Your Child In School
In order to pass from his pres
ent grade to the next higher,
each pupil must attain an aver
age of 80% in all subjects for
the year, with not more than
one subject averaging below
75%. Suppose your child makes
for the year:—Penmanship, 90% j
Reading, 70 per cent, Spelling,
75per cent; Arithmetic, 80 per
cent: Geography, 70 per cent:
and in History, 85 per sent. He
has two subjects below 75 per
cent; that means he must con
tinue another year in the same
grade. Also, his average is be
low 80 per cent; and that
means he has failed. By aver
aging the grades at the end of
each month for the entire num
bers of months school has been
in session, you can easily ascer
tain whether your child is mak
ing his grades.

W. O. W. ELECTS OFFICERS
At a regular meeting of the
Gum Wood Camp No. 108, W. 0.
W. Tuesday night the followering
officers were elected for the en
suing year.
H. T. Raney, Council Com
mander; W. N. Hougelin, Advi
ser* Lieutenant; H. W. Jernigan,
Banker; C. B. Cook, Clerk; J. L.
Bronte, Escort; Ed Harris, Sen
try, J. L. Bishop, Watchman.
H. T. Miller, J. L. Bronte and
W. A. White were elected man
agers.
With the new officers it is
hoped that every chopper who
can will attend lodge regularly
and make this an interesting
term. The only way to have
such is for the members to at
tend the meeting as officers, no
matter how efficient, can not
have live meetings without mem
bers.
WILL BUILD OFFICE
J. F. Morgan has purchased
three small business lots just
south of Hamilton's furniture
store for which he paid $75.00
each, and which formerly be
longed to T. A. Jeffries, A. J.

Jas. I. Cain.
Mr. Morgan contemplates
building a nice office building to
take care of his tie bnsiness. He
will also rent a portion of the
building to L. W. Sturdivant,

care of his cotton business. The
McCrory Feed & Produce Co.,
which is owned by Messrs Mor
gan and Sturdivant, will also
maintain its office in the same

An earthquake was plainly felt
Tuesday about 12:45 p. m. by a
number of our citizens. The

that it caused the pans in the
the shelves and the show cases in
the stores to rattle for several
seconds.
