At a meeting of the City Board of Education, held last Monday evening at the city hall, it was decided to dis-- continue, for the present at least, the course in agriculture which has been a part of the curriculum in the Car tersville High School. This step was taken, it is announced, for tw 0 reasons. One is the fact that conditions in the schools have become so crowded it has been found neces sary to use the room heretofore given over to this subject for one of the grades. The other reason is that the government, which has paid a part of the salary of the instructor, through the Smith-Hughes fund, has laid down certain rules which the local board did not care to adhere to. Other matters disposed of at this ipeeting included the election of two new teachers to fill vacancies. One of them is Miss Katherine Stowe i of Mad ison, who will teach Latin. She comes with the highest recommendations, having taught last term in Elberton. The other one is Miss Lucy Wooten, of Covington, who will teach History. Supt. Robinson announces that two more places are yet to be filled, in cluding that of principal of the West Side school. It is his plan to secure a man for this place, and he is now con sidering several applications for pre ■ sentation to the board, he announces. The outlook for a successful term of the Cartersville public schools is bright, says Prof. Robinson, who is rapidly get ting matters in hand, meeting the pat rons and citizens generally, all of whom are delighted with the new official, who comes here with years of successful work behind him. It will be of interest to their friends to know that Prof. Robinson was once a pupil of Dr. R. B. Harris, who is now one of Cartersville’s leading citizens. It was while the genial doctor was a teacher in Springfield, Tenn., that Mr. Robinson went to school to him. MISS KATHERINE C. HOOD Death of This Good Woman Brings Sadness to Large Circle of Friends.

Adalrsvllle lost one of its most up right and dependable citizens when Mr. McCutchen was called to his final rest on the morning of July Fourth. William Asberry McCutchen was born in Jasper, Georgia. June 15th, 18*0. He was the sen of J.

I find many farmers have stopped the plow, because they have plowed since it rained. Other farmers say they will not pick up and burn any squares. Some will not use calcium arsenate, while on the other hand we find many farmers using every ounce of energy they have to keep the plow going, pick up and burn the squares, and dust the cotton with calcium arsenate, according to government Instructions. Ever since the boll weevil crossed the Rio Grande, and began to slay the cot ton fields in Texas, there have been men inventing boll weevil catchers and killers concocting some form of poison, all of these things guaranteed to catch all the boll weevils or kill them. Each state in its turn, from Texas to North Carolina, have been flooded with these agents, guaranteeing to save the poor farmer, but all he has been able to do has been to separate the farmer from his hard-earned money. The proper method to fight the boll weevil, as found after long years of experiment ing by the government, are simple, and the application of the poison to kill the weevil Is the most practical way It can be used. Why py some company a large amount for some patent that has not been sufficiently tried out? C. H. COX, County Agent. Dollar Day On Saturday at The J. W. Vaughan Cos.

The colored boy is Will Johnson, who said he wanted to do his bit, too, and §long with the rest cheerfully did his part. Now, really, isn’t this an in spiring picture? A Tribune- News reporter thought it was, and so did Mr. J. A. Morris, well-known local photgorapher w'ho went out to the farm for the special purpose of taking it. It’s just such a spirit as mani fested by those in this picture that makes a fellow feel like life is still worth living, and Legion Boys Stage Baseball Game Here ♦ Monday Afternoon J For the benefit of the Carl Boyd Post of the American Legion, a game of baseball will be staged at the Fair Grounds next Monday faternoon at 3 o’clock.
