THE MONTICELLO NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1903.
Prof. Perry Accepts.
At a meeting of the trustees
held Monday night, the resignation
of Prof. O. B. Nisbet was accepted
and Prof, Erwin Perry, of Eaton
ton, was elected to fill his place,
Our people regret exceedingly
to have Mr, Nisbet leave Monti
cello. He goes to Eatonton to as
sume charge of the Electric Co's
plants at that place. This com
pany is fortunate in securing the
services of this excellent young
man, He carries with him the
best wishes of his many friends
here. |
Prof. Perry is a young man of
fine character and comes highly
recommended as a teacher. His
election to fill the vacancy is a
wise one, He will assume duties
as principal of the school Monday,
November the twenty-third.
The people of our town welcome
him and his wite as citizens of
Menticello.
Rural Free Dellvery.
The wind may howl from the
Western horizon, the rain beat,
and thunders roar, but the Rural
letter carrier has to prepare each
day, Sunday excepted, to make
his rounds to the once almost iso
lated farm, for the purpose of
benefiting the farmer, that he
‘might be placed on equal privi
leges with his city cousin. Then! ‘
how thankful the fortunate onesl
in rural districts should feel; be
cause Uncle Sam has devised a
plan. whereby he sendsthe far-‘
mers mail to the nearest point
practicable on the public high
ways, instead of his having *to for-‘
feit time going to office, hunt up
the Post Master and afteggll pos
sibly be disappointed. }
- Some of the many advantages
those who live in Rural Free De- ;
livery districts have over the coun
}try post office patrons are; they
can have lctters registered, any
where on the route, also buy
Money order applications which
are perfectly safe, a great many
times preferable, often cheaper
and always less trouble. If busy
just write your neighbor or friend
a letter on business or otherwise,
as the case may require. The
carrier collects from your box,
cancels stamps and delivers same
in next box or elsewhere, as the
duty demands. It saves time to
the farmer, who wants business
carried on all o. k.
The carrier goes prepared to
furnish patrors with 1 and 2 cent
stamps, stamped envelopes and
Postal cards, also carry Money
Order applications, and just here,
let me ask the patrons, on all
routes in behalf of all carriers, to
buy your supply of stamps, en
velopes and postal cards, so that
your letter will be ready for dis
patch when the carrier collects
same from the box, and above all,
please buy postal cards and have
them written. As a rule all car
riers have about twenty six miles
to drive and no time to lose if his
horse receives any justice what
ever, Uncle Sam keeps up with
everything we do while in service,
because we have to report to him
all the time we use while working
for him, and that time not ours,
I therefore beg all to stamp your
letters, write your cards and have
everything ready to go, Place
yourselves in our position in your
mind and act accordingly.
The advantages along Educa
tional lines are great. The people
read more, and correspond more
than they did when the old rule
prevailed (write and carry to Post
office from J){ to 2 miles)—they
necessarily become interested, be
icause the news they get under
tthe new rule is fresh, which en.
courages every one to read more,
creates a desire to know more,
thereby they are enlightened,
The mind is enlarged and a desire
arises for such things that will be
for the individuals good, and good
for his fellowman, which would
naturally be elevating to society,
every one should strive to build a
moral character, that would be
perfection, as a moral being.
Then we would have no fear of
trouble in our land,
With best wishes for all,
Hemy C. Hays,
Letter Carrier No, 1.

School News.
(Edited this week by Marion
Swanson. Ninth grade).
After two months of hard work
on the part of our excellent prin
cipal and his corps of earnest
teachers we are in such good order
and moving along so smoothly that
we have concluded to let the city
and county know a little of our
doings.
1, a member of. the ninth grade,
have been elected by my class to
send in our first school letter.
Just at present we are grieving
over the fact that Mr. Nisbet has
handed in his resignation to the
board of trustees to take effect at
once. We have all learned to love
him, and regret to see him leave,
I hear that Mr. Perry, of Eaton
ton, will come to fill Mr. Nisbet's
place, I am sure we will like him.
He has been teaching with Mr,
Nisbet for the past three years,
and I, for one, hope he is like Mr,
Nisbet.
We cordially invite the public,
especially our fathers and mothers,
to visit our school.
Our march to the chapel every
morning, to the beat of our drum,
where we hold the opening exer
cises would be enjoyed. Messrs
Pierce Robert and Ernest Ballard
handle the sticks finely.
It is hard for us to decide be
tween the two, as to who shall
hold the placc permanently,
What would improve the looks
and add to the comfort of the pu
pils would be new stoves and
blackboards, for the ones we have
now look as if they have been in
use for several seasons or centuries
I do not know which,
- Come out, [Messrs Trustees, it
won't take a spy-glass to show you
our necessities, Such earnest
teachers as we have would appre
ciate some enthusiasm on your
part,
We now have enrolled one hun
dred and sixty pupils, about fifty
more than we have ever had in
the school, :
Monday morning we welcomed
Miss Dalton Dumas, of Hillsboro,
and Mr. F, A, Smith, of Liberty.
Mr. Smith comes the distartce of
seven and one half miles to school
every morning.
We are remarkably healthy this
term. We have not had an absent
scholar on account of serious sick
ness,
