Married on the Train,
The passengers on the out-going
evening train ori the East and
West railroad oh Tttesday last,
wete made witnesses of ft-iiovel event
—a marriage on the train. Conduc
tor Lester had had intimations before
hand touching the {irobabilities of
the event, and had ali on board on the
qui vive. When the train stopped at
Deaton’s, a couple whose actions all
evinced excitement, hurriedly board
ed the East and West train, having
come in on the Etowah and Deaton
Mad, and awaited at the junction its
coming. Viewing matters with a
keen eye, Mr. Lester asked where
the minister was, and casually turn
ing his head, instantly found an an
swer to his question by observing an
individual expectantly waiting at a
point a short way down the track.
He polled up and the individual
steppedabaard, and proved to be Rev.
Mr. Tant, of Taylorsville. Upon a re
quest, Mr. Lester agreed to wait the
train, the pleasures of being auxiliary
in carrying out so novel a scheme to his
mind, doubtless compensating for a
slight delay tlie engineer was willing
to make up, and the clerical man pro
ceeded to business as the couple stood
up in the aisle, and the curious pass
engers by turning their faces on the
tyer and the tyees, creating an inter
ested audience. In a hasty but satisfac
tory manner he tied the nuptial knot,
and the couple, after hearty congrat
ulations from all hands, took a seat
and were soon speeding away, appar
ently as happy as larks. The groom
was Mr. Eugene Fields, an industri
ous and worthy engineer on the E. A
D., and the bride was Miss Leila Du
pree, of Etowah, who is said to be
pretty, amiable and quite popular.
Having become enamored of each
other, they several times sought to
bring affairs to an issue, and were
thwarted in their efforts by the pa
rents or tne young lady, who opposed
the union. Whereupon, they hit up
on a plan of runaway, which proved
successful, and verified in their case
the old saying that “Love laughs at
locksmiths.” They go on a visit to
the groom’s people near Calhoun.
Polk’s Representative.
It is with genuine pleasure that we
transfer to our columns the very flat
tering notice of Mr. R. W. Everett,
contained in a letter from the Capitol
to the Augusta Chronicle and Consti
tutionalist. Endorsing, as we do, its
expression in regard to his work as a
servant of his people, we regret we
can offer nothing in words tostrength-
en the testimonial, as the correspon
dent seems to have stated well his
virtues as a Legislator, and seems to
have said nohe too much. His peo
ple have doubtless seen with no small
degree of pride, evidences of his wis
dom, watchfulness and fidelity to
their interests, in overlooking the
proceedings of the House. The cor
respondent says:
Not far from Mr. Eason sits thcHon.
R.W.Kverett.pf JVflk countv-a gi
inair and true. He never mo.
roll call at college or in thearmy, or,
I may add in the House. He is a
graduate of Mercer University. He
is a gentleman of ability and withal
one of the most pleasant mannered in
the House. He is quiet, ‘ sure and
reliable. Quiet,as a rule he occasion
ally springs to his feetund makes the
“welkin ring.” The House has
learned to listen to him, for he is a
good speaker, and pointed. Polk
county never has had a more faithful
or useful Representative. If she
will cousult her own interests Mr.
Everett will be returned to tlie next
Assembly and the next, and the next.
Each session wiil add to his already
splendid stock of knowledge and the
more fully equip him for his work.
The writer is tempted to enlarge upon
this last thought. Delicacy, how
ever, forbids.

The Phantom Ball.
The phantom ball at Philpot’s hall
on Friday night last, as a pleasurable
event was a notable success. Tlie
crowd was large and included a num
ber of visitors from near-by points.
The gallantry and beauty of Rock-
mart and Rome’s representatives
were peculiarly manifest. The mu
sic was furnished by the Rome color
ed string band, and gave good satis
faction. The management of the af
fair throughout was creditable, and
tiie multiplicity of the devotees of
Terpischore in this land of soberness
was especially remarkable. There
were only a few mere spectators in
the crow’d. The crowd lingered until
a late hour, we ore told, loth to leave
the scene of gayety, and if the atfair
is not repeated soon it will not be be

Mr. Editor :—I unexpectedly vis
ited the school of Wm. Janes to-day,
aad am constrained, by your permis
sion, to record a few observations in
cident to my visit. I was happy to
fiad it to be public Friday. There
was a large crowd out. The exercises
consisted of spelling match, speeches
and compositions, interspersed with
music, and closing by an amusing di
alogue. A speech written by Mr. A.
S. Brooks was splendid, and was de
livered with much case and compos
ure. I was present during part the
day while recitations were in prog
ress, and was charmed with the good
lessons and splendid order. Mr. Janes
has his school under perfect control,
and keeps good discipline atali times.
