Principal Stanley H. Peavy an-
nounces that the second term of
summer echool has started off in a
fine way. The. school opened this
week but pupils will be accepted as
lato aa next Monday. The 'Work is
under the direction of the State De-
partment of Education and work
den# to this term of the summer
school will be accepted by school
authorities.' It is a good opportunity
for pupils to make up work or do
one new subject. Pupils from other
schools in the county may come here

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Secretary George ia out of the
city attending a district meeting of
the -West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce at Electro and we are unable
to get a report of the drive for new
members of the local organization.
More than fifty new members had
joined the organisation the first
iraak. More than one hundred new
names should be added st this time.
It is impossible to put on a worth-
while campaign without a large and
interested membership. Mr. George
is hare to serve Graham and Young
they are now getting. Get good
breeds and take care of them and
the small flocks will pay.
