Miss Pauline Thaxton is the youngest teacher in attendance upon the Teachers’ Institute now being held iu Jackson. There are some teachers at the Insti tute, which is being conducted by W.

Harper was very inter esting and instructive in his lecture at the Institute. He blends scince aud re ligion as co-workers in the development of man, and thinks scince is conduoive to the highest state of Christianity, and not derogative as some would have us be lieve. He was educated in Germany, aud has the association of those people advantage over our men who are educa ted at home. He has acquired a vast store of useful knowledge, and is doing a lot of good in the world dispensing it without charge. Judge Pound is to be congratulated ou his selection of this learned gentleman for the expert in our county this year. If this county ever has a city oourt in it, aud we understand some want a city court, it wont do to put an unstable gentleman, who is forever trying to hit some fancied enemy below the bolt, as its judge. No strong partisan either in politics or in denominational prejudices is fit for a judge of a court. Because to be a judge a man must not be of a nerv ous temperament, nor of a revengeful disposition. Uowever, we need uo city court anyway. We are doing well enough now and that matter should rest where it is, A city court is a “miser able makeshift” for a county court. We call attention to the announcement of Mr. Alex Saunders in this issue. Mr. Saunders is a comparatively young man who started out iu married life a few years since with bright prospects, un fortunately disease has crept into the family. He is not now and has not been able to work iu the field, having frequent hemorrhages of the lungs. His wife, too, has been and is now very feeble and un able to do the work, we farmers are ob liged to allow our wives to perform. He has three bright little children who should be educated and cared for. A vote for Mr. Saunders means that you want to lift the shadow from that home, and help a youug, ambitious, though sickly, man to provide for that wife of his bosom and those little fellows. Cit izens, it won’t cost you anythiug to vote for Mr. Saunders and help to make a happy home. He is fully competent to discharge the duties of the office, and will make you au efficient, faithful and grateful servant in the office to which he aspires. fauHnoTice.

No, not the heart; but I would like to get the other things; Id like to get that silver back, also those diamond rings. For I can get along without the heart: yes, dear, that's true, But, Oh! for all of the hard-earned wealth that I blew in on you!

Guess who the gentleman is that car ried his girl to preaching Sunday night, and all he said was, “I see a lightning bug,” and the young lady replied, “I bet it’s that woman in black.” Miss Clara Hardy and Miss Addie Kate Kelly, two beautiful and accomplished young ladies, of Jasper county, are vis iting Mr. T.

