The Most Prosperous Town
The most prosperous town
the one where thorn is the great¬
est evidence of local pride. It
doesn’t require mansions and
great lawns and the trappings of
wealth to make a prosperous
town or city, but order, cleanli¬
ness and the evidences of civic
pride are an absolute essential.
The neat, clean, well kept home
with the evidences of personal
interest, clean streets and back
alleys free from rubbish, the
things that may be possessed by
;all save the really unfortunate,
are the thifigs which make a town
inviting and upon which prosper¬
ity in large measure rests —
Valdosta Times.
Camilla could profit by the
above if her people would but
adopt Hie plan it outlines. The
improved appearance of the
court house already shows what
a little touching up will do.
Notice.

Cooperation in Schools.
We copy the following from
the Dublin Courier-Dispatch,
frown its report of the convention
of county school commissioners
recently held in that town:
’“Commissioner Wade H. Wood
spoke on “Co-operation of Super¬
intendents, Teachers and Pa¬
rents” in the school work. He
said the people looked to the su¬
perintendent as a leader in edu¬
cational matters, and he should
be a man who knows and loves
children, a man of character, of
executive wisdom, free from pol¬
itics, and should visit toe schools
of the county often and keep in
close touch with them; and the
teachers and patrons should
unite with him in the cause of
education.
“Prof. E. W. Childs, commis¬
sioner from Randolph, also made
a plea from the subjet. He com¬
pared the county school commis¬
sioner to a general in an army,
the teachers to the soldiers—
needing more substantial sinews
of war in better salaries. Worthy
teachers should be kept in some
schools for quite a number of
.years. Local school taxation was
commended by Mr. Childs. Su¬
perintendents should devote their
time to the work of education.
The speaker made an intelligent
appeal for the full co-operation
■of all interested m educational
matters.”
The Enterprise believes that
in Prof- J. H. Powell, as county
school commissioner, Mitchell
county possesses a leader for her
public shools that commands the
respect and esteem of the teach¬
ers and the love of the children
throughout the county.
One thing is needed in every
school district in the county
which would aid materially in the
work of advancing the cause of
education, and that is a small lo¬
cal tax with which to supplement
the public fund so as to keep
open school at least nine months
every year in every school dis¬
trict.

June 10th. I will come prepared
