that one or two such men as Mr.

could organize any kind of com¬
pany they chose, from a $ 1,000 to a
$200,000 capital stock. And it was

public opinion and confidence is
crvstalizing for or against us.

And we can ill afford to lose him as
a citizen. In a word lie belongs to
us. If lie shows any signs of mov¬
ing ofi, as lie is already here, it may
be well enough for his friends, head¬
ed by Dr. Quigg, to tie him. In
other words, we must keep him.

absolute need, forced to have help,

Next Sunday morning at 11
o’clock at the First Baptist church
Dr. Hornady will preach a sermon

doubtedly would be to throw pota¬
toes at the men folks instead of
chasing them with a broom:
Smyrna School Closes
Last Friday the school at Smyr¬
na closed with its usual enteresting
ceremonies. Prof. Davis, the prin¬
cipal, has achieved an enviable rep¬
utation in his management of the
school. This year the school has
aveiaged over 50 pupils, The
good people of Smyrna by their
united efforts have managed always
to have a good school and good
teachers, as a consequence they
have developed into one of the most
progressive and intelligent commu¬
nities we know of. It is to }he hop¬
ed that their energy m this line will
never wane.
La«t Friday they had at that
place most entertaining exercises.
The pupils in their examination
displayed proper training and the
readings and recitations did great
credit to both teachers and pupils.
Some excellent music was furnish¬
ed by the Clotfelter brothers and
T. J. Deal.
Altogether the exercises were
highly entertaining.

Spring no longer lounges in the
lap of winter.
\\ r e feel better. The hail storm
of winter poetry has exhausted its
fury on the Solid South. Neigh¬
bors, come up into the heights of
freedom and ease.
The trees are budding, the birds
are chirping, the hens are laying
anb cackling, the warblers are
making the forests melodious with
with their notes, and everything in¬
dicates spring except the stalo po¬
etry that occasionally finds its way
into the columns of the bright Sol¬
id South. But we feel better as
the poetry of our contemporary is
growing most beautifully small. If
we ai d this people are always to
be tortured as we have been for the
last few months we meekly ask the
question, Is life worth living?
AVe will put on airs when Conyers
has her barrel factory, tub factory t
ax and hoe handle factory, all in

ble enterprises.

crowd.

day evening was rocked near Col¬
linsville. One rock struck the win¬
dow facing and bounced over on
Mr. Sam Night of this place, The
rock was handed to Conductor
Ii arris.
Some men are too big to hit,
some are too little to be hit. blit it
's safest always to strike a smaller
man than yourself, especially if the
other fellow strikes hack. What is
true in other things is true in pol¬
ities.

cheese with crackers, He drank
during the meal thirty-six glasses
of beer.
