WHEAT SOWING
CAMPAIGN IS ON
At the meeting of the Farmer’s
T t uion held in this city last Satur¬
day a wheat-sowing campaign for
Newton county was inaugurated.
This will mean thousands of dol¬
lars to the farmers of the county
nest year, especially taken in con¬
nection with the large acreage be*
Ing sown in cats this season.
The local branch has inaugura¬
ted this bread campaign and have
pledged themselves to stand by
the plan.
It was inaugurated by tho
adoption of a resolution urging its
members and all farmers to plant
ot least one bushel of wheat this
seasou—which should have the sup¬
port of everybody in the county.
The resolution is as follows:
“Be it resolved by the
Farmer’s Union of New
ton county, That every
member of the Union and
every farmer of the coun¬
ty, whether Union mem¬
ber or not, be requested
and urged to sow at least
one bushel of wheat this
fall.”
This resolution was unanimously
passed and the memDers pledged
themselves to exert every effort to
carry it cut.
The plan is an excellent one
and The Enterprise ha3 heard it
very favorably commented upon
by some of the leading men of the
county

TEACHERS
examinations
We have just received the fol¬
lowing data from the State School
Commissioner:
Yielding to the Almost unani
mous wishes of the County School
Commissioners throughout the
state, I am ordering an examina¬
tion of teachers to be held on the
18th aud 19th of December.
“This examination will not be
based veiy greatly upon any texts
suggested for reading, but more
stress than usual will be laid upon
school law and school manage¬
ment. In the spring examination
the questions will be shaped in
great part by Dutton’s ‘School
Management’ and Dinsmore’s
‘Teaching of a Country School.’
The former may be had of the
Southern School Depository of
Atlanta, and the latter from the
American Book Co , Atlanta.’’
Mr. Corley, of the Bradshaw
Book Co., Covington, will gladly
order these books for any one want¬
ing them.
Copies of the Georgia School
Law can bo had from the office of
the County School Commissioner.
From instructions of the State
School Commissioner it seems
that questions will not be based
upon any specific text, but we sug¬
gest that all preparing even for
the December examinations read
these two works in addition to the
pamphlet of G<ogia school law.
