Death Of C. C. Brewer
Alto High School
The work of the school is
moving off nicely, The teach-
ers and pupils are adjesting
themselves to their situations,
aud all seem to be entering
into their work with a mark-
ed degree of interest and en*
tl.usiasm. The enrollment
for the firse week reached 240
and several more have-;utered
this week. Taking all things
into consideration, the outlook
for a successful and prosper-
ous school year is most flatter-
ing.
We want to keep it promin-
ently before the miuds of our
patrons that the success of
the school will depend very
largely upon the attitude to-
wards the management of the
school is one of the best as-
sets that a town can have to
its credit; so it behooves us all
to put forth every effort pos*
sible to advance 1 the interest
of the school, Let us not for-
get that we can make or mar.
Give the school your hearty
support and co-operation and
you make it worth while;
withhold that support, criticize
the mangement adversely and
throw obstacles in the way,
and you mar it, and it will
surely fail to efficient word.

torium last Wednesday night,
