Hurrah for llmoony Grove ant!
tie Echo Ga/.etU 1 ! They both appre
ciate a good tiling when they see it,
because they saw a part of Jackson
county cut off ana added to Banks,
they too now want to come in. This
ia a good thing and we admire them
for so i penly cxp'e s’sg their most
sincere wish to become a part of our
grand old Banks County.
We take great pleasure in expressing
our appreciation of the news that
Harmony Grove anl a section of
country about Bor 10 miles wide
stretching from the Oconee river east
to the Madison county line would be
glad indeed to become a part of our
■county.
No, we can tee no good reason for
a kick from these good people if they
should be fortunate enough to find
themselves surrounded by the boon
dary lines of Banks, the grandest
county in North east Ga. Ofcourse
we would 1 e jost as happy to greet!
these people as our Banks county
brethern ns we are to call those who
have so recently been added to our
county by Ihe new Merino surrey.
. But the idea of ’lie courthouse
Being placed at Harmony Grove is
just simply out of the question. The
peoi>le of that section have a perfect
right to build one or more court
houses, an ! use them ns they see prop
or, hut w hat is the use for two court
houses. We Banks county people
have or,e that fiils the bill exactly. It
is a little old, and cßsfigured, but still
in the ring and does good service.
We would he pleased to have Har
mony Grove and her terntoiy added
to this count v. But cannot believe
flic people would accept a brand now
court house 1 e of charge from the
very liberal people of the Grove just
because they, would be, willing to
to give ns more territory.
If these Harmony Grovo people
become dissatisfied with their present
home we de sire to give them a cordial
invitation to come over and we will
assure them that they can have a nice
home and t> ; ‘ they can use our
present cen t house for all purposes
it is intended for, and we further
assure them that they wont have to go
so deep down in their pockets to
reach what has already been drawn
from the pockets of our own people.
Of course wo are not ashamed of
our little county, but if we had it en
arged by several hundred square
miles and by the addition of several
thousands of people we would feel
prouder.
The Echo-Gazette and its relation
with Jackson county reminds us of
the Northeastern R. Ri which seems
to be left out in the cold, and who is
singing ‘T nobody’s darling, Nobody
cares for me.’' She is a pretty little
tiling and is only crying for someone
to ceme to her aid and give her the
protection of the county officials, and
to have someone to entrust to her
peeping the valuables of a county
site.
Homer am! her people arc almost
at a loss to know what to do with
themselves now, since the Institute
week tor 1897 has became one of the
most pleasant anil instrucive per
toils of the past history et Homer and
the Teachers Institutes.
We are all of the opinion that near
ly every one present enjoyed them
selves as much as they possibly could
have done, when we stop to consider
that it was about the warmest week
of this year. All express themselves
as Mint; much bemfited by this Insti
tute. Many are wishing that it would
]ast much longer, because just* as
everything was beginning to work the
smoothest, the end was announced.
Profs. Wooding and Marion deserve
much credit for the admirable mannei
in which the instil ute was conducted
All tvho were present can not con
scientiously say they were not bene
fitted to a. greater or less extent by
what they saw and heard, and espec.
1 illy is this the ease m regard to the
splendid speech that was so forcibly
impressed upon those who heard our
G. R.
"®L iS|f
ive and very entertaining to both
teachers and visitors and all listened
with very close attention to what he
had to say.
We believe the people of all sections
and classes are awakening to the
knowledge of the fact that next to
goed public r>a Is and public con
xcmcnces the importance of good first
class scnools and better teachers and
systems ot public ills 1 ruction is most
mpoiiant subject for our general con
sideration. We sav next to roads and