If the hair has been made to grow a natural color on bald heads in thous ands of cases, by using Hall’s Hair Kenewer, why will It not in your case? The attention of those who have any share of profits coming to them from the Alliance Warehouse is called to the fact that the money can be had by applying to Mr. S. C. McCandless at onoe. There are many farmers in this county who have a share in the money, and it can be had only for the asking. The People’s Party paper has a car toon in it which knocks che sock off the situation. Hoke is leading the General to the block, and Alkinson is represent ed as being prepared to eut his head off. If that vivacious unbridled Watson, whose wit is equal to any emergency, was in congress the People’s party would be lifeless iu Georgia. Give Calvert your orders for house and sign painting. He can duplicate Macou or Atlanta work at prioes that will be satisfactory to yon. Mr. Calvert has years of experience as an artistic painter, and his work in this line bears us out in the assertion that you can not be better suited than give him your or der when anything of this kind is need ed. The vote for governor is get ting interesting. Hanes, “the Jeweler,” has a map showing the vote and situation of counties, which you are invited to exam ine. He will also fix your watch so it will stay fixed, if it is out of “whack,” very reasonable. His prices on Watches, Jewelry, Sta tionery, etc., is very, very, low. He will take silver dollars at par in exchange for goods, or if you have no silver, he will take gold rather than miss a trade. Re member the place—Black Front. It affords us great pleasure to know that the services of our young men are being persistently sought after by our sister cities. On last week, Mr. John W. Moore, who has recently graduated at Oxford college with high distinction, was chosen from among a large number of applicants for the responsible posi tion of principal of the Monticello Institute, a school enrolling upon its roster an average attendance of 175 pupils. The board of directors were very favorably impressed with the ideas of Mr. Moore conveyed to them through a speech of some length, in which his intentions and plans wars clearly dem onstrated to the satisfaction of all pres ent. This is a high compliment bestow ed upon a young man who is in every aay deserving of the appreciation shown him by the citizens of Monticello, and the abgus jointly congratulates Mr. Moore aud the good people of Jasper upon the fitting selection they have made. A RAriST Fiom Crime to Death. Near the line of ourcourty just over in our sister county, Monroe, a black de mon named Ogletree brutally assaulted Mrs. Dr. Wright. Of cou's *, there was a lynching in Monroe, and the only rea son that it was not in Butts was because the crime was over the line. Hew long before rapists will learn that death, im mediate death, is the price this fiend ish crime in Georgia? The g ivernor may offer rewards and the people may clamor for law and order, but we dare say that the men who swung that fiend, Ogletree, to the limb, are as true and law abiding, as brave and chivalrous, as merciful and religious, as any like number in these Uuited States. Yes, they are law abiding citizens and used the only law adequate to the crime. The only thin 4 to be sure of is that the demon of hell committed the crime, and there is no question as to what muse be done with him. Judge Lynch will ar range that matter. If there is any scoundrel, of any color whatever, con templating anything of the kind, we advise him to hang a rock on his neck and put a stick in his mouth and jump in the river before, instead of waiting un til afterwards. We suppose, as is cus tomary in New York and Onio in such matters, as well as iu Georgia, the fiend was given time to pray, but we don’t be lieve that God forgave him, and we be lieve he, together with all who ever committed the crime that he did, are this minute in hell. SWUNG TO A LIMB. The first lynching that was eyer had in this county was had Saturday night. Friday night Owen Ogletree, a negro man about 30 years of age, criminally assaulted Mrs, Dr. Wright at her home near High Falls iu this county while her husband had gone to yisit a patient. The negro was in the en ploy of Mr. Gilmore, residing near J*r, Wright’s home, aud knew of the uce of the doctor. After committing the assault he remained in the neighborhood and during Saturday was apprehended being known by Mrs. Wright. At the commitment trial Saturday eveuing the proof of his crime was positive. After his commit ment, Constable W. J. Caldwell took charge of Ogletree, and summoned Messrs. Charlie Giant and Newton Mad dox to aid him in bringing the negro safely to jail. The commitment trial being terminated late iu the eveuing, it was after nightfall before Mr. Caldwell started with bis prisoner to jail. When lie and bis posse reaehed the new bridge on the Towaliga about eight miles from the city, they were met by a large num ber of determined men in disguise, who took charge of the prisoner afte*- over powering the constable and bis aids and taking them off. That was the last known of the proceedings until Sunday morning when tne negro was seen by some passerby swinging by the neck at the end of a rope secui: % faste ted to the limb of a water oak about fifty yards from the bridge, with two bullet holes in his body. Thus Ogletree paid the pen alty of his hellish crime. Upon his person was a card giving notice that the women will be protected against such fiends. While resort to lynch law is bad policy yet an enraged people will not not per mit suoh dastardly crimes, but will see to it that the perpetrators of such are promptly punished. The inquest inves tigation developed no clue to the lynch ers.—Monroe Advertiser. TOUGH “AIN’T” IT. “As an evidence of bard times, t"wo weeks ago we sent out about 50 state ments at one time, and up to date haye not received a continent and red cent in response to the same. We are still living on greens and fresh air and bright hopes, however, waiting for the good times to dawn upon the country.”—Ellijay Cou rier. “That’s no criterion; some people would not pay the printer, if they had money to throw at dogs. The Argus sent out over S2OO of subscription dues recently, and received about S2O, every dollar of which it could have gotten any time it asked for it. The‘hard cases’ rarely respond, good times or bad.” — Dalton Argus. Great goodness! That’s tough! But we sent out about S3OO worth of accounts on the Ist, and up to the 3rd our collec tor had not returned and we began to grow uneasy about him, so we paid an other man 50c to go out and look him up. After visiting all the blackberry patches in the neighborhood, without avail, as a last resort he concluded t > drag Mc- Cord’s mill pond, and to his horror lying upon the bottom with a weight tied securely ’round his neck was our dead “bill carrier.” Upon examination, in his inside vest pocket were found those same bills amounting to S3OO, and lying on a rock near the bank was a note bear ing these remarks: “After walking both legs off three inches above the an kles, without even collecting enough money to suicide on, I take this method of ending my existence, knowing that my services as a collector will prove as valuable to you in my present condition as they were in life. Yours, at rest, . i here was a lie got loose in Jackson the other day and the citizens were greatly excite#, and numbers of people began chasing it around town. It was not a very strange species of its tribe, but it was strange for it to be in Jack son. The moral atmosphere of this place is not very gongenial to the lon gevity of such animals and it was doom ed to the fate of the mushroom. It was like all other lies as long as it liyed, “The rolling stone gathers no moss,’* but the traveling lie is like the snow ball in one respeot the more it goes the larger it gets. This particular little lie finally turned to a boomerang and flew back at its “daddy,” bursting all to flinders leaving nothing hurt but its “daddy,” who has often before had the same ex perience and still survives.