His school numbers fifty pupils.
Talking with some cf his patrons, I
find that they are all highly pleased
with the progress of his pupils, and
predict for him success as a tutor.
Mr. Jones is one of Cedartown’s boys
who deserves well. He has attained
competency by cleae application and
a vigorous purpose.

Eirrrcfr. Advertiser A resolu*
God laid before the late Grand Jury
to extend the public school term to
five months, has occasioned much re
mark and discussion in the county
for the last few days. In common
with all teachers, with the officers' of
the Board of County School Commis
sioners, Mr. J. S. Noyes and Mr. T.
L. Pittman, with Mr. W. C. Barber
and other citizens, I favored the res
olution, believing that such a course
would at once relieve the present
short term of its disadvantages, and
add four-fold to the utility of our
schools. Our position is not under
stood, and at the request of other
friends of the resolution, I will, for
the first time through your columns,
vinindicate it.
To those who hold that the resolu
tion smacks of socialism and numer
ical despotism, that it is an effort to
coerce the prosperous few by the
votes of the thriftless many, I have
but this to say: Whenever I am con
vinced that the tax-payers, after a
tall understanding of the question,
are averse to it, from that self-same
moment I reverse my position. To
preserve private holdings and earn
ings from the vile and unholy grasp
of communistic legislation fa the first
duty of n ciiteen, and I wiH aban
don the cause I now uphold, if the tax
payers of Polk county disagree with
me. It is to intelligent, industrious
citizens, and to them alone, I would
address all my arguments.
WITH THE NEGRO QUESTION
I have nothing to do, since our school
laws wisely give the most plenary
discretion to the county commission
ers in the employment and pay of
teachers. Owing to this fact, the
negro does net receive more than one-
fifth uf the school hind in Georgia,
and I dismiss him with the remark
that 1 have no sympathy with the
man whose “pious feelings” for the
negro overthrows his sense of duty
to his own race. The South must
ever be governed by Southerners,
and the negro, from the very nature
of things, must be a laborer for years
to come. From his rights as a citizen,
however,I would net exclude him and
I hope a few' generations hence will
find him loyal, intelligent, and
prosperous.
THE THREE MONTHS TERM.
The public school system as it now
operates, opens schools in most neigh
borhoods where the number of chil
dren authorizes, but they fall short
of being “free schools,” because pat
rons can secure teachers only by sup
plementing the public fund by pri vate
subscription. Not all of these schools
are open for the short space of sixty
days, but many run from thirty-five
to fifty days. Very few coramitties
secure schools except for this short
time, and the teachers, as a rule, are
wholly unfamiliar With the science
and methods of teaching. Because
we’ have a public fund, or pittance
rather, the rural districts of this coun
ty depend alone on the public term,
and, view this question from what
ever standpoint we may, one must
admit that the education of the mass
es rests with dependence absolute on
our glorious (?) system of common
schools. For nine months in each
year, nine-tentlis of our children arc
utterly destitute of school advantages
and are suffered to lose by disuse the
little of mental and moral culture af
forded by the sixty days term
A child once defined the memory
as “something to forget with,” hence,
a nine months vacation is fatal to any
practical results in education. Reg
ular study is the only road to knowl
edge, because, with the educator as
with the planter, before cultivation
can begin, tlie land must be cleared
and subsoiled.
TIIE REMEDY
is of course to lengthen the term. “A
pupil will learn four times as much
by the five months project, as by the
present system,” was remarked to
me the other day by a successful
teacher. Worthy teachers can be se
cured, and with schools open half the
the year, ample opportunity is then
offered the humblest citizen of giving
to his children the priceless advan
tage of an elementary education. For
so paltry a sum as one dollar on the
thousand,.this can be accomplished.
Strange it is, that many wealthy cit
izens avowedly cherish a deeply root
ed dislike to the education of the
poor as tending to discontent and
the overthrow of an orderly subordi
nation of eiass to class. A pfiiian-
i surely, but no new
enemy in the history of education;
far lt-WM thoQ^hi la* Rngljina, Lt.i
to the passage of the Reform Bill in
1832, that “ignorance of the people
was necessary to their obedience to
law,” and in FVance the frugal, pa
tient peasant refused to educate his
child because it “unfitted him for the
life of toil which was his destiny.”
Such objections in the light of history
melt into view less air—England now
has compulsory education at a cost of
twenty millions, while the govern
ment of France donates ten millions
to the hallowed cause anj boasts the
most prosperous peasantry on the
globe. “The boy Is father to the
man,” says one; “It fa cheaper to
build academies than prisons,” says
another. If it be wisdom in a parent
to educate, why fa it not true of a
State ? If we are already taxed to
support an ineffectual system of edu
cation, does not economy demand
that enough should be added to mat.
it an effectual one ?
