festival. Modern Jews use the civil cal

their feasts and fasts according to'the
moon. Orthodox observers still obier, •

a inode of reckouiug that is supported,
traditionally, by the Biblical story <of
creation, iu which tin* evening is in<m-
tjoued before the nwrniug. The year is
*41S0, counting from the traditional time
of the creation of the world. »
The Bible enjoins the celebration of
the New Year in the book of Leviticus,
chapter U3. and Numbers, chapter 29. The
chief rite mentioned is toe blowing of the
trumpet or rain's horn, still observed in
the synagogue. The ceremonial of. the
day is very impressive it includes pPay
ers of ancient and medieval origin, elab
orate music and the reading of the ac
count of Abraham's sacrifice of ItMC. The.
greeting of the season is Leshana tovft partraent to another,
tikosevu, "May you be inscribed in the
book <»f life for a good year.”
Tlie lessou of the New Year is that

The month of Tishri is the festival
season of the Jewish calendar. After
the "New Year" eoiucs the ‘‘ten days of
penitence," then the fast of the Huy of
Atonement, and iinuiiy the Harvest Fes

Jews, stirring iu them impulses for re

COUNTYSCHOOLSTO
OPEN NEXT MONDAY
Meeting of Teachers Will Be Held Her#
Next Saturday. Patrons and Trustees *
Should Welcome Them.
The rural schools of Tift county will V *'
open Monday, September 29, except the
Ty Ty school, which opened three week*
ago. It ia hoped that we shall have a •
splendid year’s work. With the proper v
support uud co-operation of all concerned " v
the desired results will be obtained.
The greatest asset of Tift is her boy* *v’c
und girls; the great task of the teacher \
proper training of these young
minds. The teacher needs the help aud
ympnthy of the parents in this respon- ,
4be task. It has been hard to get teach-
rs, this year, but the best huve beeu se- ;■*'
11 red that the present funds will secure,
totnc of the communities have been lib
ra I in supplementing the county fund,
thereby paying their teachers a better
salary.
The teachers will meet at Tifton Sat
urday. September 27, ut 11:00 o’clock
railroad time or 10:00 o’clock central
time to receive contracts, registers, blanks
und to discuss some plans for the year.
The trustees n f the different schools can
find their teachers here. We would be
glad to have as many of the trustees to
meet with us us can and will.
It is needlc-s to say that the teachers
will appreciate it if the trustees, or some
one. will see that they get to their com
ma nitic» und have u good boarding place.
It would be a line thing if all the patrons
would meet tin* teachers of their children
and become acquainted with them. It ia
great to know aud understand people.
Misunderstanding!} bring about a great
deal of the trouble betwee- -eacuers and
patrons. Meet the teachers and discus*
the cbihfs interest with them, and thus
pave the way for better work.
It> will he well if the trustees o r others
interested, will have a work day at the
school this week uud get everything iu
readiness for u good opening. A good
start means much. About one-half of the
teachers will teach iu the county for the
first time. Make them feel at home.
The new Compulsory School Attend-
ice luw will go into effect January 1,
1020. nt which time there will be an at
tendance officer whose duty will be to
look after delinquents. This will he a
great help to our educational progress.
Yours for better schools,
A. J. AMMONS, Superintendent.
CIRCUS DAY COMING
The Kids of Tifton anil Tift County Are
I'lanning a Big Holiday
At Tifton. Thursday. October 2. Sparks
World’s Famous Shows will hold forth in
this city tor a matinee and night exhi-
dtion. and the rare, unique ami wonderful
liings that have been promised on paper
viil become a reality
The airy riders, who, in diaphanous
skirts have been pirouetting on the ex
pansive backs of beautiful nnd speedy cir-
liorscs (on the bill boards) will he
in all the gorgeousness of tulle and
seductive smile; the elephants will copy
their pictured acts of comedy and go them
better; the contortionist will proceed
to disentangle himself from the knots he
tie*! in his responsive body last year; the
roluitic families will turn dizzy somer
saults and the clowns will work off their
latest comedy stunts to the great delight
f the crowds present—we nil like the
£ v
There’s nothing on earth like the circus.
It is tin* people’s show par excellence..
It is the one groat American amusement
that appeals to all the people.
The merit in a big circus, like the
Sparks Shows is in the fact that '
thing in the show is the very best of its
kind.. Thorp must inevitably Ik* riding
acts, but the riders nre the leaders of their
professions.. There must be acrobats,
but the ncrobntic artists nnd eaerialists * *’*-
nre gathered from the wide world, and
arc the best that money can procure.
It is this superiority in the quality of .
the performers that ninkos the Sparks
Shows such n welcome visitor.