present public conveniences, because i
we must !o' k out for the present more
than fur he future, lecause we can
not afford to endanger public safety
to any great extent, and i.t tli.e 'same
time be spending all vve-can make pro
paring for i.htt-Soming generation.
..WS'uesire to say that We are hearti
ly m favor ef those improvements that
are so necessary, and which tire at.
trading the attention of our National
Government authorities, and which
are dealt with extensively in the fol
lowing article taken from the Macon
Telegraph.
“The repott of the corwmittt.ee of
twelve oil rural schools in the United
states, appointed at the convention of
the National Educational Association
in July 1 SOS, lias been completed and
will be suniitted at the next annua! j
gathering. It is one of the most im
portant documcntson school education
that has appeared since the promulga
tion of the report of the committee of
tin- committee of ten on secondary
education in tiiis country a couple op 1
yeai s ago.
The committee consists of Henry
Sabin of low i. D. L. Kielile of Min
nesola, \. B. Poland of New York, C-
G. Rounds of New Hampshire, I 11.
Phillips of Alabama, B. A. Hinsdale
of Michigan, S. T. Black of California
W. S. Sutton of Tuxas, L. E. Wolff
of Missiouri, United States Cum miss- '
ioner of Education Harris L. B. Evans j
ot Georgia and C. R. Sninner of New J
York.
The report discusses the rural
school problem in the different as
pects of school maintenance, super
vision, supply of teachers, end instruc
tion and discipline. Each of these
subjects was in charge of a sub-com
mittee of three, their work being re
viewed by tlie entire committee. The
repot t says fur purposes of organiza
tion and maintenance of supervision
nothing should he recognized ns the
unit smaller than the town ship or the
county. Tlie school district is the
most undesirable unit possible. Ef
fecting this change wherever the rlis—
(lict system prevails would conduce to
effectiveness nr.l simplicity of organ
ization, economy in furies, equalization
of taxation and to a system of super
vision which would produce.better re
sults
Ail the still committees favor the
consolidation of the schools which are
too small to employ profitably the time
of one teacher into large schools when
practicable, m order that 1 etter in
struction be- provided than is now
possible. Every community should
be requiem to raise a certain sum for
the support of its schools as a pre re
quisite for receiving its share of pub
lic money. A certain definite sum
should be appointed to each school
out of the state funds and the re
mainder should he divided in accor
dance with some fixed and established
rule, a discrimination being made in
favor of townships most willing to tax
themselves for school purposes.
One one the great hindrances to the
improvement of tlie rural school lies
in its isolation, and its inability to fur-
nish to the pupil that stimulative in
fluence which comes from contact
with others of his own age and ad
vancement. The committee, there
fore, recommends collecting pupils
from small schools into larger ones
an 1 paving from the public funds for
their transportation, believing that in
this way better teat hear can he pro
vided, more rational methods of in-
structions adonted and at the same
Ume the expense of the schools can be
Materially lessened.
There is a tendency to fill the rural
schools with untrained, immature
t-ericl:.css. The establishment of nor
mal training schools, uu i, r competent
instructors, with short courses, each l
year of which shall be complete in it j
self, would do much to remedy this i
evil. The < xtension and adjustment
jf tlie courses and terms of the state
and normal schools so at to connilul?
a continuous session would enabl v
them to contribute more directly than
now to tho improvement of too teach
er* of rural schools. The state would
be justified in demanding so mi* degree
0 f professional training from every
teacher in ttie rural as well ay'it the
city schools.
Some important recommendation
are in trie as to instruction and discip
fine and the evils of alteinping to
graded as the city school*
are at length. In

