Havana, Aug. 20.--Havana High School is to open Friday, August 29. Faculty members and pupils are requested to meet at the school building at 9 o'clock Friday morning, August 29.

On account of the adoption of new high school books beginning this term, the principal and trustees deemed it best that all teachers and pupils meet on Friday and classes organized, lessons assigned, etc., in order that the pupils may come to school Monday, September 1, with their books. It is hoped that no time will be lost as all work will be taken up in regular order, after the chapel period.

The patrons will be invited to come out on opening day, September 1. A short opening program will be given then, instead of on Friday, August 29.

It is true that some of the patrons will be put to a little extra expense this term in getting the new high school books, but if the pupils will take care of their books there should not be a great deal of expense afer this year, as the newly adopted books will last eight years.

According to a statement issued by J. Marvin Rowan, county tax collector, taxes to the amount of $270,131.89 have been collected during the present year, as compared with $295,617.44 for the entire year of 1929. From this it is noted that collections to date this year are within $25,485.55 for the entire year of 1929. Of the amount collected $29,788.91 was paid by the S. A. L. Railway company.

The bright leaf tobacco market in Quincy has shown much activity during the past week, growers realizing that the market is drawing to a close for the 1930 crop. Prices during the past week have ranged on an equal with those of other markets throughout the bright leaf producing section of the South.

Up to August 20 the quantity of tobacco sold on the floor of the Williams warehouse in Quincy totaled 497,988 pounds.

The average price for the best grades is $12 per hundred for the pesent season; this price does not include the scraps, which if combined with the best grades would make the average price for this year's crop $8.20 per hundred, according to warehousemen.

The bright leaf tobacco market will have its last sale in Quincy on August 27.

John Stanley Dies From Wounds Received Early Monday Morning When He Resisted Arrest

John Stanley, negro, about thirty years of age, was shot and killed by Policemen C. E. Collins and R. T. Freeman about 1:30 Monday morning in the colored quarters, near the S. A. L. depot, while the officers were attempting to place him under arrest.

Stanley, as stated by the officers before a coroner's jury, and corroborated by H. C. Starling, night opeartor at the Seaboard depot, after escaping from the house in which he had been located, grappled with Collins, grasping the hand and arm of the officer in which he held his revolver and during the suffle was fired upon twice, both bullets taking effect in the body of the negro, one above the left nipple and the other in the right side.

After being shot he broke away from Collins and in his flight was fired upon by Freeman, the negro taking refuge under a nearby house, where he remained for a few monents, when he ran toward Roberts street about twenty five yards distance, where he fell and died within ten minutes after reaching the highway.

The Quincy police department had been notified by the Perry, Fla., officials to keep a look out for Stanley, claiming that he was wanted in that town to answer to a charge of assault and battery with intent to murder, having shot a negro woman during an altercation a few weeks ago in which she had lost an arm. The dead man answered to the description given by the Perry officials, his where abouts in Quincy being disclosed to the city police by a negro who was arrested through the sheriff's office of this city, who also came here from Perry and was acquainted with Stanley.

The jury returned a verdict that the negro, John Stanley, came to his death through gunshot wounds inflicted by Policemen C. E. Collins and R. T. Freeman while in the discharge of their official duty in making the arrest, firing in self defense in protection of their own lives.

Havana, Aug. 19.--The Woman's Club of Havana will present "Here Comes Arabella," a three act musical comedy, Friday evening, August 22, at 8:30.

This is a Wayne P. Sewell play and promises to be the best ever staged in Havana. It has met with much success where it has been staged in Florida and throughout the Southeast.

"Arabella" is quite different from any show staged by Havana people, as it is a real musical comedy with some of the most popular and talented young men and women taking part.

The cast is composed of fifteen principal characters with four choruses ranging in size from the little tots who will be "Robin Redbreasts" to the pretty chorus girls who will present ten singing and dancing numbers at intervals, wearing lovely and original costumes.

Those having prominent parts are Arabelle, an orphan child, Bessie Staton; Bob Adair, an artist, John Boynton; Aunt Prudence and Aunt Debby, aunts, Mrs. Mose Shelfer and Mrs. Clarence Morgan; Uncle Josh, Cecil Butler, and many others, including the Town Gossip, who will amuse you with their "Ladies' Aid" meeting.

You must come and see this story of Arabella, the little orphan girl who runs away from the Gypsies and later finds a home with Uncle Josh, and the aunts whom she wins with her sweetness and charm. Later she goes to college, where lots of things happen that you must not miss.

The kiddies will enjoy this as well as the grownups. The show starts at 8:30 and admission will be 50 and 25 cents.

The Woman's Club will appreciate your presence.

News this week is like our tobacco money. It's a thing of the past.

We farmers could be lots worse off, though nothing rattles in my pocket but a ten penny nail and a 3-4 inch iron washer, but I smell peas cooking in the kitchen.

Peas and "corn dodgers" give a feeling that cannot be obtained from caviar, chicken ala king, or "joywater."

At night if we boys feel like it we can coax the old flivver to town and see Tom Mix squeeze 'em 'tween his knees 'till their eyes bulge, or better still, we can wait 'till next morning and do a few stunts of our own on old Dobbin (who isn't such a hard headed old cuss after all) while bringing in the cows.

By the latter we save a quarter to buy more onions with.

Then on the farm if we don't have anything to do we can hoe the garden while we rest up a bit, and then if we have time there's always plenty of weeds to pull.

I never would advise a fellow to farm. It's a gift. Our little farm house would just be a 'shack" to some fellows, but you can shore bet your wig it's home, sweet home to me.

I was about to forget about news, but then I'm telling you there isn't any, or else I was just too darn busy to learn it, so if you wonder what our good little community is doing come over and see.--Tiptoe.
