School Closing.
On Wednesday evening we attended
the closing of the Whigham public
school and we do not hesitate to pro.
iinunee It one of the most enjoyable
events of the kind we have ever attend,
ed. The exercises began promptly at
8;3Q p. Hi., opening with a delightful
song by the entire school, “Beautiful
Isle'of Somewhere.”
It would be unfair for us to cotnpli-
mentany one or more of the recitations,
when each did so well. The musical
program, interspersing, was exceptional,
ly tine and did much Credit to the direo
tor of that department of the school.
About 800 people were out to witness
the proceedings and no doubt each must
have felt gratified. The temporary stage
erected for the occasion, was ample and
was lighted by comfortable seats
were arranged for the occasion. The
affair througout was a success of which
the officials should feel proud.
This excellent and thriving school has
been under the direction of Prof.
N. E. Fertig as Principal with the fol
lowing able Assistants. Asst. Miss
Lucy May Fewellen v Primary Depart*
rnent, Miss Ethel Terrell, music, Miss
Colding Davis, all of whom will no doubt,
be re-elected to their respective posit*
ions.
The Whigham school bears the repu
tation of being one of the leading schools
of the county, and from a standpoint of
equipments is far ahead of any other
school in the county with the exception
of that of this city. They have an eu*
rollmant of 100 pupils, many ot whom
are boarders. Their school building
aside from the grounds is estimated to
be worth 18,000, including desks and
fixtures. It is a live school and we never
witnessed a more creditable exhibition
than that of Wednesday night.
iron) the Tbomasvllle Times of 21st Inst:
Congressman Jim Gnggs, jolly and
genial, stopped in town a lew hours Sun
day evening eu route to Baiubridge. Few
congressmen have made more reputa
tion than Jim Griggs. He has proved an
able, hard working and uon.-cientious
representative of the people.
Lucius Mitchell, who has been in jail
iu Bain bridge for several mouths charged
with killing a negro who lived in Cairo
wbi.e returning from Baiubridge on the
train, will be tried today in Baiubridge.
Judge Hopkins and Harry Martin went
over to Baiubridge tuat night, the first
as au attorney, the latter us a witness.
We at-e informed by one of Blake*
ty’s leading tillitena that, there is a
rumor floating in the air that the
Central of Georgia Railway Company
will build a branch toad from this
city to St. Andrews Bay* Fla.* using
the Flowers Bros. Lumber Company's
road from here to Jakm in the pro
posed road. There is no doubt of one
thing, i. e.( if the road goes from
here to St. Andrews as pioposed our
uitiaens who are fond of the piscator
ial sport and surf bathing will give
it an extremely liberal patronage and
the road would be a paying invest
ment from the start, as it would tap
a great forest ot pine timber on the
route.—Blakely News.
The report of the United States
commissioners of education shows
that the south has done a good part
for the education of the negroes.
The amount expended by the south
ern states, including Delaware and
Mrryland and West Virginia lor ne
gro eduoation from 1869 to 1898
was $101,860,661, The state expend
itures for white schools during the
same period was $444,769,585. The
per capita expended for white chit*
dren in' 1897 8 was $4.25 and for
colored children $2.27. It is to be
remembered that a greater amount
of money is needed for white educa
tion for the higher grades, and that
the school revenue is paid almost
entirely by white taxpayers.—Nash

contemplated enlargements have now,

increase in the city’s population nud the
growing popularity of the school through
out the county, the trustees will no
doubt meet these demands in time ler

Dr. Peacock had a uarrow escape from
death lust Thursday. He had been suf
fering intensely with headache which
the usual remedies failed to relieve.
Lying across the bed he called Mrs.
Peacock aud told her to pour some chlor
oform on a handkerchief and apply it
to his mouth aud uose iu the usual way.
After some time, tiiidiug that the cloro-
forrn had failed to have the desired ef
fect, he called again for the cloroforui
which Mrs. Peacock gave him as befot'e.
after which she retired from the room,
1 as he had used it in like man-er on other
occasions without harmful results. How
ever, Mrs. Peacock returned to the
room in a short while aud found the Dr.
almost iu a lifeless condition. Seeing
the situa.ion at a glance, she immediate
ly gave the alarm and with the assistance
of others proceeded to bring him back
to life, at the same time summoning the
assistance of Drs. Morgan and Berry,
in a few minutes they appeared aud by
hard work succeeded in restoring him to
consciousness. Dr. Peacock says he had
ou former occasions used much more
chloroiorm than at this time, but its
serious effect was due to his having tak
en other remedies before taking it.
The forces under the banner of
King Cotton arc now wagiug a fierce