Good morals and good manners
onstilute an essential part of an
educational equipment. The incul
cation of paitiiosism, of respect for
law and order, of whatever tends to
make a good citizen, is of as much
importance in a small school as in a
large school. Regularity, punct
utility, obedience, industry, self-con
trol are as necessary in the country
as in ilie city shoo]. Country school
teachers should call to their aid the

maud immediate attention. The rural
schools are suffering Irum tlie want
of official and intellectual supervision.
In every state some standard of

with some amount of actual experi
ence, should pe demanded by law from

There is embodied an interesting
report urging negro teachers for
negro schools. Jt says the instinct of
tile educations 1 development of the
negro must be from within and by the
race itself • and not solely through
extraneous agencies; that ihe intell
ectual and moral dependence of tlie
race must not he perpetuated, and
that the responsibility of teaching his
own race furnished incentives aud

clusion reached is that the instinct of

BANKS COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION.
The minutes of the last Sunday
School Convention of Banks county
are lost, tin man who was Secretary
at the lime has moved from the state,
The man who was elected President
s.ays he lias had no formal notice o f
his election, an 1 declines to act.
Having b.ien assured by men who
were present at the last convention,
that. I was elected first Vice President
and having been urged to act in the
m.ol'er, 1 call the executive com miUee
of tlie Banks County Sunday So liool
Convention and Association to meet
in Homer, at the Clerk’s office, Situ r
day July 10th at 10 o’clock.
Let each one who knows himself to
he a member of the committee meet
me at the appointed time and place.
The convention lias been a great
stimulus to the S School interest in
the pist, au l rally say su ch stimulus
is needed- All who are interested are
invited to rneuct and advise with the
Executive Committee.
Respectfully,
A. Id. Stapler. Ist V,President-
In addition to the above, we desire
to suggest that the different Sunday
School Superintendents have some
action in u-fforence to \%hat each one
of ti e schools wish about holding the
Celc-bratihn in Homer —or elsewhere,
and to so instruct its representative
at the convention so that very prompt
deft mtc and favorable action may he
taken toward settling on a time and
plaea for holding tne Celebration.
We cannot believe that lhe larger
mini bur of our people are in favor of
seeing this source of great pleasure
and information just dry up for the
want of jost a little attention.
Therefore, it is expected that each
school will take piomplaction in this
matter, and resuivct the Celebration
from ils sow sleepy condition.
Later—We received tbs following
h :h will exp’ain itself.
“.Mr. Editor:- We find a di ffenic .
opinion as to the time for holding lie
Banks County Sunday School Con- j
vention and Celebration. 1 have the,
Constitution of the Convention in my I
possesion, and will quote from Article
4th. ‘The r< | resentatives of the
schools composing this Convention
shall convene on Friday a id Saturday
before the last Sabbath in July of each
year fur die tinnsactian of business
and all the schools in the county shall
meet on Friday and Saturday under
(lie directions of the officers of the
Convention,,. H. P. Quillian.

Webb’s Creek l'icnic.
On last Saturday there was a little
gathering of several hundred people
lit re ft r the purpose of spending one
day in the enj ijment of life by mixing
and mingling with the people from
all parts of this county, and for the
purpose of paying their best respect
to those tilings that are usually’ found
on the dining tables at public picnics'
To say that cyervono enjoyed
themselves whiio does not begin to
express the extent to Which some
enjoyed themselves. This with a.
few exceptions is the general report
YYe arovery sorry to learn that some
of tlie Hciiier boys and girls did not
pronounce it a successful picnic, but
we believe thos that did enjoy it did
so to such an extent as make up for
those who did not enjoy themselves.
The day was an unusually hot one
and some of the boys had a nice and
very pleasant job of fanning some
of tile preelty young ladies, and at the
same time did not forget to talk a
little, first about the picnic, then the
weather and then well something else
just something to keep from Being
quiet too long at a time.
You can just count on somebody
enjoying themselves at such places,
and if it is not too Lot weather they
will come near making others enjoy
themselves too.
It was quite interesting to witch
some of the bachelors of Homer
talking to the ycung ladies, some of
whom they had never met. These
sort of people .will he better equipped
next time, and will no doubt enjoy
themselves even more tiian they' did
this time if such thing is possible.
Ur lita[ E' 1 ’ gave quite an interesting
talk, mid read 1!) verses of the 37th
Psal nt.
Singing was quite freely indulged
in, and under the leadership of Mr.
Grove Menders was very' good.
We also heard quite an interesting
speech upon Sunday schools which
delivered hv Mr. Baxter Smith lie
handled this subject in an admirable
manner, and he was listened to with;
great interest
On next Monday a great, many of the
children of this county will start to the
public schools again. This is usually one
of the most trying times with children
and the Journal most assuredly extends
its deep felt sympathy to those who are
compelled to remain closely housed up
during the longest and hottest hours of
these very longest summer days.

