Important School Meeting.
There will be a meeting held in the bank hall next Tuesday at
7:30 p. m., for the purpose of considering a bill that it is proposed
to introduce at this session of the legislature to incorporate Alamo
into a school district. The town’s attorney has drawn this bill, but
wants to submit it to the people for their approval or amendment
as they see fit. No more important matter demands our attention.
Let every citizen of the town come to this meeting. Do not wait
till after the bill is passed and made a law before you do your
kicking. Any suggestions that you have to offer will be gladly
received and acted on by those at the meeting. Ladies are cordially
invited.

WHEELER TEACHERS
LICENSE ISSUED.
At a n^eting held on Wednesday,
the board of education approved Super
intendent Auld’s grading of the papers
; made at the examination on June 13th
and 14th, which entities the following
named applicants to license to teach in
the common schools: W. V. Haney,
Misses Me L. Knight, Willie Martin,
Eudelle Morris, Cora A. Coleman,
Mattye Rhodes, Nettie Sikes and Lil
lie Perdue, J. W. Purvis and Roma
Thomas. License to these parties will
be issued at once. Os this number
there were four who made first grade,
five who made second grade and one
who made third giade.
In addition to the above, there were
four colored applicants who made licen

grade, one second grade and two third

The conduct of the applicants during
the session is reported by Superinten
dent Auld as being exceptionally good,
and that they deserve all they got,
besides a great deal of credit and praise.
The limit of the agesof the teachers
was fixed by the board for this county
at 18 years and up for females and 20
years and up for males. Os course the
ages of the females will not get very
much over eighteen. If the good looks
of these applicants signifies anything,
Wheeler county will have a set of very
fine teachers.
Right here we would say that we are
authorized to state that the Wheeler
unty teachers will be paid, all due
them, in a few days; the board having
concluded an arrangement to that effect.
We have heard of no county in the
state that is in better shape than
Wheeler, when it comes to paying their
teachers. They are paid promptly and
therefore the board is abletosecure
the best teachers. Superintendent
Auld, together with his efficient board,
are wide awake to the school situation
and are laying the foundation for the
finest schools in the state.
If any of the applicants desire to
look over their papers and the grading
of same, they can do so by calling at
Superintendent Auld’s office.

very favorably impressed with the sur
roundings, so much so that he has made
arrangements to locate here. It will
be thirty days before he can arrange to
move over, but in that time he expects I
to be here and ready for business. It j
is his intention to buy a lot and build |
as soon as practicable, but will board ‘

MARHN-CROSBY
The friends of Miss Iris Martin and
Mr. Grover C. Crosby were surprised
on last Saturday morning to learn
that they had been married the previous
afternoon at Glenwood. '■Parental ob
jections on the part of the bride’s pa
rents, owing to the age of the bride,
made it necessary to have the ceremony
performed elsewhere. They secured a
team and quietly drove over to Glen
wood and they were married sitting in
the buggy, and quietly drove back to
town and many of their friends knew
nothing of their marriage until next
morning. The marriage license had
been procured from Mcßae. The bride
had just returned from Eastman, where
she went as a delegate to the Epworth
League convention, and the flight to
Glenwood planned. Mrs. Crosby is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Martin
of this place and is one of the most at
tractive young ladies in Wheeler county
and is very popular. Mr. Crosby is a
young man of sterling worth and has
many friends in this and other counties.
He holds a position with the Wheeler
County Shoe Store. The Eagle extends
congratulations to this popular young
couple and wishes for them much hap
piness through life.
