CATLETT
Little Boy Badly Scalded—
Catlett District Gets Few
Grand Jurors
Rock Spring, Rfd. 1, Oct. 19.
Well, as Roy has gone to the fair
this week I will write up the news.
R. H. Wilhoit is right sick at this
writing.
Cotton picking is the order of the
day and the crop will be short.
Henry Stephenson’s ten-months
old baby crawled to a kettle of hot
water and pulled it over one day
last week and burned itself very
badly. It is in a serious condition.
The prayer meeting at this place
Saturday night was a success. Some
of the Greenleaf boys was here and
took a hand in the meeting. They
made some good talks. We sure
like to see young Christians come to
the front and stand up for the cause
of Christ. It seems that the older
members in most of the churches
are very backward in discharging
their duty in the churches, so come
again, boys, we need your help aud
appreciate your presence.
The young folks gave Rev. 11. L.
Hackler a rousing serenade one
night last week. Mr. and Mrs.
Hackler returned to their home in
"Tennessee last Thursday.
Well, it seems that we still have
some people in this country that do
not regard the laws of our country,
neither the Sabbath. On last Sun
day night a wagon load of men and
women passed Catlett going in the
direction of Rock Spring that were
acting very unbecomingly. If they
were not under the influence of
whiskey the people in this section
are deceived. What a shame it is
that civilized people will go along
the public road on the Sabbath
whooping and hollering. We don’t
know who they were.
I think that our district is short of
grand jurors. About 115 voters in
this district and only 7or 8 grand

ly fitted with new stylish Harness, you stand the
chance of winning the honor as well as a handsome
prize.
The farmer has awakened with a sudden start
and is exerting knowledge, skill and labor to in
crease the quantity and quality of the products of
their farm.

TRANS CITIZENS
WANT GOOD SCHOOL
Supplemental Fund Raised
and Prof. S. J. Hunt Em
ployed As Principal
The citizens of Trans school dis
trict in East Armuchee realize the
value of a good school to a com
munity and have gone down in
their pockets to the extent of over
SSOO for the purpose of supplement
ing the state fund so that they would
be enabled to employ a capable man
as principal.
With this enlarged fund at their
command the trustees of the district
school have closed a contract with
Prof. S. J. Llunt, of Cedartown, one
of the best equipped teachers in
North Georgia, for a ten months
school to begin Monday Oct. 31st.
A capable assistant will also be em
ployed and the people of Trans are
determined to have one of tho best
schools in the county, a school of
such h’gh grade that there will be
no necessity or excuse for the people
of their community sending their
children off to a high school.
The present arrangement is for
two months to be taught this fall,
five next spring, Prof. Hunt’s con
tract being completed with a three
months term next fall.
Prof. Hunt is one of the best
known teachers of this section of the
state and is secured at a salary of
S9O per month. Last year he was
principal of the public school at
Calhoun.
The friends of Henry Evans are
glad to know that he will not leave
Walker county, as was thought
probable for a time since Mr. Evans
sold out his farm near Naomi. Mr.
Evans last week purchased the
W. M. Roberson farm at Naomi and
will secure possession the first of
the year. The consideration waß
$2,000.
