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. Grovania News.

Mailed free upon request. 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 down to Montezuma last Monday and played a game of ball with the Marshallville team against Montezuma. The game was a good one, and the score 4 to 3 m favor of Marshalville. Bargains in clothing are al ways desireable, and just now Messrs. John C.

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. Mr. J. J. Houser has purchased a lot from J. G. Brown and one from R. L. Baird and is prepar ing to erect a neat dwelling house on one lot and a livery stable on the other. Miss Irene Flint of Augusta, Ga., is visiting Mrs. Robert L. i Baird.
