Georgia Teachers' Association

Association will begin at Macon on
May 4th. Its object is to promote
the eause of'edueataon; by bringing
the teachers of tho State into closer
social and professional relations;
by increasing their ability to do

the first requisite for material ad¬
vancement is advancement in
knowledge. It is under the con
trol of no faction or clique and
warped in its action by no prejud¬
ices. It is an Association of Teach¬
ers of all classes. No live progress
sive Teacher can afford to be ab
sent from one of its meetings. Ev¬
ery educator and friend of cducas

Crawford Court.
Crawford Court adjourned last
Saturday, it being found impossible
to get a jury in the criminal cases
of Joe Hall and Green Thurman,
whose cases have been transferred
to our county for trial, week after
next. This adjournment was unex¬
pected, but considerable civil busi
ness was transacted. Tho Grand
Jury, we learn from liorosay, looked
into matters properly coming be¬
fore them, bnt the presentments
ooald not be had to publish. Our
friends in Crawford have a way pe¬
culiar to themselves in some things,
but why they object to having the
matters which properly belong to
the public kept dark, without a suf¬
ficient reason, wo can’t understand.
As wo have repeatedly offered to
print these presentments, either for
pay or gratuitously, and as
with one excepiion, have failed to
furnish us with necessary copy, it
is presumable they do not want
them published. We have a large
list of readers in Crawford, some
whom feel a deep interest in
welfare and don’t go to court,
we should like to give them all the
legitimate information possible.
For this reason we invariably ask
the grand jury to order their pre¬
sentments published, either
itously or for pay, as they see fit,
and we can see no good reason why
it should not be done. That
readers may know that we do
duty, we ■ bring the matter
prominently before them. It may
be an oversight on the part of ju¬
rors, but if so it is one that
to be remedied. Their fellow citi¬
zens have a right to know of
actions, and it is the universal
tom to print grand jury present¬
ments. Wo hope they will
overlook the matter next time.

How Watches are Made.
will Mfyfiil examine be apparent Solid Gold to any Watch, one, who
a that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, a largo propor¬
tion of the precious metal used, is need¬
ed only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply tile neces¬
sary plus solidity gold and strength. The sur¬
is actually needless, so far as
utility and beauty are concerned. Iu
.JAMES BOSS' PATENT GOLD
WATCII CASES, this waste of precious
metal is overcome, and the same .solidi¬
ty and strength produced at from one
third to one half of the usual cost of
soHd oases. This process is of the most
simply nature, as follows: a pla'e of
nickle composition metal, specially adapt¬
ed ,to the purpose, has two plates ot
solid- gold soldered one on each side.
The three are (lieu passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip whicirlhe of heavy plated composition, from
cases, back#, centres, bezels.
&o., are cut, shaped by suitable die? and
formers. The gold in there ease is suffi¬
ciently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing, engraving and enamelling: the
engraved eases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID
GOLD, AND WAltRANTED BY SPEC¬
IAL CEUTHTCATE.

Leading principles of tho American Book Exchange:
I. Publish only books of real value.
II. Work upon the basis of present cost of making books, about one
half what it was a few years ago.
III. Sell to buyers direct, and savo (hem the 50 to GO per cent, com¬
mission commonly alio wo d to dealers.
IV. The cost of the books when made 10,000 at a time is bnt a fraction
of the cost when made 500 a* a time—adopt the low price and sell the
large quantity. do carefullly printing, and
V- Use good type, paper, etc., strong, neat
binding, but avoid all “padding,’’ fat and heavily-leaded type, spongy pa¬
per and gaudy binding, which arc so commonly lesorted to make booss ap¬
