Relative to Sunday school work,
Mr. Bok in his excellent journal
this month, makes some very per-
tinent remarks which will
interest and probably arouse to
some extent, those who are interest-
ed in the work and love to see the
cause, for which this work was in-
stituted, prosper.
After a thorough investigation
of over two hundred schools Mr.
Bok says, “certainly no strong
glasses are needed to convince any
one how stupid, dull and almost
lifeless instutions the average Sun¬
day school of today stands preemi¬
nently at the head.” That the
Sunday school grows less and less
interesting, carries with it little
force and is in a mouldering condi¬
tion of decay is proven by the de¬
crease in attendance, which alarm¬
ing fact is conceded, by the most
ardent workers. The tendency of
young people after the age of six¬
teen to dropout and frequent places
of more interests, to his mind, a
natural consequence.
On a point of interests the Sun¬
day school is far behind the other
institutions of the church and
“seems years removed from the
progressive spirit of the outer
world ”
For this the writer says the sup¬
erintendent, who too often is a
man mean ability and talents is to
blame.
The superintendent, who strikes
the key note of success or failure
for the whole school, ought to be a
person of magnetism, fertile of
mind, infinite in capacity and with
a strong personality.
“If men of broader views and
keener perceptions were superin¬
tendents of our Sunday schools, the
necessity for a few changes in the
teachers would follow. And one
of the changes would be that the
masculine element in the active con¬
duct would begin and end with the
superintendent, a competent assis¬
tant or two and systematic libra¬
rian. The sooner that our churches
realize that women and, women
alone, should be the teachers of the
young in the schools, the nearer
they will come to the ideal condi¬
tion. No man ever lived who un¬
derstood child-nature as does a
woman. What to him is a study
is to her a natural gift and an in¬
stinct. We cannot expect tree
SjUl, . V UC i S
ing of a child from a man. There¬
fore the lessons oi spiritual truth
should be taught our children onlv
by those who alone can and do un¬
derstood the natures and minds to
be reached and taught. The right,
sympathetic, warm-hearted women
in a Sunday-school class can do
more in one afternoon with a
benchful of children than a man
can hope to do in a month. To
teach a lesson as it should be taught
to the mind of a child can never be
done by a man tired from a week’s
business, and who can only give
his evenings to the preparation of
the lessons—evenings which of ne-
cessitv, mean a tired brain and a
lack of frtshnt^s of thought. Even
had men the sympathetic natures of
women or the unerring and instinct¬
ive understanding of children—if
ail things were equal in these res¬
pects, which cannot be, but if It
could be, then their daily vocations,
and what they mean in drain upon
the vitalilty of the mind and body,
would still place them at a disad-
vantage impossible to overcome,
Lords of creation we may like to
call ourselves, but there are 60tne
things in this world to which we
are and shall be the humble, sub¬
jects of women, and one of these
things is where children are con¬
cerned. The more a women, has
to do with a child, the better for
the child. And the more sympa¬
thetic, tender and well-bred wom¬
en and the fewer men we have as
teachers in our Sunday schools, the
better it will be for the children
and the schools.”
And yet Mr. Bok would make
restriction here. He says “no wom¬
an occupied in business during the
week, should either of her own vo¬
lition or under pressure act a teach¬
er in a Sunday school. A woman
engaged in business is physically
and mentally tired at the end of the
week Young girl 6 are to-day
teachers who should be in classes.
To bring home spiritual truths to
the mind of a child is not play : it
is an art and calls for experience
with children, a knowledge of hu¬
man nature, and understanding of
the very highest and deepest truths
of life. Experience is authority.
...... .Young girls in their forma¬
tive years are not the ones to form
the minds of our children.”
The writer says that children are
great deal quicker to discern
strength of character than is gener¬
ally conceded, and that they know
instantly when a person of strong
character, magnetic personality,
culture and ability stand before
ihem. He pleads for a higher or¬
der of intelligence in our teachers ;
this is demanded of our secula'
teactiers, why not of those who have
truths of vastly more importance
to teach ?
“I make no plea here for a men-
al religion: a spirituality whicl
feeds the mind and leaves the heai-
hungry. There is such a thing as
satisfying the heart and teaching the
mind at the same time Gui
churches have a great deal to say
about going out into the highways
and hedges looking for the unsaved.
“This is all very well as far as it
goes, but a little more strength of
character in the mental fibre of the
ner» who govern our churc 1 ^-
o.ouid infuse new life into churcfi
and Sunday school. And if more
pains were taken to press forward
strong personalities into the active
service of church work, it is possi¬
ble that the unsaved might the
more readily come out of the high¬
ways of themselves. It would be
better if our churches did a little
more drawing than seeking. A
Sunday school could and should be
so attractive that young people tel-
'ing each other about it, will feel
glad to come to it unbidden.”

