On account of the bad weather of
Friday night the entertainment
given by the Athletic Association was
postponed for two weeks. At that
time the program will be rendered.
The literary exercises of the past
Friday afternoon were the best giv¬
en this year so far. The debate was
very creditable, showing no little stu¬
dy and effort on the part of speak¬
ers, each one of them spoke from
^mory without notes. The subject the
discussed was, Resolved: That
study of Latin and Greek is a use¬
less waste of time. Hugh Bragg, J.
R Estes, and Sam Holcombe bravely
defended the affirmative, while James
Carter, Norris Hendricks and Fred
Connor stoutly contended for the
negative. The judges, who were
Misses - 7 Mitchell and Maggie
Pitts and Mr, Renne Murrelle, had a
difficult time rendering their decis¬
ion. However, they declared the neg¬
ative the winner by a close margin.
Tiie exercises were made more inter¬
esting by a number of recitations
and reaidngs by other students in the
school. Those who assisted thus were
Ola Adams, Alma Davis, Lois Aiken,
Louise Duke, Jeanne Carter, Ethel Es¬
tes, Elizabeth Benton, Sarah Gay,
Lizzie Davis, Alma Jones, Allene Can¬
dler and Mary Epps. The subject
for the next debate will be, Resolv¬

“ENID’,--Made by Boyden
The “Enid” is the last word in smart shoes for men
and young men. The various leathers in whitch it is made
befits it for every occasion.
Snappy and stylish in every line, yet built to fit the

Built by the Boyden Master Shoe Makers, the Enid
is inimitable also in point of service.

Cotton Seed Separator
PATENTED
SOMETHING NEW SOMEHING GOOD
What two of our Newton County Friends Say
Porterdale, Ga., H. P. D. 2, Oct. 31, 1912.
J. A. Stewart, Prop.
Cotton Seed Separator Go.,
Louisville, Ky.,
Dear Sir:-
Replying to your letter beg to say that the Cotton
Seed Separator is 0. K. I have gotten better cotton and my
seed are much improved. I got about five bushels of bad seed
out of thirty bushel of seed that were of extra good quality
of seed for planting. Shall always separate my seed.
Yours respectfully
J. T. GIBSON.
Porterdale, Ga,, R. F. D. 2 Oct. 31, 1912.
J. A. Stewart, Cotton Seed Separator Co.,
Louisville, Ky.
Dear Sir:-
Replying to your inquiry of recent date. The ma¬
chine is 0. k. and the principle is right. My cotton is
finer this year and my seed are much improved. I expect to
always separate my cotton seed on separator. I find it pro¬
fitable to screen my wheat on this machine before sowing.
I think the use of this machine Increased my cotton
crop at least ten per cent or more.
Yours truly,
T. W. HICKS.
