A prominent lawyer, who is very close to the governor and the supreme court Judges but who doesn’t pretend to talk for tnem at all and probably doesn’t do so, gave me this list from which he says the three codifiers will be selected. Here uamas hs gave me: Hon. N. J. Judge John L. Hopkins aud H. Davis, of Atlanta, Hon. Joe Lamar, of Augusts; Hon. Clifford An derson, Mr. B. N. Davis and Walter B. Hill, of M-won, Capt. C.

THE BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL Will Make a Christmas Offering tor the Foor. It was decide d last Sunday at the First Baptise Sunday-school not to have any Christmas tree this year. Instead of spending money in gifts for 'he children of the school, it was decided to ask each member of the school to give ■lometbii'g for the poor. Money is so scarce and there is such pressing need for economy, that it was thought to be a needless extravagance to spend money in the purchase of dolla toys and candies for the children of the school, many of whom are abend >uily supplied with such things at home,"Espe cially when there may be many children in the city who are almost without needed food and clothing. Acting on the Bible idea that Jt is bet ter to give than to receive, each member o r the school will be permitted to make a contribution to the poor. If they desire to give money it can be contributed on next Sunday morning. If clotbicgis given, it can be sent to the office of W. J. Neel, 2)3 Broad street, ei ber on Sa’urday or Monday. If food of any kind is contributed, it can be sent to Dr. Headden’s residence, either At Sa’U'day or Monday. The offerings thus made, of what ever kind, will be taken charge of by Dr. Headden, Capt. Stillwell and Mr. Neel, and distributed in such way as to do the and reach the most needy. When the winter closes in and the rough weather begins there is sure to be the most urgent and pressing demand so, help, and the shoeless, oatless children of Rome mast be provided fcr. The children of the First Baptist Sunday tebool are now put on notice that any ( fferingsthey may be able or willing to rhake will be gladly and grateful y re ceived. This is an opportunity to brighten some cheerless home and glad den xome sad beatt. Almost anything r in the way of food, fuel, clothing or money can be used and will be appre ciated. CITY GLEANINGS.

ROME’S SCHOOLS. 7 /. .. The Subject df a Compliment ary Card. / "7 AN EXPERIENCED LADY, / Who Knows Much of Public Schools Visiting the /' Hill City. / x Mr*. Mignon L. Selden, a teacher from G«i.neHville, F>a., is spending a fa* months in Ruma. Mra. Selden organised the public schools io her city, taught higher mathe matics in a boj s military school, and has visited many of the reboots and school systems of the north. A few data ago she visited our own city schools, and on being asked by one of the teachers to write her impressions, she kindly fur nished the following, which will be read with interest by evety Roman. Friday morning, escorted by a small boy, I climbed the hid to visit the R ime public schools. I always enter a public school with something of the reverent feeling I experience in going into a church. For at school during study and p ay are learned often the first real les sous of life. While trai ing the mind the teacher can als > train ihe heart, and in bis disc'p ine he can lay the found;- ‘tion for the conduct of the future citizen. The law of the school room is the law of a miniature nation, for we find al! nation alties, all religious, all social grades rep resented here, and laws for the ind 1 - vidual, laws for the mass. And as for their play, it was Dr. Ai sold, wisest of modern rducators who said “let anyone bear a boys lessons, but let me direct his play houi s.” And it is Hue that what a person chooses for bis r< creat’on shows more his character than what he chooses for bis business. My first impression of the public school was that evert body looked happy *nd inter* sted. The fl;st is the very basis of good school work, the second en sures- access. Prof. Harris gave me time as gra ciously as though be had not fifty things he wished to be doing, and as we visited the fourteen departments of the school, the teachers were as cordial as if they were really glad to be disturbed. Even •he girls and boys acted as though they held an informal reception every day. One class kindly voted that I bear their geography lesson, but I had discovered a large relief map of Africa, modeled in clay, and fearing I had forgotten the Dime of the mouitains whose summits .hey bad covered with snowy fi >ur, and I being sure I couldn’t spell the names of Lthe lakes which they had represented I with bits of glass, I begged to be ex- Icused on the plea of wishing to hear a Ireci'atiou in mathematics elaewhere. I The second thinrr that impressed me kwas the fact that nobody apologized for Lnything. True, it was Friday, and Everybody was tired, and thipgs, per haps. were not in as perfect order as on Monday. Borne pupils were absent be- Hiuse of the grip, yet I expected some ■ody to explain those facts to PPiYei did MRfed the claes doing—he found a class of bright Bffl* writing. They could give Mnes and lines and spaces and prin- HRes in the Spencerian system of pen manship with the greatest readiness. Th' penmn-rahip throughout the school «B> ui.sualiy good. One class of little people sang very prettily, and then wrote on the black b -srd from dictation. While they were writ nr, we discussed from a psycho logical stand point, the ctuse of tbe sill questions the small boy is wont to ask. For instance, one had just asked whether “lamb” should begin with a capital let ter. We wondered which of the follow ing ciusea led to tbe queation: 1. His desire to be correct. 2 Hie knowledge of tbe name “Lamb” as applied to a literary fami'y. 3. His wish to observe ihe effect of bis question upon bis teacher, who was engaged in c mversation witb a visitor. 4 His desire to attract attention to his own personality. We decided in favor of the fourth on our general knowledge of hum in nature. In another grade the chil <ren were struggling with the n »mas of syllable*, and one girl volunteered to inform us as to the meaning of “penult” and “ante penult,” and did so correctly, making me sigh at the thought of now far be hind these ypungstera we were in my school days, when we bad no such wis dom till we studied Latin. It was interesting to observe in one class-room an almanac, being made on tbe blackboard by the pupils, and they were also taught to approximate the tem perature of a room when they entered it. Then there were written lessons, not wearisome compositions on “Faith,” or “Ambition,” but sac’s about flowers which the children had observed and re corded. Io tbs seventh grade (Prof. Gwaltney’s) I heard an interesting recitation in per centage, the students working problems at tbe board and giving rapid analysis. Iu another room I ei j ;yed tbe drawing class, but found only fifteen minutes de voted to the subject. If you will pardon a suggestion from one earnestly inter ested iu the education of our young people, I sbou’d think it would benefit tbe school greatly If the art department were extended The most progressive institutions in our country today recog nize the importance of this branch of in struction. Teachers are all ready to teitify that drawl g makes a pupil neater about his personal appearances more careful of bis books, and note books impioves bis penmanship, trains bls eye, develops bis taa'e find often tent talent) and above all is a blessing to him in teaching him to see more of the beauty in art and nature. Instead of making a hasty copy of his teacher’s de sign be should have time for original pretieal woik, such as being given to the N2cion now, through the enthusiastic ed ucator, John Ward Stinson, of New York city. It is an interesting fact that in that institute the southern students are the moat artistic and we have yet to realise tbe possibilities in our southern land, for art development Miokon L. Selden. IN PRETTY QUARTERS The Southern Female College to Move to Anniston. The Southern Female College was re cently burned out at Birmingham, Ala., and will move to Anniston in time to open January Ist w The Anniston Inn, one of the moat bMttdings is tbe state, has been ■rafor a number of years, according Mr. H. G. Lamar, business manager, and will be the college building. Thia gives a splendid and well-furnished place for the college, and will doubtless attract many pupils. Mrs. Sparks and Miss Cade Sparks, of Rome, are both connected with the insti tution. BADLY INJURED: A Hand Car Kuna Over a Railroad Ran on theX. T. V. AG. Mr. E. King, bridge foreman of the E. T. V. & G. R. R., was run over by a hand car Thursday morning and badly hnrt He was on the car going to the At lanta junction when he fell off and was run over. He was badly injured in the back and it is feared there may be internal inju ries. Dr. Garlingtou has charge of him, and hopes to pull him through all right in a short time. Mr. King’s home is down the Rome and Decatur near Coosa, and he has many friends about here who wish him a speedy recovery. THE QUARTERLY MEETINC Os the Floyd County Alliance to Be Held January 13th.

