The class appreci ates the hearty sunport tney received from the ladies and gentlemen which made the success of their fair an item of history to be recorded on their minutes. Teachers A public school teacher called at The Sun office the other day to know if we would publish the honor roll of her school. We readily assented to do so and will be glad to publish hon on rolls for any schools in the county During the pst few weeks The Sun has devoted much space to moonlight schools and other matters of concern to the schools ofthe county. This we exoec.t to continue and we will be glad to have teachers give us any items aoout their schools. The Sun's Subscribers. The Sun goes to people who want the. oauer and pay for it. we are on a cash basis and the paper does not vt, to a lot of people who do not pay for it and not care to read it. This makes advertisements in The Sun es- Meiallv effective. The people who get the paper read it and they are the mnn'R nav for what they wart. The Sun is by far the best medium for reaching people in Rutherford county Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S O A S T O R I A COUNTY TEACHERS MEET. I E. Crutchfield Re-Elected Pres ident Of The Association.
