enlarged, ceiled and paint¬
ed, and now we have the best
country school building in the
county- The patrons are soon to
put a good wire fence around
it. Hurrah for the Midway boys!
Mr. Editor, please figure this
out for us. Which is the harder to
do, pay one dollar a year for
your home paper, or walk two
and one-quarter miles every week
and borry your neighbor’s pap¬
er. The Clinch County News,
costs less than 2 cents per copy
yet some people will walk four
and one half miles every week
before they will subscribe. What
do you think of that?
Say you Arabia Sam, Jcorae

Saturday in this month and look
at some fine crops down here,
They grow south of fire railroad
