Smith was then summoned from here by telephone, and soon succeeded in arousing the sleeping negro, who proved to be Alpho'nse McNeill, a negro boy about 16 years of age.

Provide Better School Facilities - What can be done in this county to arouse more interest In education and secure better educational facilities for our children? Every thoughtful man must know that children scarcely hope to secure even the rudiments of an education In schools open-four months and closed eight months In the year Such a man must also know, that the school term Ms to be lengthened more money must be provided. Every thoughtful man must know too , that good teachers and comfortable houses and decent equipment are necessary for the proper education of children and that these cost money. More and better education then means more money.! The people of each coinmun lty must rely upon themselves to Bupply this money. It is the duty of each community to provide as best it can for its own moral and intellectual development, and it is the duty of the, teachers and all school officials to preach this doc trine in every district throughout the county. No child should attend school In a building less decent than his home, and the school officials are the appointed guardians to see to it that the comfort and appearance of the schoolroom and surroundings are such as to make healthier and better chil dren. The committeemen must organize and work with the patrons to see ! this necessity. Marriage at Seven Springs. Newbero Journal: ' '': , V'..- '' H- ? Mr. G. A.
