Wbeuevera child does his lull
duty aud iu every way comes up
to the staudard of tbe febool, the
hearts of every teacher is fi led
with joy aud every form of eu
conragement is ured by tbe teach

this is backed up by home en
couragemeul and parent's eo-oper

force for tbe child's advancement
isadded. When a child gets on
the booor roll we want the people
of the community to know it, be

a Happy Social Evening.
In honor of Mr. and Mrs. Anson
W. Ball, a company of happy
young people gathered, on Friday
evening, at tbe hospitable borne of
Mr. J. E. Robison, on Warren
street. An interesting game of a
progressive nature, involving
authors and literary characters and
quotations, aud presenting many
knotty conundrums, bad beeu pre
pared, and for more than an hour
eugaged the mental activities of
those preseut. The game aroused
great interest, and knitted brows,
moving peucils, and bursts of
hearty laughter indicated that no
body was having a dull time. It
was plainly seeu that tbe cares of
life bad been left on the outside,
and unrestrained good humor held
sway in tbe parlors, where, under
the superintendence of charming
hosts, everything wore the garb of
brightness and joy.
The very attractive feature of
refreshments was not overlooked,
and greater delicacy courses could
not bave been used than was evi
dent in tbe tempting courses
served. At a late hour the guests
dispersed, all happier for having
been together.
Tbe following were present:
*.and Mrs. A W. Ball, Misses
Fannie Chisholm, Sallie Harley,
Lnla Baker, Ruth Sparks, Willie
Smith, Leta Pittman, Olivia Pitt
man, Louise Pittman, Annie

by Pearce, and held for horse

likely that Wright will have to
face two chargee. He offered to
sell a very fine horse in Tailahas
see for $15 Sheriff Pearce caught
ou aud locked tbe horse trader up,
and sent out circulars describing
the horse. One of them fell into
Bailiff Martin's bands whuehowed

Wright took this horse, aleo, as
Sheriff Pearce has notified tha
owners that he baa located such a

of both these cases, is that both
Mr. Mallard aud Whittaker &

two or three weeks, both being out

to get away and dispose of the

larceny from the bouse,
At ibis writing Bubber is per
haps blubbering in tbe Leon coun
ty jail, while Wrigbt is lookiug
through the bars which ornament
and make secure Thomas county's
jail. He will be prosecuted to tbe
extent of tbe law by Mr. Mallard,
who finds that the uegro cut off
tbe fine tail of bis horse to dis

out that he stole tbe other horse,
which is more than likely, Whit

Atlanta, Nov. 29.—The house

of tbe fact that the aye aud nay

ed amid applause, and, by a vote
of 50 to 38, tbe bouse was declared

The editor of a newspaper has
no business to make mistakes; has
no business even to get anything
his paper that the people do not
like. He ought to know just what
would suit each individual, or he
ought to take each item before it
is published and let the person
bom it concerns see it. An edi
tor has plenty of time to do this,
aud all he has to do is to hunt
news and clean rollers, set type,
clean the floors, pen short items,
hustle for advertising, fold papers
and wrappers, talk to visitors and
distribute type, read proofs and
correct mistakes, dodge the bills
and dun delinquents, and take
cussing, and tell the subscribers
that he needs tbe money.—Ex.
