Seventh Anna < 1 Meeting
On yesterday the hull of the H. I.
Kimball House was filled with tue edu
cators of the rising generation. Never
be tore has our city been honored with
a greater display ot tu cut ttiau on th*s
occasion. From every portion of the
State delegations came up to join in this
convention, and by their knowledge and
experience mutually advance the interests
of each other in the noble catling of
forming and cultivating the future minds
of the State.
The Associition was c-ilie 1 to order by
the President, Dr. Lipscomb. Jhanoellar
of the State University.
A (('•••ver whs offered by the I4ev. David
Wills, I). D , afier which Hon. Joseph
E Brown, President of the Board of
Education At until, was introduced to
the Association, and proceeded to deliver
an address ot w*-lcoiie. He spoke ii-
eubs.at'Co as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a source
ot pleasure to welcome yon to this city.
Your presence is eousidered ss an honor
by our citizens. In this address of wel
come it is n"t necessary to review the ob
jects which have brought you together.
Y'our e.t ling is one of utmost importance
to tue State. The changes which have
fuken place in the past few years makes
it none the less important. The oi l sys
tem which prevailed has undergone a
change, and no d mbt under the disposi
tion >>f Providence, who is ever working
wou -ers, the development f a iiew sys
tem is t<> be inaugurated by you. Pnysi-
eul interest is only to be developed by
mental power. Massachusetts acquired
her prestige by the development of her
educational interests, aDd that is the
secret of her success in holding the power
she has with her sister States. Georgia
is now awake to this subject; her min
eral, physical and industrial growth, is m
a measure to be determined by the atten
tion she pays to the development and
culture of the minds of her future citi
zens. The city of Atlanta s head and
front on the subject of education for
both races. Here it is not a system in
sentiment but of reality, and is inferior
to none other in the country. This must
be carried out throughout the entire
State. Then Georgia will become what
she lias been, great in name and great
in power. Iu conclusion, it, is rnv pleas
ant duty io welcome you to the public
schools of Atlauta, her h ospitubties and
enj lytn-nfs.
Dr. Ltpscom \ at the close of Gov.
Brown’s remarks, arose and said:
Judge Brown: Iu behalf of the Teach
ers’ Association of Georgia and
for myself. I thank you for the
words you nave spoken auu the welcome
yon have extended to us. Your words
are full of sympathy and encouragement.
1 don’t propus 1 to talk much about
our labors. The work of the teacher is
the wides. of nny profession; its otnnches
extend the farthest; its powers are most
felt: the fruits are most beneficial, it
wo Georgians care to have tha s.tme pow
er of other portions we must cultivate
them . There is a Georgia greater tnan
the G- >rg.a we have lo.-t. Tue resources
thui in‘ yet to be deve'open will make
her a power and tint power is in the
hr.on. T in principle of selt-Jevelop-
ment is the great question of tue day.
Science must be put into industry, the
from which the opposition oomes, name
ly, from the book agents themselves; be
was in favor of the resolution.
Prof. Mallon wanted to Lave the
question of text books outside of the
Association.
Prof. Baker, of Savannah, thought
this subject a very important one.
Mr. Glena thinks the whole impracti
cable.
The resolution was lost.
The reeuiar order was taken up. Class
Exercise in reading by a primary class
from Lnckie S»r*-tt Public School, At
lanta. The olass t tken was that ot Mis»
Lizzie Echols. Owing *o sickues of their
teacher who was absent, Prof. Mallon
c.iudmcted the Exercises. He stated that
the class were uoder most oomplete dis
cipline; hey certainly gave evidence of a
thorough culture so far as they had
gone iu the art of reading. This class
was the 7th grade and had read the
Second Reader and far advanced in the
T'rird. The Exercises were indeed very
gratifying and elicited the applause of
the audience.
Prof. Geo. M. Duos, of Columbus,
read a paper on the incentives to study.
L’he President stated that the p^para,
wlieu re id, were open for discussion.
Ii v. D. 8. T. Douglass, while agreeing
in the main with the various incentives
ludeu to by tue author, out must dis
sent to that of using ridicule.
Major West approv3d of the use of
ridicule, and thought it a most useful
incentive—not to be used as a butcher
lines his knife, but with discretion.
Further discussion was post^ou-d and
be matter laid on the table.
The Commits e on Membership re
ported the name* of a number of gentle
men aud ladies desiriDg to become mem
bers of the Association, who were elected
members.
Mr. J. 8. T. Lancaster offered tne fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That members he requested
to bring before the Association, by reso
lution or otherwise, such topics as are of
general educational importance. —
Adopted.
A change of programme was announced
for to-day.
Oa moti. n, the Association adjourned
till 8 o’clock p. m.
EVENING SESSION.
The attendance on the Association was
quite large at the evenin° session, fully
•s large aa upon he two earlier sessions,
We noticed a number of citizen visitms
iu the audience and a number on the
8 age, amoDgjiwhom were nc t a few dis
tinguished educators.
The President introduced the Rev. J
Dixon, D. D., ui Augusta who addres ed
the Association, bavmg for his subject
•‘Thought and his Chariots.”
He said tnought is the force of forces.
Thoughts come to us in book:, in pic
tures, iu nature, iu music and in science.
Every thought, is a glow of light,
shall give poetry as one of the first
chariots of thought. Poetry has science
for its substratum and truth for its for
mation. Poetry is a tliiDg of God
Be made . hir Prophets poets.
Poetry is the voice of Nature.
Another chariot which thought travels
is speech. Pictures, Paintings and Por
traits are, t »o, chariots of thought. All
birds are not the same birds, so all men
a e not the same men. Pictures are pow
ers which eaa be read. My advice to
those who are ambitious for distinction
is “to make haste slowly.” Thinkers

