Advancement of School Interests.
Our clever and efficient Comity
School Commissioner, Prof. Geo. W.
Smith, is evidently determined to
advance the public school interests
of Houston county in every way and
at£all times (practicable.
Recently he has conferred with
patrons with the purpose in view of
securing their active and effective
co-operation in extending the pnblic
school term from five to eight
months, and we are informed he has
about sncceded in several localities.
He is still at work.
Just what he has done, we Eire un
able to say, but we are satisfied he
has aroused and increased such in
terest that will greatly advance the
school cause in several neighbor
hoods, if not throughout the entire
county.
He has also done much toward
advancing the public shool system
on business lines, and hopes to make
still greater improvements. It is his
desire to be able to know what each
teacher does each week of the term,
and the rank of each pupil in schol
arship g&nd (attendance. Further,
he will insist that each applicant for
a teacher’s place should be consider
ed from a standpoint of scholarship
merit, in conjunction with the age
and advancement of the pupils to be
taught
The board of education is in thor
ough accord with Commissioner
Smith.

Perry vs. Byron.
The second game of baseball be
tween the Perry and Byron tea ms
was played at Byron last Wednes
day.
The greater number of the Per
ry team, and their accompanying
friends, went to Byron by private
conveyance Wednesday morning,
while a few went on the train in
the afternoon. The Perry boys
were hospitably entertained by
the Byron team. The game was
called at 4 p. m.
From the start it was evident
that there was to be a slugging
match, and so it was with the ex-
ciption of four innings. In the
second and fifth the Byron team
was shut out, and in the fourth
and fifth the Perry team suffered
the same fate.
□While the game was emphati
cally one of Amateurs, there was
some good playing, and unabated
interest. The final score stood 21
to 14 in favor of the Perry team.
The Perry boys say that their
victory was due to the presence of
their sponsors, Misses Elate Mar
tin and Clara Dasher, and other
ladyfriends from Perry, Mrs. J.
D. Eartin, Jr., Misses Elate and
Maggie Day.
The greater portion of the Per
ry visitors started home directly
after the conclusion of the game,
but some remained in Byron until
after supper.
It was agreed that the third
game will be played at Perry, with
both teams strengthened.
Over five hundred cars of
peaches have left Fort Valley for
foreign points. The total ship
ments of the season will easily
reach some six hundred and fifty
cars. Altogether the season has
been a most prosperous one, and
much financial benefit has accru
ed to the town and section.—
Leader.
Messrs. Rudolph Schilling,
Clint Cooper and Jay Miller went

Prospects for an average cotton
crop in this section are somewhat
better since plenty of rain has
fallen. The corn crop will be
about one-fourth short and will
cause planters to sow more wheat
and oats this fall than they would
with a full com crop.

Incidental fee for resident pupils §2 25;
non-residents 32.50.
Prof. W. W. Driskell, Principal.
Mieses Annie Holleman and Mary Kil-
len, Assistants.

and under competent instructors it read
ily ranks with Hie best high schools of
the state.
The incidental fee must be paid in
cash to the secretary and treasurer of
the board, Mr. B. G. Holtzdaw, before

It will be more beneficial to the chil
dren, more agreeable to the teachers and
more satisfactory to the Board of Edu-
cationand and parents if each child is
permitted to enter on the first day of the
term and not be allowed to miss even
one recitation during the entire session.
Good Board can be obtained in private
families at from $8 to 310 per month.

How about it? Will you need one this season, and
do yon want a good one at a moderate cost? We
would fail in our efforts to keep every thing if we
failed to carry first-class Cooking Stoves, and in car
rying them in stock we have searched the markets
over to get the very best that can be had at very
reasonable figures. We have them in
The Art-Enterprise,
A full sized No. 8, with a complete list of cooking
utensils, as follows: 2 fryers, 2 griddles, 2 pots with
covers, l tea kettle, 2 baking pans, 1 plate lifter. 1
scraper and 4 joints stove pipe.
Tlie Adjutant,
A full sized No. 7 for small families. Has the same
list of utensils as The Art-Enterprise.
We have handled these Stoves for several years, and have
sold a great many. They have not failed in a single in
stance, we believe, to give the purchasers perfect satisfac
tion. We ask you to come and look at them when in need
of a stove.
