By joe Bodge,
Just a few words this morning,
Mr. Editor, that you may know we
are among the living and all is se
rene. Everybody seems to be get
ting about with a single-foot gait,
notwithstanding the complaint of a
short cotton crop.
It is said that the bulk of the cot
ton crop of this section will be gath
ered by the 1st of October if the
weather is favorable for picking.
Peas, cane and potatoes are looking
well. Corn crops are fair where
properly cultivated
The Grovania school opened thiB

Oor public school system needs
some remedying in one respect sure
ly. The number of schools is too
large for the attendance. It is sur
prising to note that of 6,056 coun
try schools for whites, 2,658 of them
fall below the legal, required aver
age attendance of 20 pupils to the
school. Quality not quantity is what
we want in our public school system.
I would rather have one good school
five miles from my door than five in
different schools within 100 yards.—
Gov. A. J. Montague of Virginia
In effect the above could have been
said with reference to the pubhc
schools of Georgia. Certainly it fits
the conditions in Houston county

The Heard Community.
By Sunshine.
We are still iu existence, if you
don’t hear muoh from us, and our
prospects (for hog and- hominy for
another year are indeed glowing.
As for cotton, I believe it is gener
ally thought that there will be about
half a crop made; But'then we
ought to feel thankful for this muoh;
it could be muoh worse,. I expect
really the farmer would be better
off if he would plant less cotton and
raise more Btuff for his own use.
The friends of Mr. Willie Strip
ling regret to learn that he was se
verely hurt by being thrown from a
mule while on his way, last Friday,
to the field on the farm of Mr. J. O.
Sauderfur. Though he is confined
to his bed now, we sinoerely hope
that he will be able to be out among
his friends at a very early date.
Grumble not at your afflictions, my
friend; remember that it is necessa
ry for us to have troubles of some
nature, as they serve as a thorn
hedge to keep us in a good pasture.
Mr. J. J. Stripling left last Mon
day, for Mr. Geo. Smith’s sawmill,
where he will serve as sawyer for a
while.
Mrs. J. N. Andrews and Mr. Ew
ell Saudefur of Roberta were the
