here of late concerning the
bond issue and a new school
. building, but it is a long way
' from being a dead issue. Os
course we would have prefered
.seeing a fine new building
• ready for occupancy by the

1 then it must be remembered
that it takes time to accomplish 1

Georgia Industrial
Home Day.
The founder and manage-1
ment of the Georgia Industri- ’
al Home for unfortunate child
ren, requests the people of the
State to remember the home
On Tuesday May 31st. and
give one day’s income or sal- <
ary to this great work. The
home lias now about 150 child- 1
reu from all sections of the
state and in five years has
touched the lives of more than
200 and at present is in abso- j
lute need of special, assistance
by reason of an epidemic of
measles and its growing and 1
increasing necessities.
Many friends in Georgia of j
in-.ocent and suffering child-'
hood will remember this ap-1
, peal and give at least one days ,
salary or income to the noble |
cause. All remittances should,
be forwarded by check or Post;
