BARTOW COUNTY FI
Mime notice
1
Schools And Teachers To
Co-operate To Bring
About Success.
it & only a few weeks until the gates
of the Bartow County Fair will open
for the reception of spectators; and it
is the hope and belief of its directors
that every department of the fair this
year shall be a success.
Every effort of the directors is be
ing directed to that end, with the de
sire that they may have the support
and co-operation of every business
firm, fanners’ organization, school,
and progressive, patriotic citizen in
the county. ,
The prizes this year for exhibits in
j the school department are huger and
mare attractive than they have ever
been and the manner of their distribu
tion is equally fair to every school in
the county.
There will be two classes of school
booth prizes. Class A includes all the
long term schools both rural and city.
In this c!as; there is a Ist, 2d and 3d
cash prize of sls, *lO, $5.
Class B is composed of all short term
schools in the county. In this class
there is also a Ist, 2d and 3d cash
prize of sls, 10, $5. In addition to t hese
a cash prize of $5 is offered for every
worthy school booth exhibit from ev
ery schoql not a winner of either Ist,
2d or 3d prize in class A or class B.
While the prizes for the school
booth exhibits are attractive in value
and in manner of distribution, yet,
there are special and individual prizes
which are just as attractive.
Call or write the Tribune office for
a Bartow County Fair Catalogue,
In addition to the monetary value of
the prizes, a far greater reward will
come to every school and individual,
wh-o makes an exhibit in the form of
increased interest and enthusiasm, in
the community and individual which
is .\iecessary element of success and
can only come to either as a result
of determined and well directed effort.
The directors want the public to
know that the fair cannot succeed
without the help and co-operation of
every school.
ft very teacher who expects to teach j
,in this county next year ought lo he- |
gin now, to boost and work for the
fair.
If any teacher knows some one who
can do a special piece of work well,
that person should be encouraged to
make an exhibit.
If any school has never made an
exhibit begin now to talk exhibit, call
a meeting of the ]>eople, appoint some
committees, and elect some one to
take charge of the exhibit and see that
it is a success.
The school department ite a three
sided affair this war. the literary or
school work proper, the corn, pig
and calf club work and the can
ning club, poultry club and home eco
nomics department. |
The fair directors have been in the j
habit of writing up a prize list in the
catalogue with no fear of having to
pay the pnfzes for lack of exhibitors,
but the hope is, this year, to taake
away every prize listed in these de- |
parturients.
Tt is up to the teachers and schools
to win a share of these prizes, and it
can he done if begun now.
When information is desired or ques
tions to be asked about any of the ex
hibits, call at \he office of the super
intendent or see Mr. C. H. Cox or
wnflte Miss Jessie Burton.
Get into the game early that your
I name may be among the prize winners.

Judge A. W. Fite was called upon

in that they were encouarged to do
their best as men, to meet their re

A large crowd having assembled in
the park, the. men and women, both old
and young, passed by the ten Bat tow

MADE AIDE DE CAMP
10 GENERAL PERSHING
Bartow county’s representation in
j the war has now reached to places of
highest authority, the most recent ad
vancement being that of Capt. Carl
B:nd, who has been made aide- le
! camp to Major-General Pershing,;
in the command of the American
forces in France. Cap.. Boyd is
tii< son ol Mr. C. M. Boyd, of
Adairsville, a West Point graduate,
lieutenantg and afterwards captain j
United Slates army. He was sent;
-to France immediately after the j
breaking out or the Euno)eao war J
and attached to the American EmJjflsH
s. at Paris. In this position he served j
with admirable skill, and so satisfac
torily to Amba-rrador Sharpe that it
was with great reluctance that the
ambassador yielded his services to
Capt. Boyd's desire to become active
ly engaged in the army. Upon this
fact becoming known, GefroTS.! Persh
ing at onoe made kno.' n his desire to
have Capt. Boyd as one of his- aides,
and this being communicated to Wash
ington, he was promptly appointed.
Capt. Boyd will be or great service J
u. General Pershing in that he has •
spent practically the entire period of
the war in France, speaks French '
fluently, whereas General Pershing
does not speak French, and is famil
iar with the main personages who
have taken active part in the war.
Capjt. Boyd will occupy quarters next
to the general and will therefore be in
close touch w'th the general at all
times as well as coming in contact
with all those with whom the general
consults.
Capt. Boyd’s family, consisting of
his wife, who was Miss Annie Peeples,
and one child, will continue to reside
it*. Paris, where Mrs. Boyd wittl take
active part in the Red Cross- work at
that place, with her efforts devoted
largely toward looking after the Amer
ican branch of the work.
Capt. Boyd’s many friends in Bar
tow county are delighted to hear of
his deserved promotion and congratu
lations are extended'.

There will be services at the Episco
pal church Sunday morn tag, Septem

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN
WITH BIG ATTENDANCE
Speeches Made By School
Authorities, Citizens And
Former Students.
The city public schools of Carters
ville. o|>eued Monday morning under
happy and auspicious circumstances.
The enrollment, l>oth in the white and
colored schools, showed a considerable
increase, but provision was made for
seating in the present school buildings.
The enarllment in the white schools
was COG, five hundred of which was in,
the grammar grade and TOC in the high
school. This represents an increase
cf 35 in the grammar grades and
twenty in the high school over last
year. The first grade high school room
is the most congested of all and facil
ities ought to be provided for caring
for so large a number.
The enrollment in the colored
school was 350, an increase of thirty.
This school was likewise orderly oared
for, and the work of both the white
and colored schools was immediately
entered into.
A happy circumstance accompany
ing the opening of the high school was
the presentee of a large number of citi
zens and Ibrmer graduates of the city
schools, who were drawn by popular
interest and attraction to witness the
opening of the school. Finding so
large a number of citizens and former
pupils present, Prof. H. L. Sewell, sup
erintendent of schools, made a happy
talk to all present. He thereupon call
ed on Prof. Walter Aker man, the new
principal of the high school, who re
b ponded happily. Following Prof.
Akerman, Mr. W. A. Dodd, presi lent
-cf the Board of Education, and Dir. H.
J. Jolly, secretary of the board, each
made splendid talks upon educational
! 'ines. and the useful service which.
! public education was performing. Mr.
j .1. B. Crawford, of Ca.- : villa, being
: present, was called upon and made, in
j deed, a sensible and felicitous speech,
| which was highly appreciated by all
present. Speech making n-ow being
the order of the hour, Fraud's Vaugh
an, of the class of 1916, Fred Smith of
the class of 1917, lewis Peeples of
the class of 1917, Miss Cornelia Milam
of the class of 1915, and Miss Dorothy
Cunyus of the class of 1915, each made
talks to the classes assembled and te
the spectators present, which were ap
preciated for their merit and the in
terest shown by these former students
of the Cartersviile public schools.
Altogether, the occasion was one
long to he remembered In that it was
informal and the talks and addresses
made altogether spontaneous. A few
minutes later the course of study was
outlined, a list of the text books to he
used distributed, and the school then
recessed to permit the pupils to make
their needed purchases.
