BIG DAY AND NIGHT AT UNION HIGH SCHOOL. Last Friday at the 1 won High , School in Montgomery county tlx* Farmers’ Union held an all day session, with dinner on the ground and then at night the Fiddlers Convention held forth, and those good folks over there carried ; enough good things to eat to sup ply slipper for the hundreds who attended hotll of these meetings. Speeches were made in the morning byseveral gentlemen and 1 lie business sessions of the l won were profitable ones. Jn the afternoon White House baseball team walloped the Me- Kao boys by a score of 7 to <5, and the only excuse t he Meltue boys can ntl'er for this, is that they fed them so high that they were phy sically unable to cope w ith those boys w ho were accustom, d to such fine fare. The Fiddlers were t here at, night in all their glory and their music was greatly en joyed. Report Inis it, that the (iddling got so lively toward the hist that two of the oldest tiddlers could not stand the leniptat ioii to t rip the light fan tastic toe a few St eps. The iniisie by Mcßae's band was a greatly appreciated feature. The writer could not he present on this occasion, and this is only some of the things that have been reported to us, but no matter what seeming exaggerations may Im mentioned, we an- prepared to believe anything good said of these folks, because we have been out there.—Telfair Enterprise. *#*****#*******+********•*# * * | Summer * I Talcum !

M ! RAE,GA.| GET OUT OF T HE OLD RUT. It is a very 1 anientable fact that so many of eur boys look with disdain upon the idea of r»- tnaing on the fario. but an invf s jtigution sometinsw reveals the fact that the boy has good grounds for his bad opinions of farm life, -ays the Dallas New Era. Often It IS .because bis father is using no modern methods, but is following the same old beaten trail. <>ur | entire industrial life is imbued I wit h tin* spirit of progress and in vention, and unless our farmer friend drops in line he will soon |,c out of the procession and his boy gone to the city. If our farmers would adopt modern machinery m their farming op-j editions and keep apace with modern agricultural methods, the re would be less, attraction tor the boy in tile town and city. A dilapidated home and barn, a rusty set, of harness, a ram shackle buggy and wagon, and no machinery hut a haltered plow stock and screaking cotton plan ter, i« enough to drive any boy to j more pleasant and progressive surroundings! j Put your buildings in repair, oil up your harness and ma chinery, tighten up some holts, ’ subscribe for some good papers and magazines, make your farm life attractive and the boy would rut herst ay t him leave. If you let appearance indicate that you are going down hill at farming, you needn’t expect the boy to stay and go down, too. — 1 law k insville Dispatch-News. SEWARD. S|)«a«l Correspondence.

FIFTY OUT OF TEN THOUSAND GIRLS. 1 , Nine thousand nine hundred I and fifty girls out of every ten J thousand are sacrificed in our method ot education, according to Katharine Eggleston in Woman’s Home Companion for July*. Out of every ten thousand girls who enter our primary schools only fifty go to college, yet every one of the ten thousand is prepared j for college. The nine thousand nine hundred and fifty who will be wage-earners anil homemakers are entirely neglected. For example, says Miss Eggleston: “Helen’s school has not made work popular, so to-day Helen has several ideas firmly implant ed in her brain First, education offers a sure escape from domestic work,which is of all work the most | menial. Second, the woman who lias an income of her own is more independent, than the woman who makes a home for a man who pro vides the income, therefore she is to he emulated. Third, the sim plest method of acquiring one’s own income is to seek work in the commercial or industrial world. “Right here we find Helen des tined to become the victim of sex competition. Helen does not know this,but in time she pays the price of the conditions. When “ Billy Smith, her ex-classmate, ► goes to work in a store or office, ► she goes with him, perhaps work- ► ing elbow to elbow. Before long ► Billy Smith discovers that if there ► were not so many ‘Helens’ in his ► ► line of work, earning just enough ► to pay mother some hoard and ► meet dressmaking and millinery ► bills, he would receive more sal- a ary and secure promotion sooner. ► “Unless Billy was very much in ► love with Helen while in school, ► I the breach between them widens. ► Helen is proud of her equality ► | with Billy at the office or store, ► but Hilly resents Helen’s inter- • foreiico with his earning capacity .I and his future. Helen is no longeri„ a matrimonial possibility in Bil-lg ly’s eyes. She lias become a bus- >z iness rival. And if Helen has been j secretly nursing any infection for j|; Billy, she soon faces the realiza-1 j; ! t ion that this dream ts over. But z! she does not know why. For all |; her ‘education’, Helen is less the zj woman, less the Eve, less subtle ?!; than her mother was before her.” U Mrs. B. M. Fussell of Oil la ar rived Sunday afternoon fora visit 3 to her parents, Dr. and Mrs. M. ft Morrison. She was necompained z I by Miss Maggie Fussell. Col. Geo. H. Williams of Dub- :j; lin was a business visitor to Mt. ft Vernon yesterday. U Libel for Divorce. ?! Hattie Patrick vs Van 11. Patrick.