Am I an enthusiast ? Listen to
A SWEET SONG FROM FROSAIG HIS
TORY.
I glean the facts from “The lfith
Century,” a history by Robert Mac-
Kenzie: In the Southern' fheiae,
cot far from the equator, he the Sand
wich Islands, the existence or which
was made known to Edtope la 1778
groves of bread-fruit trees, the cocoa-
nut, sugar-cane, Cotton and coffee
plants grow without human care j and
fish swarm her shores: Nature', in
her most bountebus liiood, profusely
endowed these Ibvely islands; But
the inhabitants hiid sunk to this low
est depth of degfedation. They fed
on raw fish and the flesh of dogs. In
toxication was widespread, and hu
man sacrifices frequent-. The family
relation was unknown and licentious
ness unrestrained. Two-thirds of
the children born were strangled, and
population was fast diminishing un
der the wasting influence of vice.
In 1819, there sailed a small mis
sionary party from Boston, who per
suaded the King of the Sandwich Is
lands and hfa court to take lessons in
reading and writing, and the chief
people were induced to follow the
royal example. In a few years the
observance of the Sabbath was en
joined by law, and applications for
baptism were received. Gradually,
churches find schools were b’jilt, and
the whole population were under the
iuflueuce of Christian teaching. In
the course of years. Christian marri
age was adopted, a temperance socie
ty formed, and oae-third of the peo
ple were attending school. In I860,
the in fasten was closed. Its entire
cost, the e&t of turning tills little na
tion to God, was greatly less than the
money required to construct one iron-
ehul ship-of-war.
Under the electric light of this ex
ample ofthe force of education, who
will say withhold it from any human
being whatever. Ask any intelligent
Methodist what was the theory of
their great missionary, Young J. Al
len, for Christianizing China. Was
it not through her schools ? Instan
ces may be multiplied. Why fa it
that New York, Pennsylvania and
Mussaehusetts are more enlightened
and thriBy than Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi ? A casual glance at
our late census declares, beyond cavil,
an increase of poverty and crime
wherever we find an increase of illit
eracy. The schoolmaster must l*
sent abroad, or our sister States will
outstrip Us in all that makes a State.
A wave of universal education fa
following the wake of Christianity;
“The world moves, and we must
move with it,” said a Georgia
statesman.
The hjstory of public schools in
Polk county fa interesting and en
couraging. Fifteen years ago, the
Judge of the Superior Court could
not find tenough favorably disposed
men to appoint to its full comple
ment, a board of school commission
ers; now, whoso base as to refuse
his assistance ?
Hainan history fa a record of prog
ress, of continual advancement from
a lower to a higher plane of intelli
gence and well-being, and history has
vindicated in every instance, tiie
adoption of local luxation to support
what was called by the Constitution
of 1877, a “thorough system of com-
uionscoaols.” By those who appreci
ate the ennobling influence of a well
regulated system of public instruction,
reform is loudly called for; this, how
ever, fa a question to be decided by
tlie tax payers, and to them I submit

most valuable family medicine. ltd sales
now far ex jeed those of any medicine on
our shelves. We say to every purch aser,
“If this medicine does you no good, re
turn the empty bottle and we will re
fund your money.” Of more than one
thousand bottles sold we have had one
bottle returned. No one takes any risk
in using this Tonic. There is nothing in
it that will do the least harm to any part
of the system, and if it does no good it
josts you nothing. It is beneficial to
:x»rsons of any ago or sex. It is tonic,
liuretic and alterative in its action. It
nay be used with beneut for indigestion,
•aundiee. •ourstomach, dyspepsia, heart-
hum, liver comp-aint, torpid or inactive
bowels, kidney disorders, diarrhoea,
headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, back
ache, pains in tho joints and limbs, stiff-
cess and soreness in the muscles, and
•or any impoverished or disordered state
sf the blood It promoi-es digestion,
regulates the appetite, enriches and puri
ties the blood, invigorates the nervous
system and gives tone, strength and
vigor to lione, muscle and nerve. It is
not claimed tliat it will cure all the
lisenses enumerated above, but it can bo
used with benefit in any of them. It
josts 50 cents for a half pint bottle—
hardly half as much as most of tho so-
called toni* s and blood purifiers. The
dose is small—1 to 2 teaspoonfuls in a
wallow of water before each meal—and
rhe taste not disagreeable. It doe* not
blacken or injure the teeth. It costs you
nothing to try it if it docs you no good.
We will gladly refund the money to ev-
3ry one who uses it without benefit.
