A short paragraph in the columns of
the Rome Courier has just told me of
the death of the noble “apostle of edu
cation” whose name heads this para
graph. As a friend, a teacher and an
officer of the Georgia Teachers’ Associa-
tion, of which’ he was the soul, I can
not refrain from paying my tribute to
his memory.
Mr. Mallon was born in Ireland, came
to America in his early boyhood and to
Savannah in his first manhood. He
was the father of the public schools of
that city and was there the trainer of
the best superintendents of education
in our State. Prof. Baker, of Savan
nah, Prof. Zetter, of Macon, and scores
of teachers under them and Prof. Slaton,
of Atlanta, feel and show by their effi
cient work what they owe to him. Reor
ganised the public schools of Atlanta
and made them what they are—among
the best in America. Deprived of the
highest joy given toman—that of being
a father—he made them his children—
thought of them—dreamed of them—
wrought for them—lived for them.
Never did a man show greater love for
children of his body than he did for
children of his mind. He refused po
sitions of higher honor and greater
emolument to be near them, watch over
them and bring them to a still higher
efficiency. Unfortunately for Atlanta,
for education in the South, disaensioDB
in the local board led to his resigoation
and removal to Texas where he met his
death. . . Candles .'per pound 13 to 25 ote

A Big Buslneftfl,
i’aseing by the liquor house of Mr. G.
J. Briant last Tuesday, we found the
sidewalk covered with" barrels and pack
tges of all sorts of liquors from the
highest to the lowest priced ; from the
finest wines to Wheeler corn whiskey,
from Cherokee county, Gi. Mr. Briant
informed u; th ithe was just getting in
his supply f 0 r the fill and winter busi
ness, and that he was then storing a
hundred barrels of different kinds of
liquors. Along with the other depart
ments of trade -in Romo that of the
wholesale liquor business is going
ahead; and Mr. Briant, ever attentive
to the wants of his customers, is fully
Prepared to do his share, in the quiet
and orderly way that marks everything
about his business, whether in the retail
saloon or as a wholesale merchant.. If
Jon want a barrel of good whiskey, call
on him.
■1 win not stmlghteu Teeth,
But Sozodbnt will vitalize and beautify
e®, and impart a delicious’ fragrance
o the breath. This preparation, in use
t0 °ug, has not one enemy. It is a
per ect Ctesar of n Wash. It came, saw
* n conquered. Its sale is widening
laments his loss. He was so full of wis
dom in counsel, so prudent and effective
in speeoh, so gentle in reproof, so thor
oughly human and humane, that to
know him well was to love and honor
him. Old teachers sat at his feet, as
Paul did at Gamaliel’s and heard from
his lips, in a peculiar soft and gentle
voice, words that made them new teach
ers. Not an active teacher himself he
taught teachers how to teach. I feel
myself, that in writing this, I am repay
ing in the oniy way now left me a great
debt. I owe more to him—to words
spoken by him about our common work
—more than to any man, since I became
a baccalaureate.
The life of such a man is its own
memorial. True enough, in a few
years our friend’s name will be rarely
mentioned, but his influence, exerted so
quietly yet so strongly, will without our
even suscepting it, do its good work
among the teachers of Georgia and those
who succeed us. Like the ripples
stirred in a quiet pool by the plash of a
pebble and which larger and larger
grow until the brink is reached and then
return to go back over their paths again
and again until they become so faint
human eyes fail to detect the vibrations,
so the work of suoh a man is never end
ing. Fainter and fainter grow the sen
sible marks year by year, yet, unseen,
unheard, unfelt, it is never ending.
