Jr. Our first seven weeks of school have been completed with very good results. There has been a very good record for these past weeks, although there some are iinprovents to be made. A new plan has been adopted by Prof. Smith. He has promis ed to present a banner to be kept by the grade which nas the larg est per cent of its number of pu pils on the honor roll each month. The banner is to be moved to the room that wins it, where it will remain during the ensuing month. The second grade has it for Octo ber. The two literary societies con*' tinuel their meetings each Mon day with very good results and interesting programs. One has been named “Henry Grady Lit erary Society.” The pastors have filled their regular appointments with us with very interesting talks. One of the most interesting we have had was the one Rev. Liddell gave us on “Pigs is Little Hogs.” Every one enjoyed this very much, as it contained so much humor. He has given us a little poem of his own composition, which is as fol lows : I once saw a little hog, Somewhat strange was he; I found him not in a bog, But up an apple tree. What! a hog up a tre? Whoever heard such stuff ? You'r only fooling me. And trying hard to bluff. Huh! I saw a pig at a table, Eating soup with a spoon; He ate it in such a way The noise lilled the room. Some pigs pretend to wear clothes, Pants and waist, anti hat, Shirt and cloak and shoes, But never lit to look at. Pigs sometimes go to school Who tire driven there by force, But do no good as a rule, So the teacher considers the source. I’m glad I’m not a hog— Don't you feel the same? For I don’t like the bog. Neither do I like the name. Rev. Gilmore also gave us a very interesting talk on loyalty to our teachers, home, town, state, and lastly but not least, to our nation. If we do not stand for the things that will help to raise the standard of these things, we ought to move out and not let our influence hinder them. The Fourteenth Annual Meeting )f the Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the Atlanta Conference M. E. Church will convene in Mc- Donough Nov. Ist, at the A. M. E. church.
