Southern Normal Institute Notes-
Joseph P. Mani.ey.
The school authorities are highly
pleased with the present daily at
tendance. The average daily at
tendance, since the beginning of
the third term, on January 12th,
has been somewhere very near 225.
This number stands for the active
enrollment of the pupils who are
now in school, and should not be
confused with the total enrollment,
during this school year up to the
present, which is about 300. This
number will in all probability be
increased to 350 and more before
the close of tlie year. Unless all
indications fail, the “high water
mark” in attendance will be easily
reached and passed this year. A
number of new pupils have entered
since the beginning of the third
term, and, thereby, have added a
new impetus as it were to all de
partments.
A foot race path or track, ond
eightli mile in length, is in course
of construction on the campus.
The boys of the school expect to
hold a scries of athletic contests at
some date in the early spring; run
ning, jumping, putting the shot,
etc.
A joint debate has been arranged
between the Dixie Debating Club
and the Southern Literary Society,
the two leading literary societies in
school. The debate will be public,
and will be held at some convenient
date in the near future, not yet de
cided upon. The question is:
“Resolved that Georgia should
adopt a system of compulsory edu
cation m ner puDlic schools.' The
affirmative side is upheld by the
Dixie Debating Club, with the fol
lowing debaters : John Smith, Miss
Annie Ward, Miss Pauline McCor
mick. The negative will be repre
sented by Seals Briggs, I.en Roan,
Preston Ward. This promises to
be a lively contested debate, and
and the public arq cordially invited
to attend, and will be duly notified
of its date.
On last Monday night, Jan. 25,
the Scientific Finals were delivered.

Mr. Edward Pierce, also a mem
ber of the Scientific Class, was pre
vented from delivering his oration
on New England Literature, on ac
count of lack of preparation, caused
by sickness. In the delivery of
these pieces, the class not only en
leilamed but also instructed the
audience in a very creditable man
ner.
After the formal program was
over, the social function of the
occassion was begun. In other
words, we all enjoyed what we call
a “Reunion” or a general prom
enade.
Costly Warning.
Mr. E. B. Moore, of Broxton,
whose house was destroyed by fire
last week, was in Douglas last Sat
urday, attending t> business Mr.
Moore says he had just finished h : s
house—drove the last nail by iamp
light—and intended to insure it the
next day, when it was burned with
in less than two hours after being
finished. He thought, at first, that
rats, in the closet, might have caused
the fire, but now, it seems, one of his
cdildren had deen playing with a
cotton string in the fire, burning the
end off, and left ii lying near, when
perhaps it was still burning (as it is
known cotton will burn long after
it is thought to be Grhout fire) and
reached the clothing near by, while
Mr. Moore and family were at sup
per. He will rebuild at once, and in
sure when the house is framed.
Oh, no, Pauline, we are not
angry, but when a newspaper man
tosses us a ball we’re going to catch

Clerk Dan Gaskin is getting well.
He still wears a wrap on his throat,
but is up and about. So many peo
ple will be delighted to hear this.
Mr. H. Leader, of the Leader
store, is at heme again, after a trip
of several days tr- Vid ilia and Sa
vannah. He must base been gone

then, we promised not to say any
thing about this.
MRS. GRUNDY SAYS
That a contract is a con
-5 tract, written or verbal and
is binding. If it is brok
jM without providential cr
m legal cause the one mak
i}) 1 ing it has lied. Now, con
siller.
That some one has said that
“poets are bo n,’ but no one has
ever deftinitely settled the question
as to where fools come from. But
they are here, all the same.
That she has found out that
some women cannot talk with a
friend half an hour without bring
ing in the name of some man she
is fond of, two or three times.
Just notice.
That some men declare, when
they want a girl to marry them,,
that they have sown their wild
oats, but after marriage, conclude
that they, want to sow a fresh crop.
Well, they do!
That some lazy men love work
because it never hurts them. They
give it no chance.
That she never in her life saw a
monkey imitating a person’s action
when it did not try to suppass its
patron.
That she could never understand
how some girls in the dark make a
mistake and sit down in a man’s
lap and not on the floor.
That if a man hires himself to
another for so much per day lie
sells his legal time. If he wastes
that time he takes his employer’s
money without giving fair consid
eration. That’s what she tells
Grundy.
The Peoples’ Pharmacy-
In keeping with the rapid growth
of this town and county the pro
prietors of the Peoples’ Pharmacy
believe that «'? first-class, modern
drug house with all the latest equip
ments were desirable, and h-jve
spared neither time or money in
putting it at your services. Per
fect service in compounding drugs
means a great deal—it secures
health and life. Imperfect service
brings disaster and sorrow. It is
the aim of the Peoples’ Pharmacy
to give you an ideal service in the
dispensing of drugs and medicines.
We know of nothing kicking in
experience, stock or general equip
ment that is demanded to give the
people the perfect service that care
ful people should demand.
We have only time to say this,
and to ask a part of your patronage.
The Peoples’ Pharmacy.
He Wanted his Paper-
Dr. G. M. Ricketson, at Brox
ton, failed to get his paper last
Friday, and he spoke to Bro. Ox
ford about it—Bro. Oxford told
us and we have mailed the Doctor.-,

ry to get the mail off, that we
overlooked his name, and we thank
him and Bro Oxford for speaking
to us. This will all be done
rway with in a few days, as our
new type and mailing machine will
be on hand before anotner week,
and the machine never misses a
single name.

When we move into the Sweat-
Vickers’ building our business room
will be first door to the left, up
stairs. Just next door to us will
be three preachers, brother Harden,
of the Presbyterian church and
brothers Butler and Oxford, of the
Baptist. You may take it as you
please, but preachers will be get
ting pretty close to mighty good
company.
Our local brother throws a brick
at us when he says : “All our paper
is printed in Douglas.” Well, part
or ours is edited and printed in At
lanta, and he would send out a
better paper than he does,. by far.
if he’d get both sides of his edited
and printed there. And that’s nc
joke.