Not at all. The higher the gift of

Else why this objeetiou to serving on

the Fates to be •ummoned ? Of coarse
it is. And if, ;>erchance. yon s rve a

a high old thing to We on the jury and

Not so with old Ten end Costs. The
gods never tinkered on a better job when
the Fates ordered a first-class judge. His
prices, althongh high, are still iu keep

‘Live and 1st live,” “One price oon-
cern,” “ Positively no credit,” “If yon
don’t see what you want ask lor it.” “ I
sell for ca h, the other fellers give crvd ; t,”
are strung all round his room, aud they
mean just what is said.
The fame of this wonderful Judge has
not only gone abroad from “Dan clean
over to Bersheba,” out has reached the
mountains, and even penetrated the« nt-
oi-the-way little nook of Chattanooga,and
on yesterday one of her city fathers was
iu attendance to see how it was himself.
When old “Vinegar” entered Jonsen and
Alderman Daily, of Chattanooga, were
extolling one mothers’ good looks, and
had up a first class mutual admiration
society. Jonsen introduced the Chatta
nooga Alderman to the Recorder, who
invited him up to Court and gave him a
seat to his right The Court, by way of
apolouy to Daily, stated that he had been
sick two days, and would simply trot
out his stock walk ’em aioiuid the track
and close the snow. This was something
of a disappointment to Daily, aud he
offered the Coun a prescription which is
applied with wonderful success to the
Mayor of Chattanooga, in virulent attack
of phan-tods. Daily gave the Judge a
copy of the recipe, with instructions
how to apply it, and after Court was
over the Reporter called by ana asked
Turpin if there was any danger in giving
Atlanta Recorders prescriptions written
out for Tennessee Mayors. Turpin’i
reply was soothing, and for further satis
faction gave a copy of the recipe:

chance to do so, he let him off with five
and costs.
Sam Chamberlin bad be*»n gone from
home two years, and when he returned

tune of “ Captain Jinks,” now began
whistling it. Alderman Dail*V-id him

Am Imposing Masonic Institution.
The installation of the Prince of Wales
as Grand Master of the Grand Masonic
Conclaves of England and Ireland was
attended, it is said, with a Masonic cere
monial which will not soon be forgotten
by the distinguished irateraity. With
solemn rites the Prince of Wales was in
stalled at the “Convent General,” to fol
low the. language of the printed pro
gramme, held in London recently. Into
the mysteries of that august performance
profane eyes were net allowed to pry.
But it n*y be said that whatever was re
quired to install his Royal Highness was
performed. A special Great Priory pros
pects as two years’ degradation from his
position was opened; the G-and Master
elect entered the hall uader tbe arch of
steel, and was received i>y the Grand
Prior of Ireland, the Grand Master
Emeritus of England and other high offi
cials. Then the Convent General was
opened, the Grand Master elect took the
oath, tigned (be “roll of thd Sepulcre,”
assumed bis place on the throne, and aai
there the principal figure in an imposing
scene.

