From Round Oak.
On my own responsibility I will
give a few figures show ing how the
public school fund of Jones coun¬
ty is disposed of. To begin with,
the county received $1,713.05 less
for 1004 than for 1903. The 1904
appropriation lacked only a few
dollars of being just one month’s
pay for teachers less than the
propriation for 1908. That being
true, one month of the public
term had to be cut off, or the pay
of teachers reduced. The teachers
of this county are paid hardly
enough to live on, consequently
the board of education s$w fit to
establish a public term of five
months instead of six, as hereto¬
fore. Some schools get a little less
this year than last and others get
a little more, and one new school
has bsen established, w hich makes
the the monthly payment to the
teachers $1,721.00—nearfy the
same as last year. Last year the
school board received the pitiable
s im of $94.00—a little less than
nineteen dollars per member fora
year's work. (I was about to for¬
got that the board received a lot
of cussin’. Suppose that would
bring the pay up to fifty or seven-
ty-fiv« dollars per mouth.)
Following is the program of ex¬
penses for 1904:
Teachers pay 5 mo’s. $8,605.00.
Pay of School Com. $600.00.
Pay of School Rouid $ 100 . 00 .
Pay for Institute $35.00.
Total $9,840.00.
Appropriation 1904 $9,438.25
This leaves a balance of $93.25.
out of which must he paid office
rent, stamps, stationery, adver¬
tising and some deskB, and also
any emergency expenses that may
arise. These latter amounts can¬
not he ascertained until the end
of the year, and if there is any
money left it is carried to the
credit of another year. The books
of the School Commissioner are
open to the public every day ex¬
cept Sunday. He wants to preach
tiie gospel on that day, but will
with pleasure stuff you full of
school doin’s on any other day.
All of my figures can be found
on his books. Come and see for
yourself if you like, however. Any
member of the school board will
tell any interested person, with
pleasure, all he can of the work¬
ings of theljoard, except the pass¬
word. The gang don’t tell that
to any one.
Last Saturday and Sunday were
our regular preaching days. On
Saturday Mr. Erwin couldn’t be
here but persuaded Mr. T W El¬
lis to use his verbal howitzer on
us, and if you don’t believe he
gave us some hot shot, ask him
what he said. On Sunday Mr.
Erwin let fly hie grape and canis¬
ter, which pot a quietus on every
one in the house except irrepressi¬
ble little Tom White, who is quite
an abbreviated adherent of Mr.
and Mrs. T A White.
Miss May Sammons, second
daughter of Rev. E. W. Sam¬
mons, has developed a case of
small pox, having contracted th"
disease from her brother. We had
hoped no other member of the
family would take it, but the in¬
dications noware that all of them
will.
Capt. D. S. Redding and W F
White are on the mend and we
hope to see them on the streets
soon.
Miss Pauline Womack of
Macon, who has been spending
several months as a hoarder at the
home of Capt. D S Redding, left
for Macon Tuesday night. Miss
Womack will be greatly missed by
the friends and acquaintances she
mads while in the vicinity of
Round Oak. Her stock of infor¬
mation is good and her conversa¬
tional powers fine.
School will open here next Mon¬
day, the 18th. We think we are
safe in saying that we have as good
a corps of teachers as any school
iu the county, and as good as
Round Cak ever had,
Christmas seems to have got out
of the bones of the people in this
section and all hands have gone
to work, which gives our streets a
deserted look.

CROUP.
The peculiar cougli which indi¬
cates croup is usually we!! known
to the mothers of croupy children.
No time should lie lost in the
treatment of it, and for tins pur¬
pose no remedy has received more
universal approval than Chamber¬
lain’s Cough Reirndy. Do not
waste valuable time in experiment
sng with untried remedies, no
matter how highly they may bo
recommended, but give this med¬
icine as directed and ell symptoms
of croup will quickly disappear.

Charley Blow.
Mr. Charley Blow died Friday,
January 8, after many months
suffering. lie wnsjjust entering in¬
to the estate of young manhood
when death claimed him. In life
won lie the lave and esteem of nil
who knew him.
He was connected with no
church but his life was exemplary
in every respect nnd his loved ones
have every reason that, lie is reap¬
ing the reward of rightjliving.
God's ways are not our ways and
those who seem most needed are
those who are taken away. Let us
try to learn the lesson of childlike
trust in a Father’s will, w ho is too
wise to err, to good to be unkind.
Charley was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. William Blow nnd wab in his
twenty-fifth year. He was en¬
dowed with a pleusing'dtsposition
and an affectionate nature and
was remarkubly bright in intel¬
lect.
The funeral services were con¬
ducted by Rev. John P. Erwin in
a toughing and impressive man¬
ner. The body was tenderly laid
to rest near the grave of Mrs.
Blow in [the Builington burying
ground.
To the bereaved father, sister,
brothers and friends we extend
our deepest sympathy. c.

The Reason
Wo sold more vehicles last year
than dealers that have been in the
business for the last quarter of a
century speaks volumes.
People are becoming more ex¬
acting ovory day. The first thing
they seek now is quulity. Tliry
noxt consider the price, That is
sensible.
That explains the whole mat-
ter. Quality and prise is our
hobby. We do dot consider
cheap vehicles at all. We decide
on the best wagons and buggies
and then buy them so we can
undersell our competitors,
We get all the discounts off by
paying spot cash.
We can prove all we say to be
true. Cal! and let us do it.
