gerously ill last week, has been entirely
restored to health, to the great delight
of her many friends and the exquisite

skill and caution in his management of
the case and is being highly compli
mented by our people.
Dr. O. H. Cantrell, our popular and
efficient dentist, is having an addition
made to his office that lie may have a
tetter light. Our people should appre
ciate Dr. Cantrell’s permanently locating
iu our town, whioh he does more from
social influences than business, for a
man of his ability could locate where liis
pecuniary benefits would be greater.
Let us give him our work aud keep a
first-class dentist in our town.
We call attention to the law card of
Hon. T. J. Dempsey in this issue. Col.
Dempsey is too well known to our peo
ple to need any recommendation from
us. His name is a household word in
our county, and it stands for justice and
fair dealing in the minds of our people.
We have thought that the profession of
the law honored some men, but Col.
Dempsey is truly an honor to the law,
aud our people feel their interests will
be safe in bis hands when they haye any
matters to litigate.
There will be a moonlight croquet club

dues afterwards. The secret work is in
the initiation and no one can become a
member until they have taken the first
degree. Only one can be initiated at
the same time, and no one can witness
the initiation except members of the
club in good stauding.
In the person of Master (His, Mr. Tobe
Ham has one of the smartest boys in
Georgia. He went up to Atlanta by
himself on Saturday last and spent the
day with Harold Higgins. Otis is only
five years of age, and we made his ac
quaintance in the car shed in Atlanta as
he was getting ready to return home
Sunday evening. On the way dow r n, as
the train stopped at Locust Grove, a
large crowd of negroes boarded the car,
and after carefully surveying the group
for a few minutes iu deep study, Otis
looked up to us aud remarked: “Does
this train go to Africa ?” It is needless
to state that we were paralyzed with the
aptness of the remark, as the “coons”
had all the habiliments for au ocean voy
age. We’ll giye Tobe Ham SIOO,OOO on
credit for that boy!
The protracted meeting at the Meth
odist church has continued on through
out this week. Mr. Carey is a minister
who puts all his life and energies into
his work, and he is doing a most valua
ble service for the cause of Christianity.
His brave fight against the evils of this
world are being highly commented upon,
and the members of the Methodist
church in Jackson should feel proud of
the fact that they have a minister who
stands true to his convictions and fights
sin in whatever form or shape it may
appear. The cause of religion has an
able champion in the person of Rev. C.
C. Carey.
Other things may feel the pressure of
, hard times, but our people stand around
the Jackson Institute like an adamant
wall. We protect it with the same pride
and sense of duty that we do the precious
young people for whose benefit its sacred
walls have been dedicated. We are glad
to speak from a knowledge that is abso
lutely correct and say that it is in a bet
ter condition than it has ever been before.
Our people, our board, our teachers, our
patrons and our children, stand as a Unit
in saying there can be no failure, no pres
| sure that shall touch the sehools. God
help us to act wisely in ail matters per
taining to the upward and onward ten
dency of the Institute.
Rey. B. F. Wilson, president of the
Converse College, Spartanburg, S. C.,
has sent Prof. H. B. Carmichael a schol
arship in his college good for two years’
tuition, and worth fifty dollars a year.
He states that he has been informed that
Prof. Carmichael has one of the best
schools in our county, hence the schol
arship. This is the first we ever have
known to be sent to a country school,
but some bright girl will get an oppor
tunity they should not treat indiffer
ently. We have learned that Miss May
Hartsfield, of Patillo, who made an aver
age of 99 1-2 in all branches, has been
appointed to take the scholarship.

State School Commissioner Glenn
made a fine speech at the Jackson Insti
tute on Wednesday. Those of our peo
ple who did not hear it and hear Col.
MeKibben introduce him, and hear Mr.
Mallet introduce Prof. Blasingame, and
hear Prof. Biasingame’s speech, missed
a great treat. The whole speech of Mr.
Glenn was a well spoken piece of logic,
unanswerable. The only unkind refer
ence made to any one was to the editors
in general, and this did not hurt, as edi
tors are a kiud of animal who cares little
for the abuse they get for doing their
duty. Our people are anxious for Mr.
Glenn to talk us again. He says
teachers are the fnost potent factors for
good in the development of the young,
and should be more appreciated. He is
right. It is a shame to mistreat a teacher,