WOM AN’S PRESgCLUB CONVENTION “Sogie very Important changes were made in the constitution of the Wo man’s Press Club of Georgia, and an en tirely new corps of officers elected at the fifth annual meeting which was held Wednesday and Thursday of this week at the Wigwam, Indian Spring. “The officers elected were Miss Leo nora Beck, of Atlanta, president; Miss Marie Louse Myrick, of Amerieus, first vice president; Mrs. William King, of Atlanta, second vice president; Miss Ellen Dortch, of Milledgeyille, secretary; Mrs. E. P. Penn, of Monticello, treas urer. “The election of Miss Leonora Beck to the position of president of the Wo man’s Press Club, is a matter for general congratulation among its members, for although Miss Beck has never been en gaged in active journalistic work, there is perhaps no woman in Georgia who has more articles aocepted by northern newspapers, or who has famished more poems or sketches to magazines and weeklies than she. Miss Beck is essen tially a scholarly woman, and one inter ested in all broad and liberal pursuits. She has made a great success of the Cap ital Female College, of which she is pres ident, and will have a magnificent build ing erected for her on Loyd street, by New York capitalists. It will be ready for occupanoy by the last of September, with abundant room for three hundred students. “Miss Beck is a skilled parlimentarian and an able talker, possessing that just discriminating temperament which is al ways concilliating, and her experience with girls will be invaluable in assisting the club members to extend their influ ence along the line of education the women of the state. Altogether Miss Beck will make a brilliant president and a worthy successor to Mrs. Byington, whose tact, force and wise management has done much for the club, and whose great popularity was proven by her re peated reelection to the office.”—Atlanta Journal. We are glad to know that Miss Beck is properly appreciated. She lived in our town several years and our people all love her. JACKSON’S BASE BALL TEAM. Catcher, J. R. Thurston. Pitchers, E.

Not withstanding the scarcity of invitations, and the very select few who are worthy to witness the neptials, we can assure you of at least four on that day, and in all probability two of them will be gen tlemen and, of course, the other two will be ladies. READ THIS! Jackson needs a public libraryl How does that strike you? There is hardly a town in the state as large as Jackson, that has not one of these institutions in its midst. A public library would prove a most beneficial enterprise to the peo ple of Jackson. Subscriptions could be taken up for the purpose of purchasing suitable books and papers, and those who preferred could donate as many books as they could conveniently give in preferance to making oash subscrip tions. In this manner a good selection of literature could be procured and those who had subscribed to th • worthy cause would not for a moment feel the loss of their contributions. A hall could be secured for that purpose, and it could be maintained at comparatively no ex pense to the members. It would be a source of great enjoyment, and the time could be most profitably spent by whil ing away these long summer evenings in reading literature that would prove instructive to the mind, and at the same time promote beneficial social rela tions. Let us hear from our citizens on this line, then call a meeting of those fa vorable to the idea, appoint committees, and ere long we will have an enterprise that will be as well patronized and prove as beneficial for the amount of money invested, as anything that comes to our mind at present. THE INSTITUTE LIBRARY. About seventy nice, new volumnshave been added to the Jackson Institute Li brary this week. These include Shakes peare’s complete works, Gibbon’s Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, Macau lay’s History of England and his Essays, Irving’s works, Dickens’ and numbers of others suited to all grades of pupils, The pupils ought to avail themselves of the opportunity to read some of these good books during the summer. Arrangements have been made with Mr. Elam Dempsey by which he will be at the Library from 10 to 11 o’clock a. m. Saturday of each week to let out and take back books. Each pupil of Jackson Institute is en titled and welcome to all the advantages to be derived from this Library and they should not hesitate to avail themselves of it. r'upils will be allowed to keep the same volume two weeks if they wish provided they “renew” at the end of first week. A lady can drive the wildest horse, in perfect safety, with one of those safety bits. Call on A. G. Hitchins and see them. There is a certain young man who came in one night last week and going to his room, hung his collar and necktie ob the floor and put his shoes upon the dressing case. The next morning he swore a cyclone had struck his room and changed things about considerably. These are facts! 65c will pay for a *1 package of Orange Blossom at R, G. Bryans & Co’s. REAL ESTATE.