HE SAW THE WATCH- And Then Took It—A Negro Boy’s Escapade* Miss Jefferson, of Memphis, who is visiting Mrs. B. T. Haynes, missed her watch yesterday, and Mr. Haynes soon located the thief. It was Cal Ronarson, a diminutive negro, who said he took it because he saw it. He stated that a negro named Will took it away from him, but he had tbe chain. This Mr. Haynes secured and then put the police on to Will. The lit tle thief is hardly more than a half dozen years old. ALL FOR EVANS. The Athens Banner the Only Paper of Importance WORKING FOR ATKINSON. The Liquor Question Being Agitated in Atlanta. Other Items. Special to the Tribune. Atlanta, Dec. 21.—Tbeannouncement that tbe Athens Ba;- ner has come ont for Hon. W. Y. Atkinson for governor, is tbe most interesting phase of the politi cal situation today. It has been sup posed here that the strong influences in Clarke county wou'd be for Atkinson and the indications are now that the politi cians who are supposed to swing things will undoubtedly endeavor to put that section of the state in line for tbe Coweta statesman. This makes it appear that there will be some fun iu the governor ship race after aIL Os late it has looked as if everybody would be for Evans. Almost all the daily papers in the state are pulling for Evans, the Ban ner being the most important that is foi Atkinson. Atkinson’s friends here say that they are not talking poliiics these days, but are waiting. They talk signi ficantly about surprises promised for the nearfuture, but it will take a pretty big surprise to stop the l.nd slide in favor of the old general. It is announced that Speaker Atkinson will not make any for mal announcement until after the Christmas holidays. How soon be will do it thereafter, is not stated, but neither he nor bis friends seem at all cast down at tbe outlook. They talk significantly about other candidates which is sup posed to mean here either Blount or Judge Allen Fort. The Liquor Question Agitated. A petition sent into the council by liquor men asking to be permitted to keep open until 11 o’clock instead of 10, as is now the law, has created a good deal of discussion on all side*. Both of the papers have taken editorial positions against any change in the present law, and against the agitation of the question in any shape. It is strongly hinted by the prohibi tionists that if tbe present law is tam pered with the people might expect another prohibi’ion fight on their hands. Nobody is anxious for this, and the only way to prevent it is for the liquor men to lay low and say nothing. On the face of it the request would seem fair, as the saloon men are willing to take the extra hour off of the other end of the day and open at 6 o’clock in stead of 6, but tbe people don’t want any agitation of the question whatever, and the council will certainly net pay much attention to the request Amusement In Atlanta. Atlanta has enjoyed a genuine treat in the visit of the Pauline Hall opera com pany, which was hero last night. It is to be regretted that the company is so large that it cannot make more pointe in Georgia and the south, for it is unques tionably the very best comic opera com pany that has ever come south. Atlanta is decidedly metropolitan with its three theaters, all of them running in Jail blast most of th retime. The Arabs have tiitaeiu 'DeGive opera bouse, a miSatrel show is there tonight and the Princeton Glee Club comes tomorrow. At the Grand we have tbe Honeymooners and the finest farce comedy which has ever come south, Donnelly and Girard. The Edgewood is running popular prices and all of them are doing fairly wel'. Atlanta surely does grow. Widows’ Pensions Vetoed.
