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.

' 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. L. K. SMITH. Carrollton, Gn., July 30, 1923. GRAND JURY. A. C. W. Tolbert, Rang. 2. B. T. Brooks, F. P. 8. W, J. Gamble, B. F. J.

TATUM, Pastor, 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.
