I have arranged with several of :
the leading educators and speak- •
ers of the state to visit Houston j
County during the present year S
and speak upon questions pertain
ing to education.
Some of them are engaged in
the work of education, others are
deeply interested in its cause and
have seen fit to turn aside from
their vocation to go out into the
country districts and talk to pat
rons upon whht they deem the
most interesting question before
them.
Those men have been sought
who would come most likely for
the good it is possible for them to
do.
They have been earnestly solici
ted to contribute at least as much
as making a talk on some subject
that would interest the patrons
of our schools.
They are to appear at different
times and places in the county.
Much good will result in . our
community if the patrons of the
school children will visit their
school, and more so, if these vis
its are made frequently and ques
tions pertaining to that are dis
cussed. It enlivens the enterest
of the child, it encourages the
teacher and lends a stimulus to
the school from every standpoint.
These little conventions of fa
thers and mothers and children
and teachers are in many ways an
undoubted benefit to a neighbor
hood.
I trust that teachers will plan
for these visits and meetings, and
tax their ingenuity to arouse
much interest in their patrons in
the work of the school.
For the month of March I have
upon record 117 visits by patrons
to the different schools in the
county.
These visits are divided amongst
fifteen of the twenty-six white
school?. Respectfully,

Artificial Digestion.
Is that all you want? It is not all that
you can get. T. & P. Stomach Tablets
contain the best digestive agents. These
digest the food; but if this was all
they would not and could not cure you.
They have combined with these digest
ive ferments, Tonics that act directly on
the organs of digestion, ahd Laxatives
that regulate the Liver and Bowels, put
ting the system in condition to perform
its own work. This means that if you
will half way take care of your stomach
a cure is certain.
T. & P, Stomach Tablets are for sale
by all druggists. 50c. a box.
Free sample by mail if you will write
for it.

A missionary Mass Meeting was
the occasion which brought Dr. J.
B. McGehee, Dr. Thrower of Fort
Valley,. Rev. B. E. Whittington of
Perry and Rev. J. T. Mims of El
ko to our town Friday morning.
Promptly at 11 o’clock services
begun; Dr. O. A. Thrower deliv
ered, an earnest and eloquent ser
mon on the snbject of missions.
Mr. Whittington and Dr. Mc-
Gehee preackd in the afternoon.
Saturday morning at 10 o’clock,
Dr. McGehee preached again, af
ter which, Dr. Thrower told of
the work that has been done by
the Woman’s Board of the Meth
odist church in the last twenty-
years. Mrs. J. J. Houser/of Gro-
vania then took charge of the ex
ercises, and presented a program
consisting of songs and recitations
by the children. Those who re
cited were Coleman Hodge of Hen
derson, Cullen Burrows of Bo
naire, Susie Slocum of Bonaire,
Bob Baird of Grovonia and Viola
Riley of Grovania. Each child
recited well and did konorto those
who trained them.
The second Quarterly Confer
ence of Bonaire charge was called
to order in the afternoon by Dr.
McGehee, and the usual church
business was dispatched.
Sunday morning’ the weather
being more favorable, a large con
gregation assembled. After Sun
day School Mrs. J. B. Cobb of
Wesleyan College, delivered an
address on Woman’s Work for wo
men. She is one of Georgia’s
bravest women and is at her best
when presenting the cause of
missions. Her talk was instruc
tive and inspiring. We trust
more Missionary enthusiasm and
earnest workers will be the result
of this meeting.
The school of Bonaire is a sue-*
cess in all respects. The patrons
are proud to have such an able
teacher as Miss Fitzpatrick; her
superior as teacher would be hard
to find.
Friday, 26th inst., the children
of the school will present a pro
gram beginning at 2 o’clock p.m.
Dr: P. D. Pollock of Mercer. Uni
versity will be present and deliver
an address. The patrons, Coun
ty School Commissioner and pub
lic are invited to be present.