meeting of the Woman's Literary

Last Friday evening Miss Birdie
Maejonesentertained, in her sweet,
womanly way the Young People’s
Social Club. A most delightful
evening was spent. The bright,
young hostess introduced a novel
feature of entertainment for her
guests. Giving around to each a
pencil and slip of paper, they were
given the word “Sunnysouth” and
commanded in a given number of
minutes to form as many words as
possible out of the letters compos¬
ing this word. A beautiful book
was offered as the prize which Mr.
Glenn, who in a few minutes form¬
ed thirty words, won. The pleas¬
ure of the evening was in this
unique way enhanced. The next
meeting will be with the Misses
Payne.
Mr. and Mrs. Davenport in their
truly hospitable and pleasant man¬
ner entertained some friends at a
dainty little tea party on Monday
evening. Their guest were Mr.

“See here,” said Mr. W. M.
Kilgo, of the firm of Dance & Kil-
go, to a Record man, “I want you
to take that drotted advertisement
of ours out of The Record; we
sold that cow and mule the first
week it came out, and this week I
avc been bothered half to death
by' people who wanted to buy’ them.
Take it,and take it out right now.”
The advertisement refered to, was
a local saying that this firm wanted
to sell a milch cow and a mule.
Moral: If you have something to
sell plant an advertisement in the
Record.
“When the dust is on the coun¬
ter and the cobweb’s on the shelf,
and there’s no one in the store but
your own disheartened self, and
your stock is getting shelf worn,
and every thing looks stale, and
bills enough are coming due to make
a banker pale. Oh! then’s the
time a fellow' is a feeling kind
o’blue, and is puzzled with the
tl ought of the proper thing to do
In such a situation but one remedy
*. If you want to get the
you’ve got to advertise.”

The Madison County Argus, by
our old friend and co-worker, Maj.
E. J. Christy, is the latest aspirant
for public favor. Like all of Maj.
Christy’s newspaper work, the Ar¬
gus shows extra skill, typographic¬
ally and editorially, and we truly
wish for him abundant success. We
commend the Major to the good
people of Madison county, as a
man thoroughly reliable in all
dealings and honorable in all
intentions.—Southern Record, Toc¬
coa. The Argus gracefully

certainly appreciates the
high compliment from such a
del of typographical excellence
so ably edited a journal as is
Record.—Madison County Argus.
The genial smiles of Miss
Roberts at Gholson Inn, are missed.
She and Miss Reppard McAllister,
a very attractive and
young lady from Toccoa, who
been visiting Mrs. Fraser, are in

“I can say one thing for Cham¬
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar¬
rhoea Remedy, and that is that it
excels any proprietary medicine I
have seen on the market, and I have
been in the practice of medicine
and the drug business for the past
forty years,’’writes J. M. Jackson,

and Diarrhoea Remedy because it

Mr. L. S. Allen, immigrant
agent ol the Southern railroad says
he needs some Toccoa literature to
give out to prospective settlers in
the south. Toccoa ought to furnish
it. It is certainly kind enough for
him to give it out for U6 and talk
Toccoa at someone else’s expense.
Rev. Harrell, pastor of the Pres¬
byterian church at Toccoa, came
down last Thursday on a visit to
his brother, Rev. J. J. Harrell,
pastor of the Presbyterian church
at this place.—Lavonia Standard
Guage.
Mr. Newton of Albany, N. Y.,
and family arrived in Toccoa last
week and will occupy Mr. T. S.
Williford’s Orchard Heights farm,
on the suburbs of town. Mr. Hiltz
and family will occupy rooms in
the Simpson building, next to Tom
Scott’s store.
From all over the county, come
w'ords of praise for Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. Here is a sample
letter from Mrs. C. Shep, of Little
Rock, Ark : “I was suffering from
a very severe cold, when I. read of
the cures that had been effected hv
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I
concluded to give it trial and ac¬
cordingly procured a bottle. It
gave me prompt relief, and I have
the best reason for recommending
it very highly, which I do with
pleasure.” For sale by Edge &

