Davis. • A fine .crop" of syrup will be made in this coun ty, despite the extreme dry wea ther of the summer which cut the crop somewhat short. J. A. SCRUGGS & SON | niLLARD SGHOOL NKWS MAKES LIBERAL OFFER TO FARMERS Our efficient millers, Messers J. A. Scruggs & Son are offering s:>me inducements to the farm- e/s of Ra,bun county to sow more wheat next year. It has been long known that the south does not get the best grades of flour but that the off grades are shipped south. Messers Scrugg are offering to loan any Rabun county farm er seed wheat which has been re-cleaned and of the best grade of wheat. The only condition is that if the farmer makes a crop he is to return the same grade of seed wheat without interest. They also offer to give a pre mium of five dollars in gold for the best bushel of wheat grown in Rabun county in 1925. They propose to get a government standard tester with which to test the wheat in order that the test may be fair and impartial. Of course, there is a reason for the offer that Mr. Scruggs is making. The reason is that he has orders for more Rabun coun ty grown flour than he can fill. Other people who have tried out the flour made here are anxious to buy the entire output, of the mill but not enough wheat is grown in the county- to. supply the demands, hence the ctffer.' But then,’why not sow wheat? It will pay as well as any other crop and requires less work than most crops that can be grown and it insures the grower of the best and most wholesome grade of flour to be had. If you are interested go to Mr. Scruggs and talk the matter over with him and get a bushel or two of seed wheat. \ Other than the offer mabe by Mr. Scruggs, The Tribune is of fering a years subgfcriptipn to the Tribune and two dollars and a half to the farmer making the most wheat on one acre of land in Rabun county, in 1925. The only condition attached to this offer is that the Farm Agent is to see that the wheat is properly weighed or measured. The unfavorable weather of the past week necessitated the postponement of tht Convention of Vocational Teach ers of Dis - trict No. 1, which \yjs scheduled to be ^eld, at the .Valley Voca tional School BuiliSi lg. last Fri day and Saturdry, •till' October the 3rd and 4th. The P. T. A., has been holding regular sessions, evefy Thursday since the opening of school, but this meeting too, was rained out last week. Miss Sybil Shelnuf and Miss Thelma Gresham, teachers of the beginners fourth and fifth grades respectively, entertained the High School and the rest of the Grammar School, also a number of visitors with an. instructive and beautifully rendered Health prograrfl last Friday afternoon', The community is~to be coftgrat- ulated in their fortunate selec tion of such splendjd teachers. Prof. H. 0. Thomas makes the announcement that similar- pro grams will be given every other week during the term, each teacher taking her ^urn' in ar ranging all these programs. The students of the High School Department wiH .be given practice in public debates, ora tions, recitations, readings apd other,, literary- work, jfrom time -to v . throughout The public is cordial* attend all thesjeVr 1 Prof. Thomas and have announced their of planning a Community Fair to be held, at the School Auditori urn. the last week in October. An Athletic Association has been organized for the purpose of assisting the boys and girls' in securing whatever athletic equip ment is needed, and we look for ward to the hanging of the ban ner? of Northeast Georgia, on the walls of our building.

W, T. Hamby, - D. D., of GainsviUe, Ga. preached a very inspiring sermon on Sunday at the morning service taking for his subject the character of Paul and using for a text the latter half of the 12th verse of the 3rd chapter of Phiilipians, Dr. Ham by is noted for bis uniqueness and originality in his preaching arid no one can fail to find unus ual interest ip his preaching. This ends the term of four years for the Presiding Elder and some other man will likely be assigned, to this position, by the conference which will be held Nov. 19th to 24th. After the devotional service the fourth quarterly conference was held for the charge. Owing to the inclement weather all the eight churches on the charge were not represented but reports from all were received, and a fine showing was made. One of the interesting reports from the churches was that of the Clayton Sunday School. A total of $125.00 has been spent for literature during the year and something above $100.00 was' raised for the Orphans Home on that Sunday morning The Mens Bible Class alone rais ing $60.00 . The financial Showing on the whole charge was good. Last year the sum of $7100.00 was raised on the charge for. all .pur poses and iLnow appears that as much if not more will be raised this year, which is a healthy showing for a small member §hip.
