He Has a Bright F'wtuns The subject of this sketch is one of the most popular men and best known citizens of this sec tion of the state. He is a lead ing attorney of Chattooga coun ty, which county he has repre sented for the past five years in I the General Assembly ot Geor-' gia. He is a candiriate for State Senator from the .4.2nd district and is practicailly sure of the nominathm and election. His conservatism and sound judg ment were felt in the actions of the last legislature and lie there ■ acquired the high respect of his colleagues for lias carehil consid eration of every subject and his clear perception and a tfirmness with which he dlung to that which he believed to be right. Me was born in Forrestville, Floyd county 7 , December 3rd, 186®. His father was S. C.

Wright, who) for years has been a lead of■ the cause of education in this city is the mother of the subject ' of this-sketch. Wesley' Shropshire, junior, may' well be proud of his ances-j tors, combining the blood of two | of Georgia’s most noted sons and . strongest characters, but he stands alone on his own merit and asks the voters of the people pointing only to his personal record. At fifteen years of age, he was compelled to quit school when just ready to enter the junior class. From then until now he lias relied upon his own achievments and his success has I been striking. He entered the legal arena at the Summerville 1 bar, which has given us such, eminent lawyers as Judges John W. Maddox and W. M. Henry. 1 le is now among the foremost of the members of that bar. Twice he was elected mayor of Stun- | merville. receiving every vote cast. He was elected to repre sent Chattooga in the present I legislature receiving a large ma jority over his opponent who was a most excellent man. lie has 1 always been an active supporter j of old fashioned democracy, al-, ways submitting his candidacy I to primaries faithfully adhering to the ] riuciple that a public oflicer is a servant of’the people. ! He is a genial pleasant gentle-) man with many friends all over this section of the state and wherever he is known. R. <l. Kugiin.

His establishment on lower Broad 8w - R. J. RAGAN. .•Street is one of the biggest in IRome and the business done is ilarge and lucrative, his custom-1 ■ers living for many' miles around I Rome in Georgia and Alabama.. He has made a success and it is not difficult to see why it was done, when his splendid qualifi cations sund experience are taken into consideration. Mie possesses a great amount of business talent Which he has used to good ad vantage and which be is still using to the continual growth and prosperity of ! -his business. He possesses many fine traits of 1 character which make him popu lar and which when combined with his business ability add to the business new friends ;amd customers continually. J. D. HA'KKS.

DISCIPLINE. The most essential requisite for the success of a school is good discipline. There are only a few minds with the qualities required to influence and control other minds. Only per‘-on s with such requisites are successful disciplinarians; only successful dis ciplinarians are successful controlling teachers. It would be hard to name these necessary qualities but it is easy to discern their presence or ab sence in a teacher when we go into a school room. They are natural en dowments but can, to a limited ex tent, he acquired. The secret of a controlling disposi tion lies in the union of firmness and pleasantness. Show the pupils the benefit and absolute necessity of order in the school room, then require it to b? kept. If no other means will keep it use the rod wit h the freedom of one who has read Solomon's advice: “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” Make the school room pleasant, espe cially the recita'ion; tell anecdotes and let the children laugh often enough to feel tree and easy. Make the children love you for your firm ness, cheerfulness and for your inter est in their joys and sorrows, successes and failures. I don’t believe in corpoial punish- THE iiOME iItIHLNE.

Theteacher who advocate the sole use of the ‘‘single gold standard” of love is either just out of a normal college, full of its ideal system, or is needing some of the material that he professes to give to the children Children that are controlled at 1 home and trained by cultured and relined mothers, will need no punish- I ment at school. But those who have been “Torched up” instead of being raised will soiueumes require the lash. No one is more than 1 an advo cater of the law of love, especially toward the larger girls, but some times the less pleasant law of duty must be enforced. A well disciplined school will con* tinue mora than anything else to a law abiding citizenship. Some ot the schools of this section of the country are sadly in need of better discipline. The rising generation needs law and order as winch as learning; there is a growing tendency .to neglect it. PKOFESSLONAL CAKDB Dr. HENRY H.BATTEY SURGEON AND PHYSICIAN, ROME. - . GEORGIA. DR. R. M.
