Bennett The Man for Coffee Without a Dissent nig Vote. The grand jury of Coffee county has unanimously endorsed John W. Bennett for the solicitorship. Tuesday afternoon just before the grand jury adjorned alter a two days siege by the respective candidates and their friends a loud cheering was heard in the grand jury room. Foreman, Thomas Young sent for Mr. Bennett to appear before the grand jury. When Mr. Bennett walked in there was another loud cheer and the fore man announced to him that the grand jury had endorsed him without a dis senting vote. This was such a sur prise to Mr. nennett that he was hard ly able to reply. For a moment he stood silent and then said his heart felt what his tongue was unable to ex press. That whether or not he should lie elected solicitor, lie would so en deavor to conduct his future career that they would have no cause to re gret the action they had taken in his endorsement. That lie was taught by an humble father that what ever a man’s intellect might be, his aspirations must he based in morality, and that hi j future endeavors in life would bo for intellectual and moral upbuilding of his fellow men. lie bow ed and retired and another applause issued from the grand jury. This is the biggest sweep that has been made and it appears now that Bennett will surely he the man.

John Bennett, be sides being a man of ability, possesses a strong magnetism, an and heeasily cap tivates when he is thrown with men. Ho is genial and generous aid these qualities are jewels among the charac teristics of men. They are marks of ability as well as the dignified culture of intellect (in which Mr. Bennett is notwanting) and as long as men have a social side they will be rewarded. The ITatjcrosH School. Prof Aldeen Pound carried us through the Wayeross Public School, and without exageration it beggars description. Wo have been through many of the fine schools in Georgia but non; has so tickled our fancy as the splendid apartments of its build ing and the excellent management of its system. Prof. Pound is a boru teacher and the liberal training he received at Emory eminently fitted him for the high po sition he holds. We knew him in col li ge and truly the hoy was the father of the man : for he is thissame energetic earnest, refined gentleman that we knew him then. One of the most interesting depart ments of the school is the primary under the tutorship of Miss Lockhart.
