The Henry County Weekly November 27, 1896
     The “Spelling Bee“ at the courthouse tonight is anticipated with much fun 
and pleasure, and every one who is interested and in sympathy with the good 
women in their noble Church work will lend their aid on this occasion.
     The fact that old and young, fathers and mothers will spell with their 
children, and the probability of a little girl or boy turning down a father or 
mother, makes it doubly interesting, and insures its success. There will be two 
prizes to prompt the spellers to do their very best, a nice dictionary to the 
one who stands the longest, and the blue back speller from which the lesson 
will be given out, to the poorest speller.
     Judge Nelson, Mr. J. C. Daniel and Mr. J. A. Fouche have been selected as 
Judges to settle disputed questions.
     The court house doors will be open at half past 6 o’clock, and the 
spelling bee will begin at half past 7, as it will take some time for the crowd 
to collect.
     We give below the rules which have been adopted by the Society for the Bee.
     Rule No. 1 The class will spell three times around before choosing sides.
     No. 2. Only one trial will be given a speller.
     No. 3. I there are two ways to spell a word, the definition will be given 
to the word given out.
     No. 4. Judges will be appointed to settle all disputed questions.
