Nimrods Are Happy In
The Sport and Quail
Are in Danger
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20.—Thel
Georgia hunting season opened
on Wednesday of this week,|
November 20th, and with the
crack of dawn scores of Atlan
ta nimrods were in the field.
Most of the experienced
hunters went to points in
South Georgia, where birds are
said to be wonderfully plentiful
this year. Numbers of Atlan
tians came back with their bags
filled to the limit of the law,
predicting that this season’s|
sport will be the best in years.
While the southern part of
the state is apparently best for
hunting, large covies are re
ported in every section, and
some few birds have a]ready‘
been shot within walking dis
tance of Atlanta. ‘
All this week there has been‘
a furbishing and oiling of guns,
a snapping triggers, a roundingl
up of setters and pointers. Such
joyous yelps as the bird dogs
emit when they first catch sight
of the long laid away gun, are
heard only once a year. |
New licenses have to be pro
cured for this year’s hunting.
A license for the last year sea
son is not good this fall, even
though it was bought at the last
part of last season. All licenses
expire on the 20th of February
following date of issuance. They
do not run from year to year.
A license for a resident to
hunt in his own county costs sl.
A license for a citizen of Geor
gia to hunt anywhere in the
state costs $3. Non-residents
why want to hunt in this state.
have to pay sls.
Tenants and their families
can hunt, without any license
at all, on the land they occupy,
provided they have the permis
sion of the owner. In any other
case, even though the hunter
has a license, hunting on the
land of another without the
consent of the owner, is pro
hibited by law.

Home Industries Being
Patronized and The
Outlook is Fine
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20.—Al
though it is still a month and a
half to the end of the year, busi
ness concerns in Atlanta and
other southern cities are al
ready figuring out the profits
and extent of the past twelve
months’ activities.
Conservative estimates al
ready declare that 1912 will
prove one of the biggest and
most successful years in the
history of the south’s prosper
ity. The high cost of living has
not held back the growth of en
terprises big and little in south
ern territory. Reports of com
mercial agencies show that
southern business institutions
have prospered and grown be
cause of the widespread and
general application of the e
conomic principle of keeping
money at home by patronizing
home industries.
Among the first detailed re
ports which have come in are
those of the southern fire in-]
surance companies. Fire in
surance men have been leaders
in the “keep money at home”
propaganda, and along with the
whole south have begun to reap
the mutual benefit of that new
southern gospel.

MONTICELLO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912.
FOR THE GOUNTIES
aq
Mr. Elizer Endorses The
Plan of State School
Superintendent
To the County Superintendent:
Despite the desire for con
solidation conditions in many
parts of Georgia will require
the small and even the one-room
school for years to come. More
than elsewhere the patrons
need to know whether or not it
is up to an approved standard.
T'he Superintendent also re
quires some uniform basis for
grading and reporting when
making his visits as required by
law. To aid in furnishing prac
tical criteria for both patron‘
and official the following outline
has been arranged. Upon com
pliance with every point under
each of the seven heads follow
ing, the State Department of
Education will send a certificate
which can be framed and will
designate the institution as a
standard county school. .
THE TEACHER ?
1. Good Teaching.
2. Good Order and Manage
ment.
3. First: Grade Certificate.
4, Full, Neat, and Accurate
School Register.
5. Daily Program Posted in
Room.
6. Teacher’s Manual on
Desk.
GROUNDS
1. Good Condition. -
2. Playgrounds.
3. School Garden.
4. Two Separate Sanitary
Closets.
BUILDING ‘
1. Painted Outside. ‘
2. Plastered, or Ceiled and
Painted. ‘
3. No Leaks.
4. Windows without Broken
Panes. |
5. Cloak Rooms. |
6. Good Doors with Locks
and Keys.
7. Clean and Well-kept.
EQUIPMENT
1. Patent Modern Desks.
2. At least 20 Lineal Feet of
Blackboard per Room.
3. Building Heated Com
fortably and Ventilated.
4, Framed Pictures on the
Wall.
5. Dictionary, Maps and Li
brary.
6. Sanitary Water Supply.
ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES
1. Manual Arts, Corn, Can
ning, Poultry, or Cooking Club.
SALARY OF EACH TEACH
ER
At least S4O. per month.
TERM
At least seven months.
The requirements urged in
order to bring the schools up to
a creditable standard are reas
onable and some counties can
meet them now in almost every
particular throughout their
systems. These are compara
tively few, however, and the
wide variation is easy to be seen
since many others have no
schools with the equipment out
lined and will have difficulty in
securing it. Show teachers and
patrons the real model school or
mark at which we are to aim
and attainment will follow,
however, as certainly in rural
as well as in urban education.

1. H. KELLY CO. INSTALLS
A NEW CASH SYSTEM
Under the management of
that genial and happy-minded
young man, Mr. Barron Kelly,
who is ever alive to the best in
terest of his firm, the J. H.
Kelly Company has just install
ed a new cash carrier system
which is up-to-date in every
particular.
In the first place it is a time
saver, as the purchases are sent
down the line to the miniature
depot where the “cash boy”
wraps and returns same in a
neat package to the clerk, who,
in the meantime, can be using
the time showing or selling
more goods.
In this way errors are prac
tically eliminated, for the “cash
boy” has nothing to confuse nor
interrupt while making change
and wrapping the various ar
ticles.
For the position of ‘“cash
boy” this enterorising firm has
secured a girl, Mrs. J. Fleming
Jordan, and in the selection
of this young woman they are
very fortunate as she is a most
competent person for this all
important place.
Our citizens do not have to go
to the larger cities to see big de
partment stores. Monticello
has them and they are the equal
of any in the state in appoint
ment, comfort, ete.; each carry
ing the most advanced styles
and patterns in everything
from shoe strings to bales of
cloths.
of the red hills, has come to take
an honored place.
Celebrated gastronomically
as an indispensable adjunct to
the 'possum; celebrated lyrical
ly along with the grasshopper,
in the melodious refrain of
“John Brown’s Body,” the
sweet potato is today celebrated
also in scientific circles by ob
taining an entry as a perma
nent > exhibit in the state mu
seum of Georgia.
The biggest sweet potato on
record. grown by W. M. New
ton, of ~ Appling county, and
measuring sixteen inches in
length and weighing eighteen
pounds, has been permanently
preserved. embalmed as if it
were an Egyptian monarch, and
laid on a conspicuous shelf at
ithe canifltzl to invite the emula
ition of this generation and the
admiration of posterity.

YESTERDAY MORNING
Mr. William Hatfield died
yesterday morning at the fam
ily residence on Hillshboro
street, after an illness of sev

Although the Death Angel
had been hovering near for
many days to convey his soul to
his Heavenly home, his death
was a shock to relatives and
friends who are sorely bereav
ed by his demise.
He was a consecrated chris
tian, having been a member of
the Baptist church for forty
years.
