NEWBORN HOLDS
SCHOOL RALLY.
Newborn, One of The Most Pro¬
gressive of Smaller Georgia
Towns, Holds Remarka
able School Rally.
Thursday of last week Nevvb,.rn
was the scene of a gathering ;n th**
interest of education. Some of
the most prominent advocates of
tbn educational interests in Newton
county were present, and with
then genial good humor not only
entertained the people from the
platform, but moved among them,
and interested them both in having
a good time and in having better
educational facilities fur the chil¬
dren.
Newborn is one of the most pro
giessive of smaller middle Georgia
towns. Its progress during the
last three or four years has been
almost phenominal, and even
within the last twelve or fifteen
months mauy handsome and costly
residences have been erected.
Within that short space of time
some $80,000 or $40,000 have been
permanently invested in substan¬
tial buildings there.
During the next twelve months
unusual development is expected,
doubtless surpassing the achieve¬
ments of the past year. Newborn
is attracting attention on account
of its numerous advantages to
homeseekers and business men,
and there is none more noticeable
than its educational attractions.
Newborn offers decided advantage
in this respect, and ou last Thurs¬
day at this educational rally the
very atmosphere was laden with
the enthusiasm of all present for
educational facilities and the con¬
duct of Newborn’s schools on a
broader basis.
The entire day was devoted to
this occasion. All business in the
town was suspended, and every,
body took occasion to show their
civic pride and enthusiasm by
turning out eu mass to participate

in the^e exerc’ses. This meeting
demonstrated beyond question That
the citizens of Newborn are fully
alive to th-> educational situation,
and they are determined to keep
tin* school up with the genera!
progress of the community in other
lin>*s. The mayor and council of
Newborn are working in hearty co¬
operation with the Newborn school
board and citizens to briug about
the best results, and to materially
improve the educational conditions
in the town.
The Newborn school board con¬
sists of W. E. Stowe, chairman;
Neater Smith, Mr M. Gay, Dr. J.
T. Pitts and Dr. G. W. H. Mur
relle. Simply naming this board
is enough to assure anyone famil¬
iar with their energy and ability
that “Greater Newborn” is uot a
dream.
Iiev. J. T. Rakes, pastor of the
Newborn, Methodist church, pre
sided at the morning session. The
following well known gentlemen
were introduced by the chairman;
Hon. L. L. Middlebrook, Col. J.
P. Cooley and Prof. G. 0. Adams,
the county school superintendent.
Each of these gentlemen stressed
the importance of improving the
standard of the school and increas
iug itB efficiency and power for
good. The closest attention was
paid to all the speakers by the au¬
dience, which was composed of
representative citizens who are
deeply interested in the cause of
education, and who on this occa¬
sion manifested without reserve
their great interest and enthusiasm.
The morning session closed with
an address by Rev, J T. Eukes,
who dwelt at length upon the vast
and lasting influence the teacher
exerts in the formation of charac¬
ter. Mr. Eakes paid a well deserv¬
ed compliment to County School
Superintendent Adams upon his
tireless efforts in building up the
school system of Newton county.
The afternoon session, which
was called to order after a noon
recess of two hours, during which
time was enjoyed dinuer with the

dunt G. C. Adams presided, and
l^d in the discussions, manifesting
the liveliest interest in all of the
valuable suggestions made by those
who addressed the meeting. Plans
for reorganizing and conducting
Newborn school on a broader and
bettor basis were presented and
ably discussed by Hon T. J. Speer,
Dr. J. T. Pitts, Dr. P. Willson,
H 011 . Will Reid, of Mouticello,
Mr. W. E. Stowe and other repre
seutative gentlemen present. Prof.
Adams, leading in the discussion,
made a brief speech suggesting
plans for the betterment of the
schools, and again Colonel Mid
dlebruoks and Colonel Cooley gave
the gathering the benefit of some
timely suggestions which favorably
impressed the members of the
school board.
As a result of this educational
mass meeting—for such it was
called—it was the sense of those
present to raise by local taxation
a sum sufficient to enlarge the
school building, purchase modern
school equipment and apparatus,
and establish a high school depart*
; went, employ additional teachers
and pay them better salaries. This
course was unanimously decided
upon.
It is the opinion of everyone who
attended this meeting that it was
indeed most opportune, and that
substantial results were obtained
from which great good for the town
and section will surely come.
Prominent Odd Fellow*
Attend Grand Lodge.
Dr. N. Z. Anderson and Mr.
Jno. W. Peek, of Star Lodge No.
164, left Tuesday to attend the
Grand Lodge of the Inde¬
pendent Order of Odd Fellows of
Georgia, which was held in Co¬

day, and the meeting was a most
successful one.
