Once more a successful term of school

spent reviewing, singing and reciting.

The fanners hereabouts have lost no
time during the past week in putting

The Dunaway school, with Miss Ma
mie Reynold as principal, gave a picnic
last Saturday. Several of our peoph

Plenty of dinner jvas served ami agoou
time was had,
We are In much sympathy with ou.
neighbor who cannot understand the
meaning ot intelligence. He asks:
“ Who ever heard of a man’s Intelli
gence being excited ? " We have neve-
accused his intelligence, but gave him
due credit for what lie had and wished
that ho lind more. But we now have
to confess that Ids mental faculties
are much limited, and, in consequence
of tliis fact, we are fearful that liis
intelligence is affected, ns a man’s
thoughts and actions arc produced by
the‘brain. He accuses us of having
magnifying and detracting eyes. Who
ever henrd of just surh expressions as
these ? He also snya thnt, as a result
of diseased eyes, our brain is affected
We do not propose to bonst of our
sense of seeing anil mental faculties
as being superior to other men, but we
are glad to say that we are calculated
to distinguish pld pdbple from young
ones. If the man of forty-five years is
not an old man, lie is not a young one.
Our neighbor also says that our eyes
and views detract when we say that
the great Atlanta Constitution and the
Macon Telegraph will not equal the
ViaNNA News. We admit that the
Constitution and the Telegraph are
great and popular papers, but don’t
deny the- assertion that we would not
exchange the Vienna News for either
of the above-named papers. Row, we
would advise our neighbor to keep his
Brain right and his intelligence will
not be disturbed.
They had a jolly hall, nt the Dooly
Lumber Company’s mill sent, near

God.
Our neighbor with considered intelli
gence gut into a lively debate at Jerry
Saturday night and in spite of all his
display of oratory, brilliancy nnd olo-
quency of speech, ho was defeated by
the other fellow and lost the querry.
