pic-
nice. Merchants nre figuring on
the fall business and planters are
watching the cotton quotations,
The leaves nre beginning to fall
and early notes, made with mie-
placed confidence will soon fall
due. Men nre saying: “No more
for me until Christmas, ”nnd then
sneaking behind the house and
taking a few single handed. The
san is getting up with lens alacrity
each morning, and the harvest
moon is getting ready to do the
yellow pumpkin actin the field of
the heartens,
