Crisp Institute will be pleased to learn that Prof. Drane and the other teachers have arranged to offer three prizes for the present term. The first is to be a gold medal for the pupil making the highest percentage in deportment, to be given by Mrs. E.L. Bridges. The second prize is to be Five Dollars in gold to each boy and girl who makes the highest percentage in attendance, to be given by Prof. Drane. The third prize is to be a gold medal to be given by Miss Susie Beckham to Music pupils making greatest improvement during the term. Prof. Drane is very anxious that some good citizen who has the interest of the school at heart, will join Mrs. Bridges in the prize for deportment so that a medal can be offered, one to the boys and one to the girls. Let some one who is able to make this little sacrifice offer this medal and thereby stimulate some good boy or girlto a higher sense of duty towards the school. Any one wishing to offer this prize will please report to Editor of the News by the later part of next week.

THE MAN WHO STOPS HIS PAPER The man who stops his paper because he is "a little short" and keeps right on smoking "fifteen cent or two-for-a-quarter" cigars lays himself open to the suspicion of being "off." The man who don't want to take the paper because he is taking too many now, hadn't ought to feel aggreved when said paper forgets to make any special mention of his fine horses which sold for a big price, of fails to reprint the complimentary notice a paper in some other city makes of him, not knowing how poor a friend he is to the printer. The man who sticks a card in his show window offering his stock and the business for sale and makes no mention of his offers in the paper, ought to take it, no matter how low it is. He is too far behind his time to make business go in these years. These facts are like the United States Treasurer's reports, "respectfully submitted." Mrs. E.L. Bridges made a visit to Columbus this week. Mr. and Mrs. Ford Stewart, of Macon, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Stewart. Mrs. W.H.

ALL DAY SINGING A SUCCESS The all day singing held at the Baptist church here on last Sunday was enthusiastically attended and otherwise proved an occasion of much joy and pleasure. The singing was led by Mr. Taylor Chapman, of Tazewell, who is a schollar of the old school. The old Sacred Harp was used, and the Fo-So-La that was so familiar in every household fifty years ago was again reserected, many of the singers of that day taking part in this late day celebration. The music was good, full of melody and free from what we might call "modern stiff." Withal, the occasion had no less effect than to give the young people of today a faint idea of the many glorious days spent by our forefathers years ago. There will be another singing at Hopewell church on the fourth Sunday in this month. Dinner will be served on the grounds, and everybody is invited to be on hand with their basket and song book. end # 39.
