VALUABLE ACTIVITIES
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Unless you are a frequent
visitor to the high school you
cannot appreciate what is
meant by the daily auditorium
period. Worth-while activi
ties are fast becoming the rule
rather than the exception,
jliany and various programs
have been carried out as daily
feautres, and more and more
the pupils are beginning to ap
preciate the opportunity to
display their own respective
talents before the assembled
groups as well as to see edu
cational pictures and to listen
to instructive talks and lec
tures by outside talent.
As an instance of the out
side talent being brought into
the school the following num
bers are found on the record
of the programs for the past
two weeks:
Lecture “Structure and
care of the Teeth”—Dr, C. P.
Harris. Vocal solo—Mrs. F.
Lewis. “My Trip to Europe”
—Mrs. R. L. Fraser. Health
Talk—Mrs. W. G. Dilliard. |
Effort is being made to pro
vide specfaT educational pic
tures in additicm to the- single
reel variety, which has con
stituted the greater number of
films shown thus far. On
Tuesday, April, 12, “Treasure
Island” will be shown and
that night parents will be giv
en an opportunity to witness
this film under the auspices of
the S. I. A.
Mrs. J .G .Mangrum, and
baby, F^anchelle, will leave,
tomorrow, Saturday, for their
home in Batesville, Miss.
The Planters Gin Company
has had Col. Gray build a con
crete walk in front of their
property the past week which
the public appreciates very
much.
Messrs D. M. Huff, S. E.
Fountain and Albert Johnson
will leave Sunday for Blythes
ville to attend, as delegates
from Gum Wood Camp No.
108, the Head Camp of Ark
ansas, W .0. W., which con

A PARTIAL REVIEW
During the past twelve
months as mayor of our pro
gressive eity among many
other duties to perform, we
have had sixty persons
brought before us for viola
tions of the law. Nine
of these were discharged
without a fine and the other
51 received fines totaling more
than $1,000.00 This has
been no pleasant task for us
and in enforcing the law
against those brought before
us for various violations we
have tried to be ever fair and
just.
During our administration
as your public servant Ed
munds Avenue which is the
most beautiful street in the
county, has been hard sur
faced. Thirteen electjric
street lights have been erected
which furnish an all night
service, with others being ad
ded to the above number. A
stock law, the sidewalk ordi
nance and traffic law has been
added to our city’s ordinances
during our terms as mayor.
Several hundred feet of con
crete walks and crossings
have been laid and other im
provements made.
We have endeavored to
treat all alike, however we
are not claiming to be infall
ible and have probably made
some mistakes, but we have!
tried to render the best ser
vice possible for the small re
numeration received. Had j
the city been rich with finan
ces we could have done much
greater things and just how
well we have made good we
leave for you to say. With
thanks to all and ill will
toward none, we are,
Yours Truly,
WALTER W. RANEY,
Mayor.
