Oolenoy, July 11.--Of peculiar in terest to the people of this county and of general interest will be the announcement that A. B. Fortner, a Pickenscounty man, has returned home and will work here for the next year. For something like bsn years, during which time he has been in college or engaged in school work, he has been absent from his native county. He has accepted the prin cipalship of the Oolenoy High school. The ability of this school to secure the service of this man is regarded by those who are in position to know his true worth as a worker, as a builder and as an educator, as a lit tle less than a wonder. It was due only to a rare coincidenc2 and to the prompt and determined action of the board of trustees. "Truth is stranger than fiction." Professor Fortner is a definite, con cret3 example of the so-called self made, the self-educated and the self reliant man. Having been born and reared in the PleasantGrove section of the county, his means and early educational advantages were natur ally meager. But he possessed that dauntless courage and enthusiasm for a better training, a higher sphere of usefulness. Thus his obstacles only served as stepping stones. He was among the first students of Fur man Fitting School. On finishing that course he entered the Univer sity. His extraordinary ability as a student enabled him to graduate here three years later, obtaining an A. B. degree. Later, by the aid of teach ing and valuable scholarships h^ was awarded an A. M. degree by the Uni versity of Chicago. During 1918-19 he served as prin cipal of Mlonongah High School, Molnongah, W. Va. For the past two years he has served on the staff of mathematics of the Charleston High School for boys. lie was se elected for another year. Charles ton boasts of one of the largest high schools in the entire South. The fact that his work has stood the te st at that place is suflicient recommen dation. Oolenoy and her adjoining com munities are to be most heartily con gratulated upon her prospects for a "Greater Oolnoy" under the lead ership of Professor Fortner. SUCCESSFUL PLAY AT OOLE NOY. The play, "Always in Trouble," at the school building here on Saturday night, July 2, made a decided hit. From start to finish the audien.ce was held spellbound in interest. "The best comedy ever given here" wvas the sentiment. "Your entertainment could do credit to a much larger place," was a remark made by sev eral visitors. It is not definitely announced yet, but it is very likely that the play will lbe rep~eatedl either here or to some niearby laics from w'hich aln invitation has been extend Music bmy Mdisses Lois Crenshawv of this Place and F'ay Hendlrix, form.. erly of this place, but now of Easley, but who is still claimed as our girl, and singing by Misses Hendrix andl Martin, addled much to the renjoy ment of the large audlience.
