YOUNG ALLIGATOR
CAUGHT IN FISH NET
Jurors for October Term, I REV. OSCAR FLEMING TO
J Superior Court, 1923 TABERNACLE REVIVAL
Lnnt Friday an alligator wnn caught
in the lake on Mr. J. T. Morgan’s farm
six miles north of town. It wus cal"^
in a fish net, nnd measured three t
and two inches, Tho fishermen were
not fnmillAr with the alligator, so they
proceeded to kill it. It wns in a lnko
that covered about six acres of land
en Hominy crook, a half mile from tho
Little Tallapoosa river.
About two yenrs ugo Mr. Jim Bryce
sent from Florida a small alligator to
Jesse Kelley and Mr. Kelley fenced up
a little place on tho branch near Ills
home, expecting to hnvo a pet; but a
freshet came nnd wnhiod away the
fonce and the alligator also. And it
is thought by the neighbors that the
alligator killed last Friday is the snuie
that Mr. Bryce sent here from Floridn.

' Poison the Weevil Poison the Weevil
In response to whnt appeared to bo
n populnr demand, tho Mayor and City
Council of Cnrrollton through a com
mittee, consisting of that body and
other citizens, submitted to tho voters
certain questions rolntive to changes
in our school laws. It was not contem
plated to clinngo tho great body of the
school laws of tho city under which our
schools hnvo prospered for more than
u third of a century, but tlio changes
related to a reduction in the number of
the Board, cutting down the term of
office, the oloction of the momhors
from the various wards so ns to hnvo at
least one momber in each ward and
the change of tho name of tho Board.
On May 15, 1921, tho voters endorsed
at tho polls tho following' reeommendn-
tions of tho committee:
1. To cronto a Board of Education
for Carrollton consisting of six momhors
in place-of tho Board of School Com-
missionofs for Carrollton, consisting of
twelve momhors.
2. To elect the members as follows;
Ouo from each of the four wards and
two from tho city at large, to he chosen,
however, by the general vote of tho
city.
3. Tho terms to be cut from six to
three yenrs. Tho first Board under
this amendment shall be elected for
the following terms: The two membors
from the city at. large for one year,
tho two from tho first and second wards
for two years and the two from the
third and fourth wards for threo years.
On the expiration of the respective
terms the successors shall be elected
for three year terms. In, this way after
the first ycar y^U.wlll always have fwo-
third* of the members bolding over,.pro
vided of'course','no vfteuin'Mrs deeur diif-T
ing a term.
4. On Montay, October 8, 1923, all
the terms of nil tho members of the
present Board of School ommissioners
expire.
If, At ; the primary in September.
1928, ihe’ voters wilL nominate the six
members of the Board of Education,
for one, two and three years as stated
above, and they will be elected irt the
regulnr election the first Saturday in
October. They will enter upon their
dutios on the following Monday.
6. While tho members will bo elected
from the various wnrds and from tho
city at large as stated, and the whole
city votes for each member, it should
bo borne in mind thut there arc six
snpnrnto and distinct offices to be filled
nnd candidates are to bo announced for
the particular places for which tho cit
izens wish them choBcn. It js conceiv
able that half a dozen might be put for
ward from one ward nnd only one from
another and one of the six would bo
chosen by a smnll plurality of the votes
of tho city whilo the one would be
chosen without opposition, from the
other ward.
Tho bill embodying tho forogoing
provisions has boon prepared and intro
duced in tho Legislature by our repre
sentatives and I presume it has been
passed by this time, though tho papers
have not mentioned it.
In the history of our schools, cover
ing a period of 37 years, all tho mem
bers of the Board hnvo never gone out
at ocne. Two-thirds have always bold
over heretofore. , Six members will
hereafter have the work and responsi
bility of twelve. And that work is not
by any means a light job to a member
who has tho good of the schools at
heart. No board of directors of any
institution in Carrollton has a groator
responsibility than rests on tho School
Board, whether tho people rcalizo this
fact or not. On the wisdom of the
choice of tho people made in tho pri
mary in September in selecting the six
citizens for tho Bonrd of Education will
depend in large measure the success or
fniluro of tho greatest enterprise fos
tered and sustained by the citizens of
Carrollton. Only about 45 days romaiu
before that choice is,to be made.

BOOSTING OUR HOME TOWN AND COUNTY
Let’s get together and build a bigger and better
community. I
It’s inspiring to bp a booster, and it’s decidedly
worth while. No matter how big or how small it
may be. a community that receives the whole-hearted
and enthusiastic support of its people invariably
torges ahead at an increased pace.
First, all of us can seize every opportunity to put
in a good word for this home city of ours—show that
we are proud to live here and work here.
Second, each of us can get behind the various
forms of community activities and put a shoulder to
the wheel.
Third, we can all buy at our local stores where
well selected stocks and the best service are always
to be found.
Fourth, we can deposit our surplus money in home
banks where it will benefit us and our own home
community.
Co-operation by all for a greater community pro
gress brings individual opportunity, business success
and prosperity for everybody.
It’s our City, and our County. Let’s Boost for it.
