School Trustees
Hold Meeting.
Schools of County Well Represenfecb/Big
Day With School Enthusiasts
Address by R .F, Duckworth
The trustees of the various public
schools of the county met here Wed
nesday, in response to a call from Sup
erintendent Auld, the prime object
being to arouse more interest in edu
cation in Wheeler county. Superinten
dent Auld conceived this idea of bring
ing the trustees of the county together
and having a heart to heart discussion
of the best methods of obtaining the
best results from the rural schools.
The idea proved beyond doubt, a good
one, and it resulted in one of the most
enthusiastic educational gatherings
ever held in this section.
The meeting was held in the hall ov
er the bank, and every avalable
seat was taken by trustees of the va
rious schools of the county and others
who came in to hear what was to be
said. Nineteen schools ont of twenty
one schoels were represented, leaving
out Alamo, which was represented.
Superintendent Auld prosided over
the meeting and opened with a very
appropriate talk. He was followed by
Judge L. M. D. Nobles, trustee of the
Union school, who made an exception
ally instructive talk. Hon. R. F.
Duckworth, who is touring this section
in the interest of the Farmers Union,
came last, but by no means least. Mr.
Duckworth is an interesting talker and
on this occasion he seemed to excel
all former efforts. He is very much in
terested in education and knows how
to tell what he knows. His advice was
timely and will be a lasting benefit to
them in bringing about better condit
ions in the rural schools. He was im
pressed with this novel meeting, as he
grasped the object and realized the
advantages that it would afford the
educational interests of the county and
was frank to admit that he would ad
vocate its practice in his home county,
Miller, where, he said, they were asleep
along this line.
Hon. M. L. Brittian, state school
superintendent, was expected to be pres
ent, but owing to the fact that import-1
ant legislation, bearing on public
schools, he thought it best to remain
in Atlanta and make us a visit later on.
Superintendent Auld concluded the'
program with very appropriate re
mark* and explained at length some
questions propounded by some of the
trustees in regard to some problems
that arise in the management of schools

of salespeople were kept on the run.
Farmers from miles away came and
bought heavily of the many bargains
offered in this sale. This sale had
been advertised thoroughly, and the

extended to those who have been pre
vented from attending, as well as those

MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
IN FREEWILL REVIVAL
Revival services were begun at the
Freewill Baptist church last Friday
night. Rev. Horn is doing the preach

sermons. The building, though not
completed, is very comfortable and
affords accomodation for a large con

during the week, both night and morn
ing, and promises to prove a great
blessing to the town and community.
There are several visitors from a dis
tance in attendance, and before the

to its capacity. Rev. Horn serves this
church, coming over from Eastman once
a month, and the large congregations
attest their appreciation of him.

BEEF MARKET
ORDINANCE CHANGED
At a called meeting of the town
council Tuesday night, an ordinance
was passed, regulating the beef market
license, in no uncertain terms. Any
one, after paying the required license,
can handle fresh meats from wagons,
houses or in any way they may see fit.
The previous ordinance left a doubt on
thu minds of some, as to to the manner
that it should be handled, and to clear
this up the council decided to make it
more explicit, and as it now reads,
anyone after complying wit the ordi
nance, can either sell from the wagon
or market.
Miss Lillie Brown of Krick is visit
ing the family of Mr. J. D. Brown
