Imd by ?n attractive Christmas tm,
given by the faaihy.
The tree was beautifully decorated
and bore many beautiful gifts from
teachers and pupil?.
The spring session will begin on
Thursday, January 3rd, and the fa
culty hope to have every pupil in at-
V *m*mm on the opening day.
The number of pupils enrolled has
increased by about 30 over last year
and the avenge daily attendance u
about the same proportion. The gain
is principally in the grammar grades
The Williamston school this year has
made exceedingly good progress r
all lines of its work, and the fac> I* j
and both .iave appeared to bet
ter understand each other, and work
for their common interest. The stu
dents have beet more interested in
their woik, and consequently have
r.ade more progrea» than is done at
the average school.
With the beginning of the New
Year it is hoped that this condition
will continue to improve, that the Wil
liamston aciiool mcy take a higher
place in the schools of the State.

WILLIAMSTON
TOBACCO MARKET
8
Full Set of Buyers Will
Be On Hand After
Christmas
At a recent mecging of
the Williamston Tbbacco
Board of Trade, ft was
decided to reopen*the lo
cal auction market agr
ain after Christmas.
All the manufacturers
who have had buyers on
the Williamston market
to date, will be represen
ted here in Januaty, and
the? farmers of Martin
ana adjoining counties,
can feel assured of get
ting the high dollar for
every load of tobacco
brought to this market
after the holidays, just
as they have done dur
ing the earlier pail of
thesea9on.
As has been stated be
fore, the warehousemen
have tested out ttjp pri
ces paid on this market
and have found them
equal and in some cases
better than the piices
paid on the larger mar
kets of this section.
These tests have prov
ed the fact, without a
doubt that the Williams
ton market this year is
equal to the best, and is
saving the farmers of
section much- ex
peifce in transi>ortation,
eliminating the long and
expensive haul to the
larger markets
A large number of thej
i farmers of this section
ihave realized this fact
"which is evidenced by
'the increased amount of
• tobacco sold on this mar
ket over that nf last
year, and the warehouse
men and manufacturers
are showing their appre
ciation of this by keep
ing the warehouses op
en and buyers here un
til the remainder of the
crop is sold.
