THE BULLETIN
IRWINTON, WILKINSON COUNTY, GA.,
Teachers to Be Paid
State Superintendent of Schools
M. L Duggan has jailed to county
superintendents the following good
news:
The Governor has exercised his
constitutional borrowing power for the
schools to the full limit! He has
arranged for another loan, of
$2,500,000.00 “for the prompt pay
ment of teachers’’. It is stated that
this full amount will be- available on
April 15.
This action of the Governor will
afford immediate temporary relief to
our common schools and is all that
can be done at this time, but by no
means gives permanent or satisfactory
soln lion to our problem of public
school support. Our fight, for prompt
payments has only just begun, and
there shall be no let-up tin til we can
have sure'legislative provision for as
regular and prompt payments for pub
lic school teachers as for those who
serve the public in other capacities.
Johnson’s ice cream is spreading to
the homes in pint and quart packages.

Mr Kinney has a large pineapple
pear orchard here which bloomed this
year for the first time. The trees
are sturdy looking, and beinq a fruit
new to this neighborhood are watched
with interest.
W, I. Dixon rode his wing-footed
horse to town Wednesday. This
horse travels through air as well as
on land or water and will go right in
a house upon the first invitation. A
little jump over a brush pile or the
new moon is just routine, and noth
ing to be hee-hawing about. He gave
us convincing demonstrations on The
Street, raising a little dust that caus
ed me to sneeze. I always close my
eyes when I sneeze same as a blond
does when she is being kissed. —and
when I saw again, he was vanishing

B. W. Davis has been doing repair
work on the union church and
serving on the jury this week. He
says that mixing church and court
work keeps a fellow right. Now if
the defendants and plaintiffs would
keep closer to the church there might
be very little for the court to do.
