School Column. Board of Ed. meets every Ist Tuesday in each mouth. BOARD MEMBERS: J. D. Bowen, Pres., Stock bridge. W. D. Tarpley, McDonough. G. G. LeGuinn, Locust Grove. J. M. Tarpley, Hampton. J. T. Lummus, McDono’ R. F. D. The weather continues very un favorable for school work. Measles, mumps, whooping cough, etc. are having a telling ef fect upon the attendance these days. It is a problem. Is it wise to expose the health of the child ren and send him to school? Is it wise to keep him out of school and lose the daily opportunity of an education? Think about this, both parents and children, and do what you prayerfully think is best. I knew, well enough, that the fine boys and girls were going tD send in letters soon. You can count on boys and girls. That is one reason why I love them too. Let your letters reach me by Monday afternoon. It is with pleasure that we hear from three of our friends this week. Your friend, T. J. H. Union Grove School. Dear Mr. Horton : As I see no other little boys or girls are writ ing I thought I would write to you. My brother and I have been out of school this w r eek with measles. I sure do hate to miss a day. I am in Miss Belk’s room now, and in the fifth grade. I will be glad when spring comes and the l oads get good. I think a visit from you would do us all good. Santa Claus was real good to me Christmas, so I am going to try to be a good little girl and learn my lessons well. Your little friend, Cleo Blankenship. 11 years old. Liberty Hill School. We arfe wishing for some pretty weather so you can visit our school. Our attendance lias been exceedingly good during the bad weather. The first grade are enjoying their construction work, and we are taking examinations this week. Our teacher, Miss Annie Peebles, spent the week end with home folks in Hampton. Misses Mollie and Vestra Rhodes of Griffin spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Morris. Mr. J. H. Laney and family spent Friday with Mr. and Mrs. Bryant. Your school girl, Frances Morris. Union grove School. Dear Mr. Horton: We read your lettler in the news and I de cided 1 would like to send you a letter frnm nnr or>lir\rU • v i w» * * viij V./U4 ov. iv;ui. We are trying to do well in out work and love our teacher. We observed Arbor Day last month, took off one Friday afternoon to' plant a few trees and some other work to improve our school ground. 1 know of no other news right now, but in saying another word for our school will siy that I read some verses today which reminds me of something one of our new pupils said* the other day that she liked to come to school here because the children were so kind and nice to her. The verse I will give below because 1 hope every pupil in Henry county will see them if they have not al ready: For what ought the lives of those of us who are happy be to us if we can’t share it with others. Let me today do something that will take A little sadness from the world’s vast store. And may I he so favored as to make Of joy's to scanty sum a little more. Let me tonight look back across the span Twixt dawn atid dark, and to my conscience say Because of some good act to beast or man — The world is better that I lived today. Frances Elliott, i MOUNT BETHEL NEWS. The weather is so uncertain these days tiiat our Sunday school j secretary, while making out her report Sunday, stated weather rainy, but by the time she was asked to read it, she was obliged to say weather fair. Loy and Nina Strahn and Nellie Ilooten called on Prof, and Mrs. Kiethly and Miss Nellie Sutton Sunday afternoon. Sunday school was greatly en livened Sunday afternoon by the presence of Prof, and Mrs. W. W. Hooten and their splendid help in singing. Mr. Joe Bail Bledsoe is making his home at present with his broth er, Mr. J. W. Bledsoe. The younger set were quite pleasantly entertained in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alonza Cawthon Saturday night. Misses Fannie Jane and Viola Tolleson and Miss Nettie E’Dalgo were guests-of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wilkerson Saturday night. The beautifully warm crocheted cap and scarf and the lovely em broidered handkercief gifts from my Sunday school class of boys and girls are very much admired by my friends and greatly appre ciated by myself this wintry weath er. Such evidences of and love warms our hearts and cheers our spirit. F. B. Strahn went to Atlanta Saturday and bought a wood saw. He expects to do a good business sawing wood for the public if this weather continues. Mr. VV. A. Hooten spent the w-eek-end with his broth, Mr. S. P. Hooten. The Red Cross chapter at Snap ping Shoals meet faithfully once a week, notwithstanding the ex treme weather, and are doing good work for the boys in the army. This is commendable. Ev ery community should be doing their bit along this line. George, Laurie and Elinor Strahn were swinging high in the porch swing at home Sunday aft ernoon when the staple that held the chain broke, throwing them everyone out into the yard, a dis tance of about ten feet. Not a bone was broken, not many tears shed, and when we had washed off all the mud and they had got ten over the shock, they seemed to be about as good as ever. And we know we have something to be thankful for. BETHANY BRIEFLETS.

Heard of Jenkins burg came up Friday, spent the night with Mr. and Mrs. R. O. Moate, and filled his regular ap pointment at Sharon Saturday and Sunday. Good congregation at both services.

Grace Joyrrer and Adell Joyner were out sporting Saturday night in a road cart. One wheel be came demolished, which frighten ed the animal hitched to the cart. Cart, animal, boys, ail left seper ate. The boys escaped —to a party. Lots of cotton in field. Things will change—it was once white, now blue. Messrs. Jack Turner, Dee Wil son and Dock Shaw went to Ea tonton last week on business. The day is upon us when peo ple are judged by some oeople for what they have of this world’s goods, and not what they are. The whole truth is that we very much exaggerate *he power of riches —but my dear people, at the end we will all be judged by God alone. The man or woman who will not stoop to do a wrong, dis honest act, to make a dollar, who lives a pure, clean life, trying to do the will of their Lord and and Master, is the one who shares the blessings and will be reward ed in the end. Our pastor said in the pxTlpit Sunday that the boys were likely to foflow the crowd. May we as fathers and mothers lead our boys ami* girls in the right direction lead them to church and Sunday School. God forbid that we lead them to the gambler’s place or a place to gam hfo Q nlooo t.a rlnnhn fr, u t•-/ uuiiLa. , a piatc IU drink, a place to swear, for we know that these things are of the devil and the end thereof is eter nal punishment. May each one of us as parents, and those not parents, ask ourselves this ques tion, am I leading any one in the wrong way —if I am, who w ill be responsible? SLEEPY EYES. About all the conception some folks have of a gentleman, judg ing from the w r ay they act, is a swell suit of clothes and gold banded cigar.—Uncle Jeremiah.

A Maxwell car, famous for its economy,, will cost you only a few dollars a month to operate and maintain. Which is the real economy: \ " (1) To use the car and ? save time, strength, and « mental vigor? \ (2) To do without the \ car, lose time in your busi \ ness, lose the health gained from motoring, and worry yourself into illness? \ Use of a Maxwell car will give you self confidence. \ Your neighbors and associates will get mental inspiration from you. As wave circles widen when a pebble hits the water, so will your good example bene fit your entire community. Save—yes; but do it sensibly, and let the Maxwell help. \[ louring Car $745; Roadster $745; Coupe $1095 Berline $1095; Sedan vAth Wit e Wheels $1195 * F. O. B. Detroit - ; - J.L.
