FLOYD'S SUCTION NEWS
Flovd's is not dead yet. Even?
though the school had to stop one |
month short for lack of funds, the
School Improvement Association is
keeping things lively. A very enjoyable
meeting was hold last Friday
night. On the program was ,1 debate
entitled, "Resolved, That Floyd's Be
Annexed to Marion County." Speak
ers on the affirmative were Aline Anderson
and Daniel Godfrey; on the
negative side were Gary Means and
Mamie Borges. The judges decided
in favor of the affirmative. Duncie
Small and Thomas Jones were the
jokers and they got off some good
jokes. Among the best was one
on Hamilton Jordan. It seems that
after soaking J. D. Anderson's old
measly hat for about a year to bed
his hogs, he dried it and put it in a
shoe box and tried to sell it to a lady
for a pair of shoes. Another was a
rich widow wanting to buy a husband,
so she kept watching the papers. Finally
she found some advertised, so
she put out to the stores, thinking she
would have to pay high for one, but
to her surprise when she got there
and began to look around she found j
nlentv. such as C. F. DuBose. G. M.
Ford, E. M. Mars, J. D. Anderson and
A. D. Jackson strung up like fish and
selling for $1.00 a bunch.
The next meeting will be held on
Friday night, May f>. and among other }
things to be discussed will be "Resolved,
That It Ts Better to Be Fat
than Lean." Speakers for the affirmative
will be Mrs. Lizzie Anderson
and Rev. C. W. Burges; negative, A.
M. Small and Mrs. Lama Hays.
The news has come out that Mr.
Oarmichael will teach the JjMoyds
school for the next three years. ,