Catarrh being a constitutional dis¬

Tcm Nichols Arrested.
Tom Nichols, a young man well
known about Toccoa, was arrested
Saturday morning accused of rifling
the pockets of Mr. Cary, who
boards at Mrs. Hunter’s, the night
previous. It seems that about 2
o’clock Mrs. Hunter was up await¬
ing the arrival of expected guests,
when she he M some one going up
stairs, and noted his movements.
When he came down she saw it
was Mr. Nichols. Mr. Stanford,
an engineer on the Southern, was
awakened by a noise in his room,and
looking up saw Tom with a match
in his hand also, the trousers of Mr.
Cary. Mr. Cary and Mr. Stanford
occupied the same room. Mr. Stan¬
ford asked Mr. Nichols what he
was doing in there and he replied
that he was trying to light a lamp,
but went out and down stairs. In
the morning Mr. Stanford asked
Mr. Cary if he had lost anything
out of his pockets, and when he
looked he said that he had lost
$3.40 in silver and s $2 greenback.
Mr. Nichols was brought before
Judge Cook, but upon default of
bond, was carried to the county
jail. Over $3 of money was found
upon the person of Mr. Nichols but
it was returned to Mr. Nichols.
Mr. Cary has tried to get his money
but without avail.
Tom Nichols is well connected
and came of a good family and we
are very sorry to hear of this
trouble.
A school house is badly needed.
We have been waiting for the
City Council to make a move with
regard to a new school house, but it
appears as slow as its predecessors.
Do you know of a wide place in
the road or a city or a small town
which needs a school house and
needs it badly and wants a school
house and wants it badly { I do,
Toccoa.
The Toccoa Dramatic Club will
play “Tatter” at Elberton, on the
nthinst. They hove engaged the
opera house there.
The residence of Will Scott, the
barber, had the roof burned off last
Saturday night, but not otherwise
badly damaged. Had it not been
raining it is probable that)the house
would have been consumed by the
flames. And that is another thing
next to a schoolhou6e which is need¬
ed in Toccoa, is a fire company and
water works. We will probably get
them as soon as we get a school
house.
J. W. Newton and family, for-
merly of Stowe, Vt., and Hurts-
ville, N. Y., have moved to Toccoa,
Ga., where they will locate their
home. His mother, Mrs. Lois ,
Newton and two oIde.t daughter., j

until their home is made ready. —

Jackson's* Restaurant
Something which Toccoa has
long needed has at last become real¬
ized in a first-class city restaurant.
Mr. T. J. Jackson has had the
whole basement of the Davis build¬
ing fixed up in regular city style—
partitioned and painted and is now
running a city restaurant. It is
now Mr. Jackson’s desire and pleas¬
ure to set before his customers the
best the market affords. He keeps
constantly on hand fresh fish and
oysters and game in season. His
meats are not cooked until the cus¬
tomer sits down to the table, thus
always insuring a good meal. Mr.
Jackson also keeps a nice line of
confections and fruits. He cordial¬
ly invites the ladies to call when in
search of fresh fruits and candies as
he feels sure he can pleasa them.
Transients will find a hearty
welcome when visiting Mr. Jack
son’s establishment as he will try
to please them with the best meals
and served in the neatest and most
cleanly manner anywhere outside
the large cities.

Captain T. S. Davis has author¬
ized us to say that Jim Jones, his
chief of staff has been sent to Ra¬

spying out the “lay of the land”
and making arrangements for Com¬
pany K, which will shortly bivouac
in that region for the manufacture
of high explosives with which to
blow the Spaniards “clean off the
island of Cuby.” The explosives
to be manufactured at the start are
“Mountain Dew” and “Rabun
Moonshine.” We predict much
saccess for Captain Davis and his
company. No new recruits will be
accepted as Capt. Davis informs
the Record reporter that he has a
great sufficiency.
