Our Country Schools.
The resolutions passed by the
Wayne and iir ;e county teach
ers mstitute will be found in this
issue. Much work has kept us
£n>m giving them earlier.
For mauy years these two coun
ties have held their institutes
,
jointly. The present session was
perhaps more successful than any
former one. Nearly every teach
er from each county was there,
and they were prompt and regular
ini attendance. I wish to thank
R–p teachers of Wayne, for the
splendid gho wing they make.
Prof. W. A. Little of the Ab
beville school was instructor for
the institute, and there is not a
better one in the state. He gave
practical work and had every
teacher take same part.
We believe it will be only a
short time before the people of
Wayne will accept a local school
tax. The recommendation by the
Grand Jury last week iu regard to
local school taxation will have
a far-reaching effect, Send
meet is spreading in favor of bet
ter schools.
Mr. Hartig of the Sentinel de
serves much credit for the splen
did work he is doing aloug this
line.

In the minutes of the Board of
Education will be found the names
of those who were successful in
the recent examination.

Resolutions
Resolved, 1. That we the
teachers of Pierce and vt ayne
counties desire to thauk the good
people of Blackshear for their

istic of South Georgia. Also we
desire to thank Mrs. J. 0. Ward
for her most excellent music ron
derod us at our opening exercises.
We also desire, to thank Mr. B.
D. Rrautlev for his great kindness
and the interest he took in show
mg and explaining to t he teachers
through the Blackshear Manu
facturine tat taring Plant riant and and JSlaoksheai Blackshear
Bank, which was a source of prof
it as well as pleasure to us all.
Resolved, 2. That we thank
©nr ahle commissioner Hon. J. A.
Harwer of Pierce county and Hon.
B. D. Purcell of Wayne county
for their kind assistance shown
the teachers during the week.
They are true types of Georgia
and will ever-be held in

tions.
Resolved, 3. That we thank
©nr most efficient and able COI>
ductor Prof. W. A. Little of Ab
beville. Georgia, for his excellent
instructions during the week, and
G. E. Bureaus testifies after

nize Prof. Little as being a great
man who can impart philosophic
al thoughts in the simplest man
ner. We think it a benefaction
to teachers to have in their midst
an educator of such keen insight
and profound knowledge.
Resolved, 4. That the Boards
of education of Pierce and Wavne
counties be requested by their
commissioners t:> pay the teachers
their regular salary for the week
spent at the institute, Beaming
the great good the Institute work
will have upon the schools, and
also the meager salaries ,paid
teachers is our reason for making
this request.
Resolved, 5. That a copy of
these resolutions be furnished to
each of the county papers for

When the Snuffbox Went Round.
A curious characteristic of the earlier
days of club life was the almost uni
versal practice of snuff taking and its
very slow replacement by the use of
tobacco. It was part of a gentleman’s
education to manipulate a snuffbox ele
gantly, and the possession of a number
■ of costly specimens of these receptacles
was Indispensable, explaining why
snuffboxes of every variety In gold,
silver, enameled and jewel lncrusted,
are nowadays so largely found among
the curiosities of the collector. There
were snuffboxes kept full in every
room In the clubhouse, and the fre
quent call for it by an Irritable old
member was one of the hits In Bul
wer Lytton’s play “Money.” The sup
ply of snuff was made gratis to mem
bers. The cost amounted to £20 or
£30 a year, and as the Indulgence In
tobacco iu this form gradually gave
way to that of smoking the expendi
ture was thought unnecessary.—Fort

The Sphinx.
The word sphinx is from the Greek
and means the strangler and was ap
plied to a fabled creature of the Egyp
tians which had the body of a lion, the
head of a man or an animal and two
wings attached to its sides. In the
Egyptian hieroglyphs the sphinx sym
bollzed wisdom and power united. It
has been supposed that the fact that
the overflow of the Nile occurred when

this idea seems quite unfounded. In

Entered the Ministry.
Mother Hen after her brood of nine
had obtained a firm hold on life called
them together to counsel them on the
duty they owed to one another, but
particularly on the duty the eight girls
owed to the one boy of her family. The
girls were to be mindful of Willie’s
rights, to call him when a choice mor
sel was unearthed, to prevent him
from quarreling and to bring him back
when he wandered from the barnyard.
One day during a sisterly quarrel

“Cluekety, cluckety, cluck," answer
ed the sisters In one voice, which trans
lnted means, ‘‘Where Is your brother?"
and they answered, “The minister vis
ited the house, and brother got It In
the neck.”
Mother Hen was downcast, but she
quickly recovered ber composure aud
said:
“Cluekety, cluckety, cluck: clock,
cluck, cluckety,” which Is: “I am sorry
for poor Willie. I rejoice, however,
that he has entered the ministry, for
lie would have made a poor layman.”

The Slow, Pottering Gordon Setter.
Years ago the Gordon setter was
quite a favorite and much In use by
sportsmen of this country. In later
years, however, this really good dog
was displaced in greater part by the
pointer and English setter. The Gor
don, says Ed F. Ilaberlein In Hogdom,
Is the largest and heaviest of all bird
dogs, more clumsy and usually slow.
Where most hunting is done In wood
land and thickets aud ft slow working
dog Is needed so ns not to get “lost”
almost continually ho fills the bill well
—works close to gun, has good nose, Is
steady on point and If properly trained
a very good retriever from land and
water. The Gordon Is easily trained
and retains his training well. Is also
of good pleasant disposition and an ad
mirable companion. At this age, how
ever, when so very much stress is laid
on speed and wide range, the Gordon
Is not “in It” because he Is a slow,
pottering dog as a rule.

“An army officer In charge of a na

“The boy was delighted with the gift
and at once sat down and put the boots

had, and for several days afterward he
strutted proudly about the camp in
