High school building:
America.—Sung by all.
Scripture Reading.—Rev. A.
S. Whitehorst.
Prayer.—Rev. D. A. Dickey.
Music—Selected.
Talk.—Rev. A. S. Whitehurst
made a few appropriate* intro-
ductory remarks, which were
well taken by the hearers.
— Music while grades inarched
to their respective rooms, in
charge of their teachears.
Talk.—Rev. D. Arther Dickey
here said we as Americans should
be grateful for a free education,
a modern education, a uniform
/education, and a full education,
in that the present educational
system, if followed dilligently,
makes a full and well equipped
citizen. He also stressed the
high degree of efficiency of the
teachers of the present day.
Music.—Selected.
Here Superintendent Bramlette
made a short talk and introduced
the new members of the faculty
as they approached the rostrum.
Talk.—Rev. E. Homer Tlrey.
Here Rev. Tirey gave eight rea-
sons, and explained them in an
impressive way, why every pupil
should stay with the High school
until the course 'is completed.
1. Because it pays. 2. It saves
time in the educational career.
3. It trains us to think, thereby
insuring the best of the college
course to come. 4. It gives de-
cision and grip. 5. Equips the
student to do his best. 6. Saves
us from ourselves. 7. Helps us
to help others. 8. We should
get a High school education be-
cause we can. No boy or girl

THREE MILLION '
„ BALE COTTON CROP
Austin, Texas, Sept. 20.—
Prediction was made today by
Commissioner of Agriculture
Fred W. Davis that this year’s
cotton crop of Texas will hot. go
beyond 3,000,000 bales. This
estimate, Commissioner Davis
said, was based on reports re-
ceived by him from his field
agents and also after a personal
inspection. It is 1,250,000 bales
less than the 1914 crop.
The prevalence of boll weevils,
neglect of the crop by cotton
growers who - were discouraged
by the low prices last year and
enviable. The cotton crop is
cut short, it is true, but it has
brought a good price and in addi-
tion to this a bountiful crop of
feed and food stuffs has been! MfreerAnliii and Lerore Sims,

produced. This places the
country in much better condition
than it was a year ago.
The Chronicle was lenient
with subscribers last fall because
many of them needed their funds
to buy things probably more
necessary than reading matter.
We have told many of them to
let their subscriptions go for a
few months and. come in this
fall and pay up. The pay time
has now come. Many are doing
just what they have promised.
And we believe practically all of
them will. But this is simply a
reminder that you should nbt
forget the newspaper when you
are in town selling your cotton,
settling your other accounts and
making your purchases for the
Winter. It is not necessary to
say that we need the money, for
there was never a country news-
paper but could put every cent
of income in the improvement
of the paper.
We shall havA a man in the
field later, and it will be our
purpose to cover the entire
country for new subscribers and
collection of those due. Our on-
ly reason for this is that we
need the money and want more
subscribers. We will have to
pay a solicitor, and will cut short
our income from those readers
who already owe us. If you
appreciate the paper and the
kindness we have extended,\you
ill call before the first of t,he
month and renew that subscrip-
tion. A
the lack of fertility of .{he cotton
soil are given by Commissioner
Davis as reasons for this year’s
short crop.
Farmer Praises Community.
Mr. W. B. Gardner of near
Dew, was in town with cotton
seed Friday and was a pleasant
calter at the Chronicle office.
He is one of those men who*
looks on the better side of every-
thing, and sees some good in his
community. Mr. Gardner, says
he has resided in several states
and many good communities, _
but is better pleased, with the
community about Lanely, where
he attends prayermeeting, than
any he has yet seen. He is -well
pleased with -Freestone county
and is contented to remain where
he is, like many others. He says
community life is growing better
and assuming a higher state of
living as time passes. While'
