FARMERS EXCHANGE
IS HOED HAOLY
The necessity for a farmer's ex
change is being discussed.
It has no longer become an appar
ent need but an actual necessity, that
the farmers of the county have an ex
change where they can market their
products. Because of lack of facili
ties the farmers are not raising many
of the things w hich they would if they
could secure a ready market.
It is hoped that the business men
will take the matter in hand, and
supply this necessity.

Preston
(Special to Times-Recorfler.)
PRESTON, Ga., Jan. s.—With
Christmas festivities over, every one
has settled down to work and seem
ingly in earnest, too.
School re-opened Monday morning
and there was quite a number of new
pupils who will grace the benches for
the remainder of the term.
Did some one say a new teacher is
to be added to the teaching corps?
Surely, there was never such ur
gent need for one more instructor,
and every one realizes (?) that it is
false economy to neglect a thing of
such vital importance.
For what mother or father would
not be horrified to know that their
little boy or girl sat on a bench from
eight in the morning till four in the
afternoon for the “privilege" of recit
ing about three times each day? And
yet, it may do that very thing, but
you can’t censure th.? teacher, who has
from fifty to sixty pupils under her
care. She does the best she can “un
der the circumstances.”
The Christmas tree at the aßptist
church on Christmas Eve night W’as
one of the most enjoyable affairs of
