In the last issue of the Breeze we
endeavored to show the people good
reasons for a special effort just now in
the interest of their children's educa

and one that must'be commended by
the public and supported to the ac

higher degree of competency on their
part. The means, however, for the
accomplishment of this end should

priced Taiclier to come into ibajr
midst to leach the handful of childAiß
that would gather from a thinly
tied school district. There is but ono?
other thing for these ptople to do,
that is to employ teachers who may
bo secured for a moderate sum who
have not been able to perfect them
selves in the higher brunches, who are
not even capable to stand the exami
nation sent out by the commissioner,
and yet, are competent to direct the
primitive learners comprisino the ma
jority of school attendants in such a
community.
It may bo urged that a teacher who
cannot secure a third grade license
under the present system is n.it com
petent to teach even tho primary
grades that are predominant through
out the rural schools. This wo shall
not pretend to deny and we deplore
the fact that these schools are no' able
to employ a hotter class of teachers ;
but the fact stares ns in the face, and
we must meet it with some sort of so
lution. The children ate growing and
their minds are hardening, acd people
cannot wait till they arc wealthy or
,lill they can move to town (God for
bid any more of this ingress to tbe
town and cities), and, too, we are tofd
that many of our fathers, some of
whom have von high honors in schol
arship, started their educations under
just such teachers as wo plead for.
W e do not wish to impede the great
upward impetus that has la on started
to improve the standard of teachers,
but we would check it TANARUS so much as
it interferes with the very cause for
which tear hers are being perfected.
Let down the examination and turn
all the children hack into the schools
that have been lurm-d out, even
though a few iucapanle teachers may
'Creep into the system. Let tho peo
ple have the benefit of the taxes tTiey
par. even though the progress their
children make be never so slow ; it is
better than no progress at all.
If Russia have offered to lend us
four hundred million dollars in gold,
let’s borrow it and move to Canada.
Take Tour Taper.
Take your home paper. Read it
j yourself and give your family the nen
! elit of it. The family newspaper has
! ceased to he a luxury only. It has
i lecome a necessity. No household is
I well regulated and completely equip
! pod that nae not the home newspaper
jas one of its furnishings. Aside from
the profit and pleasure of keeping
i thoroughly aure.tst of the times and
keeping in close touch with all that is
going on in the great world, there is a
delight in knowing how your Mends
ar,d neighbors are getting along.
There are so many things in the
home paper to interest and amuse
you. There are items concerning
people that perhaps you knew long
ago and had lost sight of during the
years that have passed.
Then take your home paper. I>o
not miss a single issue. The one tnat
you miss is the one that contained
something ilia' you especially wanted.
It is a good idea to keep it on file in
the house. There is nothing in ire in
teresting than the files of a newspaper.
Du. do not neglect the home paper.
Your support adds to its encourage
ment and makes it a better paper.
Take your home paper.—Rome Trib

From the Qaiette, Darien, Ga.
A Gazette reporter having heard that Mr.
Oeorge Thompson, who lives about six
teen miles from Darien, had been greatly
benefited by the use of Dr. Williams’Pink
Pills, called upon him last week to learn the
particulars of his cure.
Mr. Thompson is a young man of about
twenty-one. He greeted llie reporter cor
dially, and spoke freely about his case.
" You wouldn't think that I had been ill
for eighteen years, would you?” asked she,
and the reporter, after noticing bis strong,
healthy frame, the ruddy hue ot his cheeks
and generally stalwart appearance, was
forced to admit that no one would think so.
“ Well, I’ll tell you.” said Mr. Thomp
son, “ from the time of my birth until three
years ago, I never saw a well day. My par
ents spent as much as their limited means
could afford to restore my health, but with
no avail. I never grew very much, and
when I was eighteen l looked like a boy of
twelve. I had no energy, no strength. It
was a hard task for me to move about. I
whs thin and pale—gimstlv, in fact. I suf
fered greatly from headaches, and was rarely
free from them. I had no appetite and never
enjoved my food.
“ Vou may well imagine that in the face
of all this life was a burden to me. Many
a time I thought I’d be better dead and
wished that I might be taken. Doctors
seemed to do me no good. They said my
ease was one of ‘arrested development.’ and
prescribed tonics, but their medicine had no
effect upon me. I grew weaker and weaker.
At last, three years ago, I began to take Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. From the first Ixix
1 took I began to improve, i have taken
since then about two dozen boxes of the
pills, with the result that you see. My ap
petite is excellent, I am very much stronger
than 1 was, and never have headache any
more. In the past three years 1 have grown
more than 1 did in the first eighteen years of
my life put together, ami 1 fully believe I
owe my cure to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I
1 owe them a debt I can never ropnv.”
Mr. Thompson then introduced the re
porter to his parents, who are both strong
and healthy looking. They fully bore out
the young man’s statement in every partic
ular. *’ If you had seen my son three years
ago, when he was a pale-faced, listless
wreck,” said his mother. “ you would realize
how great a change has been made in his
health by Dr. Williams’ Pink rills.’’
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailing
Mood builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves.
The pills are sold by all dealers, or will l>e
sent post paid on receipt of price 50 cents a
box. or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never
add in bulk of by the 100) by addressing

“ It is with pleasure that I send a testimonial
concerning what Hood's Sarsaparilla has done
for my daughter. It is a wonderful medicine
and I cannot recommend it too highly. Sarah,
| who is fourteen years old, has been
Afflicted With Scrofula
ever since she was one year old. For five years
she has had a running sore on ona side of her
i face. We tried every remedy recommended, hut
: nothing did her any good until we commenced
; using llood's Sarsaparilla. My married daughter
advised mo to use Hood’s Sarsaparilla because
Hood’s*> Cures
; It Rad cured her of dyspepsia. She had been
troubled with that complaint since childhood,
and si:u her cure she has never been without a

; commenced giving it to Sarah about one year
i and it has conquered the running sore,
