Tho School Matter Aga n.
It seems that the little flame of dis
content that was blown into existence
on tiie school matter some weeks ago
is being kept alive by parties who, it
seems to us, should be the very ones to
keep it down. If there is any dissatis
faction over the division of the two re
ligoua denominations as regards the
election of teachers, why was it that
every teacher was elected by a unami
mous vote by the Board of Trustees
when thatbody is made up of four good
men on both sides, four Baptist and
four Methodists. The ninth member
ib a Methodist, it is true, but he has
never been put on record in voting.
Now if there hau been a strict denomi
national vote in the election of teach
ers and the chairman had decided the
question, then a kick would becoming.
The fight should be made in the room
of the Trustees if there is a fight and
the discontent settled Don’t fire up
the general public until there is a
just cause. If the Board of Trustees
■ were satisfied with the teachers why
■ should their denomination have any
influence. We have quite a few fami
lies in the city that are not either Bap
tists or Methodists, but they are school
‘ patrons, and they are seemingly per
fectly satisfied. We would be satisfied
if every teacher was a Baptist or even
a Methodist, or a Lutheran, or any
other denomination that advocates
! Christianity. What is needed are good
" teachers be they of one denomination
O'- another and all we would ask is
that they be Christians. What is most
desired in Lyons right at this time,
however, is a united people. Let the
leaders on both sides get together and
talk peace. Lets not try to keep the
break open. Lyons is not a large city
and it will take aunitedjeffort of all the
people to keep in the march of progress.
Get together, friends and cut out this
terrible wrangling.
Lyons had a base ball game last Fri
day and the club representing our city
went down in defeat before the team
from Swainsboro. We hardly expect
ed anything better, however, because
our team was not organized and the
hoys had never practiced together a
moment. The team that represented
Swainsboro was well drilled. The
game here was bum on both sides,
many errors were made and the score
at the end of the ninth inning was 9 to
Bin favor of Swainsboro. The attend
ance was good and the people enjoyed
the good plays that were made. Gray
pitched the first half of the game for
Lyons and had his team mates backed
him up at all he would have made a
splendid record. He hit Lester, the
Swainsboro pitcher, in the head in the
fourth inning accidentlly, and it un
nerved him so that he gave up to Mc-
Colsky, who also put up a star game.
Errors lost the game for Lyons, but
the boys will do better next time and
we want to see them get another game.
Thanks to good friend Martin Nobles
for a peck of the finest peaches we
have seen this season. They were
large and well ripe, and we failed to
find a blemish on one of them. Martin
is a good farmer and he has a fine crop.
He came to Toombs county from North
Carolina and he has made good ever j
since he came. He has demonstrated
that a crop of peaches can be made on
Toombs county soil every year and we
don’t understand why more people
don’t take up the peach business. We
would be glad to see many men like
Mr. Nobles move to Toombs. Such
men are always welcome in any com
m u nity.
Several of the young people have de
cided to organize a dramatic club and
the idea of the club is to furnish amuse
ment at different times during the
year. The first play is to be the“ Dumb
Boy of Manchester,” staged by Alfred
Cadman. This is a play of merit and
it will be presented by the best ama
teur talent of Lyons. The proceeds
will be given to the school. The an
nouncement of the date of the play
will appear later.
Simon Levine says that the hogs and
cows are taking his garden and he is
warning people that he is going to use
his gun if the rooting hogs and jump
ing cows are not kept up. Simon has
a good fence and he will have a right
to kill the beasts that force an enter
ance. Those of our people who have
mischevious cows should either keep
them shut up or get them where they
cannot damage a neighbor.
