Rlairsville school located several miles southwest of Sharon has an enrollment of 80 pupils this year, the largest enrollment it has ever known and the two teachers, Mr. Ralph Cain and Mrs. S. A. Mitchell have more pupils than they have time to give attention. The county superintendent of education has offered to provide the school with a third teacrfer free of charge to the district provided the trustees and patrons will agree to build an additional class room to the school building. This will in all probability be done in order to relieve the congested conditions now prevailing in the school. ? Bullock's Creek Church.

The parsonage at Bullock's Creek has recently undergone considerable repairs and the repainting of the residence yet remains to be done. Some Cotton to be Ginned. While Sharon ginneries are still ginning a little cotton and are open every day for business the big bulk of the crop to be ginned here has already been handled.

The other day he placed a bundle of dirty towels in the mouth of "trownie" one of his dogs and directed the dog to carry them to the laundress some distance away. The dog carried the bundle as directed. Stegall has not yet had opportunity to train the degs to point birds but now that the partridge hunting season has opened, he'proposes to lose no time in learning them to do just that.
