A gentleman of Atlanta, a for
mer student of the N. G. A. Col-
logo, in writing to one of the
professors of this institution hero,
says that l’rot. .1. S. Stewart, its
former president, is doing all he
can against the institution, by
remarking that it is a cheap school
and we need nothing but an
academy up here and various other
things of like nature. When Prof.
Stewart was employed here bo
sent out thousands of circulars and
letters sayitjg that the N. G. A.
College was one of the host institu-
tions for learning in Georgia,
which was true. Now, how it is
that a man belonging to the church,
van make false statements like this
we cannot understand. The idea of
a man receiving the state’s money
to work against a state institution.
It can't continue long.
Lively Times on Pea Ridge.
Thero was a lively time out in

o'clock Will Cunoll, a brother of
Lula, made a call aud found

sum of 23 cents per month for fivo

through several grades and the as

So much is said nt so many
times and by so many people
about enjoining the collection of
taxes that I deem it at lenst a
matter of somo public interest to
conclude this card with a quota
tion of the language of the Su
preme court in a case brought
many years ago for the purpose
of enjoining the collection of a
school tax. The Supr mi court
say :
“Mere administrative acts on
the part of the local Board of
Education are complained of, but
it is enough to say of these that
they furnish no cause for enjoin
ing the collections of the school
tax. If as pulilio functionaries
the Board fail to execute their
duties conformably to law, the
remedy is not to cut off their sups
one dollar per month. It is pro- j ply of money by enjoining lawful
vided that such children shall bo I taxation or the collection of taxes
received only when it docs not in-! legally assessed, but somo other
convenience nor incommode the appropriate proceeding.” (See
school, and the right is reserved , Georgia Reports, page 010.)

to attend it just the same ns those
in Dahlonega, “free of charge,”
and that the attendance had been
thereby so swollen as to require a
new teacher, and that there were
those who would enjoin the collec

At a meeting held Sept. 1st, the
following resolution was adoptod;
“Resolved, That hereafter all
children of school age liying in the
Dahlonega district, and living
nearer the graded school
than any public school in the
country shall bo received and be
allowed to attend the graded
school at the request of ttie Board
of Education of the county for as

that many citizens from Union,

A few days ago Collector Rich
ardson visited Cleveland to look
after an illicit distillery, which had
been reported to him as being op
crated by Almon Carroll and
Rob. Barret. When he reached
Cleveland they got wind of it and
Barret soon drove into town in his
buggy to watch the movements of
the officer. An hour or two after
dark Mr. Richardson and his guide
went to their room aud blow out
the light. Barret soon left town,
thinking that they had retired for
the night and was not long in
’caching his partner’s house to re
port that no harm would lie done

heard Barret leave and in about
forty minutes be and his guide

It will bo observed that the reso

What will be the result next year?
Every child within the nearest

board of education act? When
they admit one mans children and
not another the devil will be to
