JOE MONTAGUE 1 HOLDS THE RECORD- j On Four Acres He Produced M Bar- ( rele cf Measured Corn. I A few weeks ago we told about | aome~~ftne corn which we. saw on the j farm of Mr. John D. Winstead. This article produced a good deal of_ talk, ] many telling ua that we should see . this, that and the otHer crop. So the other day we drove out to look at < some corn on the 'land of Mr. Joe E. Montague and cultivated by Mr. Baird Crumpton. This is a ten acre i field,, and sure enough it is some good ] corn; We are not going to aay who has the beat torn, for tHere are sev- < eral prize winning fields Vn the Conn- ( ty, but we hope all of these farmers , will pleasure accurately and carefully, | for we are very anxious to know the , yield of these fields. c Mr. Winstead, and Mess. Montague t and Crompton, and Mr. M. T. Carver, t v and Mr. Gus Slaugther, and probably others wlijse crop we have not seen, ; have clearly demonstrated the fact , that there is no earthly reason or ex- c cuse for the farmers of this -County , importing a sjf-igle bushel of corrr. _t These men are"counting on anywHare j b from ten to fifteen barrels an acre , and when corn can be grown at that . rate the farmers of this County should . _ be ashamed to be caught hauling out .j Western corn. It is an old saying , ' , . . "that tUare i? more in the irsan than , in the land," and >t is everlastingly t true. If you can not raise corn" on j ' your land it is because you do not treat the land rifcht and you should f be ashamed to make such an excuse. c . . - : >hfr. ;Jpe. E. Montague, who holds ( 1 tSe "Feeofdfbr corn, prodtfctWn in this < County, a few years ago had a four ( : V - . acre field wllvh' he gathered 84 bar- , fr 7 __rels, Treasured, making an average 11 '' of 21 -barrels to the .-acre, < f; " ? 7? t | koxboro one ok ; k: the big markets.

Enthusiasm^ high hope?, and joy r. tH? tasks ahead were the dominant lote. of the' orening. After the formal exercises, each of the teachers gave i minute's greeting and inspirational :aik; Supt. and Mrs. Beam, also, and Hr?- Eddinger, who were welcome tuests during. the hour, spoke inter:stirtgly and helpfully to the school. At this opening, a handsome desk 'or the school office was presented to he school and a rising-vote of thanks was extended the boys and girls of he 7th and 8th grades who so untiringly labored on this projest last lummer. It may be remembered by 'r>ands of tiit school that at the close if?the session last year Miss Graves rave each pupil in her. room twenty cthts to be invented to the best jossible advantage during the sumner months fcr the school.

During the first three days of. ichool the building and grounds were nafc/an neat, attractive condition, ar.d >n Friday night a lawn party was fiven -to raise funds for incidentals lurVng the year. Of the $60 oleare.l >7.^0 will go to a reading chart and >ther equipment- fcr the primary yoxn. $16 to an unabridged dictioniry; $16 to sohg books used in public school music, and the rest to brooms, rraycn, and otfier essentials. An interesting feature of the work i>, OH/e Hill this year is the introluction of public school music, with Misd HuldalJ Hester as instructor: Miss Hester did special work in th? subject. at tlJa State University thio summer and'is making the couYse* >ery delightful and popular. This i'enture w>ll be watched with inter?st by other sections of the county :i.d it is lhped that it will prove so successful that other schools may put it in soon. About 10,000 acres new territory was added to this district last year ar.d >t is expected that the enrollment will anDrcximate two hundred. Those parents whose children are not already in scliocl are urged to enter them the earliest possible day.?T. - SINKING ANOTHER WELL.

The well sunk in the hollow near the old well Has -not proved very successful, in fact you can-, hardly tell any .difference in the supply of water. While it has a.capacity of something like thirty or forty gallons .a minute it dried up other wells, hence the supply- is very lillli! llluie than before it was sunk.

' The Teachers Association meets ( ( next Saturday at 10:30, A. M. ? Colored Teachers Association will ; meet next Saturday week, at tlie samr ' hour. The Compulsory attendance law goes into effect in each school on the opening day. It is exceedingly im5 portent that each teacher and every j " committeemen press this law. The < ' schools are provided for our boys and ^ 8 girls and tWe state says the fathers. ., the mothers, and guardians mutt ] send them to achcol. Of course, most ( * all the fathers and mothers, also t guardians gladly send their children - to school and are delighted to Have - the opportunity to educate their peo- , pie. The compulsory age is from 7 j t to 14, for the first six months of the | High schools and the full six months , ' for the smallest schools. All teachers and parents are urged to?supply every student with books. No One can tguly estimate the loss of r time and interest if books are lack- , . ing. It fi indeed, a joy "to be at the opening of our HigH schools. In all my yean in the school work, I , ; d#ad 'sure that I have never aeen . such deep interest manifested in the , ichools nor such happiness?over-tils.. f1 school growth in our county.