His uffection was but a Platonic love,
to which the Arctic Pole, the Pacific
Slopi a*d Rocky Mountains were lesser
myths. The rival queens met and fought,
aud knocked cacti other down, when the
gallant police stepped into the ring, and
si panted the combattants, exclaiming:
•‘Fie! fie! how wayward is this foolish love.

Through our appropriate Committee* have ex
amined into the boo.a of the officera of the county,
the dockets of the Justices’oi the Peace, the con
dition of t ie public roads, aud the state of out
aouiity finances.
We are pleased to present that we find the bookl
nd pvi-trs of the Ordina»y, the Clerk ol the Supe
rior Court, the Treasurer, tha Sheriff, aud the dock
ets el the Justices „f the Feace, are kept in good
order, legible vn.1 in a m.finer to reflect credit on
these officers. They deserve the cominencaticn of
the punlic and the people of their county e-gacivlly.
We recommend that for extra services for the
present year, tha Ordinary go receive the sum ef
twe,.ty five dollars, that the Sheriff, the Deputy
.-heriff, and Clerk of the Super.or Court, do receive
the >um of twenty uodars e.ch.
We recommend that th- Jurors, Grand Jurors and
bailiff for the present year do receive each, for each
dav’s service as such, tue sum of one Oo.hr.
We are pleased to present that the pub ic roads of
the county sra generally in good condition, with the
■ xceptiona of tue read from DougUsville to County
Line, near John Adair’s, Esq , the burnt Hickory
road commencing at the District line bi YondCapt.

the *>tnck!aad road, commencing at the TaUtpoon
road aud leadmg to Btrick'aud’a bridge, aud the
road from Reuben Vaus- nt’s to Prey’s church.
We recommend that the Ordinary notify the pro
per Commissioners of these facts, aid th>t they
proceed to have aaid loads worked at once.
Wa find that the tax paid in last year amounted to
rl,49i) 8 i, and that tuero is yet unpaid by tho Tai
Collector tha sum of $251 64. We therefore recom-
mend that the Ordinary do at once demand of said
Tax Collector a settlement of the indebtedness.
We further recommend that the Ordinary ol the
couniy lo have, in his sound d’seretion, a tax levied
sufficient to meet tue current expenses ot the county
government aud such liabilities as are created upot
the Treasury bv these presentments.

Solomon’s Lodge, No. 1, of this city,
wliien is now erecting the M^souic Tem
ple, corner of Whitaker and Liber y
streets. It was chattered by the Grand
Lodge of England in 1735, aad was re-
bartered by the Grand Lodge of Geor
gia, on the organization oi that body in
1785. The miuntes of the Lodge from
1735 to 1776, were destroyed during the
revolutionary war, and during the occu
pation of the city by the British army,
the lodge was, to use a masonic expres-
8»on, “called off,” and did not meet
again until St. John’s day, December,
1784. From that time it met regularly
untii the historical “Morgan” excite
ment, when it was again “calleu off” for
eight years, meeting again in 1835. Out
of five Masonic lodges in Savannah at
the time of the Morgan excitement,
L’Esperanoe No. 6, Union No. 10, Hiram
No. —, amd one other, Solomons No. 1
was the enly lodge that survived, in fact
it may be said i. was the only one in tbe
jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge oi
Georgia that eame ont unscathed. Since
that time il has continued to meet regu
larly. Daring the late war, the old
minnte books previous to 1646 were lost,
and it tm generally supoo. ed tnat they
had been destroyed, but a few months
since they were found, though in a very
dilapidated eendition. The books were
put in snape and have been rebound by
