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 the neighborhood of Pea Ridge Irst Sunday night where Lula Carroll and Lnella Myers, both colored, are located.

Six children on ly involved and they at the pitiful sum of 23 cents per month for fivo months. These six are scattered through several grades and the as surance n given that their at tendance will not cause the em ployment of an additional teach er. 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 refuse any such children, or to | The “appropriate proceeding” dismiss them after they have been relative to our Board would he, as the pleasure of this I to those of things and 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 tion of taxes, &c. 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 much as the Public school term, upon payment by said Board of Education of the public school money allotted to such children.

Collector Hyman Richard son visited Dahlonega last Friday, paying his respects to some of the moonshiners, although it was his birth day—18 —he had nc time to lose at this season of the year when corn is maturing aud liquor flowing. It will be seen by the names and dates elsewhere in this issue that many citizens from Union, Dawson and Lumpkin counties have to attend the U. S. Court in Atlanta next month. The de fendants in White have to be tried in Athens and we are unable to re ceive either names or dates of trials. On our first page will be found a complete list of the money and work given for tlie cemetery at this place. White gravel is now being hauled and will be put on every grave, making it one of the. nicest cemeteries in upper Geor gia.

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 them this time. Mr. Richardson heard Barret leave and in about forty minutes be and his guide were out jit the stable, bitched up child covered by tho resolution the sum of 23 cents per month, in addition to the amount paid by the County Board, aud this was done. It will bo observed that the reso lution, as originally passed, re quired the following conditions before any child would be received under it, to-wit: 1. That such child should live nearer the graded school than any other. 2. That the County Board should first request that wo receive such j L f( child. six outside children attending now but others have applied since learning of this raro. opportunity but on account of having entered other schools were not admitted. What will be the result next year? Every child within the nearest reach of the Dahlonega school will apply, and if there are more than can be admitted how will the board of education act?
