AmongTtiose Who Have
j Faith In The Home Paper
i ■
j Our good friend Mr. J. T. Rhodes
called on the Meteor last Saturday
\ and paid up his subscription. Mr.
' Rhodes is one of our old standbys and
^ we appreciate his visit very much.
j as. Miss Mae Pearl Brownlee.
Mr. Leo Knox who has joined the
business circles of our city had the
Meteor sent to his address at Crock-
ett for another year while here this
week.
Mrs. J. C. Dean called on us while
here Monday and had the Meteor
sent to her address at Galveston for
another year. Mrs. Dean is the
daughter of Mr. W. R. Brownlee who
was brought here for burial Sunday
from Orange. She was reared in
Madisonville and will be remembered
Mr. W. J. Lollar called on the
Meteor Monday morning and paid
his subscription for another year.
Mr. Lollar is one of our good citizens
who has helped to build Madisonville.
He is a brick mason and believes in
every body doing his parj. for his com-
munity on a square deal basis and he
practices what he preaches.
After some consideration and
speculation as to when the new High
School building would be ready for
occupancy, it has been decided by the
board to begin school at the old
building Monday morning. The
furniture and fixtures have not yet
arrived for the new building and the
high school will be moved over just
as soon as these can be had and
installed.
The impression has gone out that
all children who are six years old
by September 1 this year are entitled
to free tuition in the school. This
is not true, as the Legislature made
the provision that the new law would
go into effect in 1930. All children
who are six years old will be entitled
to attend school after paying the
tuition if they were six before the
first of September and will be enti-
tled to free school after this year.
Superintendent R. A. Manire says
that the best arrangements will be
made at the old building possible un-
til the new building is finished. Of
course, this will not be as they ex-
pected, as every body was expecting
the new building to be ready by the
opening of school. The delay has
been caused however on account of
contractors blowing up on the job
and a new contract having to be
let to complete the work. This \i
of course unavoidable,- by both the
faculty and school board which is
regretted by all concerned.
The following is the complete two
days' schedule of the two trips to be
made by Madisonville citizens in an
|
automobile calvacade on September
16 and 17. The purpose of the itin-
j erary is to visit the surrounding com-
munities and towns and invite the
population of the centers visited to
pome to the Madison County Fair on
September 23, 24 and 25. The sche-
j dule is given as follows:
