Much has been done to promote this great interest during last year and the schools of Georgia are, as a rule, in better condition to-day than they ever were hefore, and we are confi dent that they will continue to im- prove flits; [jlioD i TAL CKGWiNC CROPS* K. ni sli over the Sunny South flu.slht goal report that tue crops trowing o:f ur.e v.

If Hie THRtE GOOD BOOKS. There are three books that are soon to be issued from the press that will be of exceeding interest to all Georgians. Ihe books are writ* ten by Georgia authors'bat they will arouse thejwhole world of South ern literature, aDd will throw a new I'ght on American history. One of t hese books will be Long* street’s History of the Confederacy, written by “Lee’s old war horse,’ himself. The book will contain very much that no history of the Confederacy has ever yet contained, and the readers of this history will be permitted to see pen pictures of ceitaiu battles painted with that ivid likeness which only an eye witness in Longstreet’a boots coaid possibly kindle on the page. Longstreet’a history of the Con federacy will find a ready sale the world over and the old warrior’s gray hairs will be crowned with still r ater love and admiration from surviving Southern soldiers. An other of the books is the Life and Times of General Robert Toombs, which Editor Pleasant A. Stovall of the Augusta Chronicle « compiling Here is a book which wih aw* ken the memories of the I do you suppose she would do in Heav Shake Hands. And why no' 1 Why not with out stretched hand and smiling face greet one’s acquaintance or friend! No, you must not do it. You must stand rigid, with your hands behind you, so u> *PeHk, and make a disagreeable little stiff bow: because, forsooth, fashinon says so. If I were a man I wool ' sa* “Hang Fashion!” but being a woman of course it wouldn’t look well in me to be so emphatic. The desire is the same however. I onee saw such a pitiful illustration of this non-hand-shaking; such a dem onstration of the diference of common politeness to the decree of fes’iion On a hotel piazza an introduction took place between a middle aged but terfly of fashion and a right young boy, probably seventeen or eighteen years ot oge_. As the formula was pronounced giving them the new-born right to thereafter hold communication on the proper tooting, the youth ad van ced a step and cordially '•ffered his hand. What do .you sup pose happened? Why that Tittle 8' ip of a woman took a backward step and coolly nodded her b.-frizzled head—that was all. And all the crowd did stand aghast, for be it known we were coun ts y folk aud knew not that to shake hands overstepped the boundrrr line.. A"d that young blonde gient with his outstretched hand, looked, and no doubt f. It, that if he could ouly cut off that honest, rjght hand, and make a present of it to somebody, he would be so gVa; for to offV-r vour hand ard have it rejected, makes chat member such a superfluity that one is glad to be rid of it at any price. That- was one illustration of the de cline of brains in proportion to the ad vance of fashion. The more fashion the less common sense; but it was wcsB than that. It was the wounding of a fine sensibility; a total disregard of courtesy, and for what! I .new a young girl of Atlanta who said she would rather die than be out of fashion. She was earnest too; si© liv ed up to just thatse itimeut. Think of it. Would rather give up all the glorious posibilities of life—the grand, noble womanhood' that was hers if she chose to take it, and appear before her Maker in a lit of temper, than live on this green earth iu last snmmer’s gown and bonnet. What pie ui< tho 1 yet found. The silver shep herd’s crock was pretty, but apt to be caught in various ways and detached from the dr^ss It is further requested that members wear the cross iu sight, there having been serious misunder standings where the badge was wora at the belt or on the wrist as a fangle.

It is the object of the association >f club<» to work for the men nominated by the party, not to take any part in their nomifcation.

Semlnnry-—Res olutions Passed at the Last Meeting. Dr. Briggx to Hold His Chair by a Large Majority. New York, June 6.—The directors of the Union Theological seminary have met and have declared their position on the question of the right of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church to veto the transfer of Professor Charles A. Briggs from the chair of Hebrew to the chair of Biblical theology. The res olution passed at their meeting held is as follows: - - to- ili Resolved, That the board of directors, after having taken legal advice and aftc due consideration, see uo reason to chang tLeir views on the subject of transfer o. Dr. Briggs, and feel bound in the discharg* 01 their duties under the charter and constitution of the seminary to adhere to the same. The intent of the vote passed by the general assembly at its recent sesions in Detroit was that Dr. Briggs should cet- se to be professor in the Union sem- inti -y. The effect of the resolution given above is that it is the judgment of the directors that the veto was a usurpa tion of powers never given, or intended to be given, to the general assembly, and that since the vote was illegal, the appointment stands, and Dr. Briggs will continue as professor during the corning year, as during the past seven teen years. The meeting of the hoard of directors was very full, only three members being absent. ut of the full board of twenty- six. The vote by which the resolution was adopted was practically unanimous, ouly oue vote being cast in opposition. THE BARBECUE WENT ON As Motile Darling Was Subdued and Taken to tbe City. Roue, Ga., Jane 6.—There was a scandalous scene at a barbecue near this city, at Dougherty’s grove. Everything went along merrily until a woman named Mollie Darling drove on the grounds in a phaeton. She was intoxicated, and created quite a sensation byTier vigor ous dancing. After leaving the plat form, she went to another part of tjjre grounds and became very noisy, cursing so load that she could be heard 100 yards. She carried a valise containing a big flask of whisky and a revolver. She ap plied herself heartily to the flask until she nearly emptied it. Tiring of this she took her pistol and waved it over her head several times, dancing and screaming like a wild Comanche. One of the spectators then took violent hold of her, and in the scuffle the woman was thrown to the ground, tearing her clothes. She was not hurt, however, although the treatment seemed to bring her to her senses somewhat. She was then lifted into the phaeton, hat when the driverattempied to leave the grounds she grabbed the reins and threatened to blow his brains out. She was finally subdued and taken to the city, after which the barbecue was enjoyed by all present. Came Near Being Killed. Baxley, Ga., June 6.—The 10-year- old son of Mrs. Hunter, a widow lady living out near tbe river, came near being killed with a knife in his own hands.

Winnipeg, Man., June 6.—Mr. Davitt, on reading the cablegram announcing the suspension of his paper, The Labor World, 6aid: p I did not expect this, but still I am greatly surprised. I placed the paper in charge in charge of one of the ablest journalists in London before I left. I am to blame for the result, as I went, perhaps, too heavily into poli tics during the Parnell trouble. The labor people did not wish their cause to he mixed up with either side of politics, but I was compelled to attack Parnell. ” Pompous Funerals to Boll lighters.
