We beg to call to the attention of all farmers the necessity of using your best endeavors in gathering
and ginning this seasons cotton crop, as the DIFFERENCE IN GRADES IS SO VERY WIDE your
bank account will be a disappointment to you if you fail tc gather your cotton while 1t is'white. .
Cin Cuts and Low Grades Are Almost Unusuable
At present there is a 15¢ per pound difference in the grades of low middling and good middling cot
ton. and we look for grades to become wider unless we have unprecedenteddry weather. Feelinga per
sonal interest in the farmers we are prompted to call their attention to these conditions which now
confront them. ‘ - |
| Careful attention to ginning is imperative. . There is a good demand for good grade cotton. |

Report of School Superintendent.
Dawson, Ga., Aug. 16, 1920.—T0
the Grand Jury of Terrell County—
Gentlemen: In compliance with the
duties assigned me as county school
superintendent, I beg leave to hand
you a report showing the financial
status of the Terrell County Board
of Education. I shall also call to
your attention certain facts which
will serve to give you an idea of the
work done during the year 1919.
Fifteen white schools were oper
ated during the year, Enrollment—
male, 549; female, 530. Total 1,079.
Average attendance 709.
Thirty-four colored schools were
operated. Enrollment—male, 1,515;
female, 1,774. Total 3,289. Average
attendance 1,885.
The attendance as a whole was
oood. While some time was lost on
account of influenza the situation
was much better than it was in
1918. :
I am greatly encouraged on ac
count of the general interest that is
being manifested in education
throughout the county. Our people
want the best. A few standard four
vear high schools, consolidation of
the elementary schools, and trans
portation of children is the larger
educational program that the peo
ple are rapidly making up tgeir
minds to support. Without hesita
tion, I declare to you that such a
program means the dawning of a
brighter and better day for the
boys and girls of Terrell county.
It is with pride that I call your at
tention to the work that is being
done with the girls in the subject
of home economics. Terrell is now
at the top of counties in the state
doing this work. It is almost un
thinkable that the boys of this coun-
ty are not provided with instruction
in agriculture, manual arts, and
other lines so important to them.
This is one of the crying needs of
our school system at present,
The gentlemen composing your
board of education are not blind to
these needs, neither are they deaf
to the requests that such a program
as the above be initiated. Let it be
remembered that the board has just
recently emerged from a rather ex
tensive building campaign. Forth
with prices began to soar and sala
ries had to be increased. You gen
tlemen do not have to be told that
the operating -expenses of our
schools are much heavier than ever
before, nor do you need to be re
minded that the source of revenue
is practically the same year after
year,
Sq the problem at present is to
hold our own and make as much
progress as possible. I feel that I
must acknowledge the co-operation
of several communities in keeping
up the standard of our teachers.
Wherever it is nmecessary, the people
have supplemented the funds pro
vided by this board in a very liberal
manner.
No one can know the future. But
what we need, we must have. A
continued co-operation and patience,
a mutual understanding of the thing
toward which we are working, will
in the not far distant future bring
us to the place where we will gladly
and happily do the things that are
worthy of our wonderful resources
and of ‘our progressive people.
Your attention is directed to the

on their good behavior recently and

Cured of Stomach Trouble and Con
stipation.
Rachel Cribley of Beaver Dam,
' Ohio, was sick for two years with
stomach trouble and constipation,
taking one medicine after another
with only temporary relief. “My
neighbor spoke so enthusiastically of
Chamberlain’s Tablets,”” she says,
“that I procured a bottle of them at
our drug store to try, A few days
treatment convinced me that they
were just what I needed. I continued
their use for several weeks and they
cured me.

The Brunswick is frankly a combination of the best ifi tifé
building. :
There is one tread that’s supreme beyond question. And
. that is now on Brunswicks. ‘
There is one side-wall constitiction, which, by every test,
holds the summit place for endurance. And that one wasg
adopted for Brunswicks.
Fabrics differ up-to 30 per cent in their strength tests.
On Brunswicks the maximum long-fiber is the standard.
There are certain additions, each one expensive, which add
vastly to tire mileage. The Brunswick embodies all these
extras. ‘
There are no patents, no secret formulas to prevent any
maker from building the best. It is simply a question of
knowledge and skill cost plus care.
Brunswick standards are known the world over. The very
name certifies an extraordinary tire. Yet Brunswicks cost
no more than like-type tires.
Buy ONE Brunswick. It will prove that a better tire can
not be bought, regardless of price.
