Walnut Creek
Sept. 15 -- Our school began yesterday with an enrollment of 75
pupils.
There was a change in the faculty when Miss Sanders
of Athens resigned.
However the vacancy was filled by Mrs. Joe Christopher
of this community.
Miss Sanders has taught here for the last two
years and was esteemed
by all her pupils. We were very sorry indeed to give her
up, but her place
was very ably filled by Mrs. Christopher.
Since my last report this section was visited by a five-inch rain
which was
badly needed, giving us plenty of stock water and assures fall
gardens.
This was the biggest rain since last September and breaks a
drouht of long
duration.
Bennie McGee and Miss Della Mae Willis
surprised their many friends by
driving over to Athens Friday night and
gettting married. These are some
of our most popular young people and all of
Walnut joins us ins offering
congratulations.
