Washington County’s Teachers As sociation met at the Academy on Sat urday morning at 10o’clock Pres. John Gibson presided. Hon. John N. Rogprs offered the opening prayer. After roll call and the reading of the minutes by the secretary Mies Nettie Davis the program was begun. The work of the Pupil in the Preparat ion of the lesson : was ably handled by Miss Danevant of Tennille and Miss Mitchell of Banders- ville the discussion of the topic was led by Mr. Gibson, followed by Mr. T. J. Davis and Mr. Wade Wood. Next was faults of both, Teacher and pupil in poor Recitation. "An attentive and interested pupil is the joy of ft teacher" "An indifferent teacher fails in her work’’ were two propositions ably dis cussed and elaborated in a fine paper by Miss McDonald of Tennille. The second paper on the topio was by Miss Lizzie Clark. She stated that the teach er who does not supplement what na ture, that great teacher, has begun will make a failure. Both ladies gave very Valuable suggestions with regard to oh taming the best results from a recita tion. "To wl at extent the parent may interfere with the teaching of the child.” Miss Lizzie Smith led off the discussion. Shu deplored the habit of criticising the teacher in the presence of pupils. She gave some pertinent questions on the problem of how much to teach poorly advunced children. Miss Nettie Davis, Mr. T. .1 Davis, Mr. Gibson and Mr. Wood all gave valuable suggestions. Cultivating proper In centives to student and right doing was well and earnestly treated by Miss Pinkie Walker. The second paper on th^s subject wan written and read by Miss Alma Carrere. She discussed the tiresome nature of the child and argued that the proper incentives to equal development of each was to be accomplished by the kind thoughtful teacher giving proper training to the child Mr. Wood tilled a few minutes of time with miscella neous business. Among which was an announcement of the medal offered by the U. D. C. of Ua., for the best essay on "livonts of the Confederacy in 1802.” By invitation of Pres. Gibson and Mr. Wood, Hon. John N. Rogers ad dressed the ansemlly. He touchingly referred to the thinned ranKs of the old teachers and the filling in of the vacancies by young people even of whom he taught their letters. Pie spoke of the sacredness of the teachers’ profession of their responsibility before God for the work done in the lives of the children entrused to their care Two negatives and one affirmative that go to make up pedagogy, said the speaker, and these: never teach the child what lie already knows; never t-ach a child what he does not want to know ; the trur teacher will create the proper want. Finding out what tho child knows is not true teaching. Text book questions nre not the ones to use. Telling is not teaching; do not give too much information. Education is not the being able to answer abstract ques tions ; don’t make parrots of children. His address was replete with helpful, hopeful suggestions. Teach children that education is the correcting of mis takes aud the changing of opinions. Progress is education in its highest 6ense. The rural teacher of today must assume responsibilities that were un known a generation ago. The teacher now is held as the model for the com munity. The laxity of home govern ment makes the teacher’s work greater, the child has to he taught by the teach er self government and obedience to law, because in so many homes the child, instead of the parent controls. The Christian’s standard a generation hence will he the life of the teacher. In closing Mr. Rogers said, "Bo if you would realize your power, your respon sibility, your accountability before God, yon will have to prepare yourself for assuming the leadership of chil dren to the upward life, to the saving of souls as well as educating the in tellects.” Every teacher present felt the truth of his statements and the weight of his masterful words. It is a pity that the parents do not visit the Teachers In stitute. Among the visitors at the Institute Saturday were: Prof. J. N. Rogers of Atlanta, Mr. J L. Hall; Misses Ouida Nunn, Lilly Paradice, Mattie May Ren froe. „ t3*.Seve ral nice lots for sale, on Wurttien street. Apply to S. G. Lang.

"Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be delivered to the presidout of the United States with the request that ho commu nicate the same to the government of Portugal.” Never Stops. The minister was addressing tho Sunday school. "Children, 1 want to talk to you for a few moments about one of the most wonderful one of tho most important organs in tho whole world,” ho said. "What as it that throbs away, boats away, nevo^stopping, never ceasing, whether you wake or sleep, night or day, week in and week out, month in anil month out, year in and year out, without any volition on your part, hidden away in the depth, as it were, un seen by you, throbbing, throbbing, throbbing rhythmically all your life long?” During this pause for oratorical effect a small voice was heard: "I know: it’s the meter.” —Argonaut. MRS. SALL1E fREENEY •ASKS FOR PARDON. State Prison Board Heard Attorneys for Convict* ed Woman. The stuto prison commission commenced its February hearings Monday morning with the appli cation of Mrs. Sallie Freeney, convicted of murder and sentenc ed in the superior court of Dodge county to lifo imprisonment, for pardon. Mrs. Freeney was repre sented by John F. DeLacy, of Eastman, and John R. Cooper, of Macon, while the state was represented by W. M. Morrison, solicitor of tho city court of East man. Mr. Cooper was heard Monday morning, aud at the con clusion of his speech, tho commis sion adjourned until Tuesday morning, when Mr. DeLacy and Mr. Morrison will speak. Mrs. Freeney was convicted in Dodge county of killing W. P. Harrell, and op the trial was sen tenced to imnjfj^ppmeiit for life. The ease carried to the su preme rmurt op a motion for new trial, and the very uuusual situa tion developed that three of the justic s favored tho new trial bile three opposed it. By oper ation of law, an equally divided bench sustains the verdict of the ower court. Nothing therefore rnained to be done but to ask tho clemency of the prison com mission.

(6 Chap=0 91 The Postmaster desires to call atten tion to the practice of some patrons of rural delivery of placing loose ooius in their boxes each time they desire to dis patch letters instead of supplying them selves^with postage iu advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers iu romoving loose coins from boxes and delays them on tho ser vice of theirroutes Tho postmaster, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves aud keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in advance of their needs. It is also very dosirnble that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins when necessary, iu purchasing supplies of stamps. Carriers are supplied at all times with stamps, stamp books, postal cards and stamped envelopes for each route with blank lines for your return. All yon have to do is to add your name in the space provided for that purposes. Very respectfully, 0. F. Harrison, P. M At the regular meeting of San- iersville Lodge, No. 271, I- O.