Of course the Teachers are (or ought to

this very desirable when they are in tlie
act of pronouncing tlie penalty for some

Spr.iyhtf,-( I j ib. it Ptty ?
Quits nos.—All tT j uses considered, do
you tuink that it pays in the ordinary
fami v garden and orchard to go to the
troubie and exnaas i of spraying to de
stroy insect and fungus pests? Doa’t
they return each year and does not tiie
farmer have to repeat the operations
eacu year ?
Answer.— Undoubtedly the alarming
increase of the countless varieties of in
sect and fungus pests, with which tue
orchardist and gardener is troubled of
late years, is largely, indeed, almost on
tireiy, due to the lack of such, preens
tiouary measures as spraying and other
methods of preventing their ravages on
our fruit trees and vegetables. If we
had been careful iu past Wears to watch
for and inuustriou ly check the advance
of tins army of depredators, we would
not now the decay of orchards
which ought to be in their prime, uor
Won and we so often he tr the complaint
of a fai.gre of the fruit crop. It is true
that lo bo effective and profitable spray
ing must be thorough and continuous.
It requires more than one season to get
tile full benefit of such care, but it will
iu tho long run pay for the iab .r and
expense. The spores of fungi, which
are so injurious to plants, usually past
the winter either ou tho trees or iu the
ground near bv. Whore vegetables
have beou planted these pests usually
go into winter quarters near where the
plants were grown, ready to come out
in the spring with renewed vigor. Thus
it will be seen that if not checked they
will in time, indeed, have already, be
come a serious drawback to successful
fruit growing and gardening. It has
beopshowo by experiment that if spray-
Igggfcated each season there

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
IS CONSIDERED A CRIME.
Why is not the cruelty to the little
almost helpless Public School Children
equally as much of a punishable Crime?
When one thinks for’ a few moments
how lie or she Would like to be made
—under penalty of punishment at home
—to go to the average country school
and there be compelled to sit all-day
upon the floats that we grown-up-child
ren become so thoroughly disgusted
with even during just the lew minutes
that it is required of us to sit there in
order to listen to some few songs or tlie
lici t Sunday Sclioo) services.
These children are punished nearly
every day, and for several months, yet
appears to be no plan on foot looking
toward remedying of this entirely un
necessary suffering on the part of these
children. Tti something that demands
the serious consideration of every man
woman and child in this and every other
County. Ofcourse the Boat’d of Educa
tion well knows this, and are powerless
to do anything toward fitting up these
schoulhouses with Seats and Desks that
would be fit to be used by the adult
persons, unles they are supplied with
the money to buy these necessities.
We do not doubt that they would get
all they would require if they had any
place to get it from, this they have not.
Now! the JOURNAL makes the
following proposition ; We will give to
the School that has the most popular
Teacher in Banks county, whether it be
a lady or gentleman, a set of both Seats
and Desks, free of cost to the County.
These seats and Desks will be comfort
able too. They will be suitable for old
and young, and will enable the scholars
to do much better studying.
Every body has an opportunity, and
should endeavor to have the school that
they patronize fixed up better than any
| other school in the county. Therefore,
you ought to go to work, and try to se
secure this very value,able addition to
your school. And if it is your Best Girl
or ) Bast Fellow that proves to be the
most popular School Teacher in Banks
County, it will make him or her proud
, indeed, of both the high compliment
and of the honor of teaching tiie nicest
I furnished school in this county.
Nowlin to make an effovt to have
1 this high compliment conferred upon
| the Teacher and liis or Iter school, it is
necessary for you to use one of the ae-
I companying tickets, and each and ev
ery vote must be accompanied with one

BUSHVILLE ACADEMY.
Sunday June 27th was the day on
which Prof. Vaughn was expected to
lead the singing at this place. It was
announced the columns of the Journal.
The very fact thgt there waa a chance
for all wbo attended this singing to have
the pleasure of listening to such a. fine
singer and musician brought a large
crowd out, and the little school house
was filled to overflowing.
To say that Sunday was not a hot day
in that part of our county would be a
vrriation from the real truth.
Nearly everyone, fully agreed on this
point, and all were well pleased with the
benefits derived from Sundays exper
