Just received a nice shipment of Percale and Madras ummer 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, Geo. W.

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.

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. —Best Duck and Bark Collars at Fred M. Houser’s. .
