brother and wife and two children,
during the early part of the week.
One of the greatest needs of
Pearson, or any other small city as
for that matter, is a genuine spirit
of loyalty on the part of the citi
z.ens to the city and all its interests
The pupils of the Pearson publi<
school has been taking their final
examinations the past two weeks
with most satisfactory results.
They say they are “good and ready
for their summer vacations.

about five o'clock in the afternoon.
Mrs. Kirkland wrote and mailed a

The distance is about one hundred

traveling.
These warm and showery days I
have renewed the zest of the disci j
pies of Izaak Walton in this vicin

editor was told that Joe Starling

day the editor had an ocular dein
onstration that the championship
trophy belonged to father and son,
H. W. & FI. L. Woodard, the latter
an attaehee of the Tribune office.
Theirs was the finest string of fish
the editor has ever seen in these
parts, caught with hook and line.
it xvas a laughable situation at
the Baptist church Thursday night
of last week, during prayer service.
Whoever switched on the electric
lights did not turn the key far
enough. Elder John F. Smith was
leading the prayer meeting and
was well into the discussion of the
subject in hand the key slipped
back and turned off the light and
the little congregation was in mid
night darkness. Nothing could
have been more ludicrous. '1 he
preacher hesitated for a minute or
two and then said, “Stand and we
will be dismissed.” The benedic
tion being pronounced some one
went to the switch and turned the
light on again, which disclosed the
trouble. The incident will not be
repeated just that way again soon.
Keep in remembrance the sing
ing convention on the filth Sunday.
Let our people wake up to the sit

visitors within our gates on that
day enjoy themselves. Let us all
strive to make the day a pleasant
and a profitable one.

F'or the purpose of ballasting its
track and in a way destroy the
Bermuda grass that had taken
possession of the roadbed and
made it a feeding place for cattle,
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad
company has made use of a mix
ture of sand, clay and rocks —call-
ed Augusta Gravel. It has been
discovered that this mixture is in
fested with nutgrass *aud it is
coming up all along and on the
roadbed so that it has become a
feeding place for hogs. It looks
as if the company has “jumped
out of the frying pan into the
fire,” —and has a hog range in the
place of its cattle range.
PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, MAY 20, 1021
Accredited High School.
There have been many rumors
in the air recently in reference to
elevating the Pearson public school
to the dignity of an accredited
high school. Untoward events
which it seems no one could con
trol prevented this being done
last year.
The opportunity is again offered
the Tribune learns, and it is one
the people of Pearson should not
permit to pass by them this year.
They can have it w ith an united
effort. Let’s unite our efforts,
raise the S3OO or S4OO necessary
and take possession- of it.
The Board has contracted with
Prof. Saukey Booth to be the
superintendent of tho school; be
sides himself and wife three addi
tional teachers will have to be em
ployed —tw’o of whom will be col
legians xvith the A. B. degree, and
one of these will be the principal
of the high school.
This arrangement may not be
entirely satisfactory to sofne peo
ple in the community but the Tri
bune thinks it very desirable,
should such predilections exist,
that they be laid aside just now'
for the good of the city and the
county, and the future education
al advantages it would bring to
them. If this accredited high
school comes to Pearson, it will
come through the good offices of
the County Board of Education
and they will be entitled to the
consideration of Pearson people.
They should be willing to forego
their predilections to make a step
forward in the great cause of edu
cation,
Let us go forward!

Graduating Exercises.
Invitations have .been received
in Pearson from the Medical De
partment of the University of
Georgia to the graduating exercises
to take place in the Augusta Opera
House on the evening of Monday,
May 301 h.
All Pearson people are interested
in this event as a young man, Dr.
David FI Harrell, who was reared
here will be among those graduat
ing and from thence go out into
the world as a physician. He will
have reached another milestone on
the road of his ambition.
In this connection the Tribune
will be pardoned for recalling his
struggles in winning bis present
goal. To begin with he was the
son of parents only in moderate
circumstances, unable to extend
financial aid and help him to a
quick route to his medical sheep
skin.
He earned the money himself
which gave him two years literary
training at Piedmont Institute,
graduating therefrom with distinc
tion. He then earned the money
himself for a year’s course at the
Slate University, and four years
at the Augusta Medical College.
He never had an idle moment dur
ing his vacations or objected to
any honorable labor by which he
could earn his way through school.
He deserves all honor for-manli
ness, and determination to succeed.
The Tribune is glad to accord him
such honor.
