Fallston, Sept. 8.—After the long
summer vacation, the school at Falls
ton opened Inst Monday morning with
a large crowd present for the open
ing.
As the school is expecting to he
placed on the accredited list this year,
interest in the school is the greatest
it has been in many years. The enroll
ment on the opening day was 210,
with many others having said they
would come if only transportation was
given them.
•Mr. VV. H. Mitchell, who is princi
pal of the school; Mr. L. O. Fisher,
assistant principal; Miss Edna Dixon
Miss Victoria Boone, Miss Vernie Sue
Williams, Miss L. Kendricks and Mrs.
Hamrick make up the faculty.

er in the Fallston eroded school, spent

mot, jr., were business visitors in

principal of the high school; Mr. I..
O. Fisher, assistant principal of the
schoo', and Miss Vernie Sue Williams,
who is a teacher in the Fallston
school this year.
The bovs of the high school display-;
ed their interest in athletics Friday
afternoon by going into the archives
of past history and bringing to light j
the basket balls of last year. The
hoys realize that this is not the right
time for the game of basket ball, but
as the- number of high school boys
niakcs football out of the question,
they want to begin earlv and if the
old saying “practice makes perfect”
is correct, by the time that the season
for basket hall is here, they should
have almost reached the state of per- j
feotion.
They will he coached by Mr. Mitchell,
principal of the school, and if the in
terest shown Friday is maintained,
after the games, many an ambitious
basket ba'l team will find their scalps
hangirg from the belts of the Fallston
quintet. The girls, although greatly in
forested in thp game, did not begin
practice as early as the boys, as the
weather was almost too warm for
them. The girls are very fortunate in
having the services of Miss Victoria
Boone, and Miss Vernie Sue Williams,
both of whom have been excellent
players, and are now connected with
the facul v of the school.

THE FALL
SEASON

be on the market. The extremely dry sea
son appears now to have brought about an
early cotton season and many think a
short one, but perhaps it will be better
than we think now.

THE HARVESTING OF COTTON
Means a great deal to the people of our |
county for it is the “money crop” of Cleve- |

landloard or banker, or whoever has been g
helping you feel good by first “paying

Here are some timely suggestions for
the thrifty for this season:—
I
Pick your cotton as fast as it opens.
Don’t leave it in the field at the mercy
of the weather.
Market it as fast as possible until the
debts are all paid.
Save all the feed stuff possible.
Sow rape and rye for the chickens.
Make your plans to sow oats and
vetch.
I
PAY YOUR DEBTS if you have any.
as fast as you sell your cotton.
SAVE ALL YOU CAN. : \
BANK ALL YOUR MONEY. Don’t I
carry it around in your pocket or keep
it at home. i
i
Get close up with your farm work, so
the whole family can take in the
